Moon landing. Real or Fake?

Of course it was fake. Americans can't do anything but be evil.

And make blue jeans.

Which are evil!

Everyone knows the Soviet Union was just an old wives (evil old American wives) tale, told to (evil American) children to scare them into being good (err, I mean, evil).

"Eat your vegetables, or the mean old Soviets will come and throw you into a gulag!"

If I understand your question, it's "why haven't we gone back to the moon"?

I think the answer is because aside from the acomplishment, political context and initial milestone of landing on something extraterestrial, there's not likely much to be gained from walking on the moon again. It's easy to get a tee time, but aside from that, it's of limited scientific value at this point, I think.

Many, many more facinating things going on with space exploration these days, unless of course one choses not to believe that either.

No scientific value perhaps. But if NASA's only objective is science and knowing, I hope someone else gets somewhere soon with a better agenda like population shifting

All those desolate, resource barren planets look like a thing of the future, not the past to me. Since we're heading to the stars on this planet whats to say we didn't get here the same way however long ago with a different, more lethal method so we could not communicate the facts??

And Australians. I don't particularly believe it either. It's possible to fudge those IT systems to show "data" that proves something I can't prove.

Apparantly there is a belt of radiation that could not be successfully penetrated at the time, nor since.

All that said, I should look more into this I can only name 3 countries with space program - China, Russia, USA so I'm speculating.


Either way that video of the reporter getting busted up is shocking!

Granted the reporters approach was very poor and in your face and deserved the desire to belt him. But doing it within a few seconds of realising he means no physical harm AND is just talking at him is proof of the culture people worldwide have in the protection of their rights and space. And the support people who choose those actions get.

Was he charged for that assault?? Was there a ruling if he was? It looks like blatant assault to me going off that tape alone.

If the moon landing was fake, I'm pretty sure our bitter rivals (aka the Soviets) would've said something first. Instead they congratulated us. Who'da thunk?



I work as a tour guide at the Johnson Space Center. It's pretty funny when "the moon landing was FAKEEE OMG!!!111" people come through, because their arguments hold very little water.

Incorrect. There's plenty of reason to go back: http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/helium3_000630.html
