The Moon

[x_amy_x]

What do you think about the moon-landing, did it really happen??? if so why havnt they re-visited it?

[MargeB]

Standy uppy flag (no wind on moon), bad shadows, the list goes on. My fav conspiracy.

I think if they did go, the Americans were unimpressed by the lack of Malls and Macdonalds, so decided not to go back. Also, there was no one with a country to invade, and no oil. God dammit.

I suspect MargeB is on another "the earth is flat" leg pull or he's having a really bad day... at any rate, check this site:

Do you know how many people would have to be in on such a conspiracy?  Literally thousands.  Do you really think that many people could keep such a secret? Hmmm....

[MargeB]

They did! They went there to try to mine the moon for its huge irony ore reserves, since there was a shortage in the USA.

Hey, they convinced several hundred thousand that The Blessed Virgin appeared on a piece of toast, a moon landing should be a cinch.

How are you this morning, Clanad?

[Clanad]

Really well, MargeB.... but it's 1449 hours here so must be, what ... 2150 there or so?

MargeB, do you live in Hampstead,

Amy this has been done a lot on here before. They went, it would have been easier to have gone than to fake all the evidence. Tell you what, what's your favourite anomoly? I'll do my best with it. Flag? Stars? Hubble....?

[MargeB]

Yes, Clanad, even later now. It's a lonely life as a poker fiend...:-)

[MargeB]

mfewell, that's the second time today! I always get really worried that something bad has happened to you!

[stevie21]

"or he's having a really bad day..."

Isn't MargeB a girl?

And anyway, isn't the moon made of cheese?

FINALLY!!
If it was all filmed in a huge film studio, wouldn't they have needed a humungous fan to blow the flag and keep it upright? It'd have blown all the moon dust away.
More likely that someone planted the flag into the ground, though that it would look more photogenic outstretched (as flags generally appear)... etc etc.

The filming of 2 different locations that look identical previously made me suspicious.

[MargeB]

I'm a man, Stevie. Hoops supporter like you too!

[fo3nix]

it was filmed next to area 51, where they keep aliens!!

see.. crators to make it look like the moon!!

[magicbeatle]

Of course we went to the moon. It's not as far away as you think you know. My girlfriend is short sighted, but when i pointed to the sky the other night and asked her 'What can you see?' she replied 'The Moon'. So if she can see it, it cant be very far away can it?  Anyway, what's wrong with Hampstead, I live there?

[bruce5755]

I have often wondered about the same thing, after seeing a documentuary on TV about the dubious evidence of the truth.  How come that the background in two different locations appears to be exactly the same, (same rocks, same shadows etc.)  Also they reckon that they went to the moon using computers with no more power than that of a school calculator, is it possible?  When you consider that during the Iraqi war the Americans made so many mistakes with their guided missiles and hit so many civillian targets, how could they have made it to the moon and back?

Believe me, I would love it if they had gone, but the evidence does stack up against it, I'm sorry to say!

[Loosehead]

How did they fool the Russians? How did the laser reflector get on the Moon ? How did they fake the moon rocks? Hundreds of proper scientist have examined over 200lbs of moon rocks all agree they could not have been formed on earth. It would have been easier to go to the moon and get them than fake them on Earth. All conspiracy theory points have been comprehesively debunked. see here: http://www.clavius.org/

[delilahcat]

They have revisited it. 6 different Apollo missions have landed on the moon. That's 12 men who've walked on it, 6 men in orbit around it, plus all the technicians back on earth controlling it. Are they ALL lying?

They haven't been back since 1972 because there's nothing of any interest there. Perhaps it finally occurred to them that the astronomical cost could be better employed on earth.

[kags]

They are planning to send a powerful telescope into lunar orbit, so powerful it will pick out detail of the items left by the astronauts. (sorry, read this last week now can't find the link)Perhaps that will shut all the conspiracy theorists up and they can go off and write their nonsense about something else.

[Loosehead]

No Kags they'll say that the pictures are fabricated and are part of the conspiracy. You can't win with these nutters they ignore the evidence.
