Did we ever make it to the moon?

Check it out on Google Moon.

It doesn't show the modules or the flags. It just shows cheese.

 

[smmudge]

This question never even crossed my mind before I saw a documentary some time ago, stating that back then we didn't have the technology to land on the moon. I never used to listen to the thories about the astronauts' shadows being in the wrong angle, flags flying without wind or the absence of stars behind them... But the documentary really amde me believe they actually were unable to land thre at all. It also said all the times they tried to test the landing equipement on earth it failed miserably. i wonder how many people actually DON'T believe in man being on the moon.

How do you feel about the other 5 times men landed on moon?

 

[soof]

Lmao.
I <3 R.E.M.

Loved that movie, "Man 0n the Moon" with Jim Carrey. He's the best.

 

[Roadkill]

Ah such lovely replies. Then again, 200 years ago everyone believed in god and other boo-boo stories. glad we are wise enough today to know what is true.

The Flat Earth Society still exists, despite the massive weight of evidence against it...

One question I always had: if it takes a giant titan rocket to lift off the surface of the earth, how could that puny little lunar excursion model carry enough gas to lift off the surface of the moon, straight up?

err, its a small body with low gravity. The low gravity that allows the small craft to take off relatively easily, also allowed the astronauts to do those big long leaps. As a result it doesn't have an atmosphere, it all escaped - just like somewhere like jupiter has massive gravity and loads and loads of atmosphere, cos it never escaped

edited - meh, just saw the other replies

 

[butchersapron]

Why do people always/often put these sort of threads in the theory, philosophy & history forum?

 

[stdPikachu]

History?

Last I looked, there wasn't a "flaming nutjob psychopath fairy tales" forum, unless you count general

 

[axon]

I can't believe how gullible you lot are! Of course men have never landed on the moon, there is no moon. It's just an 8 foot disc suspended in the sky, you can see the strings holding it up!!! Remember we never used to know about electricity so how could the moon be real, eh? Bet you didn't think of that.

That's odd, 'cos 200 years ago people were being imprisoned for not believing in G-d. Not just in the UK, but in some US states and in European countries too.

 

[ViolentPanda]

Out of interest, surely the USA flag and the lunar landing module will still be up there won't it?

Dude, they're like, holographic projections, maaan!

To which US states do you refer in this extraordinary assertion?

This is strange, I didn't know I was 200+ years of age.
I was always told I wasn't born when the Moon got invaded by the Human Race. Ah... the joy of being an Alien, you learn something new on Earth every day.

salaam.

Back to la la loonspud land with you.

Some of us believe in god and the moon landings the two positions are not mutually exclusive you know.

Any more 'fact lite' stuff you want to impose on us? Two suns? Vapour trails? Mind control vaccines? tsunami's caused by underwater nuclear weapons? pentawater? invisible pods on the 911 planes?

It would be impossible to cover up a fake moon landing so why do the conspiraloons insist on pushing this bollocks.

Unless of course they were all eliminated by the Mossad.

Fucking Hell do you have to blame the Israeli's for everything


Shome mishtake shurely? Wouldn't it be the CIA?

No no no.
It was Israel that helped the CIA, in fact inspired it and as you know runs not only the USA but, even more important: Hollywood.
More than the USA itself Israel therefore couldn't afford to have the Russians invading the Moon first.

salaam.

Prior to the constitution states including the one your employer is based in and Massachusetts did so, just as they'd earlier incarcerated Quakers and "witches", among others.

Bullshit. Pennsylvania never incarcerated Quakers, in fact it was founded by Quakers. And the constitution was adopted longer ago than 200 years. You merely parade your ignorance here.

Sort of an international Jewish conspiracy, you mean?

Looks like there were some women accused in 1772 but i have no way to verify the statements and it's outside the timescale given by over three decades.

He did state Massachusetts though, which most certainly did imprison Quakers...

In the Massachusets (namely, Boston-Colony) after they have Whipp'd them, and Cut their Ears, they have now, at last, gone the furthest step they can, They Banish them upon pain of Death. We expect that we must do the like; we must Dance after their Pipe: Now Plimouth-Saddle is on the Bay-Horse.

[Hocus Eye.]

It's called 1/6th gravity. And it only has to get into orbit around the moon with a much lower payload than originally needed to get off the earth.

Augie that was f'in hilarious. I wonder if that is what they really said before NASA edited it. "Holy mother of fuck I'm on the fucking moon"

Whatever, phil.
You, as always, are right, and anyone else is wrong, even scholars such as Koehnline, who researched the subject. Well done, phil.

The constitution, by the way, was adopted longer ago than 200 years, how much longer though? A mere few decades.

Oh that's alright then, you were only wrong by a "mere few decades," what's that among historians eh? And if you have evidence that Pennsylvania ever imprisoned Quakers, you had better post it up or be exposed and branded as a fool. For it is the opinion of everyone else that PA was founded by William Penn, a well-known *Quaker,* precisely as a refuge for his fellow *Quakers.* Indeed it is known to this day as the "Quaker state." I expect either your proof to the contrary or your heartfelt apology immediately.

 

[dylanredefined]

I suggest you go and ask buzz aldrin how it was faked he loves debating this subject.

What does the foundation of the state have to do with the reality that it was not, for very long, a majority quaker state? Did Penn and his successors institute an anti-persecution rule that enshrined Quakerism and quakers as untouchables?
Nah, so your point is irrelevant.

I expect either your proof to the contrary or your heartfelt apology immediately.

Expect away.

As for being branded a fool by you, how many people have you tried that on now, and how many times has it stuck?
Your stock is low, phil. Many people see through your barrages of pomposity and bluster, your (as you describe it) "tyrannical vehemence of expression, combined with a maniacal commitment to the controversial" and see what lies beneath; an insecure twit.

Yes, as a matter of fact they did. Pennsylvania was the first territory in the world to enforce religious toleration by law. Once again, if you have any evidence that PA imprisoned Quakers, post it up. Otherwise everyone will see that you are once again shooting your mouth off about subjects on which you are completely and utterly ignorant. And this time you are caught in the act. You might as well admit it.
