Moon Landing: Faked or Legit?

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

So I just found out somebody in my life, who seemed to be a normal joe in every other way, is firmly convinced the moon landing was 100% fake.

So... what do you guys think?

We all know Kubrick staged the moon landing, but due to his perfectionism he filmed on location.

This is what happens when we allow space exploration to stagnate. Conspiracies take over!

can't you, like, see the american flag planted there with a telescope?

how does that get explained?

[neatoman]

It was staged... ON VENUS!!!

The moon is flat like the sun and magic space unicorn zebras drew it there.

They're very good artists, you know.



Edit: *Realizes she said sun, not Earth...* but I guess that too.

I think conspiracy theories are the new "gay" in how people react to you.

Used to, in less enlightened times, it was shocking for you to come home and say "Dad, I'm gay."

Now, it's "Dad, I believe the moon landing was faked." Or "Dad, the Earth is flat."

You just kinda stare at the person with your jaw agape... is this a prank? Are you for real? Do you realize how big a disappointment this is for your mother and me?

I think this topic borders on what you believe in, more than what someone else says. A lot of people on our planet would say "Yes, we did", while the other folks would happily say, "Oh no - we did not land on the Moon. It's all fake."

Jesus, guy, if you're this bored there's other things to do. Like whip donuts at the homeless.

C'mon.

Current Events, fellas

I demand to know who the one chucklef*ck is who voted, so I can immediately dismiss anything and everything that they ever say, forever.

SHOW YOURSELF! I got no time to be playin' detective.

[IndigoErth]

Not I.

But I hold you personally accountable for making me want donuts. The glazed chocolate cake sort to be exact.

[Mayhem]

Of course we did. Or more precisely NASA did. Most telling part is that at no point during the 60s and 70s did the Russians ever argue or counter that America had not got there, and if they were confident in that fact... don’t understand how anyone else could not be either.

Not really, it’s been bleached by the sun after a few years. It will just be white instead for the most part.

Oh, lordy.

I've never had relations with a pastry but those would be at the top of the list.

Ya damned donut fvcker. No wonder Krispy Kreme has your photo on the wall with "DO NOT SERVE" in big red letters.

[Leo656]

NJ doesn't have Krispy Kreme to my knowledge. SO HUH.

Although I may or may not have had a gangbang with Mrs. Entenmann and her daughters. Man, that was some crazy Yom Kippur!

The astronauts put mirrors there. We can actually reflect lasers of it to test the speed of light. Apparently, it's not impossible to get the right equipment and do it from your backyard, though I'd imagine it's a bit pricey.

When I first read the title I assumed a former user was back or Andrew was being Andrew again.

Having a slow day at work, Cylons?

Nah, amigo, I was genuinely curious to know if there were any "hell yeah, man, it's all smoke and mirrors!" people on here.

It really caught me off-guard yesterday. Of all the people I spend time with, coming from this individual was NOT something I would have predicted.

[Leo656]

I once knew a guy - honors student - who was of the opinion that, "I'm sure we've been there by NOW, but back then it was all just propaganda to put us ahead of the Russians."

Some people are just obtuse, even if they're selectively brilliant in other areas.
