The Moon

Postby Ciso_B » Fri Jan 16, 2009 9:28 pm GMT

I remember a history lecture I had at uni about whether man went to the moon, and never questioned it prior to that lecture.

Today and yesterday I looked up alot of stuff just out of interest, the footage etc, and just curious as to how many people think we did or didn't.

Was pretty sick, saw a rare interview with neil armstrong where he speaks pretty cryptically. I wont say anymore though...what you guys think? Man go to the moon?

You're like an awkward O'reilly when he met Colbert.

We should and must be free to challenge the accuracy of any event and pursue the facts.

However, when we ignore evidence in order to cling to a belief we waste this freedom and might as well just live without it.

Summary: Stupid conspiracy theories are signal noise that make it harder for us to highlight real lies.

China apparently think they ll have a the capability to get to the moon 2016...maybe man will actually go to the moon.Although that van alen belt or whatever it is looks like it could make for a challenge.

You realise that you missed out the word 'again' at the end of that bit right?

The real question is though : Who the f*ck cares?

Does it really matter if we went to the moon or not?

It was pretty monumentally important at the time, for about a million different political reasons. The only reason I give ANY credence to the idea of it being "faked" (honestly I give this about a one in a million shot) is because of just how important it was for the U.S. to be there first. This is back when looking tough and having fancy ray guns was the way to get international recognition from other nations..

Well , it is interesting.I admit I dont care if they did go or not so much....although I think USA should care, bearing in mind they gave a sick amount to NASA in taxes to fund Apollo missions.

Check out the post flight conference if you wanna see 3 astronauts clearly afraid they're gonna get found out :shock: ... eh , ive had enuf fun with this topic for a bit...nice ruffling feathers tho.
