A moon mission is very different, can't be tested independently to verify it, etc.

A Moon Landing is not some sort of generalized principle that needs to be confirmed by repeated experiment; it is an historical event. As such, it is subject not to scientific standards of evidence, but historical standards of evidence. As it is, both the scientific data collected and the historical documentation support each other.
That's so ridiculous. It is subject to the same scientific standards of evidence as anything else. No matter how significant or historic ithe event, it must stand up or else it falls by applying the same standards.
You fail to understand the difference between scientific and historical methods. It is claimed that on June 6, 1944, 156,000 men were transported across the English Channel and landed on beaches in Normandy under heavy enemy fire. This is absurd on the face of it, and the feat has never been duplicated in seventy years. By your reasoning, D-Day never happened, right? Do you see the fallacy here?
It's never been done in 40+ years since then.
See above.

But it was done every few months over a period of three years! In any event, your premise is completely fallacious. No-one has built the Eiffel Tower in 100+ years, therefore the Eiffel Tower cannot exist.
But the difference is
We don't want to build another Eiffel Tower, but we can build it.
We want to go to the moon, but we cannot. And every excuse in the book cannot change that fact .
Correction: we do not want to go back to the Moon badly enough. We have the technological know how to do it, but it is extremely costly. There is insufficient motivation to undertake a manned program when unmanned spacecraft are just as effective and less expensive. And all the empty rhetoric in the world cannot change that fact.

I think Samkent was referring to Hurricane Sandy, not Sandy Hook.
At least that's what I got from the context of that post.

I never aim for 'proof' of a falsities such as OKC bombing, 9/11, Sandy Hook etc - waste of resources, time and energy - besides, it would violate the laws of logic and reason. My sights are focused on higher things - truth for example.
So to put things in perspective.
Would psychotic hypnosis be when your neighbors child is shot at Sandyhook and truth be when your child is shot at Sanyhook?
Originally posted by samkentYes I was refering to the two hurricanes.
My point is that these conspiracies have people behind them.
Hurricane victims, Apollo workers etc. You can't say these events took place only in the media.

As a psychological experiment in the art of 'cold war' propaganda, via the electronic medium of television mainly, Apollo laid the ground work for a propaganda event of even greater proportions - 9/11 - because of its overall accomplishments regarding the suppression of liberty (the Constitution), and individual freedom (the Bill of Rights) in America by way of Marxist communism.

I will second your statement here POX.
The asteroids are the next threat. Then the aliens.
Well, you fail to understand the difference between easily to parallel tasks, and scientific achievement.
So, for your example, if I can make more boats, I can carry more people. Nothing special about that technology.
Do you also believe 1000 of these special forces men were BEAMED or TELEPORTED behind enemy lines on DDAY???
AMAZING! Totally Real.
