- inactive, on 07/15/2009, -0/+17What do you mean 40 years?
I remember seeing this as a kid, it can't be 40 years... 30 at most...
Oh *****... When did I get so old - Freeman08, on 07/15/2009, -2/+17Landing on the moon was arguably the most significant technological advancement in the 20th century and a symbol of what what the human race can achieve when we put our minds to something. We went from the first powered flight of any aircraft on Earth to the moon in less than 70 years, roughly 130 years less than the entire duration of the Crusades. And I for one can't wait to go back.
- inactive, on 07/15/2009, -1/+15He went to the moon. He can give as many interviews as he wants.
- inactive, on 07/15/2009, -1/+10This interview was much more interesting.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTKedyQQkZQ
Also.. the Buzz Aldrin knockout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOo6aHSY8hU - ophello, on 07/15/2009, -2/+9For those of you who still think we didn't go to the moon:

Start researching, stop embarrassing yourselves, and learn something in the process. - darkmagus, on 07/15/2009, -2/+7ALDRIN PUNCH!!!
- Freeman08, on 07/16/2009, -0/+4I hope you just forgot the "/s." That's what you did...right? ...right?
- ophello, on 07/15/2009, -3/+7If that was a joke, good one.
If you're serious, get a life. - UV0001, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3"And modern shuttle tech can't?"
And you know this how? Care to site a source that says a modern shuttle can't go to the moon? Bare in mind that just because we DON'T go to the moon now with a modern shuttle doesn't mean we CAN'T.
"And "no technology we have" can photograph the flag and plaque supposedly left behind? Sure thing, champ."
Nope, you're correct. No technology we have can photograph the flag or plaque from earth. It's like trying to photograph molecules with a digital camera. Not possible.
Oh and like the above comment mentioned, what about the reflectors left behind. We can shine a laser on them and receive a signal back. How you explain that if we never went to the moon? - inactive, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3Probably the same way you celebrated passing into puberty.
- ophello, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3Jesus christ, you people are sad.
The hubble space telescope, arguably the best telescope currently, can resolve details on the moon about 100 meters wide. That means anything smaller than that CANT BE SEEN.
So yes. No technology we have, currently, can see the lunar surface with enough detail to resolve the artifacts we left behind. We DID leave a retroreflector.
Of course, you've made up your mind, and cling to your belief like a retarded rat banging its head at the end of a maze, when simply looking around in the other direction, and using basic common sense, you could easily arrive at the profoundly simple explanation: we went to the ***** moon.
You are so proud and deluded, thinking you know better than everyone else, that you refuse to take the steps any reasoning person would to prove this to yourself, but you wont: its more of an ego boost to think you know some secret and that the rest of the world are fools.
Sadly, your life is a cruel irony. - wgadmin, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3I didn't know Buzz was such a funny guy. He got some good one-liners in there.
- tidu, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Um, I'd argue that it's the most significant technological advancement in ANY century...
- ilbbaicl, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2I must have played for hours with my Saturn V rocket when I was young.
- UV0001, on 07/16/2009, -1/+3Yes, all three of those things share a common trait. They're all true.
- oxymoron69, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2What about the retroreflectors they left behind on the surface?
- p51d007, on 07/15/2009, -1/+3I was almost 10 when they left for the moon. I followed it from launch, landing, and that damn hot July evening when they went for a walk. Watched it all on the BLACK & WHITE tv. Hardly anyone back in the day had AC, so you just lived with the heat. I remember it like it was yesterday. The next summer, they had the Apollo 11 command module at the state capital building and we got to see it and take a peak inside. Pretty cool stuff for a 10 year old.
- Phelyx, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2People who believe this stuff have no idea how technical things work. They don't understand space flight, and they definitely don't understand film/TV/video production.
If the moon landings had been faked, there wouldn't have been all the stupid "code words" for things like lifting the "ceiling" or whatever their claim is. They'd just do their work while the tape or film wasn't rolling. They also wouldn't have "accidentally" gotten the science correct by not showing stars, etc... It would have been clearly faked if there HAD been stars visible. haha.
People who believe the landings were fake have no technical sense. They're the same people who can't comprehend science and buy weird stuff like creationism and aliens building the pyramids. They can't imagine how it's done, so they make up silly stories to explain it. - UV0001, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Why don't you also do the same.
http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/tv/foxapollo.html
This refutes every hoaxer claim that has any remote possibility of having any substance. Everything you posted is just your own baseless speculation/observation on the videos.
Then again, I'm just posting this in the off chance that you're actually a hoaxer. I believe that most of you so called hoaxers on digg are just trolls acting like hoaxers for the lulz. - GiggleStick, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Yes, nearly. It's actually slightly less. Pretty close, huh?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Earth-Moon.png - inactive, on 07/16/2009, -1/+2Didn't add the /s because I figured it would be obvious... but I guess not with digg crowd?
- Phelyx, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1People who buy the moon landing hoax idea don't understand science. To them science and technology are all a big mystery and the only way they can comprehend it is to imagine it happened the same way movies and TV shows get made.
- andyrunner, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1actually there were powered flights of winged aircraft decades before the Wright brothers, they were just unmanned, and that doesn't include balloons.
/nerd - Freeman08, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Ah yes, good point. That's true. Langley in particular had several successful unmanned flights before the Wright brothers, and would have had the first successful manned flight as well if his Aerodrome hadn't fell into the Potomac.
/aerospace engineering major ;) - IamZed, on 07/15/2009, -1/+2with a serious buzz
- moonasha, on 07/16/2009, -1/+2It's sad we've been too busy spending money on rich people's yachts and wars instead of doing more things like this.
The human race has such potential, but .1% of it ruins it for the rest of us. - BigT383, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1I would say technological "achievement". Think of all the advancements it relied on before hand... Most people point out the Wright brothers' flight in 1903, but also consider: this was less than 90 years after Edison patented the light bulb in 1880.
- twinklyJesus, on 07/16/2009, -1/+2When I was 12 they looked so ... mature. Now, they look like kids. They were my heroes then and they still are today.
- tidu, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1say that to his face, man
- twinklyJesus, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1FOADAH
- fety, on 07/16/2009, -3/+4agreed!!! Open up your thick skulls and WATCH and LISTEN!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOo6aHSY8hU - danj484, on 07/15/2009, -0/+0Don't know if serious...
- mywhitenoise, on 07/15/2009, -1/+1I was about to say "Awh fiddle sticks!", until I realized he's still a day early!
- inactive, on 07/16/2009, -1/+1Twitter? Are you ***** kidding me? GTFO with that ***** you autistic *****.
- UV0001, on 07/16/2009, -0/+0Just wait till we develop warp drive, in 400 or so years.
- NiftyG, on 07/16/2009, -0/+0Is that what they're calling it these days?
- ophello, on 07/15/2009, -1/+1There is a simple explanation: The launch date was July 16th. They don't count the moment he landed on the moon as the beginning of the mission.
- JaredXM, on 07/16/2009, -1/+1A quarter million miles away from earth? 250,000 miles?
- Tweets, on 07/16/2009, -1/+1I was 11 years old. Watched it on a black and white TV.
- dcipjr, on 07/15/2009, -1/+1For all you on Twitter -- I guess that's almost everyone nowadays -- you can follow Buzz here:
http://twitter.com/therealBuzz - Atdiw, on 07/15/2009, -1/+0lololollol
- Presbyterian, on 07/16/2009, -1/+0Yeah, and there were earlier trips to the Moon too, they were just unmanned.
- jpers, on 07/16/2009, -1/+0Oh, I remember that clearly. I was at a camp sight in Cape Cod and a person
camping nearby had a portable TV. So several of us watched the landing. What
a wonderful and exceiting achievment. - inactive, on 07/15/2009, -4/+3Oh yeah, the "moon landing". Kinda like the "holocaust" or "global warming".
- fety, on 07/16/2009, -3/+1Open up your thick skulls and WATCH and LISTEN!
