    It goes to show that if you have enough time on your hands then you can disprove anything even up to the point of if we exist or not. The argument that the technology was insufficiant falls flat as humanity has managed to do many thing without the slightest of scientific understanding of how they work until much later (powered flight for example). The rest is just enough to keep people paranoid just enough to miss the real actions of their government. Also don't forget that most of all conspiracy theorists are American, a nation of borderline psychopaths.

    Who knows. Everything ever done by the USA has been followed by many conspiracy theories. I would like to believe they did actually go to the moon. After all, what is really the point in lying? Well OK there was a good reason. The space race between the USA and USSR. But later Russia admitted they had no real interest in getting to the moon as they knew there wasn't much there.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    No, there's no strange facts. Just strange physics.

    Saw the documentary a while ago. Basically disproved everything, using mostly examples you can copy yourself if you didn't believe it. Flag is too light to unfold from it's own weight on the moon, you can't see stars if there is a brighter lightsource present ie the moon's surface. Same reason you can't see stars here when the sun is up.

    Conspiracy nuts, people with way too much time on their hands in my opinion.

    Just remember that since the '70's US military intelligence worked on the idea that if they cannot find the secret technology of the enemy that prooves it exists. This is a mentality that has crept down to all americans and has led to the state of the world today. A little distrust of politicians and government is fine, anything else is madness.

    This is the same as that Fox documentary that was on C5 a few years back right?

    I personally found it a load of rubbish, and I believe man has been on the moon. It just happens that I watched a programme on the moon on BBC Four last night, and it showed scientists investigating rock samples retrieved from the moon during an Apollo mission, which they described as being unlike anything on earth and formed in a totally different way - I find it hard to believe that they could keep the secret amongst a larger group than just those involved in the Apollo mission themselves (still a very large number) without someone coming out and saying something.

    I love this bit: "One of the earthrise photos. The Flat Earth Society used these photos as evidence of a faked landing, since they show a spherical Earth." Damn I wanna shoot those people.....

    I don't dispute this quote.
    So how could such a nation get themselves normal for long enough to do something like land on the moon in that day and age?

    Brilliant.
    Using one conspiracy theory to disprove another.
    Now that's what I call commitment to the cause.

    They didn't get to the moon, after all it is made of cheese (Wendsleydale, to be precise)
    This is not a signature

    IIRC they decided it wasn't Wendsleydale.
