- SEN5241, on 07/16/2009, -16/+164I like the one where they list the hoax and then tell you why it's not a hoax.
- smogger01, on 07/17/2009, -4/+128 -There is no Moon ...
- Soleanthia, on 07/16/2009, -1/+125Saw this and more on a Mythbusters episode.
- schnikies79, on 07/17/2009, -4/+98People really need to quit responding the moon-landing conspiracy nuts. They are not going to believe any amount of evidence you show them so it's just a waste of time. You could put them on the moon, show them the rover and they still wouldn't believe it.
It would be better just to pretend they didn't exist. Don't answer them and don't respond to them. - LiquidSpark, on 07/17/2009, -2/+90I love the pictures of the guys on the moon. It never gets old. It's incredible what these NASA guys did with just math and physics using just primitive computers.
- sunnybrick, on 07/17/2009, -33/+103It amazes me that so many allegedly "educated" people have fallen so quickly and so hard for a fraudulent fabrication of such laughable proportions. The very idea that a gigantic ball of rock happens to orbit our planet, showing itself in neat, four-week cycles -- with the same side facing us all the time -- is ludicrous. Furthermore, it is an insult to common sense and a damnable affront to intellectual honesty and integrity. That people actually believe it is evidence that the liberals have wrested the last vestiges of control of our public school system from decent, God-fearing Americans (as if any further evidence was needed! Daddy's Roommate? God Almighty!)
Documentaries such as Enemy of the State have accurately portrayed the elaborate, byzantine network of surveillance satellites that the liberals have sent into space to spy on law-abiding Americans. Equipped with technology developed by Handgun Control, Inc., these satellites have the ability to detect firearms from hundreds of kilometers up. That's right, neighbors .. the next time you're out in the backyard exercising your Second Amendment rights, the liberals will see it! These satellites are sensitive enough to tell the difference between a Colt .45 and a .38 Special! And when they detect you with a firearm, their computers cross-reference the address to figure out your name, and then an enormous database housed at Berkeley is updated with information about you.
Of course, this all works fine during the day, but what about at night? Even the liberals can't control the rotation of the Earth to prevent nightfall from setting in (only Joshua was able to ask for that particular favor!) That's where the "moon" comes in. Powered by nuclear reactors, the "moon" is nothing more than an enormous balloon, emitting trillions of candlepower of gun-revealing light. Piloted by key members of the liberal community, the "moon" is strategically moved across the country, pointing out those who dare to make use of their God-given rights at night!
Yes, I know this probably sounds paranoid and preposterous, but consider this. Despite what the revisionist historians tell you, there is no mention of the "moon" anywhere in literature or historical documents -- anywhere -- before 1950. That is when it was initially launched. When President Josef Kennedy, at the State of the Union address, proclaimed "We choose to go to the moon", he may as well have said "We choose to go to the weather balloon." The subsequent faking of a "moon" landing on national TV was the first step in a long history of the erosion of our constitutional rights by leftists in this country. No longer can we hide from our government when the sun goes down. - mehan, on 07/17/2009, -6/+68you're trying too hard.
- uglyteradon, on 07/17/2009, -4/+55I believe that Buzz Aldrin will punch anybody who tells him that it's fake right in the face...

Really, do you not know how to use a damned search engine? - Coven, on 07/17/2009, -1/+50and lots and lots of highly combustible materials :-D
- inactive, on 07/17/2009, -3/+50I still think it is a hoax.
I think they actually landed on Mars, then created a "Moon studio" on Mars and filmed it there. How else could the Yip Yips have gotten to Sesame Street in the late 1970s?
Wake up people, your government is fooling you again. - FritoPendejo, on 07/17/2009, -3/+48The explanation is that you don't know anything about film.

- ApokalypseNow, on 07/17/2009, -7/+48Yes, because break.com is the pinnacle of scientific research and peer reviewed studies excellence.

- odnaryperson, on 07/17/2009, -5/+45I did not read all that

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOo6aHSY8hU - borez, on 07/17/2009, -3/+42"My God, it's full of stars!" Arthur C. Clarke's 2001 character Dave Bowman famously exclaimed when faced with the vastness of space.
Wrong, he said it as he entered the monolith. - ApokalypseNow, on 07/17/2009, -1/+38Evidence is evidence - your inability to discern fact from fiction has no bearing on the facts themselves.
- NorrisOBE, on 07/17/2009, -1/+38But is there a space station?
- caseycoold, on 07/17/2009, -2/+37My orbital mechanics professor said about half of all PhD's in the world contributed something to the moon landing. Having seen the math they used, I know why.
- rwiggum, on 07/17/2009, -2/+35Dugg because there's no need for a /s on this one. Well done.
- ryanvo, on 07/17/2009, -3/+34I was a little kid back when the moon landings were happening. I can still vividly recall my bitter disappointment that Saturday morning cartoons were preempted. It damn well better not have been a hoax, given my sacrifices.
(Those were the golden days of decapitating anvils and sugared cereals, btw)
/old - inactive, on 07/17/2009, -1/+31I think this video should be required viewing in all public schools, if only to show children that, yes, baseless accusations DO have consequences, especially when those accusations are being thrown at an American hero.
- drallo, on 07/17/2009, -0/+29The only records Polar Bears have been breaking is since they were hunted the brink of extinction and hunting was outlawed in the 20th century.
They're still at a tiny fraction of their natural levels. - zydeco, on 07/17/2009, -2/+30They threw a MASSIVE amount of cash and manpower at the problem. Something we're not as willing to do today.
- strictnein, on 07/17/2009, -1/+29No.
- vargoose84, on 07/17/2009, -8/+35Iwow this is my first post on digg... look at me go...
I can't tell if you're being serious or not... but,
since you seem to be referencing the Bible... The "moon" is referenced around 51 times in the Bible. If you consider the Bible to be written more than 60 years ago, there's your proof the moon existed before 1950. - BoneheadFarker, on 07/17/2009, -1/+28According to at least 10 people (as of the moment of this post), there is a need...
- popzero, on 07/17/2009, -2/+29Fine, but I'm still waiting for the green cheese myth to be satisfactorily busted.
- MechaMurloc, on 07/17/2009, -1/+27The moon is actually just a room that is used by Ed Harris to watch me.
- eregorn, on 07/17/2009, -1/+25Yep. National Geographic is totally fake. They are well known as a yellow-journalism tabloid.
- MacParrot, on 07/17/2009, -2/+26I doubt the existence of CrazedLeper
- inactive, on 07/17/2009, -1/+25That NEVER gets old.
- MacParrot, on 07/17/2009, -3/+27You're both wrong. He said it when he went to the Oscars that year.
- phpslayer, on 07/17/2009, -0/+22My grandfather didn't believe the Moon landing was real and lectured me many times while growing up on the subject, remember the movie Capricorn One from the 70's? It was about the first manned mission to mars being faked by the government, he encouraged me to go see that film to drive the point home. My father said a lot of older people who grew up in the early 20th century just couldn't comprehend that we had sent people up there, and just refused to accept it.
- tyran, on 07/17/2009, -3/+24Anybody thinks that moon landing is a hoax is an idiot.... and most of them do not even know we went moon more than 5 times. but always argue that the first one is hoaxed. get the facts right idiots
- inactive, on 07/17/2009, -3/+23"how the hell did they do it 40 years ago?"
Fewer restrictions and we've spent the better part of the last 40 years gearing up and constructing facilities for Shuttle launches. They estimate it would take 10 years to either retool or build new facilities so we can go back to the moon, but that also takes into account that Shuttle missions wouldn't stop either. They don't have unlimited resources. Back in the sixties, it was basically NASA's only mission. NASA does a lot more now. - rocknog, on 07/17/2009, -5/+25Seems like lately, now that everyone knows about how the major arguments have been thoroughly debunked, they just run around shouting "It's the government, you can't trust them!" without bothering with any concrete details or anything.
- Phelyx, on 07/17/2009, -2/+21This reminds me of people who claim Evolution is "controversial." There's no controversy. Evolution is only controversial to people who don't have the mental capacity to understand it. We should collectively stop giving so much credibility to crackpot pseudoscience, and realize that they're simply the beliefs of mentally handicapped people. Yes, these people should get our sympathy and charity, but do we really need to debunk the guy on the street corner who claims that he's JFK's clone and that Bionic Jesus is trying to steal his kidneys?
- Bulk70, on 07/17/2009, -2/+20Sometimes its fun to read the article you're commenting on.
- akaakc, on 07/17/2009, -4/+22Ahahaha, that was awesome!
Excellent response from CrazedLeper, too. - frepnog, on 07/17/2009, -3/+20as much as I am tempted to agree with you...
if the moon landing was faked, the soviets would have busted that ***** wide open. they were watching the USA's every move at that point.
/it was real, people. odd, but real. - WhiskeyWrites, on 07/17/2009, -1/+18eneshelon: On some pictures you can see the cross hairs clearly overlayed on several subjects, the only time the cross hairs seem to disappear is when there is an extremely bright (white) subject in front of the cross hair section, where the amount of light hitting the film "bleeds" exposing the small amount of film that the cross hair would sit over.
- jbmcb, on 07/17/2009, -2/+19> even the most optimistic estimates say that we're a decade away from being able to do a Moon launch.
None of the infrastructure is there. We don't have a rocket or landing vehicle ready, and we aren't going to use the 40-year old stuff.
Think about it this way, how long would it take to build a fully functioning steam locomotive from 1930? Nobody builds boilers, or pistons, or the high pressure steam conduit you need anymore - it would all have to be done from scratch, and would probably take a while if you'd want to update the old designs with newer technologies. - DetpackJump, on 07/17/2009, -2/+19Unless of course he saw the vastness of space in the monolith
- Pixelante, on 07/17/2009, -3/+20They also had BALLS made of STEEL, while we're now living in the Age of the Wimp.
