Poll: Do you believe we landed on the moon?

[ma55ter_fett]

We were on the moon. We left things up there, a couple of which are a few mirrored reflectors on the moon. We can bounce a laser array off those reflectors and get the laser back in real time. That is the final proof that will never be disproved. We have been to the moon.

yea, I heard about that from my old earth science teacher.

I see no reason to disbelieve it, I've seen the shuttles launching and shit.

Also if it was a conspiracy I don't think that the Russians would play along with it or any other country for that matter.

MOON LANDING FOOTAGE WAS FILMED IN A STUDIO ON MARS


Edit: YOUR ALL SHEEP FOR BELEVIN OTHERWISE

Of course we went there. No one's been back since because the aliens came out of their secret base & told us never to come back. DUH!


The trouble is that lies are most believable when they're wrapped in half-truths.

(Sorry for the following long post. There's just sooooo much that can be said to these ignorant people.)

I clicked on that moondoggle link. His arguments sound pretty persuasive... if you're ignorant about the details of what he's talking about. If you do know the details, he can be quite laughable. I found his photograph & light arguments the most amusing.

-Yes, NASA sent astronauts to the moon with cameras with tiny controls that can't be operated very well while wearing gloves.

-Yes, follow his suggestion. Take a manually focused camera out for ONE day & guess the lighting & focus settings while keeping it at your chest. Compare the quality of your pictures to the quality of the astronauts' pictures. Nevermind the fact the astronauts spent MONTHS practicing on Earth ahead of time. They were friggin' experts with those cameras by the time they got there. Oh, and we're assuming there were no light meters in their cameras too.

-Yes, because the moon has no atmosphere, there can be absolutely no light in the shadows. It's pitch black. There's no way the rough ground could scatter & reflect light back towards the source. Apparently, he's never shone a light on a wall in a pitch black room & been able to see other things because light bounced off the wall, onto another surface, and then towards his eyes. (Indirect illumination) Oh wait, I forgot. That happens because of our air.

His most plausible argument is how did they fit all that equipment into such a small capsule, but that's only because the average person has no idea how big the needed equipment is, or even what was needed. He also seems more credible by saying "I don't really care about the flag, or this or that. Those are minor compared to the real evidence, which I will now share."

Speaking of the flag, I figured out on my own why the flag waved in no atmosphere when I was a teenager. That was before I'd even heard the conspiracy theory. It's called inertia people!

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.

Exactly. Who believes every space walk ever done was faked? I don't think those space suites were properly lead lined.

Note: Chinese under water space walks and model rocket launches don't count. In fact, those were so poorly done it makes me wonder if that whole thing was just an internet prank. I couldn't find any sites from credible news organizations saying anything about it.

If you believe,
They've put a
man on the moon,
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.

WAAA CONSPIARCY!!11

Your post would be almost considered a non-stupid one, if not for one small error:

That's not my government. I'm not from the Western Hemisphere.

95% of the conspiracy bullcrap is false, and only morons with low-paid jobs believe it. Oh, and you.

 

[ssgt splatter]

Uh...YES! How is it that some people still believe this S***!

 

[Bilbo536]

The Mythbusters did an episode disproving conspiracy theories about the pictures and stuff, and that we probably have been there. Mythbusters are never wrong. Ever.

oh and stop believeing shit you read on the internet, it just makes you look like a gullible muppet. hang on,

http://www.666ismoney.com/HolocaustAds.html (i think they are saying the holocaust didn't happen, i decided that this site was genetically retarded (much like this thread) and didn't read far enough into it to be sure)
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&rlz=1R2TSEE_enGB346&q=darwin+was+wrong&meta=&aq=0&oq=darwin+was+ (and a google list of people saying darwin was wrong. i give up on the internet.)

Dude the best one is a group who believe the moon is a conspiracy. Seriously, not the landings the whole moon. Just google 'moon doesn't exist'. It really makes you wonder about the mental state of some people.

 

[BaldursBananaSoap]

It was not fake and here is the counter-argument with evidence for every argument that said we didn't go to the moon.

[Hamster at Dawn]

But the flag! The flag was waving!

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Also, at the time we were fighting a cold war with russia. Russia had very good tracking capabilities and intercepted every single transmission sent by those spacecrafts. They also had a vested interest in making us look bad.

If it was fake, they would have known it, and would have called us on it, big time.

I've never looked at it quite like that, but I think that is going to be my new favorite line when debunking the conspiracy nuts! haha... awesome.

You can use the same logic for the Roswell incident, and UFO coverups.

If aliens were approaching earth, we would have built defenses to protect ourselves from interstellar incursion.

We only built defenses against Russian bombers and missiles.

There are no alien visitors.

You have constructed a straw man argument here. Worse still, your entire statement is based around a poor statement - you assume that we could detect aliens approaching the earth.

 

[Good morning blues]

Every piece of evidence that deniers point to that supposedly proves that we have not been to the moon is quickly and easily debunked. I have not seen any credible evidence that we have not been to the moon, and a lot of credible evidence that we have.

 

[Floppertje]

Yes, we've been to the moon.
Why would they fake it? I suppose you could say 'because the government wants people to think they're awesome.' but we're talking about america in 1969 here, people already thought the government was awesome.
besides, if they really wanted to be found awesome, they could've just lowered the taxes...

Oh, ye with little sense and smaller mind. Hear me when I say that I wasn't talking about western hemisphere government, I meant ALL government. Did u see my tag? I digress, the status of one financially has nothing to do with what they do or dont believe, take yourself for example. You just assumed I was talking about western governments, when really all governments are the same. They all feed us bs to keep us compliant and under their will. They all lie, cheat, and kill to get ahead. It is just how government is. And, how do you KNOW that 95% of conspriracy is bs? Just because YOU don't believe it, doesn't mean that it is wrong. No one has ever, without a doubt proved a conspiracy (at least the ones I believe) wrong. Show me undeniable proof that a chosen conspiracy is wrong, and I will agree. However, that is going to be rediculously hard, considering conspiracies are scrutinized very heavily as it is. You, sir, are unable to accept that I have a different belief system than you, and thus will insult me on this message board, in order to impress your "internet friends". Why the hell you would do that is beyond me, but I bid you good day.

 

[jpoon]

I would like to think that they were all real. It is entirely possible that some of it was faked but I do believe we've been to the moon.

Sidenote: Global warming is a lie!

 

[Debatra]

The Mythbusters proved we landed on the moon. There's man-made technology up there.
