Is it really true that man never really walked on the Moon?

I'm not only a Jedi Ninja, I'm also an anarchist. I like to stir the pot. Upheave society. Vote "no" in internet polls just to mess with people.

However, you may have noticed that most anarchists dress like ninjas (in black, with covered faces) so it's a natural fit.

The internet is serious business!

So anyway, here's my evaluation of who ACTUALLY thinks the moon landings were all fake, with the likely suspects in bold:

ClubFlames - unsure, but name resembles Glenflame so maybe
djwazzy - possible as DJ's are bad at math
EDBTZ12 - messin' with us
GirlySports - bad girl! playin' games again
Glenflame - unfortunately telling the truth
HotHotHeat - full of it and by "it" I don't mean beans
jammies - guy's a lying liar that lies
Jedi Ninja - these are not the shuriken you're looking for
moncton golden flames - doubt it, as unlike his less famous brother "moncton golden flamer", is both super smart and a scientist
mots - unsure, clamato is a notoriously fickle juice
Raekwon - smarter than that by a whisker
sclitheroe - instigator and villain, so probably
stang - Oiler's fan so possible
Suzles - evolution no, moon landing yes
Top Shelf - where mamma hides the Tang, so no
Winsor_Pilates - unstable and dangerous, do not approach. Definitely.

I think it's most likely that the Americans landed on the moon. There was motive to fake it though, so every once in a while I think maybe.... just maybe they did fake it. If I had to bet on it, I'd pick, "true - they landed on the moon".

My main reason for saying "probably real" is I tend to really trust my ability to tell when people are lying, and the astronauts seem very honest to me. I know, not scientific, but I trust my instinct.

The thing that kills me is that in a very early post, Glenflame predicted a 2:1 ratio of believers to non-believers. I've been waiting all day to see if he's off by an order of magnitude. If half the 'no's are lying then it is more like 20:1 which is about what I would have thought.

A good friend of mine was dating a girl who had no idea that humans had gone into space...ever. He was absolutely gobsmacked when she told him that she didn't believe it had happened....

The strange thing was that she was studying for a masters believe it or not...

Now, I didn't read the entire thread so if it's already been mentioned, I apologize. Anyways, in a matter of sheer coincidence I'm sure, Discovery has their special about the lunar landing on tonight. If you haven't seen it yet I'd definitely recommend it. Pretty interesting to watch.

[ResAlien]

No, it's not a coincidence, Today was the anniversary of the Lunar landing, and this TROLL decided to start up a thread. I'm kinda loaded and irritated he's been tolerated to this point. He's abandoned the thread it seems, our resident conspiracy nuttos are leaving it alone, my vote is for an awesome lock. Of course, after a bunch of random 70's/80's singer pics that is.

^ I'm out of thanks. Sorry User title policeman. But point taken, I see el trollo (that's spanish) is gone. I look forward to waking up to a bunch of Missdpuck's posts in the random thoughts thread now. All is right in the world.

The US government allowed Pearl Harbor to happen.
The US government covered up what happened in Roswell.
The US government faked the moon landing.
The US government killed JFK.
The US government orchestrated the Oklahoma City bombing.
The US government orchestrated 9/11.

Damn that US government! They're so good! They'd be perfect if they didn't just let those stupid little mistakes reveal everything!!!

"Who the hell forgot that there's no air on the f*$king moon!? Damn it, you ruined everything!!"

AH! Okay that makes more sense then. I thought it was rather weird that all this would be going down on the same day. Thanks man, I can sleep easy tonight knowing all is right in CP-land.

Don't forget about the infamous Tri-Cola commission which was headed by president Ronald Regean, Illuminati leader Walt Disney III (a baby eating clone of the original) and mass murderer Charles Manson. This shadowy power cabel ordered the removal of the original coke and replaced it with New Coke creating the famous flavor Crisis. Then the cabel made billions by ordering the re-introduction of classic coke.

The profits from operation syrup were then funneled into the creation of the Atari 2600 an insidious mind control device that enslaved the youth of America with such classic games as space invaders, stick ball and pong 2000

There was a 1 hour special proving the landing happened. The guy proving everything basically manhandled everyone's conspiracy's. Funny how all the people they interviewed who thought it didn't happen were all hillbillies.

I forget what it is called, just google it. Everything was "busted". It happened, get over it.

If you mean pictures of it from earth? There's no telescope with that kind of resolution. Even the Hubble pointed right at the moon wouldn't be able to see it, though they have taken pictures of the area with Hubble. (The picture of the vehicle on the moon isn't from the Hubble, it's from when they were there)

Eventually the LRO will be able to take pictures of the sites:

If you squint at the picture on the left, it is clearly a scary human face! NASA is covering up evidence of a scary civilization on the moon!

It looks angry, too!

Sadly this would not change the minds of most of the conspiracy theorists. You are assuming they would change their position based on evidence, which clearly is not the case. If NASA sent a probe to take pictures they would get dismissed by conspiracy theorists as fake just as quickly as they claim everything else to be.

exactly. there's no real point in arguing with them.
Fly them to the moon and let them inspect it themselves and they'll say it wasn't from the '69 moon landing but was later planted as a cover.
