You don't believe Bart Sibrel's nonsense, do you?

a reply to: CriticalStinker

Personally, I think it's letting itself go...could really use a good facial scrub and probably a nice hydrating lotion. I mean, have you seen its moisture content?

Probably why we haven't gone back since the Apollo missions--it's not even putting forth any effort to attract us.

Well, other than it's gravity...

Because it wasn't.(:

The only thing that convinces me that it was not a science fiction movie is the acting in this clip ............rubbish acting by the Apollo 11 crew members.
Look at the body language of the three..............

Come on.......how excited would you be if you had been and walked on the moon?
And how deflated and fearful would you appear if you had to lie about it?
OMG look at Neil Armstrong's face..........he looks so sad......I really believe that he thought they were going to the moon and only found out that he had to lie after it did not happen.

No.
Seems to me they were holding back emotion, as well as being uncomfortable about having to speak in front of so many people. Possibly scripted - which does NOT prove it was a "fake moon landing".

I can remember Mom letting me stay up way past my bedtime to watch TV coverage of the landing. I laid on the carpet in our den with a blanket and a pillow.

Agreed. Neil Armstrong was a very private man. Going on telly being seen by millions is not an easy thing. I would be nervous as hell. I would be more nervous about that than actually going to the Moon.

People calling him a liar is just very, very sad.

a reply to: Slinki

Maybe they were nervous because of what they saw up there..

a reply to: SlapMonkey

Well, other than it's gravity...

That won't last either.

Maybe it's a reason we haven't gone back. It's too far now.

Apparently. The Moon moves away from Earth by 3.8cm per year. That's 176.8cm (5.83ft US) since 1972.

IF I was the Moon.

I wouldn't like the Earth either.

Too much green house gas in the air.

a reply to: neo96

Well. Go on then.

Find yourself another Earth like planet.

a reply to: blackcrowe

We'll never find the fuel to get that much farther out there.

I'm sad now.

a reply to: SlapMonkey

Bummer

a reply to: oldcarpy

Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

a reply to: LightSpeedDriver


Good for you!

what a time to have been alive, huh?

0 MORE Makings of Moon Landing: 50 Years Ago, Apollo 11 Was One Year From 'Giant Leap' One year before Apollo 11 made history by landing on the moon, the mission’s hardware and astronauts were still coming together. Credit: NASA/NARA via collectSPACE.com One year before humanity's first lunar landing, the moon must have still felt quite far away. On July 20, 1968, the pieces for Apollo 11 were starting to come together, but the mission itself was still six months from a formal announcement. Four missions needed to launch and be successful before Apollo 11 could even attempt to fulfill President John F. Kennedy's challenge from seven years before. "I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to Earth," Kennedy said in May 1961.
