I have always maintained the 50/50 stance on if the moon landing was a hoax or not. Originally for much of my life I 100% fully believed it really happened using late 60's cold war technology. But as the years dragged on, you would think a low hanging fruit like a Manned Lunar landing with modern technology would have been a no brainer. Then the way we land crafts on Mars, has been throwing a padded gooball with a parachute landing. Always struck me as odd, given that in the 60's they really nailed that controlled decent with thrusters. The whole Mars landing in the late 90's just seemed so backwards compared to the moon landing. Why didn't we send a bigger buggy, it could have gone places that the tiny Mars rover couldn't have?

One of the biggest arguments against the Lunar hoax was always. "It's the Government, you can't have a hoax perpetuated on the level it takes to pull of a Moon landing, and expect everyone involved to keep quiet."

Well the Scamdemic has proven, that even if those in the government do speak out and blow the whistle. If they get fired and rebuked by the media, and ridiculed, the public will also label that person a disgruntled crackpot.
So the way every Establishment, Government, Agency and Media has gone lockstep to push the myriad of false narratives surrounding the Corona Virus, the masks, the wash your hands, the vax, the social distancing, the snuffing out hospital patients to claim they were Covid casualties. It all exposes the Moon landing hoax in great detail.

btw, I have also always maintained that even if the Moon landing was hoax, the technology we gained from the space program was invaluable. And in those times during the cold war, Americans would not have wanted tax trillions spent, on sending shit in space to race the Russians in an Orbit sprint.

I'm still at 50/50, but the defense that too many people would squeal and reveal the hoax, has been debunked.

I think I read they had 5K of RAM, VIC-20 equivalent.


Not too far off.. They had 2K of ram, and it was magnetic core memory and ran at 2 Mhz and was discrete chips using RTL.

It's ridiculously primitive compared to even a toy computer by 1990.

Tha so-called 'moon rocks' were analyzed & proven to be petrified wood.


Says who?

You know it's easy to make a claim and have it travel. Ever hear something like:

"17 atheists didn't do 9/11, a bunch of religious people did"

? Because I coined that, and saw it multiple times when I was a harsh atheist. That traveled a bit and for years.

To say something has been "proved"? Mmm. I doubt it. Samples from the moon will be returned I think this year from a robotic pickup. If the mission hasn't been cancelled, I think it's a Chinese mission.

Another point, is the parallels between how Lefties today get violent to defend the narrative when it is questioned, is like how Aldrin, Armstrong and other Apollo Astronauts would coldcock someone that suggested the Moon landings weren't real. Rather than just laughing at them, shrugging your shoulder and say... "Well believe what you want to believe".

Which is how, most rational achievement reachers react to their doubters.

Are referring to that one time Buzz punched that guy who was up in his face while Buzz and wife were out to dinner? That had more to do with the guy bothering him and wife rather than any moon landing stuff.

The moon landing happened.
There are satellite pictures of stuff left there, e.g. cars and the portion of the landing modules.
Rocks were retrieved which are different from anything found on earth; they can’t fake those.

Tha so-called 'moon rocks' were analyzed & proven to be petrified wood. As for satellites - I think you mean satelloons (NASA is the biggest consumer of helium).


That's right. As we all know, moon "rocks" would be made out of cheese.

And the earth is flat, suspended on the back of a turtle. And, no, you smartypants, what's under the turtle? It's turtles all the way down.

The 'petrified wood' was an alleged moon rock given to Holland. They kept it as an exhibet in a glass case. I gather some observers looked at it askance, so they opened and analyzed it and found out it was petrified wood. That is pretty funny. "Thanks for the fake moon rock."

As always, we don't know the fully story.

If he was constantly being harassed, I don't blame him. The guy that got punched out was actually quite recalcitrant and didn't even attempt to press charges. I think he was an intelligence asset.

There's a common propaganda technique, known as "poisoning the well" in terms of logic, or "kookification" in propaganda. What they do is attempt to frame people who are doubtful of government claims as people who are crazy who (claim) doubt that government is telling the truth when they say water is wet. It's an attempt to cast people who are in the mindset of, say, "I don't think these vaccines are useful, safe, or effective" into the same group who claim "the earth is flat". It's done to dismiss ANY opinion that questions the government. They attempt to make the divide between "either you agree with everything the government claims, or you agree with all these people making unsupportable claims the government ALSO claims are false". They're making a false dichotomy.

LOL! Some of the far outs say that aliens use the Van Allen belts to sterilize the human race from space travel because we are too primitive and murderous


Van Allen Belt is not a monolithic thing. It ebbs and flows and there are "gaps" in it easily mapped out with 1950s radio technology.

Why? The US put Viking 1 on Mars in 1976 that send back panoramic pics.


And the Russians had the Venera probes that were the only landings on Venus. They are unlucky on Mars, but lucky on Venus. Until recently, we had the opposite issue.

The pressure on Venus is unbelievable - far more hostile than the Moon which is pretty much the same vacuum as the rest of space except for the most trace 'atmosphere. And the distance much further. If you can land a pressure resistant probe on Venus that can actually broadcast back to Earth, you can put men on the Moon and bring them back.

They have kilos and kilos of Moon rock and samples have been distributed to universities and some K-12 schools.

Pretty sure Russia and China have done sample returns from there as well. It would be trivial for somebody to compare them and detect an immediate difference. Oxygenated atmospheres change the lithosphere to an incredible degree.

Has anyone heard of LUNAR METEORITES? Basically moonrocks here on earth.

I never believed that nor the bit about Martian rocks here on Earth. To get here from Mars, something would have to knock a piece of Mars into escape velocity, then it would have to wander the incredible vastness of space between the planets and by chance hit Earth, then not burn up in re-entry.

Not only that, what sample would we compare it to?

It's a rock from Pulledofmyassafornia!

I think Viking was nearly a billion dollars in '76 dollars.
