50 years since man landed on the Moon

Those calling it a hoax.... Do you not think that scientists would have discredited this by now, or is every scientist who has ever studied a piece of rock collected from the moon, looked at data etc. all in on this elaborate plot that luckily for us a few internet sleuths have managed to uncover? Please, just stop. You are talking out of your tin-hatted arses.

The problem with conspiracy theorists is that they infect every discussion with their drivel, its like a form of attention-seeking.

People end up trying to convince the half-wits they're wrong rather than celebrating the incredible achievement of landing on another planet.

Or maybe they just don't believe everything the government and press want them to believe??? Just playing devils advocate

They should listen to the scientists in that case.

I have a theory that the whole conspiracy theory is a front to deflect attention from the real conspiracy that is taking place and needs covering up!!

...and yet not one of them ever has a coherent counter argument.

Nah. They’re just morons whose minds have rotted through too much exposure to crank conspiracy theorists. Total bellends.

Watched one of the BBC moon landing programs on yesterday which touched on the story of Ed Dwight (first black astronaut). Apparently someone thought the program needed a black guy, but then this was the 60's, and black guys didn't get selected on merit in those days.

An able aviator, Dwight was selected, and sent to Test Pilot school at Edwards AFB. Apparently, during his time there, director of training, Chuck Yeager (yes, that Chuck Yeager) told all the white guys on the course not to talk to him, or otherwise fraternise with him.

I never had Chuck down as a massive racist, but then I suppose this was the norm.

Needles to say, Ed didn't make it through the later stages of astronaut training and was chopped from the program as a result of 'racial politics' to use his own words.

Only a fool believes everything that the press and government them. But it takes a moron to disregard irrefutable evidence.

This was their first attempt at landing on the moon! Apollo 1 to 10 were a roaring success. So congratulations, every part of your post is wrong

Apollo 1 wasn't really all that successful
