That was mean. I mean they grew up on the moon, and then they go and bring them back here.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Didn't land on it though. As you said it orbited, went round the moon.

I see an obvious flaw in all of this though, I mean, you could bring it all back, but people still wouldn't believe you, they would say it was fake, that they were very clever replicas, or that if they were real, that they wouldn't actually tell us more than we already know.

 

[classic33]

...and if the Americans could've faked it, you'd expect the Russians'd've done it too.... and us, and the Germans.

We did do it. Think NASA East, Shepperton Studios, where 2001 was filmed.

Most of what was known about the moon, to NASA, came via a third party in this country. The British Interplanetary Society.

One of my friends thinks Lance Armstrong went to the moon loooool

One of my friends thought Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France!

(I suppose whether he did or not depends on your definition of 'winning'. Yes, he got round quickest several times; no, they didn't count!)

For the doubters how about pictures of the tracks left on the moons surface

Having mentioned NASA East earlier, and one of the products to emerge into the public arena from there. Three questions:
1. For each scene in any movie, how many times would that scene be practised/rehearsed & re-shot before those in charge were happy with the end product. Two - three, more?
2. What would happen to all the film used in getting those scenes just right?
3. Why were NASA involved in the making of a film, but never mentioned in the credits for that film?

 

[MontyVeda]

Right... hands up all those who truly believe the moon landings were faked... then the rest of us can point and laugh at you all

Answer the three questions above then.

 

[MontyVeda]

where's the snigger smiley

1. For each scene in any movie, how many times would that scene be practised/rehearsed & re-shot before those in charge were happy with the end product. Two - three, more? At least once, and often once, especially if Ed Wood is directing... and there's a big difference between rehearsing and 'shooting' a scene.
2. What would happen to all the film used in getting those scenes just right? They don't film the rehearsals, they don't like to waste film, because that's a big waste of money
3. Why were NASA involved in the making of a film, but never mentioned in the credits for that film? Were they really 'involved'? They might have been 'consulted' about certain aspects of space flight, but there's nothing unusual about that... films have researchers and researchers consult relevant bodies.

My question... why are you talking about 2001 ??? And do you really think* the footage from the moon and the scenes in the movie are comparable?

You really are at the bottom of the barrel with this one.

* I know you worry about my mind reading abilities, i am not trying to read you mind... 'think' is just a commonly used word.

Don't waste your time, MV. People who believe these moon/JFK/911 bollox conspiracies don't do so on the basis of facts, imaginary or otherwise - it is just their way of dealing with a difficult and uncontrollable world.

I've believed them all too... but after a little research and consideration, I've come to my own conclusions. We did go to the moon, the twin towers did collapse after being hit by aeroplanes, and I've no idea one way or the other about JFK.

 

[Velo711]

A Rocket did lift off a few days before the moon landing. Seems like a waste if it did not go to the moon.
Those planes did fly into the Towers. Oswald got off three shots. A recent re-enactment,showed a bullet glancing off of
a hanging traffic light, then ricocheting off a curb hitting a bystander in the cheek. All facts.
