Moon landing hoax

[sonofskeptish]

Look, I'm curious as to what you know about it, you can PM if you want. I'm not going to ridicule you, I'm just seriously curious what you know. I don't doubt the possibility, governments are not truth tellers, I realize this. I just want to see the information so I can judge for myself.

I've opened a can of worms, sorry. I was being sarcastic. I should expect and welcome the ridicule for my ridiculous statement. I just saw the chance to make a blind faith based type statement to see what it feels like. Kinda like posting a picture of a tree that looks like a praying man and claiming it's a sign from god. I don't like it, and now I'm back to making rational statements based on evidence and rational thoughts. This seemed to be the best place to make my stupid claim. I will now go and vote in the poll... of course the moon landing was real.

Of course it was a hoax. Last night I saw the string they use to hold up the moon!

And the role of sarcastic contrarian is gently passed from me to you.

Haha, damn. I thought I was about to learn something phenomenal. Oh well! I hope you enjoyed your social experiment.

Actually, my brother-in-law went through a phase (or perhaps is still in it) where he was convinced it was a fake. Not surprising though... he's Australian.

I think this is the radio broadcast which convinced him...

I'm asking you for the information that leads you to deny the happening of the greatest accomplishment of human history.

The greatest accomplishment in human history? What does macaroni and cheese have to do with this?

Er, was that a moon phase perhaps?

If it helps, the sarcasm was obvious to me, and i've been laughing at the people who were trying to call you out.

I knew a guy who was working on a "moon landing hoax" video... I think with the dude that got punched by Buzz... He was convinced that the government was spying on him because they uncovered this grand conspiracy.

He also thought he could start fires with his amazing mind powers so....

So many people use smart alec tactics to reply to moon hoax theorist because they don't have the knowledge to make an educated reply. All the knowledge required can be found at apollomoonhoax.com this site has absolute proof! What we all have to do is put ourselves into the frame of the 1960s space race. The world was so much different then. We thought differently, we reacted differently than we do now. Heros could be made from thought experiments. There were no journos on the moon waiting for the apollo crews to land. We only had

NASA. The soviets were under their own cloud with Gagarin's flight. The free world wanted a success story and NASA gave it to us. That does not mean it was true. Personally I believe NASA sent spacecraft to the moon but no humans.

This image is solid proof on its own. This is a photograph of one of the landing pads on apollo 11. Note there is no dust. Not even the tiniest grain. Yet the landing pads were under the landing rocket and the moon's surface is layered by powdery, grainy regolith dust.

Check it all out on the above site. I am not trying to sprook the site just to get people to see the truth.

I wanted to watch this but got this message

"Lunar Hoax (1/16) on Co..." The YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated due to multiple third-party notifications of copyright infringement.

I agree with this much.
Anyone who didn't work extensively in aerospace
shouldn't be supporting the hoax theories.
It's just entirely outside of their real world experience.

"A rocket or jet powered vehicle descending in a dusty landscape on Earth will blow up billowing clouds of dust particles which slowly descend, buoyed up by air resistance. This is demonstrated spectacularly by this video of Blue Origin’s New Shepard booster returning to Earth.

However unlike Earth, the Moon has no atmosphere, and that means dust behaves differently. Dust particles are blown up by rocket thrust on the Moon, but fall straight to the ground again. This means that the descending LM was not surrounded by a billowing dust cloud. Also the Descent Engine was throttled back in the final stages of landing and in fact was shut down 5ft above the surface. The chances of dust gathering on the pads was very low as the dust than can be seen being blasted away in films of the landing is blowing underneath, rather than over, the footpads. The claim that the lunar surface under Apollo 11 Descent Engine’s nozzle is undisturbed is not true as can be seen in the image below (similar images were taken on other missions). Rather than being non-existent, the surface disturbance by landing spacecraft has been studied by geologists and engineers trying to see if we can learn anything to help design future missions. An example of this research can be seen in this article’s further reading section."

It is hard to believe that there are still Lunar Landing Hoaxers out there. But then the belief in a Flat Earth has had a resurgence, this is not nearly as insane as that belief. Still every argument posted is simply a PRATT by now. But in case the recent poster is more than a drive by I will be happy to go over his points one at a time. Or if he has any gumption he can check out this website:

Clavius Moon Base - debunking the moon hoax

Odds are that all of his claims are refuted there.

 

[Twilight Hue]

If you really want to know what happened, read Clavius Moon Base - debunking the moon hoax or Bad Astronomy | Discover Magazine, watch the Mythbusters episode "NASA Moon Landing", or if you're really brave, tell Buzz Aldren that he's a liar to his face.

That and the fact the equipment and flag are on the moons surface right at the moment! Albiet the flag is now "bleached" due to the radiation.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Nope, that's all okay.

If I remember correctly, the shadows are because of some lumps in the ground that were invisible in the pictures, and the flag floated because of the rotation in zero-grav...

The MythBusters explained it better. lol

Better Still, the myth busters experiment can be recreated over and over if a person wants proof first hand.
