Why would anyone want to land on the moon anyway? Surely a piece of cheese that old would be well past it's expiry date and very smelly.

 

[grumpyoldgit]

Possibly because that's the photo he (as did I) thought of?

Possibly,but he wouldnt know what anybody is thinking.
Man has been playing tricks with a camera since it was invented,so trickery with a lens is nothing new.
I thought the guy from Hassleblad (spelling?) had some interesting comments.

Well I didn't.

 

[Glow worm]

Well I didn't.

Quite right too - you should've been in bed.

Give us a clue ...

I used to like that.....

The moon landing conspiracies always make me laugh. If they had been faked you'd think that the Russians may have made a bit of a song and dance about it, seeing as they lost that particular race (about the only one they did lose in that particular field).

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

What makes you think that?Are you a mindreader?
You have no idea what someone else is thinking.

no I'm not a mind reader... just capable of reading.

how did they get the pictures of Earth from the moon

I used to like that.....

I dont think Una Stubbs has ever been to the moon

 

[Markymark]

I always go along the lines of...

It's probably cheaper/easier to go to the moon than it would have been to fake and maintain the lie to so many people (I believe somehting like 40,000) who worked on it for so long.

Even today,decent cgi is dearer than building a set ,props & set dec dress it & having sfx do their stuff.

To those who claim NASA’s moon landings were faked, Neil deGrasse Tyson has said, “Atop 3,000 tons of rocket fuel, where else do you think they were headed?” xkcd goes on: “If NASA were willing to fake great accomplishments, they’d have a second one by now

 

[classic33]

OKAY, OKAY.... so if they didn't land on the moon, how did they get the pictures of Earth from the moon in the days before Photoshop?

How about using a machine sent there. Similar in the way they're providing pictures of the surface of Mars at present.

Didn't they do it more than once!

Explain NASA East. Also known as Shepperton Studios!!
NASA advising the makers of "2001: A space Odyssey" on what to expect conditions to be like when they got to the moon. This information based on information supplied by the British Interplanetary Society. And all before they'd "set foot on the moon".

They took some FROM the moon and others FROM Space!

No no no, that will surely be some sort of fake too, don't be so naive!!

Honestly, they can send probes to Mars, send satalites to the outer reaches of the Solar System, and yet, we can't even visit the Moon? Yeah right, pull the other one!

 

[Foghat]

Not another one.

Continued moon-landing conspiracy advocacy is a good way of filtering cretins into the 'astoundingly dense' bin.

It seems to me that no matter what you did to try and convince these people, it would NEVER be good enough. You could probably send them all there, and they still wouldn't believe it, or, when they got back, they themselves would now be part of some sort of conspiracy spouted by those who never got to go
