Author Topic: Do You Think the Moon Landing was a Hoax? Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 10-05-2003 11:02 PM                        I have seen lots of reports and shows about the moon landing being a hoax. I carefully looked at each piece of evidence they presented. Looking at all of this information, I became even MORE convinced that we did indeed land on the moon. What do you believe? Why do others think it was a hoax? Is it just hard for them to believe we could accomplish such a feat? PS - Not sure if this should go in Yak or in Political Arena. Taking my chances in Yak first.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 10-05-2003 11:11 PM                     I think we did but there's alot of questions that the conspiracy theorists provide that are interesting, like why when the rocket landed, was there no disturbance under it (this is going by memory from the fox documentary a while back). Also, I think faking a moon landing by creating it on a soundstage or something similar, would have too many people involved, surely someone over the years would have broken silence.  |  IP: Logged Evans A Criswell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1579 From: Huntsville, AL, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 10-05-2003 11:27 PM                        I don't think it was a hoax.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 10-05-2003 11:58 PM                     I think anyone who believes that it was a hoax should go into the Some people are too gullible topic.

The whole moon landing was all done on a soundstage here at Fox in Hollywood. I have a friend who's mom knows a grip that was there and told her. She is an emergency-room nurse so I know it's all factual and reliable information. And Mike, while Wernherr may have been the father of modern rockets, he certainly was no brainiac. His best move was to replace the manual lighting of the fuse with a Zippo for remote electric ignition. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 10-06-2003 06:57 AM                        There is no question that we did land on the Moon. I have seen the Moon rocks that were brought back. Therefor it is true. I have a friend who is an emergency room doctor in Los Angeles and he told me that all the nurses on every shift have never been able to tell the truth. Imagine that.  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 10-06-2003 08:18 AM                     FWIW -- when I read "we" I also inferred "mankind" but -- since Michael is determined to take us through it -- I have to chime in and say that a lot of American vision, ingenuity and manpower went into the lunar landing. That cannot be understated. To date, the accomplishment of the USA in space exploration has not been topped -- or even matched, for that matter -- by any other country. But, as Neil Armstrong put it: "That's one small step for a man; one giant leap for mankind." And, since somebody mentioned Apollo 13, I think that mission is important as it demonstrates the scope of just how intelligent, flexible and well-prepared NASA was. If, as some have indeed suggested, the lunar landings were faked then why would they bother doing repeat visits? Why would they go to the trouble of doing it all over again? And why would they have chosen to "visit" other parts of the moon when they could've gotten away with reusing the same set? It doesn't make any sense. If the landings were faked then why go through the entire ordeal of bringing the Apollo 13 crew back alive? Capricorn One , anybody? Oh...and I suppose the Space Shuttle program is a fake, too? That technology doesn't just come out of thin air. It evolves. If the lunar landings did not happen then a lot of what we are witnessing today shouldn't be happening, either. Like the probes on Mars or the photos from Voyager and Hubble. I guess there are people who don't believe those photos are real, either. As someone suggested -- there would be far too many people with the "real story" to keep something like that a secret. I suppose all those nurses in emergency rooms were probably the same ones who pulled the gerbil out of Richard Gere's ass, right?  |  IP: Logged Greg Mueller Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1687 From: Port Gamble, WA Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-06-2003 09:43 AM                        "...like why when the rocket landed, was there no disturbance under it..." Actually there was, it just looks different in a no atmosphere situation. What we're used to seeing is a bunch of dust and debris being blown up into the "AIR" which then supports the dust and debris as it (relatively) slowly settles back to earth. Without the air to support it, the dust and debris drops like a rock back to the moon. People just aren't used to seeing it this way and mistake what they see. Have we been to the moon? You bet. I was there just the other day  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 10-06-2003 09:49 AM                    If it wasn't for the space missions of the 60's and early 70's you wouldn't have microwave ovens today. One reason you didn't see a lot of disturbance when the lander landed is because of lack of atmosphere on the moon. Why do people want to question these things? I am guessing these are the same people who claim that Andy Kauphman and Elvis are living together in some undisclosed location.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 10-06-2003 12:58 PM                        Kodak played a large role in paving the way for, and documenting, space exploration: http://www.kodak.com/US/en/government/ias/heritage/orbiter.shtml http://www.kodak.com/US/en/government/ias/heritage/apollo11.shtml http://www.kodak.com/US/en/government/ias/heritage/surveyor.shtml http://www.kodak.com/US/en/government/ias/heritage/rover.shtml http://www.kodak.com/US/en/government/ias/heritage/quickbird.shtml http://www.kodak.com/US/en/government/ias/heritage/ikonos.shtml Art Cosgrove, one of the lead engineers on the Kodak Lunar Orbiter program, is one of my co-workers.  |  IP: Logged
