Because they really didnt have the technology to make it to the moon, thus had to fake it to win a moral victory over the Soviet Union, which was much needed at the time.Why fake the moon landing, when you got all the technology to go there with for real?
Good point. Well, lets see, lets go out there and say the transmission was coming from the moon, did it ever occur to you that maybe they placed a transmitter on the moon in one of their many unmanned trips to the moon, thus having the astronauts sending transmissions to the mitter which was then past down to the command center thus giving the transmission the appearance of coming from the moon. Also, it is really easy to bounce signals off of objects, like the moon, and have it appear to be coming from there. But really, show me them soviets saying the transmission came from the moon, matter of fact. It may be your best argument but it still falls short.How the hell can you explain the fact that the transmission was coming from the moon? Even the Soviets were tracking the transmission from the moon.
Russia fought on grounds it could fight on. The Cold-War was a moral battle more then anything, and without solid proof that the US didnt go to the moon, like a live TV-Feed showing the moon, they would be looked at as whiners and it would possibly be a moral hit to themselves. And there are many other circumstances surrounding this, its politics.Russia isn't scoring points on the US for this, because the result will be war? Yes, because Russia didn't put missiles in Cuba, or parade a captured U2 pilot in front of cameras for the whole world to see. Russia is pretty much the only state on the world that could stand up to the US in a war, which means the US is probably more frightened of it than vice versa, despite the power differential. You don't want to lose your pre-eminent position by engaging in nuclear war.
So, uh That telescope picked up a signal from the moon .? A signal? Tell me, did you happened to see a flag through that telescope? You do know that a signal coming from the moon is a much proof that we went to the moon as well Its not.In western Australia during the live broadcast of the Apollo 11 moon landing, several people saw a very unusual occurrence. One viewer, Una Ronald watched the telecast and was astonished with what she saw.What danny said. I have a relative who worked at Parkes, where the telescope, which picked up the signal, was pointed at, you got it, the FRIGGING MOON!!! Australia actually saw the moon landings before even America did, because it took less time for the signal to reach us than elsewhere. So apparently the US is so good at faking this stuff, they are even capable of tricking satellite dishes into receiving a live signal from the moon, despite the fact no-one was there.
Im sorry, but I dont remember their names (or much else, its been so long) But I will try to get back to you ASAP (Noting my busy schedule) with at least one name, though Ill try to bring you more. But remember, It would be dangerous for any prominent person to rebuke the moon landing, Russian or not.Defend yourself. I asked you to prove the bull you've been saying about Russians (Soviets?) claiming US has never been on the moon. Go on tell me when and how they did it (first time would be good enough).
Things like reflectors could very well be placed their by unmanned missions. PHYSICAL evidence is something you fall short of. In a court case, you would end up in jail. And with this physical evidence you have yet shown me solid proof that the moon landings were real, repeating what the government of those moon landings said is not helping your case any.For example, you wonder about Russian motivations. An interesting question, but the we have PHYSICAL evidence of trips on the moon. Things like reflectors that were left on the moon, etc.. Evidence that even amateur astronomers can confirm (some of the Apollo missions could be tracked to some extent by amateurs).
I would strongly agree with you on this point.In fact, people arguing with you about these motivations are in a sense missing the wider point. I would strongly encourage those arguing against you to focus on their strong points (physical evidence, etc..)
Weaker level because those views are backed by the most powerful nation in the world? Or, because there was a live TV broadcast showing the moon landings? Tell me, how are your views fundamentally stronger then those of the people who call it a hoax?Grishnash, your arguments are on a fundamentally weaker level than those leveled against you.
Have we not the right to debate the moon landing?I'm sorry Grimnash, but you are possibly the single biggest idiot I've come across on these forums. And that's not a flame, it's a simple fact. How anyone can believe this is just beyond me. The level of ignorance just defies belief, it's like you could have sex then tell the person you did it with that you're a virgin afterwards. It's just completely non-sensical.
I request a mod close this thread, because it's too damn stupid to remain open.
I do not see this as such a great problem, but I am waiting for your reply.I’m sorry, but I don’t remember their names (or much else, it’s been so long) But I will try to get back to you ASAP (Noting my busy schedule) with at least one name, though I’ll try to bring you more. But remember, It would be dangerous for any prominent person to rebuke the moon landing, Russian or not.

So, here are the "big" questions of the moon landing:
Did we launch the rockets with the Apollo spacecraft into space?
A: Yes
Where did these spacecraft go?
A: The moon. If the spacecraft did not go to the moon, someone would have noticed (ie. the Russians and every other country in the world). Then, you have to explain either why all these people would keep quiet, or that we had even more advanced robot probes and "cloaking" technology to fake where the spacecraft were going.
The website you originally linked to, and much of the moon conspiracy, are again focused on the wrong, and mostly irrelevant questions, like:
When they got to the moon - did the astronauts have cruddy little cameras that took poor pictures and maybe some guy touched them up a bit for press release?
At this point it doesn't matter - the major questions and answers make it obvious we went to the moon.
I will make one point, and one point only (for the time being):
Assuming that the conspiracy hypothesis is true (it's not worth the title "theory"), why could a government that couldn't cover up a burglary in a Washington office complex cover up one of the biggest hoaxes in human history? It's even the same President, as you might recall (Nixon was President in '69; the break-in was a mere three years later).
Because they really didnt have the technology to make it to the moon, thus had to fake it to win a moral victory over the Soviet Union, which was much needed at the time.
Good point. Well, lets see, lets go out there and say the transmission was coming from the moon, did it ever occur to you that maybe they placed a transmitter on the moon in one of their many unmanned trips to the moon, thus having the astronauts sending transmissions to the mitter which was then past down to the command center thus giving the transmission the appearance of coming from the moon. Also, it is really easy to bounce signals off of objects, like the moon, and have it appear to be coming from there. But really, show me them soviets saying the transmission came from the moon, matter of fact. It may be your best argument but it still falls short.
They had the technology to make it to the moon. Hell, even Russia had the technology, just not the engineering skill to put it together. And why would they give a dman about a "moral victory?" The whole point of the space race was the military applications of the technologies developed, and the moon landing was no exception. The prestige was a bonus, not the goal.Because they really didnt have the technology to make it to the moon, thus had to fake it to win a moral victory over the Soviet Union, which was much needed at the time.
No, it didn't occur to us, because we're not giant effing morons. And yes, it is easy to bounce signals off of objects, now. The technology to do that on such a scale simply didn't exist then. He doesn't have to show you the soviets admitting it, you have to show him, and everyone else, them denying it. That's how it works when you're using bullcrap as your primary argument.Good point. Well, lets see, lets go out there and say the transmission was coming from the moon, did it ever occur to you that maybe they placed a transmitter on the moon in one of their many unmanned trips to the moon, thus having the astronauts sending transmissions to the mitter which was then past down to the command center thus giving the transmission the appearance of coming from the moon.

The Cold War was a geopolitical contest between the two strongest nations on Earth, both with their own security as the primary goal. Morality had not a damn thing to do with it, except in the case of dealing with Third World countries, and they were far more concerned with who could help arm and feed them than with who was standing on the moon. And how exactly is it a moral loss if the other side doesn't make it either? The Yanks could just say JFK's death set them back.Russia fought on grounds it could fight on. The Cold-War was a moral battle more then anything, and without solid proof that the US didnt go to the moon, like a live TV-Feed showing the moon, they would be looked at as whiners and it would possibly be a moral hit to themselves. And there are many other circumstances surrounding this, its politics.
That was a typo, I meant satellite dish. But now that you mention it, yes, the observatory also witnessed them waltzing around up there and planting the flag. Pwned you are, hmmm?So, uh That telescope picked up a signal from the moon .? A signal? Tell me, did you happened to see a flag through that telescope? You do know that a signal coming from the moon is a much proof that we went to the moon as well Its not.
Dude, that story's been discredited a thousand times. I see a cat in my flat every night, and I don't have one. Footstool looks a lot like one in the dark though.In western Australia during the live broadcast of the Apollo 11 moon landing, several people saw a very unusual occurrence. One viewer, Una Ronald watched the telecast and was astonished with what she saw.
The residents of Honeysuckle Creek, Australia, actually saw a different broadcast to the rest of the World. Just shortly before Armstrong stepped onto the Moons surface, a change could be seen where the picture goes from a stark black to a brighter picture. Honeysuckle Creek stayed with the picture and as Una watched Armstrong walking on the surface of the Moon she spotted a Coke bottle that was kicked in the right hand side of the picture. This was in the early hours of the morning and she phoned her friends to see if they had seen the same thing, unfortunately they had missed it but were going to watch the rebroadcast the next day. Needless to say, the footage had been edited and the offending Coke bottle had been cut out of the film. But several other viewers had seen the bottle and many articles appeared in The West Australian newspaper. So Uh.. Were we just talking about Australia, or could I be wrong?
Lots of people rebuke the moon landing, nothing dangerous about it at all. Unless you think the US will nuke Moscow if Putin says "Lulz, I's proved youse dint land on the moon yo." Just don't do it to Buzz Aldron's face, he'll pwn you good.Im sorry, but I dont remember their names (or much else, its been so long) But I will try to get back to you ASAP (Noting my busy schedule) with at least one name, though Ill try to bring you more. But remember, It would be dangerous for any prominent person to rebuke the moon landing, Russian or not.
No, in court they'd laugh you out of it. I've already explained the physical evidence, as have others. But you've just dug a giant hole for yourself. You see, I have no physical evidence that my mother gave birth to me. None at all. No doctors were present, just other family members. By your logic, I simply appeared out of thin air, and my mother and her family invented some wild tale that I was born. You took that to court, they'd laugh at you too, because there is far more supportive evidence - namely, me - than there is disportive evidence, that is, the lack of medical professionals and video footage.Things like reflectors could very well be placed their by unmanned missions. PHYSICAL evidence is something you fall short of. In a court case, you would end up in jail. And with this physical evidence you have yet shown me solid proof that the moon landings were real, repeating what the government of those moon landings said is not helping your case any.
Weaker because it would be far more impressive, technologically, politically, logistically, etc., for the US to have faked this, than for it to be true. If the moon landing was faked, it is a hoax involving literally thousands of people, across the world in all walks of life. AND NOT ONE OF THEM HAS CRACKED! No selling the story, no deathbed confessions, nothing.I would strongly agree with you on this point.
Weaker level because those views are backed by the most powerful nation in the world? Or, because there was a live TV broadcast showing the moon landings? Tell me, how are your views fundamentally stronger then those of the people who call it a hoax?
The right? Yes. Any possible reason? No. It's like debating whether or not not Kennedy is dead. Of course he is. You can debate the exact details, but not that it happened, because of the conclusive proof. As in the moon landing. Pwned!Have we not the right to debate the moon landing?
Another wise man once said: "Who's the bigger fool? The fool, or the fool who follows him?" You would be said follower.A wise man once said We must learn to disagree without being disagreeable
Dude, if you were Neil Armstrong, I'd let you sodomise me. I mean that. Because if Neil Armstrong is on an internet gaming messageboard, impersonating a Russian arguing against the greatest thing he'd ever done in his own life, then I'm a raging homosexual. Hompwned.Biggest idiot? Why? Because my opinion differs from yours and you are too close-minded to even consider the slightest possibility that maybe your view is wrong? Although mine might not be necessarily correct. Instead of debating the point youd rather dash it off is irrelevant despite any facts. What if I turned out to be Neil Armstrong? Would you still not consider my view?
And given the evidence they had available to them at the time, the conclusions they reached were logical, just as the conclusion that Mars had water on it was logical in the 19th century. But when knowledge progresses to the level that such theories are proved correct, they are forgotten. As this theory will be, when we start colonising space, and I unfreeze you from your cryochamber and personally frigging show you the damn landing site.Remember, it was wise men that said the world was flat, not morons. Astronomers that stated Terra with the center of the universe. Great mines that declared Europe, Asia and Africa were the only lands in the seas.
Bullplop, disproven many times. Einstein was a fairly normal child, development-wise. And you're not an idiot for disbelieving the promoted belief. You're an idiot for believing an idiotic belief. Albert Einspwned.If everyone who disagreed with the promoted belief were idiots and condemned such, the world would be a very sad place. Albert Einstein couldn't speak until he was three years old, and couldn't read until he was nine.
Easy. Simple momentum. In a vacuum, if you shake a stick with some cloth on the end of it, it will keep shaking. A pendulum works just fine and dandy in a vacuum, you just have to start it moving. As the astronauts did when they josteld the flag. You'll note, if you look through a telescope, that the flag is still moving. Go on, explain that one with your uber-logic, oh wise and omnipotent one. Momentpwned.So what if I were an idiot? I can very well back up my view with facts, like the fact that there is no air in space or on the moon so why was the flag moving when they were putting it down? And I do not go around calling people that disagree with me idiots.
I am tapping into my common sense. And I can say, unequivocably, that one of the few things in this world that I am 100% certain of, is that the United States landed men on the moon in 1969. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldron were the first, and more followed. I have just pwned you, using logic.You ask: How anyone can believe this? Well, I answer but you do not listen, look at what I have shown, tap into your common senses and tell me if you can without the slightest doubt tell me that we went to the moon as a matter of fact. Instead you dismiss me outright, without giving thought to my ideas, examples and proposals.
You simply call opponents of your views a 'liar' or worse, simply out of knee-jerk reaction and for the sake of being negative.
There is no such thing as "facts in the eyes of the beholder." Facts are things which absolutely are. Truth is subjective, facts are objective. The truth, from your point of view, is idiotic. That's what makes you an idiot, believing in something idiotic. My truth, is based on factual evidence. That we landed on the moon is a fact, not simply a truth. There are no facts on your side of the aisle, just bullcrap conspiracy theories, all of which have been discredited multiple times. Eyes of the beholdpwned.Listen, you can believe one thing, me another, but that does not make one an idiot if both sides are back by facts in the eyes of the beholder. But let us debate, with senses and logic, with the willingness to learn as well as teach, to compromise without giving up our core beliefs that make us who we are. There are many facts, on both sides of the aisle, and as we lay them out and dissect them, we may question those that fall about, and take into consideration those which hold strong.
You are the debater. Because no-one else on the boards is stupid enough to question the moon landings. If you start a discussion thread, and state your opinion, you are involved in the debate on that side. If you just mentioned the theory, and invited people to discuss, you are not a debater.And now, as a side note that seem to have been forgotten, or never gotten in the first place. I am not the debater, I wanted to watch the debate between people who believed and people who didnt. I just tried to get the ball rolling on the debate, point out some observations but it seems theres not a one on this here forum that questions the moon landings. Oh well.
Yeah. Right. At this point the question becomes "if we orbited the moon a whole bunch with our astronauts, why didn't we land?" For which I'm sure the hoax supporter types have an answer.
Dude, if you were Neil Armstrong, I'd let you sodomise me.
Said wise man probably lived prior (ha ha) to [wiki]Aumann's Agreement Theorem[/wiki]. And another wise man once said "A witty statement proves nothing".Have we not the right to debate the moon landing?
A wise man once said “We must learn to disagree without being disagreeable”
Pwnage now complete. You may return to your duties.
Thanks. But, to reuse an analogy I made once before, it was like Mike Tyson beating up a ******ed, midget child in a wheelchair.Well, that was some fantastic uberpwnage you gave Shari.
I'd pay to see that.Thanks. But, to reuse an analogy I made once before, it was like Mike Tyson beating up a ******ed, midget child in a wheelchair.
Hell, I still don't believe that we ever went to the so-called New World. The America we know today is just a Coca Cola commercial.
And I believe I have more evidence for this than the moon hoax conspiracy.
edit: I have to give credit and mad kudos to the pwneronishow Sharwood put on there. I haven't seen pwnerage like that since Pwnedmania 5.
I'd pay to see that.
You do remember you were the next poster, and said exactly the same thing, last time I proposed that fight? And thanks.
