Anyone else think the moon landing was a fake?

And some guy who sees a conspiracy behind every tree and posts about them constantly is more reliable?

 

from the page that I linked to previously about passing through the Van Allen Belt and the moon landing..

"This is an especially interesting question, though maybe more about psychology and epistemology than about astronomy or physics. Nevertheless, the same question comes up again and again, in one form or another, so it really is very important.
It has a number of possible answers:

1. The Apollo spacecraft passed through the Van Allen belt quite quickly, so that in the short time they were exposed, the astronauts did not receive a dose of radiation considered dangerous, at least not compared to the inevitable other risks in the mission. This is the straightforward, scientific answer. It is correct, to the best of my knowledge and belief.
2. It has to be possible to go to the Moon, because we who are old enough all saw them on TV; a million of us (me included, for Apollo 11) saw the actual launch; a few of us (me included, for Apollo 8) saw the Trans-Lunar Injection burn, from low-Earth orbit to trans-lunar trajectory in the dark sky over Hawaii; and how could anyone fake all that?! This is a simple common-sense answer. Also correct, I think.
3. There was a monstrous government conspiracy, and the whole thing was faked. I am part of that conspiracy, so you cannot trust my answer. I know for a fact this one is false -- but how can you know that?!
4. There was a monstrous conspiracy, and the whole thing was faked. I was deceived too, so you cannot trust my answer. I am as sure as I think one can reasonably be about anything that this one is false, but of course how could I possibly be absolutely certain, in principle?
5. You can't know anything for sure that you have not completely verified yourself, all you can do is take the word of people you trust. So who do you trust? There is a lot of truth in this one, especially in principle. In practice, we can usually do quite a bit better, especially in the sciences; but the issue is not silly or unimportant, even so. The head of the government of South Africa, for example, is in serious doubt about whether the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV, causes AIDS, because he is (probably sincerely, I guess) in doubt about whom to trust; although there seems to be no serious scientific controversy about the issue. Millions of lives could be at stake as a result."

I hope this helps point out how astronomically ignorant and ill-informed YOU are about this shit.

Maybe if you ACTUALLY tried to really EDUCATE yourself instead of jumping on whatever the conspiracy of the day is without so much as an iota of logic or rational thought you could also see the blatant and glaring problem you idiots have when you take into consideration the MILLIONS of eye witness's to the launch.

Hell I remember my dad checking this shit out with his telescope, 18" refracting with motor to track and cameras , etc, not some toy store piece.

So seriously, how do you jokers account for all the eye witness accounts such as in bold above?
Are all those people also in on the conspiracy?


Honestly dude111, you really need to take a rational look at all this shit you claim to believe.
Either that or your just another troll.
I am tending to lean towards you being a troll.
That is much more plausible than anyone believing all the ridiculous shit you post about.

 

Come on NG, refractors are for kids

 

Long before the moon landing was faked, NASA sent unmanned probes to the moon which crash landed on the surface. Anything which currently lies on the moon surface can easily be explained away

Like my beach house.

 

I see.
So instead of reflectors positioned precisely so that we can bounce a laser off it your saying that what it really is some piece of space junk that just happened to land on the moon's surface and then by chance someone spotted it, noticed it was reflective, got the exact coordinates of this shiny piece of lunar shrapnel so we could bounce lasers off it to confirm the the moon landing which of course was faked and all that is really there is a bunch of junk that fell into the perfect positions and coordinates to make that possible and it all happened randomly and by chance.


Sure, makes complete logical sense to me.,

 

A healthy dose of cynicism is always a good thing but yes, that’s precisely what happened.

I think its amazing the amount of ppl WHO BLINDLY BELIEVE NASA with nothing more than PICTURES which can be faked,etc.........

 

Oh, really? So you are implying that NASA has a long history of lying to the public? Really? Can you give one example of that, other than what you are ranting about?

 

Experts believe the latest images of the Face on Mars have been deliberately photo-shopped by NASA to cover up the existence of early human habitation on the red planet.

This image taken back in the 1970s is untouched.

I think it's fake, always have. But why fake such a thing.

 

and the doctored photo for a side-by-side comparison?

also, why did they only start photoshopping now? and does this photoshopping constitute more than just adjusting the contrast/ light levels? also, as this is an asteroid crater, when the light from the sun hits it from any other angle presumably it won't look so much like a face anyway, so unless the recent photo was taken at the same time of day, i would have thought that, at most you'd just see a vague rock formation, not the face.....statue...?

must say, i don't know why they bothered, for that random rock formation to even resemble a face is a slight stretch, but that nothing compared to the leap from that to believing it to be proof of intelligent life on mars...

 

Let me guess:

The ancient egyptions, after receiving alien help to build their pyramid-energy-generators, used the pyramids to power expeditions to mars, where they still live under the guidance of aman-ra.

 

I think its amazing the amount of people who blindly believe any old conspiracy nut on the Internet with nothing more than unsubstantiated claims that pictures have been faked,etc.........

 

But dude, people in mexico made pyramids, and drew pictures of round things and guys with funny hats, and people in egypt made pyramids, and drew pictures of round things and people with funny hats.... Are you seeing the connection?

That's right, they all flew around in space-ships, but at the same time, thousands of years later there's no way NASA could possibly fly people in a space-ship, today's shoddy tech can't possibly take the van-allen belts, all their heads would blow up.

It's even on the history channel!!! Good god, man, WAKE UP :willy_nilly:

 

How did you know? Are you not scared? They will kill you for providing this information.

 

Here's the latest examples of NASA's handiwork





Hotwater

 

What did they do to my scuplture!?

 

same area, different time of day=different lighting/shadows=different look

Hotwater I always thought you to be relatively intelligent.....

guess I was wrong....
