while the 'evidence' that man did not go to the moon is pretty weak overall, one thing that I'm surprised doesn't get mentioned more often is that in the 60s many was able to make to the moon within 10 years of setting the goal, while now NASA seems completely incapable of doing that. Even with all the politics and bulls**t out of the way, it just doesn't seem that NASA would be able to achieve that any more.
jaimequin, wat?The escape velocity on the moon is 2400 m/s. Fastest ball thrown is about 100 miles/hour = 45m/s.So no, you could not throw a ball into deep space or even get it to significantly orbit.
Arguing with these guys is like arguing with a creationist. They have their mind made up, and any new evidence to the contrary will be rejected out of hand. In fact, the psychological makeup of both is likely to be quite similar.Its really our failing as a species.
"Q: "Why doesn't water run off the Earth?"A1: In the general model, there is a vast ice wall that keeps the water where it is. The ice wall is roughly 150ft high. This also explains why you can find a vast plane of ice when you travel south. Antarctica as a continent does not exist.". . .
