Moon Landing

[NAKID]

So, wife was having a discussion with some friends given the recent shuttle launch and she is the only of her friends that thinks the original 1969 Moon Landing was faked. I agree, I think we've never been to the moon. What do you think?

I think it was real

if they faked it the astronauts would have had an unfortunate accident

clean up loose ends and such

I don't understand how that re-enforces your position?

[superjohn]

Completely real. Let's face it, in 1969 we were competing with the Soviets on just about every front. The Soviets were monitoring all communications and everything America did and would have jumped at the chance to cry foul and discredit a "fake" moon landing.

[Triple J]

I can't believe that people think it was faked. Unbelievable.

Someone that risked everything to go to the moon would react that way to someone questioning their sacrifice. Someone who took part in a hoax probably wouldn't.

Nevermind that I have a hard time believeing that someone like Buzz Aldrin (3rd in his class at West Point, Air Force fighter pilot/instructor, etc) would knowingly lie to the American public. Same goes for all of the other Apollo astronauts.

BTW...that video is awesome!

Or, you could argue that he reacted just like someone who was caught in one of the biggest lies of all time. Perspective....

I think it is a dare to say that to Buzz -- see if you suffer the same fate.

Which, btw, that just proves that the old school space men were bad mothermake the beast with two backsing ass.

Right. 

So what's your scientific evidence that we've never been there...other than you just don't think so?

[Popeye the Sailor]

You really have no proof either way. Seems sort of moot, no?


Besides, we all know a shuttle on a conveyor does not generate lift so....it doesn't take off.

Photos and lunar samples would count as proof.

Oh no...not again!

Proof? Don't have any, but then again you don't have any either.

Photo's can be faked (hence the thread) and lunar rocks have been found on Earth...

How do you know they're lunar...

if we haven't been there?
