"If You Believe They Put A Man On The Moon..." Contest!

More of my 2 FECs:




I know the above was posted with tongue and cheek, but as a retired scientist (heavy on geology), this explanation doesn't rock (p.i.) very well. Space debris ("meteors") coming through Earth's atmosphere undergo profound chemical changes due to heat from friction and chemical combination with the various components of Earth's atmosphere, even in the interior of a large meteor wherein the heat changes the crystalization of metal within the rock. This cannot happen on the moon. Specimens brought back from the moon are chemically, physically, and metallurgically unique to the moon (and other vacuum atmosphere bodies and very distinctive from the same type rocks which have arrived to Earth through the atmosphere.

Now, if someone wants to pick another science field in which "beliefs" are measured against fact, I might suggest evolution...

I am expected to believe that a government that allowed Watergate, Iran-Contra, Monica Lewinsky, and the Plame Affair to become exposed before the associated administration left office has managed to keep a fake Lunar landing "under wraps" for almost forty years?

Just for fuel to the fire.

I have an original 1969 moon landing edition of the Detroit News.

One of the minor stories in the same paper is the Ted Kennedy driving someone off a cliff scandal. Lost in the shadows of the lunar landing. Coincidence?

No, it was to cover up his other mistakes. Duh!

Maybe it wasn't a mistake

Alright, I am going to stay out of this...

Apparently I stand alone in my quest to lift the fish scales from everyone's eyes: There was no human landing on the moon.

Rebuttal to the rebuttal:

Weight- not an issue because the moon is one-sixth the earth's gravity, so robots and the rocks would be light and not have a major impact.

Technology not advanced- just an opinion, no facts to support this. By the way, we did retrieve specimens from Mars using robots only.

Fake Mars- there is nothing here to really fake, because we haven't yet put a human being on Mars, either.

Quote "We are not alone"
Reply: so far there is no evidence anywhere in the Universe that we have company. We are alone. We've had a few close calls, like suggested bacteria on the ALH84001 Mars meteroite and channels that look like water channels, suggestive of life. But, we are alone until evidence prooves otherwise.

My other point is that I am in the minority and when minority opinions exist that stand contrary to common belief, the majority tries to squash the other opinion for fear of revealing the TRUTH. So no matter what I say, it will be rebutted. Any additional rebuts will only confirm and extend what I am saying...

Go back in the thread and see the pictures I posted as evidence that the entire lunar landing was one BIG FARCE!

MC, I rebutt your rebuttal's rebuttal.

Technology-wise, I was at Cape Kennedy in February 1971 for the Apollo 14 lift-off to the moon (I had just returned from Vietnam, was going through Signal Officer Basic at Ft. Gordon [Fawt Gawdin], GA, made the trip to FL with some classmates.). Even though we were on the beach ten miles from the rocket, the thunder and noise made the ground tremble at the level of a 6.5 Richter. And the blaze of the Saturn rocket's exhaust was so bright that one could not look directly at it as it went up and up and up. No paltry little ICBM, that Saturn was headed far, far away. It wasn't a Hollywood production.



No we didn't.

Last, regarding philosophical disagreements and domination of the majority over the minority:

Just for a giggle I'll throw this out there. It wasn't robots....it wasn't human either........ever hear of AREA 51? Guess who was really going up there. They were used to it. We staged the show down here to make it look like we went, our little green guys made a weekend trip to the moon and brought back the stuff. They did this for us in payment for our help in keeping them "covered up" and allowing them to continue to make their "abductions".....you know it's lonely out in space
