OK conspiracy theorists - get out of this! Moon landings!

I think it was like in that Capricorn One movie. You never really went. A case of The Big Lie at the height of the cold war and losing in Vietnam. Something of a moral booster.

Somebody run that youtube about how it's easier to go than to fake going, please.

I think out of all the CT's this is my favourite, it makes I larf

I'm kind of like

I think I like it because it's the easiest to debunk... do we have a :lazy: smiley?

This was before the information age. People had no idea about the dagnostic forensic technologies which would appear later. The simple and least risky option would be to put a manned craft into orbit and ditch it in the Ocean which is what happened IMO. Send a robot to the moon to collect samples with the same craft. The way the Saturn V was constructed would allow for a multiple mission launch. It isquite possible the robotic lunar soil/rock retriever failed for Apollo 13 explaining the dubious incredible rescue. Wouldn't we all like to repair a space ship with a spare sock and ducktape?

It's "duct tape" not "ducktape." It's tape designed and manufactured to seal the joints in heating and cooling ducts, not something for taping your favorite waterfowl to your ass.

This one?

It was all a hoax. Land on the Moon? As if! Moon!

The really tricky part was persuading the Roosians to keep schtum

I don't know I'm not a expert on ducts. We don't have air-conditioning over here.

You have heating systems, right?

Brilliant marketing plan to capitalize on the misunderstanding of the term! Trademarked too, I bet.

Yeah. But they have heavy duty solder not tape to hold them together.

To be honest I don't know if the moon landings happened or not. I just see a window for them not landing and explore it as a alternative to the consensus. The more I explore this window the wider it appears.

Yeah I took that approach too, came to the opposite conclusion.

I'm not that bothered really. It wasn't a big deal even if it did happen. Fish jump out of bowls. Who cares?
