Did man land on the moon?

[on the road]

i don't believe man has landed on the moon. i think the american's made it all up, and what started off as a throwaway comment at work, i've actually come to believe more and more.

i reckon the american's faked it.

then a few weeks after i made this comment, there was a programme on tv showing up loads of flaws in the american tv footage, which just cemented my opinion, such as

• photo's matching the nevada desert,
• the "cross" (which is on the glass of the camera) coming out behind the images of the astronauts (as if the astronaut had been superimposed on the photo),
• the films of the astronaut taking big gravity-less steps, when speeded up just looks like they are running normally,
• astronauts who were originally going to go to the moon and being withdrew from the mission and who knew the "truth" all dying in strange accidents,
• debris from the moon, left by earlier moon landings, not being in later photo's
• lack of dust on the feet of the pod that landed (apparently the moon surface is really dusty, which gets kicked up when the pod lands yet didn't settle on the pod itself)
• ex-nasa astronauts claiming no one had gone there,
• and apparently there is a belt of radiation between earth and the moon and apparently the shuttle would need 1 inch thick lead on it for the astronauts to even survive passing through.. in which case the shuttle would have been too heavy to take off.
• questions as to why, after only a few landings, they didn't go back (perhaps because they no longer could fake it with technology getting better)

any thoughts?

i mean, in this day and age, is it really that hard to believe they faked it.

All your stupid lunatic conspiracy theories are debunked here

but if no one has ever been to the moon then you can't disprove it either.

it's like God. no one has ever seen him, yet you can't prove he exists... or disprove it.

science is a fluid concept. or something like that.

Whatever science may be, it most certainly does not require you to believe in everything and anything that cannot be disproved... I suggest you look up Bertrand Russell's teapot.

its not stupid to question something... especially when the government has said it

and i'm still not convinced.

 

[Cathryn]

Don't believe it either!

I'm more inclined to believe mankind might have managed it in more recent years...but they didn't even have dishwashers when the first 'landing' took place. No dishwashers but a man on the moon?? Come on!

 

[buggi]

yea, and if they can put one man on the moon... why can't they put them all there???



(all men except Daniel Craig that is)

I guess it takes a man to do a Wikki check:

The first reports of a mechanical dishwashing device are of an 1850 patent by Joel Houghton of a hand-powered device.

Modern dishwashers are descended from the 1886 invention of Josephine Cochrane, also hand-powered, which she unveiled at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. Cochrane was quite wealthy and was the granddaughter of John Fitch, the inventor of the steamboat. She never washed dishes herself and only invented the dishwasher as her servants were chipping her fine china.

Models installed with permanent plumbing arrived in the 1920s. In 1937, William Howard Livens invented a small dishwasher suitable for home. It had all the features of a modern dishwasher, including a front door for loading, a wire rack to hold crockery and a rotating sprayer.[2] Electric drying elements were added in 1940.

Adoption was greatest at first in commercial environments, but by the 1970s dishwashers had become commonplace in domestic residences in the US.

IFYP.



Daniel Craig isn't even real, he's just a CGI.

Isnt there a mirror on the moon that they can use laser light to measure distances?This is how some of the calculations have been made about the moon,i for one believe they did land,.There is no wind on the moon,but there is loads less friction becaus the air is non existant,so when the flag was placed the movement from that didnt stop moving as there was no air friction to stop it,although this has been shown in numerous programmes explaining the idea that it was a hoax,it wasnt as far as im concerned,and will be the stepping stone to deeper space travel eventually,as its easy to launch from there.

There was a clip of him in slow motion advertising hd i think,and it zoomed in on his face,and all that came to mind was,SID JAMES?

 

[buggi]

well, who's worried about his face.. you don't look at the mantelpiece when you're stoking the fire do you?

Depends if the fire's behind you.

Strangely enough this topic came up the other day when India launched it's moon probe. I was wondering what the resolution of the 3D map was going to be. It's certainly going to be vastly better than anything previously attempted.

 

[buggi]

Hmmm... do you think India moon probe will find the american flag?

Tell you what, we'll drop you on Dartmoor and if you can't find the KitKat wrapper that I dropped there four years ago we'll take it as proven that the KitKat wrapper never existed....
