Did man land on the moon?

[Mr Phoebus]

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

There should be twelve. Another six and you can play a round of golf.

don't you need gravity to play golf?

Oh dear god...

There is gravity on the moon. It is not as strong as gravity on the Earth. Sheesh...

There is gravity, it's just lower than Earth's. (beaten to it)

Astronauts really have played golf on the moon.

The faked Moon landings have been an in-joke in Hollywood for years. In one of Connery's Bond movies, he blunders his way onto a set where they're filming the landings.

The probe is in a fairly close orbit of about 62 miles later on. I don't know detailed stuff on what the specs of what on board can do but I'd have thought that there's a sporting chance of being able to resolve some larger features with enough sunlight at flyover time. Flag, it seems very unlikely to be able to spot that.

ok, i'll rephrase that...

don't you need a decent amount of gravity to play golf on the moon?

and how do you know there is gravity? coz some NASA guy told you ?

i think the soup dragon's in on it...

 

[marinyork]

Because gravity works at infinite ranges and because the moon contains a lot of mass?

No! Stop ruining a perfectly good conspiracy with naughty old facts!

I think it was actually Buzz Aldrin who decked someone for giving him the
'it was all faked' line.
