So the moon landing was faked!

[=XDC=FluphyBunny]

It happened, get over it


Fact is is would happen again if we had another arms race/cold war as that was the driving factor. Without it, its just too expensive to do something that's already been done.

There are some serious nut jobs on these forums though

I think the reptilians have a breeding factory on the dark side of the moon. The reason that we didn't go back is because Nasa ran into them back when we had the original landings and we was told never to go back. They will soon finish taking over our species the elites are already all reptilians.

I've read a lot of the consiparcy theories about the fake landings, none to me, are compelling proof that it didn't happen.

It was extraordinary that we managed, but the technology was there, we didn't need high end hi-tech, it was basically a rocket, with lots of discreet electronics.

Sure, it seems implausible owing to lack of future attempts or lack of interest - but whilst I don't find the evidence against the landings compelling enough, it is a shame that there weren't more visits. However look at the space shuttles and how many times it's been in and out of the atmosphere - with "old" technology. Sure compared to now 1969 wasn't very advanced, but remember those where pioneering times. The advancements in technology over the last 100 years have been non linear. You've got 3rd world nations now sending satellites up - it's not really a big deal now.

To me it seems dumb faking it - but I can't be too dismissive of those who don't want to believe as it takes resilience and conviction to hold onto your beliefs, and dare I say it, a little faith.

Everything I would have wanted to say! Was just typing a response along these lines.

End of the day its entirely possible that they did fake them but I believe the landings were real.

How? How do you fake low mavity. These can't be faked.

 

[MOOGLEYS]

The moon landing was tracked by other agencies and country's using telescopes and radar. There are even recordings of the radio transmissions received from the moon that were intercepted.

1000's of people were involved worldwide in the Apollo missions not just a few in a locked room in America.

If you look into the logistics involved, the amount of people involved there is not much hope of any fakery taking place.

Next it will be the "Titanic never sank" theory being brought up again....

I don't possibly believe they did Glaucus.

Im just of the opinion that anythings possible if you know what I mean. I wouldn't put it beyond our governments to stage things to gain rateings.

I would not know how they did that and as I said I don't personally believe they didn't go to the moon lol so I don't subscribe to none of that nonsense.

I find it fascinating that we did it and wish we could go back!

 

[ScarySquirrel]

Surely this is enough proof?

[DreadNiK]

...but there is undeniably inconceivable evidence for both sides of the argument...

I don't think that word means what you think it means

In your opinion possible? Then explain how the videos show low grab and how you switch to low grab on earth, even things like slowing down video footage can not recreate low g environment. Or did they have such good cgi that I couldn't be recreated for decades by film industries.
The walking, the dust, the way the buggy handled, what's his name throwing the rock hammer. There's is loads showing the low g environment.
Let alone all the collaborating evidence like ham radio tracking, experiments left on moon, satelite images of landing sites, couple with no evidence it didnt happen.

This is why Freefaller is so admired and respected on this forum and dare I say it, a real man of honour.

LolCTnuts.

The is actually a very simple way of debunking any moon landing conspiracy nonsense, its called logic.

We are talking here about the biggest one upping competition in the history of the human race, the highest profile race to do something in history. There is no chance, whatsoever, that the USSR would not have exposed the USA for faking it, none whatsoever.

A lot of people forget that not only did the USA go to the moon multiple times, but the USSR went too, however after Armstrongs foot touched down the race was over so the USSR sent mechanized rovers to return TV footage and take soil/rock samples (a machine can do anything on the moon better than a human except wave at a camera). They would have known if the Americans had faked it.

Yes the is the possibility that the USA could have sent robots with boots to make some footprints, but seriously, given the chances of that going wrong and becoming the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to any government ever, would they have tried it?

Logic > CT nuts

Preaching to the crowd here man, I am only of the opinion that it was possible I never said I believed it. As I said before I believe we did go there.

I didn't realise that there were so many nutters on here. Flat Earth Society is this way - http://theflatearthsociety.org

Thanks for the link. Here's me, meandering through life for all these years thinking that I was living on an oblate spheroid, when in fact I'm living on a flat disc. Silly me. Doh !

You're missing the point, you're saying its possible, how is it possible to recreate low g on earth?, it simply isn't possible at all.

Correct. The only way you could reduce mavity is to reduce mass. A lot of mass !

 

[bloodiedathame]

You can see the footprints and lunar rover with the right telescope. Could have been put there after a hoax but why bother? Haters gonna hate.

I wouldn't know I am just open minded to the idea that nothing is impossible. Just because we don't know how to do it doesn't mean someone else is not capable of doing such a thing.

Either way I don't believe they were faked lol go argue with someone else im not even disagreeing with you!! and its way to early >_>

 

[mrk]

Common sense, not much of it in this thread.

 

[Sliver]

You shouldn't be so open minded that your brain falls out ! Please employ some reasonable skeptisism in your thinking. It's self evident that there are a great many things that are impossible.
