YANBU I think they were faked too

CoteDAzur · 16/11/2010 17:13

YANBU. They might very well have been faked.

Rockbird · 16/11/2010 17:14

I think they were faked. If they weren't then why has no one been back? It's all a load of old hooey.

MiasmARGGG · 16/11/2010 17:15

Lol!

We did go back, lots of times!

GrimmaTheNome · 16/11/2010 17:16

I don't though.

I said what the thread was for, its not to flush out conspiracy theorists. Though if anyone wants an alternative to fat/thin/royal drivel be my guests Grin

No man has landed on the moon since though have though?

I think it's a fake too.

SausageMonster · 16/11/2010 17:17

Bugger - I fell for that. Still believe they were faked though.

Won't she make a terrible mess if she explodes?

You can swear blind that the sun never shines on the dark side of the moon and watch me explode too if you want. Wink

jonesy71 · 16/11/2010 17:18

but has Hecate exploded yet?

lollipopshoes · 16/11/2010 17:18

YABU for even suggesting that they were fake - you'll bring out all the nutters Wink

and YABalittlebitU for wanting poor Hecate to explode

I'll sit back and wait for all the nutters to object to being called nutters and watch their pathetic attempts to "prove" that the moon landings didn't happen.

(dp met Neil Armstrong once btw Grin)

GrimmaTheNome · 16/11/2010 17:20

No man has landed on the moon since though have though?

Its certainly true that no man has landed on the moon since the last of the several (5 or 6?) missions in which men landed on the moon. Can't argue with that.

Didn't Buzz Aldrin punch someone for suggesting the moon landings were faked?

CoteDAzur · 16/11/2010 17:22

There were a few moon landings, not just one.

Last one was in early 1979s, though.

There can be many other reasons for why we haven't returned since then, such as:
The cost
We already took the photos & the samples
No USSR to race against
The cost
The cost
The cost

HecateQueenOfWitches · 16/11/2010 17:22

AARRGGGGHHHHHH!

I KNEW what this was about, I bloody KNEW it!

You bugger! Grin

EdgarAirbombPoe · 16/11/2010 17:23

you have missed your target

explodes

lollipopshoes · 16/11/2010 17:24

Apollo 17 was the last to land on the moon in (I think) 1972.

Gene Cernan was the commander of that mission and therefore the last man to set foot upon the moon's surface.

The moon missions were scrapped because of Apollo 13's problems but the next ones were already booked, sorted and arranged so they went ahead with them.

We've not been back because they ploughed all their available money into space labs and missions to the outer solar system and beyond.

cestlavie · 16/11/2010 17:24

Clearly they were fake.

The American flag moving in a vacuum.No visible blast crater. Overly well defined footsteps in the lunar surface. Absence of stars in any of the photographs.

Even Hecate knows they were faked.

lollipopshoes · 16/11/2010 17:25

and I watched an episode of mythbusters where they proved all the nutters wrong Grin

CountessDracula · 16/11/2010 17:26

Last time I went to the science museum and saw the replica of the pod they came back down in I thought NO WAY!

CoteDAzur · 16/11/2010 17:26

YwouldBU if you claimed moon landings were faked.

YANBU to wonder if try are faked, given that the US had the means, motive, and opportunity to carry out such a hoax.

Pompoko · 16/11/2010 17:27

who filmed the moon landing?
The shot is off to the side so you can watch him clime down the ladder. So ether he ran out and put a camra on a tripod or asked a local to film it

lollipopshoes · 16/11/2010 17:27

pompoko - twas the clangers Grin

Pompoko · 16/11/2010 17:29

They should have brought some clangers back, theyd make great pets!

Rockbird · 16/11/2010 17:30

Anyway, everyone knows that Mr Spoon and Tina Teaspoon got there first.
