Anyone here think the moon landings were faked?

I believe some pretty crazy shit and even I believe we landed on the moon.

 

[Subcommander R.]

No.

Anyone ever tell you about keeping quotes in context?

"against a coherent external threat we were in direct competition with."

It's still a no. If you think this country was unified in the 60s then you are sadly mistaken.

Early '60s, yes. Late '60s, not so much. But the majority of the country stayed the same throughout.

And the early '60s determined the course of the decade. Including the space program.

The post-Nixon mentality of today is totally different and you seem unable to accept that.

The military industrial complex faked the moon landings and blew up the WTC and Pentagon and it is all Obama's fault. This is true because Glenn Beck showed me how it all fit together on his little chalk board.

I was looking at a thread over in Sci Fi and Fantasy about an upcoming movie about a top secret moon-mission, and that got me thinking about all the people I know that truly believe we never even went to the moon in the first place.

This, distressingly, is a lot of people in my life. Personally, I have little trust in the American government, but I don't buy into the Moon Hoax theory, if only because that would mean there were thousands of people in the 60s and 70s who were pretty sure they were building stuff for moon missions, or, you know, went there.

But still, I run into SO MANY PEOPLE who think the landings were faked! This being a Star Trek board and all, I figure most folks here must be more knowledgeable than that. But you never know! Anyone here boarding the conspiracy train? Discuss!

The Moon is real, and the Moon landings were real.

Not only that, but the Moon belongs to America, and anxiously awaits our astro-men.

The Mars landings were fake. The govt pretended the astronauts got killed, but they really were chasing them down after they escaped. Luckily one Astronaut James Brolin got away and lived to tell the tale of Capricorn One.

I only know one woman who believes that the moon landings were fake. She carried on about the flag waving in the photos and when I tried to tell her why it seemed to be she threw up her hands and told me she didn't understand science and didn't want an scientific explanation (even though the answer I was going to give didn't involve science).

Fucking flags, how do they work?

 

[BolianAuthor]

When our astro-men return to the Moon, I just know that all those artifacts and the areas around them will become (national?) monuments.

 

[Buck Rogers]

I have seen those same TV broadcasts as a nine year old boy in a farm house that had a TV my camp went to visit,and I told everybody to shut up and pay attention to a historic event that was happening before our eyes.
I know that the hoaxers are wrong on many accounts these theories started right after Capricorn one,and was forgotten until Apollo 13 came out this new movie is speculation on what if Apollo missions 18,19,and 20 were launched so let us be the judge when we see it on the movie screen and decide fr ourselves if the subject of the moon landings were faked or not.

Position is 9/10ths of the law. We haven't been there in 40 years, we don't own it.

Magic!

Nah, we called it. It's ours.

Additionally, we have a flag. And that proves it. Thanks Eddie Izzard!

I assume you mean “Possession is nine-tenths (or nine points) of the law.”

And whether we’ve been to the moon recently or not is irrelevant. The U.S. is a signatory to the Outer Space Treaty of 1967, which stipulates that no country may make a territorial claim on any planet or other celestial body.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

we should be able to see the moon mission gear left on the moon

Yeah, it's too bad nothing like that exists.

Oh wait.

PWNED!

 

[Technomage]

What, you mean this photo isn't real? ;-)

Oh, noes!

 

[Technomage]

Non-believers tend also to be oblivious of all the pre-Apollo missions that provided the technological advancements that made the Moon landings possible. I don't think most of them have even heard of these missions:

Project Mercury 1958 - 1963:

Project Gemini 1962 - 1966 :

And, of course, Project Apollo 1966 - 1972:

If anyone in this day and age believes the moon landings were faked, what with all the information there is debunking that myth, then they are truly stupid, suspicious people. Wonder if Tea Baggers believe that nonsense . . . .

 

[iguana_tonante]

I don't think the landings were faked, but I think we found something up there or out there that spooked us... that's why we closed down the program and destroyed the drawings for the Saturn rockets and the rest of the hardware.

So you wear just half of a tinfoil hat?

Actually I just don't worry about it.

What about the spooky moon-something? Aren't you worried about it? If I believed that, I would be.

'nuff said.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Of course the Moon landings were faked. The Cold War was faked, too, that's why the Soviets were in on it. It's the secret one-world government. The Illuminati. They do stuff like that all the time. They're even the ones who faked all those Dinosaur fossils.

What next, I ask you? What next?
