Moon landings conspiracy theories

(ps don't look under the bed either)

-- that surely ain't just 'nother way of (not)saying, 'i merely have a mattress on me floor, me', no?
;)

LRO photographs the Apollo landing sites in detail. Moon conspiracy theorists please find something else to complain about

it's a shop

will cover any action from anybody who wants to bet that this will dissuade the conspiracy theorists

Oh, yes. It's all so clear now.

That white arrow looks awfully fake and photoshopped.

pretty good look at the hoaxers. my favorite part is still buzz aldrin punching that one guy. who sounds like a real winner:

In an interview, Mr. Sibrel said that his efforts to prove that men never walked on the Moon has cost him dearly. “I have suffered only persecution and financial loss,” he said. “I’ve lost visitation with my son. I’ve been expelled from churches. All because I believe the Moon landings are fraudulent.”

but i'm sure the timing and release of the new photos is just going to stoke the conspiracy theories more. not to mention this:

The original videos beamed to earth were stored on giant reels of tapes that each contained 15 minutes of video, along with 13 other channels of live data from the moon. In the 1970s and 1980s, NASA had a shortage of the tapes and erased about 200,000 of those tapes and reused them. That's apparently what happened to the famous moon landing footage.

and i don't pay enough attention to these people to know, but do they make similarly exhaustive efforts to explain away all the documentation of the subsequent moon shots? and was apollo 13 all a hoax too?

but what the hell, i guess if people can deny the holocaust, denying a moon landing is small potatoes.

Why would a church expel someone for disbelieving the moon landings? (XXpost)

(So he goes to church, because he believes something that is not true, but gets thrown out because he does not believe something that is true? Brane hurts.)

he probably got expelled for being a crazy dickhead -- which would explain everything else about him too.

We've probably all seen it but it really needs to be in this thread. Some good slow-mo replay in this one:

Of course Apollo 13 was a blatant hoax. Don't you think it was just a little suspicious that Tom Hanks, Ed Harris and Gary Sinise just happen to be astronauts AND actors?

I think "C rock" should be a thing meaning a piece of evidence that, in the mind of the arguer, is supposed to be some kind of smoking gun but in fact it could not be more clearly a false, ridic nonsensical conclusion that means nothing.
"But, but...the C rock!"

The ep of Bullshit abt Moon Landing Hoax People is great – the main guy arguing it is also constantly drinking homeless-priced vodka straight from the bottle during the interview.

Smokin the C rock amirite

completely off your Face (on Mars)

Blatantly a 'Shopped photo on the moon that one. I had a look with a telescope and could see no signs of white Arial writing on the surface.

I'm pretty sure also that the astronauts went poopie in their spacesuits, and not on the lunar surface.

Rudolph, the stone-nosed moonrock!

Okay well done there.

I saw this tonight:

Believe it or not, the guy presents a reading of The Shining--that it's Kubrick wrestling with his conscience over his role in the faked moon landing--that doesn't seem completely crazy. I say that as someone who is not even remotely conspiratorially minded. They had the director on a Skype hookup for a Q&A after the film, and towards the end he got onto some theory about a secret pedophile ring that controls Hollywood that did seem a little deranged to me, not to mention reckless when he started throwing around names. But The Shining stuff was pretty interesting. (Irony: they were able to fake the moon landing 40 years ago, but these guys couldn't get a picture on the screen for their Skype hookup.)

"Weidner produces devastating proof that the landing was shot in a studio on Earth."
--David Icke

faking the moon landing wd have been an audacious conspiracy, faking another 5 afterwards seems like taking the piss a bit
