SURELY man didn't really land on The Moon? It was 1969 fgs, they didn't even have remotes without wires...

We watched Independence Day last night (I like it and Bill Pullen as pres) and Dh and I agreed that surely the moon landings were a hoax. In 1969 there were no mobile phones, cds, remotes without wires, all sorts of other technologically advanced stuff. Computers were massive things with TAPES.

Surely we didn't really land on The Moon? Or am I being completely naive/stupid/technologically dense?

If we did, someone please explain HOW we did it with 1969 technology. TIA.

I also do not believe one little bit that man landed on the moon in 1969.

I read last year that the Japanese were planning a moon landing in 2007 (I think). And I thought, right I'll wait and see. If they do it, then I just might re-think the Ruskie-hating 'Mericans non-event.

Must check out if it's still all on for the Japanese.

pointydog · 27/11/2006 20:59

didn't

I believe that Apollo XI went to the moon. If it didn't why all the problems with Apollo XIII - that seems a strange story to make up to fool us all.

Fattymumma · 27/11/2006 21:09

there was a documetary about Area 52 (or whatever its called...you know the place with teh suposed alien landings)

anyway the scientists that were researching those aliens were able to pinch somne of their technology and thats how come there were so many technological advances.
apparantly Kevlar, Fibre optic, and microchips are all alien inventions that we pinched.

There was also a theory that Buzz Aldrin had seen aliens coming over the horizon and said something like "Oh my god! They're coming towards us!".
It was able to be edited out by NASA because there was a couple of minutes delay in the live transmission.
I think I read this in a magazine called 'Titbits' so it must be true.

southeastastra · 27/11/2006 21:21

well if it was in titbits!

DH has a book that argues that all the big conspiracy theories are there to hide bigger, weirder conspiracies.

This whole "moon landing" thing is just there to distract us from the fact the moon doesn't exist. Nor does space.

NotQuiteCockney · 27/11/2006 21:27

All the talk about JFK's murder conspiracies - he's alive and well, and living in Scotland with Marilyn Monroe. Diana was actually murdered, because she'd found out about JFK and was about to go public about it.

All the alien/Roswell stuff is another way to distract us from, again, the fact that space does not exist.

This is the tread to remind us all that this is, sadly, the internet, with all that that implies.

iota · 27/11/2006 21:32

I touched moon rock last month

Fattymumma · 27/11/2006 21:34

aah Roswell thats what its called.

the doc was on national geographic, it was actualy really interesting in a boreing-i-cant-be-bothered-to-turn-over kind of way.

nikkie · 27/11/2006 21:39
Hmm
tribpot · 27/11/2006 21:44

Don't tell my ds the moon doesn't exist, he spends entire hours saying "moo, gone, moo, gone, gone, gone, gone".

Apollo 13 is clearly fact due to Tom Hanks being on it (sort of) and as below, why would you make that up to substantiate the story? As noted in the film, there was less power in the Lunar Module there than it would take to run a coffee machine in ye olden days.

If the Mars probes were all fakes as well, surely they wouldn't disappear without trace quite so frequently?

pointydog · 27/11/2006 21:55

iota, you touched shit crock

You betta believe it, cockers!

pointydog · 27/11/2006 22:37

Did any of you read in the papers a couple of months ago that nasa have lost the original moon landing tapes. Lost! How convenient.

'Misplaced' I think they claimed.

I wonder if they've found them yet... oohhh who're ya kiddin

NotQuiteCockney · 27/11/2006 22:37

People are rubbish. I think we're better at big obvious things like getting to the moon, than we are at faking a moon landing and covering it up for nearly 40 years. One is difficult, the other is impossible.

Fattymumma · 27/11/2006 22:38

wasn't there someoneon here who didn't believe in global warming either? im sure she was saying it was just a huge conspiracy theory to make us use some alternative fuel or something

pointydog · 27/11/2006 22:39

hang on there. Just because some of us believe in one conspiracy theory doesn't mean we believe in them all.

We're not crazy in teh bean you know .

JanH · 27/11/2006 22:51

What does the Express say about it? (They had Di on the front page again today, they know all about conspiracies)

UnquietDad · 27/11/2006 22:53

LOL at "rocket science isn't that complicated" - not because I disagree, but because of the well-known expression!

What do people at NASA say when one scientist has something he wants to tell another is easy?... I mean, he can't say "Awww, c'mon, Ted, it ain't rocket science!" can he? Because it.... is.
