First U.S. Moon landing real or fake?

[Onkel Neal]

The real conspiracy is... the US never left. We've been terraforming the moon for 26 years. What you see at night is a holograph projected by a satellite. In another 20, all US citizens will be eligible to live there and escape the coming global warming catastrophe.

I got me a nice little spread by the rim of the South Pole-Aitken basin. Y'all come visit, ya hear?

The real conspiracy is NASA hids the existence of the Moon Babes so Neal can have them to himself. Houston...we have no problem.

It's all a fake! And I have the reasons why!

-35 years ago, I read in a textbook from 1959 that the Van Halen Belts contained deadly radiation that would kill anything in them.
-I heard on a TV show that rendezvous in orbit is hard. So they couldn't have done it, unless they climbed up to the command module from the rope that was hanging out of it.
-If Apollo 13 really exploded, the astronauts would have died.
-It's 250 degrees on the Moon, so the astronauts would melt. This is also why NASA is covering up liquid water on the Moon, since its wicked witch-like astronauts would obviously melt from the water.
-My Uncle Betty says that his aunt's cousin's wife's roommate’s former acquaintance said that he didn't think we landed on the Moon.
-Neil Armstrong didn't fly all the missions.
-Nixon had Kennedy shot by Castro because he knew that we couldn't land on the Moon. Nixon was elected president the next day.
-On Apollo 10, the booster "POGO"ed. But the pogo stick was invented in 1919, so they should have been able to solve this problem.
-On Apollo 9 the rocket was hit by lightning 8 times. But everyone knows that thunder is faster than lightning, so the astronauts would have heard thunder before the lightning hit.
-On the Moon, there's no air to support combustion. Therefore, the lunar rover couldn't go.
-Once I weighted a feather and dropped it and it dropped just as fast as a hammer, proving that the experiment from Apollo 22 was faked.
-Oxygen turns into a different kind of oxygen when it leaves the Earth's atmosphere, so you couldn't breathe it.
-Russian rockets don't fall over because they're wider at the bottom.
-Someone told me once that the lunar module should have created a crater underneath it. But someone else told me it didn't. So it couldn't have landed.
-The Apollo Conical Space Capsule (tm) couldn't have carried enough fuel to continuously fire the engine for all two weeks of the mission.
-The Apollo Conical Space Capsule (tm) was 13 feet wide. The parachutes were 80 feet wide.
-The rocket couldn't have flown because as everyone knows, tall things tend to tip over, and the moment the tower released it the rocket would have fallen on it's side. That's why the space shuttle is so big and fat - it's more stable.
-The technology was so bad back then they couldn't even figure out how to put microphones in the helmets. That's why they used gold foil to cover the face, as the pictures and movies are of stunt doubles. The real astronauts were off to the side recording
-There is no Sun on the Moon, otherwise the sky wouldn't appear to be black.
-There isn't any gravity on the Moon, so time would stop flowing and create an oxbow lake.
-There's no air in space to hold the dust grains on the lunar surface apart, so it should have compacted into a hard, rough, hard material.
-There's no gas on the Moon, so the astronauts would have had no way to refuel the rover.
-There's nothing for rockets to push against in space. I tried jumping in midair but I couldn't, proving that rockets couldn't move in space.
-Tom Hanks was able to fake it. I couldn't tell the difference.
-We never landed on the moon because Tony's mom said "there's an goddamned man down there at the water cooler who says NASA never landed on the Moon. Everyone was talking about it ... I just didn't know what to say!"

Lol, good point, he also faked Normany and had me fooled until the part about "sticky bombs".

[Skybird]

Anyone remembering "Capricorn One"?

[Torplexed]

Yep...I mentioned it six posts down.

A site that has convinced me beyond all shadow of a doubt the Apollo skeptics are right...

@torp in your picture i can still see the hair its not completely gone is it and the scaling mark on the lens is much thincker than a strand of hair my friend

[Torplexed]

Hey! I'm on your side now. The moon landings were a complete fraud. No need to convince me further.

I still believe in Moon Babes tho....

[Mike 'Red Ocktober' Hense]

heeeyyy!!! it was on teeeeveeeeeeeee!!!! it had to be real

--Mike

An addendum to Torplexed's first post, about the Soviet Union: not only were they sending unmanned vehicles to the moon, but they certainly had the technology to watch ours. If we had faked it, they would have been shouting it to the world in a heartbeat.

[micky1up]

thats not how the cold war worked my friend many things where kept quiet on both side's and many deals done behind closed doors just consider this if it where true then they went to the moon with less computing power than todays calculators have it was truly faked with the best of intentions that was not to waste a god damn fortune acctually doing it

Actually the scariest thing about that movie (Capricorn One) was it had OJ Simpson in a starring role.

I guess we can wait until Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter departs for the moon in a couple years. That orbiter will have high resolution cameras and it's slated to photograph the landing sites. I don't think it'll be able to resolve footprints except perhaps under certain lighting conditions but it will be able to see many Apollo artifacts such as the descent module.

Of course, the hoaxers will believe its all faked but there is no convincing some people. It reminds me of what happened when the Mars Global Surveyer took high resolution images of the "face" on Mars, proving it was just an eroded mountain. The true believers couldn't accept that and kept dragging out the same over-processed low resolution images with their precious "face." Then there was another claim NASA had nuked it from orbit to prevent us from knowing alien civilizations are real.

Aliens are real. I've seen the Moon Babes!

I hope they conquer us soon.
