man on the moon? or not...?

kaleidoscope · 23rd September 2004, 11:30 AM

In philosophy we are studying scepticism. something that i did not know alot about. we then studied the sceptics point of view on man on the moon... which is that there never was a man on the moon at all, and all the footage is just staged.

we googled it, and i got

www.ufos-aliens.co.uk/cosmicapollo.html

its kinda convinced me a bit.

because i never thought about it at all,

just accepted it like we accept so much of what people just tell us.

its made me feel a bit dizzy.

A few months ago there was this thread.

Some excellent links.

yeah someone go find that, I thoroughly enjoyed the link that completely disproved every single piece of conspiracy "evidence" out there.

That's the one I was thinking of.

What a long article! A well put forward arguement but for lots of his points about how things would have failed - I'm sure if NASA were spending all this money they'd research into things propperly, like the Rover buggy thing.

The only point the sceptics, or loonies as they are normally known, have made that Ive never seen explained away properly is that of Cosmic Radiation. The fact most of the conspiracy sites about the moon landing also resort to blaming it all on the giant worldwide masonic conspiracy kind of make me ignore them though.

one site i saw made you really think its was a fake, then at the bottom it said it was a joke and that none of it is true then went to explain why it was fake. . .

hmm i wonder if the sky is just a big painting ???
what if planes were really some kind of teletranspoter devices ??
theres loads of what ifs , but if you spend to long thinking what if? then youll miss out on all the fun bits in life

The same link I posted last time

http://www.redzero.demon.co.uk/moonhoax/

Anyone who believe it was faked please post your address and I'll come round and knee-cap you.

EDIT: Also did you know Buzz Aldrin once knocked a reporter out for suggesting the moon landings were faked?

Question: How can an astronaut cast a shadow several feet taller than his colleague who is standing a few feet away from him?

I assume this is because the ground is sloped as the moon is not a perfect sphere

Question: Tell me what you think about me?

I buy my own diamonds and I buy my own rings

Question: if two trains leave the same station travelling in oposite direction, the train heading north is doing 60 mph and the train heading south is doing 50 mph, if the first train stops for 5 minutes out of a toal journey time of 2 hours and the the second train doesnt stop at all, my question therefore is .... why is cheese so expensive these days ?

My favourite bit is how an astronaut asked NASA if he should point the camera at the sun...........

WHEN THE MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS QUITE CLEARLY INSTRUCTED THEM NOT TO!!!!!

One can imagine that going to the moon you'd have more pressing thinsg to do than read the manual for your camera.
In fact. who the fuck reads it anyway?
