The whole hoax!

Seriously! Ffs, you can see the line of horizon, they look green screened on that shit... like when you went to the museum in the 90s and pretended to be superman!

If someone sold the story they would be killed Jfkennedy

I blame Donald Trump

Nothing to do with the Moon Landing - I just blame him...

I knew this anniversary was going to draw all of the conspiracy theorists out of the nation's back bedrooms! I love it.

Don't you think the Russians might have discovered the truth of a fake moon landing by now? Those scientists with a real reason to point out any false claims might have got there by now, if there was anything to doubt.

You'd need a whole, big truckload of co-conspirators to carry that 'myth' over 50 years, tho, wouldn't you?

In the late 60s USA I'd suggest you'd be a lot harder pressed to find them than you would modern fly-over Umerickuh now- where they appear legion.

God, how we admired the USA in 1969; how we now despair of it. (Speaking as a citizen of Brexiting Britain...)

You been on the sherbet OP?

DurhamDurham · 16/07/2019 22:42

Of course it happened. David Bowie wrote a song about it so it must be true! Grin

Whisky2014 · 16/07/2019 22:44

It annoys me there are people as stupid as the op in this world.

CalamBalam · 16/07/2019 22:49

I love the clip of Buzz Aldrin clouting some dickhead who's getting in his face shouting about all this hoax bullshit.

BigChocFrenzy · 16/07/2019 22:50

I used to expect people aged 8+ wouldn't be daft enough, gullible enough, to believe such ridiculous conspiracy theories

I lowered my expectations until they hit the ground, then I dug a hole.

When I hit bedrock, I got a big drill and punched down as far as I could
and when the drill ran out I jumped up and down on my expectations to squish them some more.

Recently, I've taken a big steaming dump on my expectations and filled in the hole.

Can’t believe you are all ridiculing op when this footage exists of the actual plot to fake the landing. Or maybe it’s a Mitchell and Webb sketch? Grin

Cherylshaw · 16/07/2019 23:06

I never get why people get so angry about this sort of stuff, calling the op stupid etc, so they don't believe it, it's hardly affecting your life??

I’m not angry. I still think the OP is stupid. Does that meet your approval?

CalamBalam · 16/07/2019 23:09

It sounds inconsequential and kooky in isolation but it's all part of a more general endarkenment we're seeing these days, i.e the increase in parents who refuse to vaccinate their kids.

MrsTerryPratchett · 16/07/2019 23:09

I'm with Buzz Aldrin on this...

Ignore the bloody annoying music.

CalamBalam · 16/07/2019 23:09

...because they 'read this thing on Facebook'.

RedForShort · 16/07/2019 23:11

"If someone sold the story they would be killed.
Jfkennedy"

"Erm... he was shot 6 years beforehand"

You see, that just shows how serious they are.

ADropofReality · 16/07/2019 23:12

Reported.

Yes, reported. Fuck this shit. I am fed up to the fucking back teeth of people openly denying reality (and in some cases demanding I deny reality with them).

wellytan · 16/07/2019 23:13

The reason the horizon looks fake is because the atmosphere is thinner on the moon so you don't get the blue haze caused by our thicker atmosphere here on earth.

Just in case anybody needs a vaguely interesting but not very useful fact to fill your next awkward silence.

iklboo · 16/07/2019 23:16

You're expecting 50 year old film to look like Avengers Assemble?

SwedishEdith · 16/07/2019 23:17

This kind of wilful stupidity does start to affect people's lives though. It's all part of the anti-vaxxers, climate change deniers "we're too clever to be duped" mindset. Or deliberate astroturfing. It should be refuted with evidence. It shouldn't be engaged with though - it just amplifies the stupidity I realise I'm breaking this rule.

Sparklesocks · 16/07/2019 23:20

PHOTOSHOPPED

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 16/07/2019 23:37

So they photoshopped the moon landing even though photoshop wasn’t invented until 1988 and killed JFK for revealing a supposed hoax that happened 6 years after his death.

The TARDIS theory is looking more promising by the minute.

TwistyTop · 16/07/2019 23:42

I like to keep a sense of humour about conspiracy theories but I do find this one to be in poor taste. What a huge insult to everyone who worked on that landing. Do you really have so little faith in humanity that you think we can't send a rocket to the Moon? You're either too thick to understand the science behind it or you're just joking around. I'll choose to believe the latter.
