Tell you something funny about the Moon Morons. Ask them about the other ten men who landed on the moon, and whether they were faked too. Or ask them about the moon rocks which were donated all around the world. Or how much just ONE traitor from the thousands of people involved in all the Apollo missions would have made from a confession.

They just blink a bit then change the subject. They never even thought about that. Inevitably they watched one low budget kookee documentary when they were stoned and took it as gospel, without knowing the facts.

Older folk wont have it that the moon landings never happened.

In the documentary Capricorn One an astronaut says it's bullshit.

Other astonauts who went to the moon also said there were alien craft watching them.

Which do we believe?

If the moon landings were fakes then we'd know about it from the Russians.
 
I always wondered how they got through the Van Allen radiation belts in one piece. Watching them videos were people try to disprove it happening always makes me feel sad. I'd like to go to my deathbed thinking we landed on the moon

It's absolutely pointless discussing it with them. They don't appear to have the intellectual capacity to make an evidence based judgment and would rather believe what half witted idiots post on conspiracy nut websites.

There isn't a single claim by the conspiracy nuts that hasn't been thoroughly debunked.

Straight up question. Did you believe that McManus thought Capricorn One was a documentary?

Can you please explain how the age of some people has any effect whatsoever on the question of did man walk on the moon?

With no offence to Didsbury Dave, he's a fair whack older than me, yet we share the same view. I'm sorry but that argument is almost as thin as your 'never happened' argument.

We're all entitled to our opinion, you have yours, but saying age is a factor is ridiculous. People can study theory and evidence regardless of age (Assuming they are reasonably educated and infants of course)

I suspect it's a poor attempt at a wind up. Even he couldn't be that stupid.

Did you know that 400,000 worked in some capacity on the Apollo programs?

That's 400,000 people in on this conspiracy. Probably over a million if you include their families. And not one was tempted to earn worldwide fame and millions of dollars by blowing the whistle. No one even did it anonymously.

I also rather like the fact that the Russians had many of the worlds most brilliant scientists and a huge space travel program, In direct competition with the USA. They were able to track every inch of the Apollo missions and analyse every single piece of data which was released about every aspect of the mission. Yet even they, despite the enormous morale boost it would have given Russia at the height of the Cold War, didn't cry foul.

Yet some wacko has the arrogance to think he knows better that all of Russia's most capable people?

It's the stupidest of all conspiracy theories because it is the one with the most enormous body of evidence against it. And it's irritating that it's proponents refuse to engage with that evidence.
