The MOON?

[JoondalupJ]

Saw and old or new? Doco on fox the other day. It was all these ex NASA experts and former astronauts and other people from the space program.

Well, they do these docos pretty well the yanks, and this got quite convincing.
It was suggesting no one went to the moon on Apollo 11. They said it was faked because they had to deter the russians from bothering to be first , because they may put nuclear rockets up there
Far fetched but the mind set in those days was total cold war. So not totally out of the realms.

I don't know if they meant the other Apollo missions were all faked, I'm not sure , but wouldn't it be hard keeping all those technitions quiet and their mouths shut??

One of these days, Alice. Bang. Zoom. Straight to the moon.

Have a look at a film called Dark Side of the Moon.

The best theory I have heard and the one that I believe is that they DID infact go to the moon and the also filmed a FAKE moon landing just incase it didn't broadcast. Makes the most sense. Debunk the footage all you want, it probably was fake, but apollo 11 did go to the moon.

They're already one of the USA's closest neighbours. How would rockets on the moon help them?

 

[The Dice Man]

The fact that they were in a space race with the Russians proves that the US did in fact go to the mon. If they faked it the Russians would have exposed the lie. They had the technology to track.

No question about it.

There is already a thread on this, not sure if its on this board or SRP board. It is worth your while looking it up, there are some BigFooty posters you will never be able to take seriously again.




EDIT: here it is

I'm going to go and read it all again now, it was that good.



2nd EDIT: Actually I don't think that was the one I remember (and I didn't find any of my own posts in there), but still interesting.



3rd EDIT: it was this one. Some gold plated material in this thread.

 

[Slax]

They never went there, after all they can't land on soemthing made of cheese

On a more serious note, the fact that the Russians have never said anything indicates that they did in fact land on the moon.

epic thread.

mantis on fire in there.

i love the people who go "if they went back it would prove to me they've done it"... yes, they're going to spend billions of dollars going back to the moon just to prove to a handful of people that they were there. let's not forget that handful of people will still in all likelihood still not believe they made it.

i'm all for being sceptical and having a dig at the yanks, but if the moon landing was faked it would've come out by now - think of the amount of people required to have kept quiet over the years. just simply not possible.

the problem with the conspiracy theorists is they believe everything is a conspiracy theory. 9/11, moon landings, jfk, and even lately with the bostom marathons. so it becomes increasingly hard to sift through it all.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Really, really, really original idea for discussion.

 

[Illinois Nazi]

I just love all the people who say "well my iPhone is more powerful than the computer they had back then so it should be easy to do again", as though it's the on-board software that is the most expensive component they need.

I didn't say that , the documentary said, that was one reason they had to show the Russians they had got there first , so the Russians may think twice about spending billions on the moon when it had already been done. Now I don't know, we are talking about the cold war , you know in the 60's . It was actually the space race and Afghanistan that killed the Soviet Union. Its a curiosity don't you think. And rockets on the moon I don't bloody well know either who'd benefit , but I imagine if it actually happened and it was the Soviets, then it would give them a few goals start on any one else. This is just speculation , I don't know. Just thought it interesting.

Yeah its a bloody good idea for a discussion, who cares if its not original. I ONLY SAW THE BLOODY DOCO LAST WEEK. GEE YOU PEOPLE!!!

Your right. I thought that too. How hard to keep everything a secret. I believe they went to the moon. But I thought the doco was very convincing , and I did see it only last week.

Indeed.

The Spitfire and the Focke Wulf 190 had no computer technology at all like we know it.

Thus WWII never happened and was faked.

The Russians weren't friggin morons. I'm sure they were following it very closely indeed, and could easily tell if a radio signal was coming from the Nevada desert, or if the rocket was a fake, or whatever the hell else the conspiracists claim.....

They could have humiliated the US at the height of the Cold War if they had any proof at all it was faked. That they didn't tells you all you need to know.

I believe you on that part.

 

[Commando]

Fake, I'll believe it when I've been there myself! Haha

The moon itself isn't real. I was with a few mates, pissed & f*cking around with an home-made orange gun one day. We put a golf-ball and far too much Air Wick in it, next minute it was caught in Earth's orbit and slowly started expanding. Good behaviour bond just expired, still got the orange gun.
