Thread: Nova: To the Moon

Great episode of Nova talking about how we got to the moon and so on:



For those interested in facts.

The proof that they faked the moon missions is too clear.

Once people have seen it, no amount of sophistry will make them think they really went.

We really did go,and no amount of whining and lying by you will change that....And you offer no 'proof', only your mistaken opinion.

Just a long list of errors and baseless assertions, my friend. Do you feel you're smarter than the average bear by believing a commonly accepted truth to be a big hoax?

Fun fact:

Very late in the show (about 1h 52m), you can see video taken aboard Apollo 17 as it was blasting off from the moon, showing the landing site.

You can pause it and compare it to the much newer LRO image:

Here's a frame I've grabbed from the video:

You seem to have the attitude that this proves something. It would have been very easy to make the LRO photo match the Apollo photo.

Ahhh, the conspiratard conundrum. The government is incompetent in pulling off conspiracies because conspiracy nuts "find" all kinds of "flaws" where the government supposedly screwed up, yet the conspiracy nuts also claim the government is absolutely perfect when it comes to "faking" evidence conspiracy nuts can't refute. How convenient and utterly transparent.

When are you going to actually get around to addressing claims you've made and run away from? Are you afraid it will somehow hurt your credibility when people find out you can't back your crap up? I wouldn't worry. Not sure you can lose something you never had.

Le sigh.

We both know that there is no evidence in the world good enough for you to change your mind about this. You're convinced of a hoax, no matter how flawed & silly your so-called evidence for it is. I was once dopy enough to believe that Apollo was a hoax, actually. I just didn't stick with it once people presented the reams of evidence in favor of the missions. Those missions being a hoax is a very implausible scenario to begin with, and then add in the mountains of evidence against that scenario to boot, and no reasonable mind can maintain such a belief.

It's one of the few beliefs that are even more absurd than youth earth creationism, and both are defended in the same basic manner: Through denial and attacking the evidence against them in a purely biased fashion.

It would be hard enough to fake just one mission. Why would the government do it time and time again, at great expense and with each mission running the risk of exposing the whole conspiracy? You're absolutely right though. God himself could come down, take Scott to the moon, show him that we were there, and Scott would still deny everything.
