- bwjacket, on 03/12/2008, -13/+357i'd like to land on kari's moons and claim them for all mankind. heyoooooooooo
- wonderchemist, on 03/12/2008, -25/+248So they went to the same set at Marshall Space Flight Center they staged the moon landings to test if the moon landings were a hoax?
- mentallyinhell, on 03/12/2008, -8/+183http://xkcd.com/202/
- inactive, on 03/12/2008, -13/+173I've always wanted them to take on the 9/11 conspiracy theories. Maybe that's next.
- jboswell2000, on 03/12/2008, -2/+140The astronauts left a small reflective mirror on the moon that is still used by scientists today to study the distance of the moon from the earth, gravity, etc. Scientists on earth shoot a laser at this device and measure the bounce back. Look it up.
- BigManOnCampus, on 03/12/2008, -12/+125Excellent news. Since people still don't want to believe BA, I guess the Discovery/Science Channel has to put a program out. I bet it'll be in a timeslot right before "Ghost Hunters"... sad.
- joel8x, on 03/12/2008, -12/+119Those ghost hunting shows are so ridiculous. Does anyone watch that crap and think that any of it is legitimate?
- JFallon126, on 03/12/2008, -9/+85I ***** love Mythbusters.
- camino262, on 03/12/2008, -6/+80It will make for some great TV, but I doubt it will change any of the doubters minds. They have ignored way too much evidence that it is all real.
- Hobbes24, on 03/12/2008, -8/+76they filmed the moon landings in mars, n00b.
- Apokalyps2547, on 03/12/2008, -5/+72The answer is this: the moon is a very very bright place.
The surface of the moon, when in the sun (as the Apollo astronauts were), is bright white. The camera was set to a fast exposure speed, because normal speeds would have made the surface and the astronauts overexposed... an indistinguishable white blur.
The faster shutter speed made the camera unable to pick up starlight. - AvaPro, on 03/12/2008, -2/+57Smart girls are ***** hot. Thats about it.
- SevenTwo, on 03/12/2008, -1/+55Savage/Hyneman 08'
- BadAstronomer, on 03/12/2008, -4/+54Yup. That's what the build team did at least. Adam and Jamie did some other tests at their studio in California. I know some of the thigns they tested, but not the results. I ain't talking 'til they give me the go-ahead. :-)
- inactive, on 03/12/2008, -19/+63Well, the experts keep answering those questions for you, but those freshman college dudes with a website and the theology professor seem to know better than engineers and real scientists.
- inactive, on 03/12/2008, -3/+46The moon landing was a inside job
- IllBeBack, on 03/12/2008, -4/+46This won't change the minds of the kooks from thinking it was a hoax. But it will be another good episode.
- carpespasm, on 03/12/2008, -18/+60I'd like to see them do a mythology busters.
"We've tried every possible means and can find no way that you can turn water into wine without using a trick jug." [BUSTED] - jboswell2000, on 03/12/2008, -1/+43If you search for the program "Horizon: What on Earth is Wrong With Gravity," on Google Video, you will meet the scientists doing the study. It's pretty fascinating, actually, how they are utilizing that small mirror Armstrong left behind to learn so much about the moon.
- hadak, on 03/12/2008, -2/+42Can I have Kari?
- BadAstronomer, on 03/12/2008, -1/+39I just helped, sadly. :-) Actually it was a lot of fun. When the time gets closer to the air date I'll post some more about some other stuff I've talked to them about.
- Failchan, on 03/12/2008, -4/+42Go climb a wall of dicks.
- inactive, on 03/12/2008, -5/+42Conspiracy nuts make me ill. We're supposed to believe that aliens come here all the time, yet we couldnt possibly have visited the moon. They aim to debunk video we have and know well, yet stand firm in things like alien autopsies and missiles fired on the pentagon.
- knightblade2oo4, on 03/12/2008, -4/+41heyooo!
...im very aroused. - Hawkeye05, on 03/12/2008, -2/+38Dont forget the whole RedHead Thing also
- MrTheKing, on 03/12/2008, -3/+35I saw Neil Armstrong speak a few years ago, he mentioned this project. He said "I had a very small role in that project, I was just the technician who was assigned to install the mirror"
- inactive, on 03/12/2008, -16/+48There probably are. A friend of mine believes John Edwards is genuine. She won't even let me explain how his shows are filmed for about 4 hours and edited down to one, etc. Many people will buy into this sort of crap, and when you press them it always comes down to the same thing: they are afraid of death. Most people can't imagine a universe without their conscience existing. Every time I have a serious discussion about the supernatural people always admit that they "just have to believe in something," or, "there has to be more to this life." This line of thought is a weakness. I want to believe those things also, that when I die, I will float to paradise surrounded by everyone I ever loved including my childhood dog, Rex. I want to believe this, but my logic won't let me. It takes a stronger mind to realize what you want to be true and what is actually true don't always mesh.
- inactive, on 03/12/2008, -0/+31Especially Kari.
- siractsalot777, on 03/12/2008, -5/+35the moon is made of cheese and you know it mythbusters its a fact.
- inactive, on 03/12/2008, -7/+36Exactly, people that believe these conspiracies, moon landing, 9/11truthers, etc already have made up their minds, and no amount of evidence will convince them. Every time undeniable evidence to contradict their argument, they attack the source of the information. Look how many truthers claimed Bush paid off Popular Mechanic to lie about it.
- mcrumley, on 03/12/2008, -3/+32A plane can take off from a treadmill. It's not difficult to understand and they clearly explained it on the show.
- MScrip, on 03/12/2008, -1/+30I love ***** Mythbusters.
- stavrogin2, on 03/12/2008, -1/+30I wonder if the ghost hunters ever go somewhere and say "Nope, no ghosts here. Maybe it's your plumbing.".
- Pilot85, on 03/12/2008, -3/+31actually, yeah, it was. Paid for and perpetrated by the US government.
- triscuitbiscuit, on 03/12/2008, -0/+27Not to play devil's advocate or anything, but they have, plenty of times...
Some of their stuff does bother me though- especially the Eastern State apparition... They claim that there is no way its a person yet you can clearly see leg movement when the sheet- i mean apparation- isn't covering the whole way. - MiraiLindemann, on 03/12/2008, -3/+29Hahaha, wow, I'm impatient to know the results, it's gonna be a great show but, for being sincere, I'm sure what are they gonna say.
Anyway, I still believe on moon landings.
------------------
BA: Are you going to be on the show or you just helped?? - Jpesci, on 03/12/2008, -5/+30No amount of evidence is going to change hoax conspirators' minds. I'm sure this episode might help clear some things up though for people on the fence about it. Regardless to all of the doubters out there... try checking out the lunar legacy series, which you can find on youtube.
- Failchan, on 03/12/2008, -2/+27What is it about her that is so attractive...man will never know.
- krisscofield, on 03/12/2008, -1/+26Don't tell me there's a HOLLOW Mars, too?!
- Railz, on 03/12/2008, -2/+26It was a sound stage on Mars is probably the smartest comment.
- Veni_Vidi_Vici, on 03/12/2008, -5/+29Uh oh, someone is wrong on the internet.
I was about to go to sleep too. I guess Duty Calls. - inactive, on 03/12/2008, -5/+28ah 4d669, a 9/11 truther AND you think the moon landings were fake - you are truly a renaissance man..
- ConeOfSilence, on 03/12/2008, -0/+23she makes my rocket go up.
- d0onut, on 03/12/2008, -2/+24selfish bastard
- cnot3, on 03/12/2008, -0/+22Jamie's Beret.
- wukillabee, on 03/12/2008, -4/+26mythbusters not needed, history channel to the rescue
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqlo_spATEM - Hawkeye05, on 03/12/2008, -0/+21you know you would too,
- isntreal, on 03/12/2008, -0/+21I'm jealous.
- RogerStrong, on 03/12/2008, -0/+20A lot less war, but somehow even more explosions.
- Egarim, on 03/12/2008, -1/+21No, inside. It's hollow. That's why there aren't any stars in the pictures.
