mmm yep  he is more on than off

I believe Nimbin is on the "It happened" side...

In my defence.... ON my puter.

Thanks for the kool links sydney!!!

in your defence huh, im not going there

About 5 years ago I actually served Buzz Aldren at a restaurant I was working at

Did the customers like him?

Was he on toast, or with a side salad?...

Funny thing is he was here for the Opening ceremonies at a very private airfield for the rich and when he landed his plane he crashed into something. He wasnt seriously injured but he did have a bandage on his forehead

I wonder if the new google moon shots could clear of this up for the non-believers?

those guys/gals are really something, blasting off in space like that. me no way, I don't even like roller coasters.

Do you have proof  snow white?   And I'm not talkin the pics they use..... Other wise? I am definitely allowed an opinion.  Or is that also wrong to you nimbin....  What are you so afraid of?  Me thinks they do protest 2 much

well smart ass, the proof that the landings DID take place certainly outweigh any proof that they didn't. And no i didn't say you could not have an opinion. read what i said again. I am not afraid of anything and the fact that you say that just proves to me that your nothing but a windbag with nothing better to do. Grow up

All the name calling and uppity violence,,,tch tch poor minbim

The best rebuttal to allegations of a "Moon Hoax," however, is common sense. Evidence that the Apollo program really happened is compelling: A dozen astronauts (laden with cameras) walked on the Moon between 1969 and 1972. Nine of them are still alive and can testify to their experience. They didn't return from the Moon empty-handed, either. Just as Columbus carried a few hundred natives back to Spain as evidence of his trip to the New World, Apollo astronauts brought 841 pounds of Moon rock home to Earth.

"Moon rocks are absolutely unique," says Dr. David McKay, Chief Scientist for Planetary Science and Exploration at NASA's Johnson Space Center (JSC). McKay is a member of the group that oversees the Lunar Sample Laboratory Facility at JSC where most of the Moon rocks are stored. "They differ from Earth rocks in many respects," he added.

"For example," explains Dr. Marc Norman, a lunar geologist at the University of Tasmania, "lunar samples have almost no water trapped in their crystal structure, and common substances such as clay minerals that are ubiquitous on Earth are totally absent in Moon rocks."

"We've found particles of fresh glass in Moon rocks that were produced by explosive volcanic activity and by meteorite impacts over 3 billion years ago," added Norman. "The presence of water on Earth rapidly breaks down such volcanic glass in only a few million years. These rocks must have come from the Moon!"

I suppose they had the rocks shipped to Earth by UPS.

Like I said. Talk to the Apollo 13 guys. You think they really staged a accident in space for ratings or to dupe Americans and the world? Not likely...

Yup, one of the 'hoax theorists' claimed he had contacted and interviewed the FedEx driver who went up there to collect the moon rocks.  Apparently he soiled his space suit when he thought that he heard the 'man in the moon' talking to him, and thus he smelled a bit off when he got back to the depot.

I suppose it is plausible!!  I mean, those airconditioned hybrid vans are great on long trips.  And yeah, I woulda crapped in my suit if I heard: "WTF are are you doing?" while I was bending over picking up rocks.

Wow,, just wouldn't imagine that this discussion would still be going on.  I have my own opinions just like everyone else, but really.  There are a whole lot or more important things going on in our personal lives that deserve the attention this thread is getting.  That's not to say that what peoples opinions don't mean anything, they do. 

The problem is that not everyone is going to be right in this discussion, in fact there may not even be a yes or no answer.  Hmmmm, now what do I mean by that?  So far the discussion has only centered on did we or did we not walk on the moon.  The technoloby of the day would have allowed us to send unmanned craft to moon and bring them back, think about it.

Oh crap, what have I done.

what???

The "known" technology of the day.

It's a fact that what the public knows about and where we actually are technologically speaking are two different realities.  The F117 program was started in the late 60's early 70's, but didn't get revealed publicly until the early 90's.  The F-22 has been on the boards since the 80's...
