This woman (?) is a rabid conspiracy theorist and says she has inside knowledge which is the biggest line of BS I ever heard, she won't even answer such questions as 'If the Russians had any wind of this supposed hoax, they would be the first one to plaster it over all the media'
If we never landed on the moon, the very same moon-hoax theorists would be screaming that we did land on the moon and that there is a conspiracy to cover it up. They're just nuts.
or 'the moon rocks themselves are proof we were there, we can't duplicate those rocks in a lab even now in the 21st century much less 40 years ago'. Those kind of questions go right over her head and any other hoax addict. Like you say, they are nuts pure and simple.
You can probably figure out the "woman" I am talking about. Jesus Wept.

Originally posted by olddogThe 'Moon Conspiratorists' are a complete insult to all those, not least the astronauts, who dedicated their lives to such a fantastic venture. To say to someone who actually orbitted or walked upon the Moon 'you are a liar' is disgusting.
does anything from the mars rover expeditions account for any mediocre proof, or the flybys beyond jupiter, or the interception of eros , etc

I have no doubt that people landed on the moon and that there are spacecraft on mars, but looking at the cost of such ventures (the latests lander is worth over US$ 300 million) would it be cheaper to actually build the craft and send it or to convincingly fake the whole thing?
It's the absurd notion that such an accomplishment could be faked successfully that makes the moon landing hoax conspiracy advocates so ridiculous. It just couldn't be done.

40 years ago many thousands of people were sworn to secrecy and faked the 6 Apollo moon landings. The countless thousands more who worked in the space program never suspected they were being fooled with a bogus project that didn't exist. In all this time, none of the people involved have ever come forward to talk. The Russians who eagerly monitored the phony space flights were completely taken in and didn't suspect a thing. It makes perfect sense to me.

Is there wind on the moon?
If not, how come the flag's waving?
Or maybe after spending billions to fake it, they left a fan on in the studio, then they aired it anyway because they didn't think all you sharpies out there would notice.
The rippling flag has been explained so many times it amazes me when someone mentions it. It's old news, been debunked, incredible that it keeps coming up with a new batch of suckers every so often who didn't get the word.
