Except that he couldn't have filmed it, because 1) it was in video, not film and 2) the technology to do so never existed. It still doesn't in analogue format either.

Any of you believe the Moon Landing was Fake?

I don't care about the specifics. I believe we went. Period.
Three people can keep a secret if two are dead.

Have pity on me, I'm from the South.Dude, as a Californian, you like, TOTALLY put "like" in the wrong place. It should be between the "are" and "soooo".
And yes. I do find it more interesting and useful to debate the intricacies of Californian dialects and where "like" is supposed to go, than go on and on about "fake" Moon landing conspiracy "theories".

So you do or don't believe we went?
I read the Wikipedia debunking conspiracy theorists points, and looked for the evidence they supplied....I'm interested in all perspectives, not just one.

But that's still not using science, that's still just accepting (or not) other peoples' word.
I actually took the time to use my own brain to calculate it all for you, rather than just post you a bunch of tired links. That's using science.
If you'd like, I could go into much greater detail about types of radiation and how they affect human tissue and so on and so forth. But it would be very boring.
So the ball is in your court. Why can't a rocket weighing 45 tonnes take off using 7.5million lbs of thrust take off when an aircraft of 333tonnes using only 120lbs of thrust can?
Modern rockets used on the space shuttle are even heavier (in excess of 2000 tonnes). But they can still take off.
Some more maths:
One model rocket has a mass of 50 grams and a rocket engine that produces a thrust of 5 Newtons for 1 second.
To find the weight, 50 g needs to be changed into kilograms by dividing by 1000. This gives a mass of 0.050 kg. Weight is mass (in kg) x 9.8, which gives 0.050 x 9.8 = 0.49 N.
The resultant force is the thrust – weight = 5 – 0.49 = 4.51 N (unrounded).
Acceleration = resultant force divided by mass = 4.51 ÷ 0.050 = 90 metres per second squared (90 m/s2). This means that, every second, the speed of the rocket increases by 90 m/s.
This is nine times the normal acceleration due to gravity.

Of course we did.
"Three can keep a secret if two are dead."
Don't remember who said it, but it's true.
The more people who know a secret the more impossible it becomes to keep it.
Seems much more likely that the moon landing was true than a fake.
60's movie effects were hardly convincing, for one. But it would have been an enormously large conspiracy, and I don't trust these things to remain hidden on such a grand scale over any considerable time period.
So, without even worrying about the science, just put it down to my faith in man's inability to keep a secret.

People who believe this stuff vastly overestimate the competency of the US government.
But again, arguing with them is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how well you do, it's still going to knock over all your pieces, **** on your board and strut around like it won anyway.
There is a recent study that found it is impossible for a large group of people to keep a secret without any leaks. I wish I'd saved a link to it.
Just start a new thread and ask everyone NOT to share the link.
Don't need a study.
Every person who knows is a potential leak, so the probability of leakage rises with number & time.
And this would be a massive conspiracy lasting half a century.

Trump turned all the schools into a Wendy's.
Yeah, but I was amusing myself by suggesting that the study could be proven without even being read.
Just start a thread and tell people NOT to share. If someone shares, you don't even need to click the hyperlink, since it's already proven.
Bah, now you made me explain my joke, you've sucked all the humour out of it. And yeah, I know...'HUMOUR' is probably a little strong.
Curse my poor social skills!

I am socially competent, with the occasional bout of 'cluelessly jamming my foot in my mouth and then making things worse with some rambled attempted explanation'.

Mom?
Sorry. I'm Australian. If you asked 'Mum?' I might have been freaked out, but I'm definitely not a 'Mom'.

I see, but still I wont say yes or no, and really I don't care.
