The moon hoaxers are the ones who are claiming that we did not in fact land on the moon. By that logic, they must account for every single piece of evidence so far that explains why we landed on the moon. Quantum mentioned something about the Van Allen radiation belts, but Van Allen himself rebuked the idea that the radiation was too dangerous for the astronauts:
No, the Moon landing believers are making an extraordinary claim. The burden of proof is on them.

You can't "believe" it because it has happened. There are mountains of evidence. What more do you need? What other questions do you have that haven't been answered? After a while it becomes more ridiculous to believe it didn't happen than it did happen.

I'm not saying either way, Yuri. I just want to see some good answers to the questions raised in this thread. Look back through it and you'll see what I mean.

All questions have been answered "good".

Repeatedly.

Now how about providing some evidence showing that posters are being paid by NASA or the government? As you have repeatedly said.

Settle down, Wayne. Your continuing efforts to deflect attention from the subject by resorting to threats of banishment are exactly what I've been talking about. You need to step back and take a deep breath, and think about what you're doing.

You have been given a chance to support your accusations. You have refused to do so. End of story.
This is my last comment in the forum.

All questions have been answered. Every, single, absolute one. If you have any more questions, I'd be happy to answer them, as this is mankind's greatest accomplishment and everyone should be well informed of it. To believe that it was a hoax is not only an insult to the astronauts and engineers who worked so hard on this, it's an insult to America and what we as humans can achieve.

Also, were not getting paid by NASA or the government. We're just people with a little common sense and access to google ;)

It's never insulting to seek the truth, Yuri.

Now, I'm not taking sides here, but I've been following this thread and the Moon-landing doubters have made a lot of good points and have acted very reasonably, while the Moon-landing believers have resorted to ridicule and jokes. It's as if they have something to hide.

Specifically what questions are those that haven't been answered? Don't try to use emotional appeal to make it seem like those of us who "believe" the moon landings were real are somehow in the wrong.

If somebody claimed the Earth is flat, or the holocaust did not happen, then yes, they will be subject to ridicule due to the overwhelming evidence available. This is because they are ignorant and choosing to be irrational by claiming these things are false. If I said the sun was square then people would be laughing, what do you expect?

There are two sides here, one that recognizes and approves of the overwhelming data and logic, and another which chooses to ignore that and decides to be irrational.

You keep making libellous accusations that certain people are being paid to promote pro-moon landing propaganda. It has been demanded that you retract your accusations and as of yet you have not.

Comprende?

It looks like you are very close to being banned, Kerberos, so I would suggest you actually comply with the demands made upon you, rather than just claim you have complied.

Hi guys. I was just in the NASA Enforcement Division breakroom with some co-workers and they told me they had signed up for the new direct deposit plan. So, I went over to BUPERS and... oh....

<looks around>

Oops, wrong thread.



By the way, the idea that NASA or any secret agency has the money to hire personnel to do nothing but dump disinformation on website forums is simply ridiculous. SDC is a tiny community. There's no way anyone would dedicate personnel to sitting here, watching threads and waiting to pounce on them with a Disinfo Button. It's... just.. a really, unsmart notion that some government agency would dedicate that kind of manpower to "teh intrawebz." But, you can't tell the conspiracy crowd that; Oh no! There are boogey men lurking around every corner in their world. After all, if one of their hair-brained ideas is just too stupid for the internet, it must be some gubbermint agent's fault what did it... not their own inadequacies and lack of understanding.

Well, now, let's consider, Speedy. Throughout this entire thread, the pro-landing crowd has been taking shots at the doubters and calling them stupid, but let one person on the other side give a little back and suddenly you're offended. Yeah, I'm going to have to say that's a little hypocritical. :D

There is a big difference between a saying a person is misguided and saying someone is corrupt.

Re: Moon Landings Faked?

Do you NOT understand how the real world works? When you say something as ridiculous as we didn't land on the moon, people aren't going to take you very seriously.

Now I'm trying to be nice here, are there any questions that you have that have not been answered yet? You keep saying the moon hoaxers have made good points that have yet to be answered, specifically what points are you referring to? We don't want to discourage you from learning but please remember that science isn't a democracy where "both sides" deserve the same "fairness". One side is supported by the evidence, the other is not.

Re: Moon Landings Faked?

One other factor that can lead to an allergic reaction - If you state that a question has not been
answered, and a simple web search (or even a search within thead in which it is posted) shows
that it has. The reason that this leads to an allergic reaction is that it suggests that the person
doing the posting is not really interested in having the "unanswered" questions answered, but rather
wants to have a post that indicates that there are "unanswered" questions out there, and that
therefore fill-in-the-blank conspiracy must be true.

It also might suggest someone who wants to push a certain agenda but (a) Doesn't want to take
the time to actually research it and (b) Wants plausible deniability if/when it gets shot down.

Realize that many of the "unanswered" questions have been answered many times, on the web,
and in the pages of this forum. Imagine that you have answered a given question a dozen or
two times, and someone pops in asking it for the n + 1 time, and imagine further that they ask
as a "No one has addressed this question that I have seen", or worse yet "The community continues
to ignore this but" prefaced question. To expect that someone has an obligation to be gentle in
pointing out that their assumption is a tad off is a bit much. Yes, it would be nice if everyone
were as saintly as Calli is, but that is a little much to expect of normal lortals.

You assume that just because someone posts a response, that the question has been "answered" and no further discussion can be tolerated.

Discussion is plenty tolerated. Which responses do you think weren't adequate enough to adress the questions? I'd be happy to give you more information on the moon landings.

Not at all. I assume little because of the consequences thereof. :)

Again, further discussion is abetted with some degree of specificity. If there is something that someone says
that you have a question about, judicious quoting of that specific part of the response really helps.

Specificity in disagreement helps too. Stating something like

"I don't think the lighting works that way because ..."

will always work better than:

"You are just a tool for the global conspiracy"

:)
