I wasn't sure where to put this but here it goes:
I do not believe that the moon landings were fake. I challenge anyone to bring forth 'proof' that it never happened and i will explain it, or provide other proof that we did land on the moon.
I will start off with the following: due to the size of the project and the number of people involved, the money that would be required to keep people shut up would be astronomical. Even the US would not be able to afford to it.
No arguments here. People who assume the moon landings were faked are devoid of any astrophysical knowledge, historical context and basic cognitive ability. In short, they're idiots. And not just any idiots; Napoleon Dynamite style idiots.
Watch the mocumentary called Dark Side of the Moon, dgthe3. You'll love it.
the reason the moon landing pics look good and fake is because they are fake. The us gov't wanted the moon landing to look good so they had kubrick do all the shots ( he owed the pentagon and the white house for letting him go deep inside pentagon's war room for the movie dr.stangelove). Thats why there were cameras on the saturn 5 rockets... Even the rockets were modified to make everything look more futuristic.
I personally believe neil set foot on the moon, we just didn't really see him do that just some cia agent who was told never ever say anything.
it was on cbc some while back. really really interesting
That's from that mocumentary I mentioned, Gerry. It was all done perfectly straight, but if you would have paid attention to the woman who introduced it and did the little bit at the end, you would have found that whole thing was a send-up.
It's called Dark Side of the Moon and I recommend that everybody see it. Just keep in mind that it is satire.
Can you blame then for trying to make one of the biggest peaceful events in history look good? I will keep my eyes open for that film Rev
Hmm, so you all are saying this was a fake documentary meant as a joke, maybe making fun of the whole United States not landing on the moon thing?
In response to Jerry, I really don't think the cameras were fake, because I don't see why, if they really did land, they would need to, and also you would think the people who actually landed on the moon would notice if they were fake, and I don't see why all the people in Nasa, or the government for that matter, who were a part of the space program, would keep the lie going for so long. I think popular science had cleared up the whole camera issue.
Another thing, not to go to off of topic, but something I found interesting was this special they had on the history channel the other day about Area 51. Some guy(probably a con man)claiming he working on alien technology. More than likely the base at the area known as area 51 was working on the stealth bombers. Do any of you know if Canada has any secret bases like an area 51?
Johny, I don't think we have "Area 51's" persay, but who knows. All the Tim Hortons could be mini manufacturing places. Hell, we have 4 in my city of only like 35,000 people. Something has gotta be up....
They are hiding in plain sight.
I believe the moon landings were real. It would probably cost the same amount to fake it than do it.
4 Timmys for 35 000? That's nothing! 15 min away from where i live there is a town of 20 000 people, there are also 4 Tim Hortons.
As far as Canada having a top secret research/development/test facility for highly advanced military technology, who told you about that?!?!?!
Canada has no need for such a facility, we buy nearly all of our equipment and develop very little for ourselves. we do make improvements on the basic designs of equipment, but there is no need to mave a isolated, highly secure base to do that.
Also, we barely have enough money to give our troops training, food, ammo, and fuel for their planes and tanks, we wouldn't be able to afford a top secret base.
Have you guys checked this one out...
As far as the shadows appearing in different directions, hills cause that type of thing in broad daylight when there is only one light source, the sun. With multiple lights, you see multiple shadows.
And as far as not seeing stars and seeing the flag on the lander, that is explained by the fact that the moon is very reflective and there is no atmosphere to filter out any of the sunlight. As a result, the surface is very bright and you end up with a condition similar to light pollution, where the ambient light blocks out the faint star light. The reflective surface, combined with reflective paint on the flag on the lander could cause it to appear very bright compared to the rest of the lander.
Also, the movie 'Independance Day' had a scene showing the lander on the moon with stars in the background. Now, does that prove that it was filmed in space? You can see the stars and you cannot recreate that effect on Earth, right?
Those were the main arguments from that site, if i feel like it or if there are requests for specific proofs, i will provide more.
don't worry the moon landings did in fact happen.
I am actually anxious to see who starts to lay claim to the moon. NASA, Europe and Japan have all indicated plans to have human outposts on the moon.
The fact that they are talking about this kind of thing indicates to me that it is at least possible, and possibly indicate that the lunar landings did in fact happen. I don't think you would hear this kind of talk if it wasn't.
