You can argue against the point if you'd like.

But you may notice a little bit later in the thread that I take everything back.

Haha.

If someone has that belief that it was a conspiracy, that's on them, it doesn't seem proper to call them an idiot. I'm more curious in what people believe, what they think about Apollo 11, not what they think of other people. This topic is about if Apollo 11 did or didn't land on the moon, and evidence one has to offer to prove one's point - it's not about name calling.

I saw a stat on the lunar landing it it is only 6% not 20% for Americans that does not believe man landed on the moon.

take care

Ohh darn I forgot to put a comma between old and man. Now thanks to that lack of a comma my statement has become horribly misinterpreted. :rolleyes:

If someone answers me that I will be happy and safe in the knowledge that there WAS a moon landing.

The first mistake was assuming they used a regular, ordinary flag. If they had, it would have been a limp cloth and the colors wouldn't be visible ...kind of a big deal when you're the first folks on the moon... and the moon does have gravity, so with a regular flag, it wouldn't have stuck out at all. Nor would a regular flag be constantly in a waving position on earth. Nor would NASA be dumb enough to stage it and put a blowing fan in front of the flag knowing full well that everyone knew there wasn't an atmosphere or wind on the moon.

The flag was apparently made with a bendable rod through the top portion of of the flag fabric so that it would be extended and not sit there limp and indistinguishable. Otherwise you wouldn't see the flag and it would look completely lame. For people who managed to put guys on the moon, you'd think they'd have figured out a way for their flag to be visible for the recording. And you'll also notice that the flag only waved when it was moved, which explains the rest.

I like a good conspiracy too, but I like debunking them more often. Or watching/learning the debunking.

I just recently watched a debunking of Zeitgeists religion parallel claims... lol.. wow... I can't believe how utterly false Zeitgeist was. To their credit, they were convincing... but when subjected to actual research, Zeitgeist's religion claims were completely put to shame. Debunks are good because you get new sources and get to compare the two opposing views where you may not have been able to do had you only watched the one biased opinion.

I'm the opposite to you, I like the imagination and romance behind conspiracy theories. The Bemuda triangle eats people and planes and ships! Why debunk that?!

Courtney killed Kurt! Why prove that to be ludicrous? I like the few things that are questionable/up in the air as opposed to the actual facts.

I'm not really a person to just rip the mystery out of everything for the sake of being a grinch... I just think there's more to be learned from what is discovered from previously unknown or assumed occurrences.
