Moon landing deniers.

All they did was understand the laws of physics and find ways to get around them. There was nothing complicated about that, it was just a very large and costly physics experiment. They were lucky nothing went wrong because they had no backup; as posted above I doubt they would be allowed to take that much risk nowadays.

Neil Armstrong wouldn't have fluffed his line if the landing had been faked.

Just another detail thrown in to lend authenticity.

Anyway, last month they denied he fluffed it and said that on the original tapes you can hear the "a".

Well my mate borrowed a five metre dish so there.

Bet he didn't. Bet it was 9 yards and sixpence.

He'd be one of many.

With 1969 technology I remember working out that you needed at least 2 1/2 metres to receive the main sound intelligibly. I'm not sure what was needed to resolve the TV picture, but I remember that some people did.

I went round to listen to it on the second landing, watched the first one on telly at home.

I read an article a few years back where one of the denyers claimed that the Americans had used a network of dishes and high power transmitters around the earth to send signals to the moon so they'd be reflected back off the surface to fool the rest of the world into believing they'd come from a lunar orbiter. That's the most plausible *faking it* theory I've heard yet because its the only one that explains how poeple all round the world could have picked up the signals from the moon if the landings were faked!

It's easy when people WANT to believe it. Space race, goddam Commies, Beautiful USofA and all that. No mobile phones, no dig cameras, iffy communications full stop.

It would have been a lot MORE effort to actually land there than not!

It would have been a lot MORE effort to actually land there than not ... and bribe every third party observer on the planet enough to be part of the conspiracy and ensure that not one of them leaked details of the conspiracy!

More fake pictures from NASA ?

That'll be all those people who didn't observe it then? Like all the people who, even if it happened, didn't observe it, yet still seem to have no trouble being convinced.

People who want to believe are very easily led. D-Day deception to Chernobyl, WMD to SWT time-table, history is full of utter bull that people believe.

OK then, consider this. The Russians were perfectly capable of observing the whole journey and monitoring signals and didn't claim it hadn't happened. So presumably the Russians were part of an American conspiracy.

Edit to add - I've just noticed the list of other conspiracies at the bottom of your post. Yes, I know your tongue was firmly in cheek when you posted but the simple fact of third party observers being around at the time should indicate to all the conspriacy theorists that it was not a fake. (of course the nature of conspiracy theorists is that they'll believe anything and any evidence to the contrary is proof that you are part of the conspiracy)

Not just the Russians!

My Uncle Norman must be in on it too! He's a shifty old bugger though - wouldn't surprise me.

Probably chief conspirator then.

The ruskies owed the septics one, because the latter kept stchum about the whole dead dog in orbit thing, even though they intercepted the traffic and knew that it was dead on day 3.

Which is another nice example of fooling all the people.

This is getting boring, can we move on to the CIA shooting Kennedy?
