'fraid I can't let the topic die, so here's our fourth bloody moon topic

Jeku, you might be interested in reading this, I thought the fake moon stuff was convincing for a while and was rather interested in it. The guy's a little bit aggressive but generally keeps it cool and logical. It's an intimidating size but again, it might be interesting .

If you do have the time to read it I'd be interested in talking about any other evidence you think there is against it that he doesn't debunk there .

For a paper in my senior year of high school I wrote a 10 page paper to prove that we landed on the moon...I will upload it so you guys can read it as soon as I can, but it is at my computer at home right now...I will have my brother email it to me. I got an A on it, it is pretty good, and true!

Argh... saying we didn't go to the moon is like saying the Holocaust never happened.

It's my firm belief that it's far easier and cheaper to actually fly to the moon than stage it.

"no stars in the sky"
thats because the moon reflects light brilliantly, so the camera has to have very short exposure time, which dims down the light, hence dim objects such as stars just arnt captured.

"shadows converge"
as i said, the moon is reflective. light is bouncing around of rocks everywhere

"flag"
someone in the other thread explained this.

if you notice the moon buggy driving, youll see the moon soil stuff ejects outwards in a perfect parabola, something we dont get on earth because of out atmosphere.

andif your still sceptical, i read in the focus magazine that someone's building a telescope with high enough resolution to zoom in on the moon and take a photo of the moon lander. we'll just have to wait until then.

did u know the earth has 5 moons? 1 was discovered in late last century, and the rest within the last yr.

1 of these moons actually orbits like a horseshoe shape, and bounces back the other way round once doing a full ciruit.

we only know the 1 moon since the others are just small pieces of rock, but since they orbit the earth, they qualify as moons

I was under the impression all natural sattelites weren't moons... they have to be of a certain mass.

My opinion ... for what it's worth.

Yes men have landed on the moon but not on Apollo 11.

My thoughts are, JFK had made a promise that man would be on the moon by the end of the decade and when he was assasinated the moon landing was staged to make it look like he had 'lived' up to his promise.

Later moon landings happened. I just don't think it happened in the '60's

It's only an opinion ... mine
