  • Hey Kent, let's keep it friendly - I never said I had to see it with my own eyes to believe it, did I?
  • Anyway, I'm off to see some Spitfires and a Hurricane now - I believe they exist because I can see them with my own two eyes. :-)

    i'm keeping it friendly, I'm just getting frustrated with the fact you keep turning a blind eye to facts.

    Enjoy the spitfires and hurricanes! Why can't we fly them ourselves? I mean, we're a lot more advanced now...

    Bing, Kent, Henry, we won't agree. I want to believe man went to the moon. I started reading about hoaxes and that one piece of evidence made me personally question it. Another thing which had me questioning it was that, when asked Obama said it would take at least 20 years for America to gear up for another moon shot. Given how much more advanced we are these days you do wonder how they were able to do it in such a short space of time in the 1960s between Kennedy's speech and the landing in '69.

    SL, the problem for me is created by the word "evidence" in that sentence. The assertions made in that programme about a number of issues are just that - assertions. Assertions does not equal evidence. It isn't peer checked. It's not where the balance opinion both lay and professional sits. If it was the whole of our history would require re - writing and all of those who had to make this conspiracy theory work would be held up as liars and charlatans. This is just not evidence that remotely passes any kind of a test of reasonableness.

    That's Capricorn One. A great story but just imaginery.

    If you've got enough money and a licence, you can - the ones at Biggin Hill all fly and can be rented.

    but we're so much more advanced now, why would i need money and a licence?

    The "HD" question was not a new question - it was to do with the reliability of communications. The point is, if they could've made the communications clear they would have. The fact is that they did not have the technology to do that and with communications that "grainy" would you really be able to control a camera on the moon with pretty much split second timing? Rockets are not slow you know.

    Obama may not be a rocket scientist but he would not have made that comment off the cuff - he's not John Prescott - he would have been advised before he said anything.
    As I said, you ignore the evidence and rational explanation and go on to the next question because you want to believe the hoax story.

    I've basically explained to you how, using a simple circuit and a radio switch reciever it would only take 1.3 seconds for some one on earth to move a remote control camera on the moon. Stop ignoring basic facts.

    AFFECT is a verb - this hay fever affects me most in August.

    EFFECT is not (for the sake of this point) a verb - look at the effect this hay fever has on me in August.

    Chances are you will use AFFECT more than EFFECT so if in doubt just start it with an A.
    Thanks @jaShea99 - although why I thought to ask this question in the middle of a conspiracy theory thread is beyond me, just popped into my head.

    He wont though because in his mind the conspiracy story is so more exciting than the reality. Dark forces hoodwinking the masses for some (unknown) gain.

    Personally I think the brilliant science, invention, and technology story of getting people onto the moon is so exciting, why would you want to touch it. but each to their own.

    You certainly don't.

    Try and look up the difference between 'weight' and 'mass', then move onto the definitiions of 'force', 'momentum' and 'terminal velocity'.

    Finally have a look at Newtons 1st, 2nd and 3rd Laws of motion

    Then come back to this thread and we can chat about how the fires effected the building structure after the initial impacts.

    i once knew a girl who didn't believe dinosaurs ever existed. It's not because she thought the alternative was more exciting, but rather she couldn't get her mind round the earth being that old and things existing that long ago. From what i can tell, that's more SL's issue than any sense of excitement.

    Now you're talking. didn't you know that the Earth only came into being 10,000 years ago and that dinosaurs are just God's little joke to confuse us all. ...or maybe dinosaurs and mankind existed side by side and the rock strata got a bit mixed up. or something.
  • This thread's not half as funny as it used to be.

    I knew they would find a way of silencing the masses and moving the subject onto safer ground I but didn't expect them to be that subtle.

    Although I note BenHamersBeard99 has mysteriously disappeared from circulation...all very strange I tell you.

    I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, but for those doubters of the moon landings, there is the Lunar Laser Ranging experiment. They left a series of reflectors up there so they could accurately measure the distance between the moon and the earth. The reflectors are still working, all you would need is a very powerful laser, some highly sensitive monitoring equipment and a hollowed out volcano as a base.

  • For information, remote cameras were developed in 1942 in Germany to monitor V2 rocket launches. Remote cameras have been commercially available for CCTV, etc. since mid 50s. For the Apollo missions a remote camera system was developed and attached to the Lunar Rover which was left behind. The Rover was fitted with an high frequency S-Band dish which transmitted live shots from the moon and allowed NASA to control the camera. There is no mystery to it. Does that allay your worries?

    As others have said, the simplest story is probably the true one.
    Which fits in with a moon landing conspiracy. German scientists were given the choice of hanging at Niremburg or working for Uncle Sam on the appollo missions.
    It was nazi technology that contributed to putting man on the moon.

    just about every technology developed by any side in any war was taken and used by the victor. Just because they had a despicable ideology and practices doesn't mean the information they collected isn't useful.

    Not quite but that's not a conspiracy, it is a well known fact.

    The US took some of the German scientists who'd worked on the V1 and V2 rockets home with them. The Russians did the same with any useful experts they found.

    The US also had a lot of Jewish and anti-nazi scientist that the Germans had expelled or scared off in the 30s working on the bomb.

    i heard some geezer called Albert Einstein was in that group

    You can actually see the ones left by Apollo 11 with a decent domestic telescope.

    Are you genuinely oblivious to how precisely you fit the bill described early on in this thread? It's entertaining as much as it is frustrating. The most pertinent point earlier was that you just ask questions. No evidence, just questions. Like your lack of comprehension should somehow undermine everybody else's beliefs. It's a bit mad.

    So what your saying is the only conspiracy theory I ever really understood was in fact common knowledge all along.

    D'oh.

  • I wonder what bloodline that is meant to be : - (

    Come on Henry, you and I both know that the bloodline going abck thousands of years means that all Western Europeans are descended from Charlegmagne.

    Now apart from making him one busy boy it also means that we are all guilty of these atrocities. Trying to deny your birthright is like the OP trying to prove he's not a Nigel. We know the truth. J'accuse you, me and everyone else on this forum and don't bother trying to deny it;)

    That is just a myth (which is different to a conspiracy)

    Surely you must realise, no one remember poor Markus Garvey.
