Haha I did make points, and yet you still didn't answer my question of why they were in the same locations when we're told they're meant to be miles apart? It's a blatant lie from NASA which you, as per usual gloss over with your usual panache.
Same again with the fact that Russia have never been there and the USA have never been back. It's doesn't make sense why it hasn't happened, and there's been no real argument for it. Yet you just passed it off as something I will or won't believe. Hardly a debate that is it?
And being a winning Olympian, I'm sure the thousands that watched me win my event will vouch for me... Last time I recalled, there was no one on the moon watching them.
You may not find it odd that he has the most famous name ever yet owns an unknown face. But I do, and millions of others also do.
It's funny though, that no way did NASA expect their footage to be put under so much scrutiny now, I believe they never thought that today's computers would be as advanced to pick their whole program apart.
Can someone explain to me in laymans terms, how theres no spec of dust on the feet of the landers? Plus no blast crater underneath it? Cos the lander couldn't have just been placed there could it.....?

Please provide a concrete example of computers "picking it apart".

It's certainly not a debate if all you can contribute is variations on "I don't believe it." Now you don't believe it because no other country had the money and engineering skill to do it. Guess what? Vladimir Putin has decided to assert Russia's national prestige, and thus his personal power, by challenging the United States in space. Russia will have a manned cis-lunar flight in about three years and a landing in about five. This will really get the Chinese going. There was no point in taking second place in the race to the Moon, but plenty of prestige in being the first one back!

Sure they saw you win. That's why they think you must have cheated. No-one can perform like that without drugs, right? Who do you think you are? Are you better than us because you can run so fast or jump so high? No-one can do what you did. You must have cheated, 'fess up!

More famous than Jesus? Now you're just exaggerating.

People just want to believe whAt they want to believe. I enjoy the fact that I believe we went there. Can - prove it?
Not really,
I do look up at the moon on a clear night and I do think it really can't be that hard to go there. It is not that far really.

There's no reason for the engine to be going a full throttle when they landed. As they approach the surface that engine is throttled down so when the LEM touches down on the surface the engine is hardly expending any energy at all. Most of the energy is expended much farther above the surface as the de-accelerate. The only energy they need at that point is just enough to ensure a soft landing during the final few feet. There just woudn't be enough force from the engine at that point to leave a crater.edit on 31-8-2012 by Junkheap because: (no reason given)

I must be stupid, but 1/6 gravity aside, and if hardly any energy is being used from the engine, why didn't the lander just crash to the ground?

If its not that hard, why hasn't anyone been back?
