I'm a bit concerned that we haven't been making regular trips up there. Really, by now, we should have a space station up on the moon. But NASA got cold feet after Challenger and have been relegated to a glorified taxi service ever since.

If we're ever going to actually start a manned exploration of space, then putting a space station on the moon has to be a goal. And at this stage, I don't think that it's a logistical impossibility.
As long as we can mine for helium-3, (and harvest all that water) we could colonize the moon, though it would need to be underground to protect against radiation...

Yes, because only Americans would be silly enough to spend billions to conquer a big rock first.

[HEADING=1]Actual photographs of various Apollo landing sites[/HEADING]

Apollo 14


Apollo 11


Apollo 17


Taken by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter [http://lunar.gsfc.nasa.gov/mission.html] this past April, which captured some of the highest-resolution photos of the Lunar Surface taken to date.

There's actually a lot more images, of both the landing sites and other features on the Moon. Google LRO Lunar images if you're curious.

I think the images speak for themselves.

Also, sorry for no spoiler tags, but I think this is something everyone should see.

Actually, they built it first.
Then destroying previous documents and making up new fake ones, they made the whole world believe that it's been there all along.

I agree he was right about micro evolution, but in his famous work he said that life spontaneously came into being. His proof, a piece of meat would start growing mold even in a sealed room. Bacteria and stuff like that weren't known at the time.

So the whole macro evolution theory has a gap in it.

(prepares flame shield just in case D:)
who was it put up that thread about why atheists were disliked? i mentioned that atheists seem almost as zealous as true believers sometimes, like now for example!

HERETIC!!!!!!! ;-)

Yes but if we didn't it would be like the Seinfeld line:

We never should have landed a man on the moon. It's a mistake. Now everything is compared to that one accomplishment. I can't believe they could land a man on the moon . . . and taste my coffee! I think we all would have been a lot happier if they hadn't landed a man on the moon. Then we'd go, They can't make a prescription bottle top that's easy to open? I'm not surprised they couldn't land a man on the moon. Things make perfect sense to me now. Neil Armstrong should have said, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for every, complaining, sob on the face of the earth.

We did not land on the moon when we said we did. That one was faked in order to be "one-up" on the russians. However, we have landed on the moon since then. So, only the first landing was a fake.

But, then again...the illuminati (or whatever they call themselves now. Reguradless, it's a shadow "government") control the entire planet, so it's all worthless in relativity anyway.

They've put a

Man on the moon!

Yeah, and I hope people who say "no" won't even have an offspring.
Funny, the offspring thing is the same thing I was thinking for those of you stupid enough to believe everything the government and the sensationalist media tell you to believe. They all work for the same cause...to keep us from the truth. Compliancy IS ALL that they want. Once we're compliant, they can do whatever the hell they want.

Of course they went there, it's been proven... Conspiracy theories are fun and all, but incredibly stupid.
Indeed, they are.

the mythbusters even proved we landed on the moon just to youtube or discovery ch to find the episode
A lot of people on the Internet don't know how to search for things, I'm afraid. It seems only something like 20% of people have even heard of Google sometimes.

you are there now, but not necessarily the first time in 1969. im not saying they did fake it, but it is possible
*readies flame shield*
Flame shield isn't neccicary for me. The problem is, though, that conspiracy theorists take that, apply MASSIVE ammounts of logical fallacy, 'you fail physics forever' and god-knows how much else and uses it to make a big, massive lie or series of lies to support their 'theory'.

It's obvious that we were there, of course. After all, we did leave retroreflectors and other things up there.

I'm firmly in the 'the moon landings were not faked' camp; solidified further by the Mythbusters episode that disproved every major point in the C.T. arguments that it was faked. It was a moment of epic win for all of the Mythbusters crew.

Oh for...
They're on The Escapist too.

Look, the government is not a masterfully intelligent and malicious entity.
They are in fact incompetent but well-intentioned... sort of.

Fact of the matter is, anyone else is just as bad as the govornment themselves, just in different ways or for different reasons. Don't even get me started on how I feel about the human race in general, seriousely.

If they were fake don't you think the Russians would have scrutinized the video and said something? After all they were trying to get there first.

And yes the Russians put the first man(cosmonaut) in space, Yuri Gragarin or something like that.
This is actually a good point. Back then, there was a pretty heated tension between Russia and America. If they faked something, Russia would have called them out on it for sure, anyway.

And yet this whole debate STILL goes on even today...

They did, they just weren't on the moon first. There is a difference.

No, in order to survive the radiation levels of space you would need to have the spacesuits be lined with about six feet of lead.

Yes, we landed on the moon. There is a lot of evidence to debunk the conspiracy theories, like others have mentioned. And for those who do believe the moon landings were faked, I suggest you talk with Buzz Aldrin.

Actually it may not be a hobby. Mostly.

I forget where I heard it, but generally, conspiracy theorists have other underlying mental problems. Not sure what they could be, but Paranoia would be an obvious one. So it's generally not totally their fault.

Doesn't make them any less of a wall banger [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WallBanger], though.

Watch the moon landing Mythbusters episode.

Edit: Aww, you changed the poll after I voted.
Exactly. The mythbusters do not lie.
