Found this in my feeds this morning


On Wednesday August 27th, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, Mythbusters will take on one of the biggest myths ever, that the Apollo Moon landings were faked.

Adam and Jamie will tackle the photos and the claim that they were shot in a studio as well as look at claims that the video footage of the astronauts 'hopping' around the moon were created by simply slowing down footage shot on Earth. Grant, Tori, and Kari will take on how the footprint could be so defined and how the flag could flutter in a such dry, vacuum world. Finally Adam and Jamie will travel to New Mexico to see if they can see catch a reflection off one of the three laser reflectors left on the moon at the Apollo landing sites by the astronauts.

Since 2001, when FOX aired a television show called, "Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?" the myth that the Apollo Moon landings were faked has become part of the cultural fabric. As an indicator of the sagging level of scientific literacy in the United States, it is akin to the efforts to teach creationism alongside evolution. BadAstronomy.com has a point-by-point rebuttal of the arguments from the Fox program, but since most of the 300 million Americans don't read Phil Plait's blog, the Mythbusters' program is a welcome champion of scientific inquiry.

Who knows but maybe we may finally get some definitive answers but alas in my opinion the show may just end with just as many unanswered questions and we get left in an even darker limbo..

bunk hotdog... Catastrophe has been broadcast live from cape Canaveral before. Remember seeing the shuttle blow apart?

I think ya just posted some transcript thought to be Neil Armstrong, and now you here saying he was never there. You cannot possibly think both ways.

I dont thing reasoning stated to be any sort of argument against NASA landing on the moon. You know, its one thing to think they did not go to the moon but... If NASA *did* fake it they would probably just keep it simple and release a few photos, and that would be it. Truth is, they did ALOT more science than that and their is tons of data to prove it. And what about the rover? Do ya think NASA just spent millions on that just for a hoax, or entertainment value? My uncle worked for NASA/Marshall in Huntsville, AL and was one of the engineers who built the rover back in the day. If it were all a hoax, why would they spend millions/billions on mil spec equipment that would never be required to fool the public. Those things are real, not imitation plastic like Hollywood. The extra equipment and science that NASA did, would not be a requirement to pull off a hoax.

Also.. these ppl sitting here analyzing moon pics from apollo saying "Oh a moon base", "Oh a dome", "Oh alien artifact".. if they don't believe apollo was ever there, then why even bother to look at the pics.

Not sure why it's so hard for ppl to believe we have been there, done that.. Several times even. Especially, when there is credible science to back it up. Well, yeah lets just see what the mythbusters have to say about it. Should be good.

Anyways, Good post.. thanks.

My thoughts exactly,i think we did go to the moon but alot of pics,video's and audio were done before hand to escape any embarassing slip up's.
Could you imagine if something went wrong live on national tv..

back on topic

I like mythbusters but i think it will not really give us the answers we want and like someone said..would they air it if something new was reaveled??

The moon's gravity is one-sixth that of the Earth's. Some people thing there is no gravity on the moon which is false. If there were no gravity, moon dust would float off into space. You will also see astronauts shuffling on their tip toes which is a pretty good indication their weight was significantly less on the moon. (despite the heavy suit) ; a man who weighs 180 lbs on Earth weighs only 30 lb on the Moon. You may have thought there were wires, but fact is.. he is significantly lighter. Make sense?

And those Rover rooster tails have a strange arc for the very same reason... this debris is super light-weight, but it will still fall back to the surface but at a slower rate than on earth.

If you are on the fence about this topic, take a few minute and research the real science.. There is tons of it. We know a wealth of information about the moon because why??? we have been there and done that... 6 times. If you believe the lunar exploration was a hoax, I would suggest you research this subject in detail before you supporting the hoax theory. Start with the Lunar Surface Journal and then check out the MOON and lastly NON-FAKED MOON LANDINGS

There is way too much evidence that we did visit the moon. I am not sure why it is so hard for people to believe that, but it is fact and there is nothing at all supporting the hoax theory. I sure hate for people to believe our lunar missions were a hoax, and I don't think we should propagate such nonsense. There is way to much science to back up these facts.
