Well thank god for that. I was actually starting to wonder if it was a hoax.

pretty poor debunking id say. i think we went to the moon but if you ask me, the conspiracy is not whether or not we went or not.

I never got that "running argument". Who said it shoudnt look like they`re running on earth when you fast forward it? Why does it mean its bullshit just because it looks like theyre running on earth when you fast forward it?

I remember watching a video a few years ago about the moon landing being a fake. When they interviewed the nutcases, their trailer house could be seen directly behind them.

i`m still not convinced either way... I wasn`t convinced for the conspiracy side or this side on the argument of the non-star issue...there is absolutely no civilization on the moon so no `city` lights at all and I know when I leave the city and go out to a rural area there are billions of stars til no end... that, in my opinion, debunks this... even the last part... perhaps, according to the conspiracy theorists, the moon is an ancient, artificial creation whereas the knowledge of the reflectors was already known thus revealed and used by the then placed laserheads today...

it requires more investigation.

They have a bright `studio light` like they said and are still on earth...hrm..

Moon landing conspiracy theorists are bunch of armchair engineer hippies.

The fact is whether or not any of you are convinced, you can go fuck yourselves because no one cares what you think anyway.

i can understand though how from their points of view, why skeptics think the way they do. imagine if your co-worker said he went to antarctica by himself and he has plane/boat tickets/receipts and photographs as proof. maybe he has penguin poo or a souvenir as more proof. how exactly can you confirm that he really went there? photos could be `shopped, souvenirs could be acquired without being there 1st hand. with something that is difficult to verify first hand, any doubt would be even more difficult to dispell. of course this is not a perfect analogy, but i think this is the sort of thinking that goes through doubters` minds

but then again, nothing is 100%. imagine if your best friend all your life told you his name was fred, but it was really roger. it is improbable but not impossible that he lied to you all these years, his family lied to you, his government/school/work documents have been forged with the fake name. what if the color you have come to know as blue was really green, because your parent and teachers lied to you, and all the books and literature that have referred to the colors green and blue were misleading? is there any way to prove it? nothing can be proven 100%, only proven to a point where things are accepted as true. that`s why i think the apollo missions really took place, but some ppl either need more proof to be convinced, are paranoid, think it`s cool to dissent, or a combination of the above

We gather detailed data from that mirror we left up there. How much more proof do you want?

Thank god someone finally demonstrated such simple information that most should know by the 5th grade. Stupid conspiracy degenerates.

Most of the conspiracy theorists don`t realize how many tests that were done on the moon.

You don`t see any stars in the country during the day. All the Apollo missions were during daylight, and while the moon doesn`t have an atmosphere to turn the sky blue it would be very bright, notice the reflective visors they wear.

stbasdf
If your friend was one of the two richest men in the world racing to be the first one to Antarctica for world bragging rights, and when your friend came back with all his proof, and the other guy gave up and didn`t say that he was full of shit. I would probably believe him

Yay, they put my favourite argument as the last one. Seriously, where else did we get all the knowledge about the moon? From the conspiracy theorist`s ass?

The lunar reflector is a perfect example of evidence for moon landing, it was through laser reflections that allowed scientist to know that Moon is slowly moving away from the Earth. It was that and the hundred of pounds of moon rocks that allowed scientists to figure out that the moon was formed from a mars-sized planet colliding with the Earth.

Moon hoax my ass.

Instead of trying to disprove any evidence that it did happen, why don`t skeptics(a.k.a. creationists) try to give us some solid proof that it didn`t happen. Like a picture of the landing site without the tracks and flag and laser reflector. All I see is proof that it did happen. Especially the classic argument that the light shined where shadows should be?? Only an idiot looks at the moon at night and can`t realize the suns rays BOUNCE OFF OF THE MOONS SURFACE to illuminate it. The moon is a MOON and the sun is the STAR, if you don`t understand the difference, there`s no hope for you. Don`t you feel a bit stupid after that, and accept the fact you shouldn`t try to compete/argue with very intellegent people that are the science community. (ehmm, creationists...)
