Ah the wonders of soviet engineering. when all else fails, light up the sky with one big, mother ****ing rocket:D:D

Got to hand it to mother russia though, just look at what they did with mir. they kept that pile of junk up in space way, way, way longer then it should have been up there.

This is where i insert my views on the current nasa shuttlecraft:

WE NEED NEW ONES, NOW!

even though they are only a 1/4 through their intend lifespan (25/100 missions), nasa's running on 20+ year old technology. Thats 15 years longer than almost all of the previous spacecraft. (with the exception of them crafty russians, heh, they continue to strap the biggest rocket they can find to a tin can. you couldnt get me to get in a soyuz if my life depended on it.)

and it doesnt help that the 4 (or is it 5) remaining shuttles all have microscopic cracks in them.

Heh, did you guys here about how the ISS guys get to come home? that is if the shuttles aren't fixed? A russian made escape pod thats prolly similiar to a apollo capsule. talk about a bumpy landing, i've seen footage of the russians landing one of their capsules from the 60's on solid ground. even with parachutes, thats one hell of a ride.

Yeah - the Russians have always landed their spacecraft on solid ground - that's what happens when you don't have a warm water naval port!

The moon landing was real, obviously. The way you can tell is that the only people who say otherwise are the GTPlanet village idiots.

Take Josh, for instance. :D :p
 
So hang on, let me get this straight.

You guys accept, without any question, that Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaida were responsible for the WTC bombing, and on the basis of that you get the rest of us involved in a war in Afghanistan that there is no forseeable end to.

But, put a man on the moon, the United States' (and the human race's) most amazing technological feat, that rates above the Pyramids, the Great Wall of China and Magellan circumnavigating the world - oh no, that's a 50/50 proposition (going on the poll above)...

I finally realise - I just don't understand Americans.

Er, of course we think that al~Qaeda is responsible. Remember, the nineteen men who crashed the planes into the Trade Center were all al~Qaeda members. Why would we believe otherwise, then?

Well, generally speaking, that is.

I guess this is probably a good example of people just accepting media coverage with no analysis - and a couple of cranks get on to Fox and suddenly everyone just believes they didn't do it.

The highlight's been the supposed 'professional photographer' evidence - so, boys, how many photos have you taken in a vacuum. None, huh? And pressure has no effect on light? So, like, why does stuff look different under water, huh?

Everyone loves a good conspiracy, but, geez, they're drawing a long bow on this one.
 
vat: If it helps change (or even better solidifies that assessment) I'm an American. I'm hoping it'll help change it.

Personally, I analyze everything, especially news coverage and how things are spun. Analyzing the spin and what's really going on was actually how I most recently earned a living.

And, yes, I do believe man actually landed on the moon. The fraud claims are unconvincing, I think, and most of all, these people present their backing evidence without fully disclosing counter arguments and attempting to answer them. To me, that smacks more of manipulation than an attempt to find what really happened.

And it took me a while to think that Bin Laden was responsible for the 9/11 attack.

Mostly, I think too many people are far too willing to believe stuff without questioning it, without analyzing different points of view and thinking for themselves. This is sad, as it makes manipulation easy.

I also think people have to keep an open mind to keep ideas open to revision. Since a lot of things are far too complicated and new points of view are always emerging.


OK, I'm rambling too much.
 
Vat: yeah, I realize that, and my tone may have come off a bit too strong. But I'm shocked by them, too.

Maybe I just don't understand Americans, either.
 
I've posted before on my love of conspiracy theories and this one is the biggie.

I genuinely don't know..... I'd like to think that they got there, but the sceptic in me, especially since hearing about the van Allen belt thinks not.

I didn't seen the Fox show (I’m a Brit) but would assume that it was the same show or covered the same ground as a show over here that was aired some time back.

At the end of the programme over here it was claimed that the Japanese are building a telescope so powerful that it should be capable of seeing anything left on the surface of the moon, and I’m certain that they will have no qualms about blowing the whistle on the US if it proves that man didn’t get there..... Just a couple more years guys!

Regardless of whether man got to the moon or not, it was a fantastic feat, to either (a) to get there or (b) to hoodwink the population of Earth in believing that they got there. I'm not sure which is the greater.

But the one aspect out of it all that fascinates me is how they got that camera to pan up as the lander craft left the surface of the moon...?

Before you answer that question, and I accept that it could have been remotely activated and the picture transmitted to the lunar orbiter and would have been of similar quality to the other filmed rather than transmitted images as it was closer but how did they then store those images? The equipment (at that time) would have been so bulky, and where was it (the equipment) on the orbiter?

But a conspiracy of this size for so long, I don't think so. Someone, somewhere would have told someone, something, surely?

But then Pres' Reagan pulled off the bluff that was the catalyst to events that finished up with the end of the Berlin wall. And that was just Star Wars defence system!

In closing I'm perfectly happy to accept either possibility and so have not voted in the poll.

So as I said before, I just don't know! And it's just possible I never will.
 
I had some amazing point to make ... but by the time I got to the bottom of this thread I was so pissed at the ignorance that I forgot what I was going to say.

If you don't believe we (man-kind) have landed on the Moon, you're just looking for some radical movement to be a part of. Hows this for something radical ... INTELLIGENCE. Give it a try sometime.

And for those of you who actually care about the cool things we're doing in space, check out this cool article about Pioneer 10 still kicking back information after 30 years of space flight.
