What next, a poll on whether people believe the Earth is actually flat?

No, a poll to see who thinks there really WERE WMDs.

Polls.........Why not have a poll to see if the Law of Gravity should be repealed?

Seriously, do you think the government could've kept this a secret for sooo long?
They couldn't even keep a bungled burglury attempt at the Watergate Hotel a secret.
And yeah, what about the Soviets? They were lickin their chops at the prospect of debunking NASA's work any way they could. So millions of Soviets and others, and probably thousands of engineers and contractors never spoke up, after 37 years? Wow, that in itself would be a far more amazing accomplishment than sending, essentially a tin can riding on an explosion to earth's neighbor.
The technology and accomplishment of the Apollo program, though amazing, isn't the pinnacle of human technological achievement. I think a nuclear submarine is about 100 times more difficult to design, build, and maintain than a Saturn V. But there's no posts about debunking the Navy's Los Angeles class submarine program.

And Buzz Aldrin can kick your ass!

There is no government.

New Poll.. was the US revolution faked by the British? 98% of those who believe the moon landing was faked also believe the US revolution was faked as well.

We can bounce a laser beam off the reflector still!

How much more proof do people need?

Until I saw this video, I was very skeptical of it being a hoax--I thought only a 5% chance of it. After I saw this video, I'm 80% sure it was a hoax.



I have a really nice bridge going cheap.

Running is a series of short jumps. In low gravity, you move in a series of short jumps when on a planetary surface. So THEY WERE RUNNING on the moon because walking was just right out.


Also your centre of gravity would be different, and carrying a heavy backpack wouldn't help.

Questions have been asked why all the pictures are so clear and in focus, simple why bother publishing out of focus blurry pictures??

The book Moondust has good interviews with the moonwalkers, and gives you an look at the men themselves.

The answer to why didn't they continue, it was costing 5% of the GDP of the USA.

I'll quote what I said in an earlier post on this thread:

Previously I only gave the hoax theories 5% credence, after they couldn't find the tapes I gave the theories 12% credence, and after I saw the documentary it went to 75% and then back down to 25% after I saw the explanations.

Yes, I can flip-flop pretty easily, but it's based on when I receive new pieces of information (and not like Kerry who flip-flops based off trying to look good to the constituents he's currently speaking with).

Now, after a lot more researching, I'm back down to thinking it is only a 10% chance that it's a hoax.

Plus Nasa locked itself into the Shuttle Program, which cannot take man to the Moon, Mars or anywhere else, but has been able to bleed the agency dry of funds for decades.

Just hope ESA will never go down a similar route. ;)

Heh, you would think with all the technology we have, that someone somewhere would have a telescope or satellite capable of taking up-to-date pics of the moon to show the stuff left behind.

Only problem is there's always someone saying "Its Photoshoped!!!"

Nobody walked on the moon. They sort of had to hop around because the gravity was so low. Plus there was the little buggie thingie. :p

Hmmm, given this new evidence, I'm thinking it is only a 10% chance that it's a hoax. :p
