Cyclechat investigates...the Moon landings

This is evidence of a man walking on the moon, the moon admits a spaceman walked on him, straight from the horses mouth
Also why they stopped going there, NASA couldn’t make head nor tale of the moons strange ramblings

I was only one and a half, so don't remember it, although my Dad assures me I watched it on the box.

It could be a hoax, but if it is then who has been up there and deposited the Apollo remains and astronauts footprints on the surface? Even our finest robots couldn't do that for us today.

And very few people know about the Irish mission to put a man on the Sun. People scoffed at the time, saying that they would be burnt to a frazzle, but the had a cunning plan - they went at night.

They made a documentary about it too,

The first attempt ended in tragedy when the rocket went up, faltered and crashed to earth in a Dublin graveyard, the police recovered 387 bodies from the wreckage.
And I’ll get me coat now......

I never find 'Irish jokes' funny unless they're told by an Irishman.

I'm not going to talk about the actual event as that's better mentioned on Saturday,which is the 50th anniversary of the the first moon landing. Listening to conspiracy theories over the years has made me slightly think that maybe it was faked. I'd go for 85% real and 15% faked if someone asked me if I was 100 percent sure it happened.

I was sure I'd seen it on the school telly too, but I can't have because it was at 9:20pm in the middle of the school holidays.
Anyone with the power to plant such false memories could easily fake a moon landing. Definite hoax.

I too remember seeing it on the telly at primary school. Roundabout lunchtime or early afternoon? All gathered together in the hall. Maybe I was aware it was a rerun, I don't remember.
Though i collected various stuff to do with it I very much have the impression that it was more amazing to adults than us kids. Kids take so many things for granted I think, because they have so little idea of the past I suppose. Earlier in the space prog, maybe couple of years before, I also remember a teacher pondering whether it was a great waste of money and effort. Lots of probs back down on earth in the states if course.

In all honesty your teacher was right, it was a waste of money & effort, however as part of the bigger picture set against the Cold War, it was just another battle in the ultimate goal of bankrupting the Soviet Union & the other eastern block countries by forcing the Soviets to be involved in the space & arms race that they couldn’t really afford, it was just a waiting game, hoping that no one pushed the button and blew the world to kingdom come first.

I'm in the hoax camp. If man did land on the moon, where where the Clangers? They did not feature in any of the footage from the moon.

 

[steveindenmark]

It was real because I want to believe it was real.

Apart from that Niel Armstrong was obnoxious at times and someone involved in NASA with a grudge, would have grassed him up by now.

 

[DCBassman]

It was real, because the technology to fake it literally did not exist, certainly not in cinematography.
Appreciate this is a light-hearted thread, but nonsense like fake moon landings and anti-vaxxers makes my blood boil.
I shall henceforth retire to the mechanics thread...

I must be the only one that does not even care.All i see since 1969 is a crap hole world and society.Landing on the Moon has done nothing apart from gadget technology.Real or Fake underwhelmed.
