Neil Armstrong, 1st man on the moon dies

[MrPrez]

And with that, the hoax will never be confirmed. Gah humbug.

Now we are one man short of knowing whether the moon landings were true or the biggest hoax of all times. Condolences.

And with that, the hoax will never be confirmed. Gah humbug.

 

[Spikey]

if they went to the moon once how come they never went back??????????????????????

 

[silentstriker]

I know spikey is just kidding but it's crazy that a non-negligible number of people think it was a hoax.

You'd think the soviets might have made some noises about it being fake.

 

[Ruckus]

Na they were in on it too. It goes way beyond the US...the whole cold war was just a set up...it was just a smoke screen to disguise the activities of both the US and Soviet Union working together in forging a World Government...one where the space industry could be monopolised and used to launch spy satellites to monitor the activity of the mountain people. i'm scared and I don't know where my Aloperidin is.

Kind of reminds of me how people claim NASA is sitting on proof of aliens or whatever. NASA would be the FIRST agency to release all evidence - it would instantly solve all their budget problems if they found proof of extraterrestrial life.

 

[Ruckus]

But they want to be the only one's who can 'probe' the aliens in search of superior intelligence. Personally think they've already cross-bred humans with them...the result being this guy

If we ever get to a point where we are living again on a planet where no man has walked on the moon, I'm going to be pissed. It's being present for the beginning of the dark ages.

Is there much to be gained from going back to the moon, though? I definitely agree with the sentiment, but I'd imagine there'd be more to gain from a scientific point of view from sending a man to Mars, for example.

 

[Spikey]

you can go to the moon on the way to mars!

 

[Adamc]

People stopped going to the moon because it doesn't make you famous anymore. "Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin...who else?"

Not sold on Mars either, go to Saturn or something.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

A nice picnic on the Moon and then get to Mars in time for Dinner.

When I was a kid I used to wonder why they didn't make a giant refrigerator and send people in it to the sun.

 

[Ruckus]

might be possible if this movie was factually accurate Indiana Jones: Crystal Skull- Nuke the Fridge - YouTube

Damn, Neil dead, Lance stripped off his titles. Not a good week to be Armstrong.

Yea, Mars would be perfectly fine.

Mythbusters did a whole episode on the points raised by conspiracy theorists on the moon landing. The flutter of the flag, leaving of the footprint without water vapour, the lit astronaut in the shadow and the differently lined up shadows with only a single light source.

Did they bust the myth?
