Bumped!

For the simple mind (Dash-Ate!?) that need simple explanations:
http://mythbustersresults.com/nasa-moon-landing
One of the NASA photos is fake because the shadows of the rocks and lunar lander are not parallel.

busted!

One of the NASA photos is fake because Neil Armstrong can be clearly seen while in the shadow of the lunar lander.

busted!

A flag cannot flap in a vacuum.

busted!

A clear footprint cannot be made in vacuum because there is no moisture to hold its shape.

busted!

The film of the astronauts moonwalking is actually film of the astronauts skipping in front of a high-framerate camera, slowing down the picture and giving the illusion they are on the Moon.

busted!

The Apollo astronauts left behind special equipment on the Moon like reflectors that scientists can bounce lasers off of.

confirmed!

Short 1.5 min video watch at the very end you can even see the wire attached...this was done on a soundstage.

And watch when the item in his right hand hits the ground...the wire keep it standing up for a second until it falls.

Wow. You've blown their entire cover. Congrats. A grainy Youtube video has brought down the entire conspiracy.
Are you really that stupid, or are you trying to yank our chains?

That they were there or not is not the question. That after 41 years, they cannot afford to go back is silly... :lol:

haha makes a lot of sense: I know we went to the moon because I saw it on a grainy old black and white TV set! They told us it was live! It must be true. They said it over and over again. :lol: :lol:

Traveled hundreds of thousands of miles in this. No missed approaches - and they had no realistic sim!!

This looks like a kids science project. Hey where's the earth? Where are the stars?

OOPS

So then... you know absolutely nothing about photography (particularly film) or physics. Got it. Here's a little home project for you. Next full moon, I want you to step out of your home, where ever it is, and take a picture of the moon. Then, I want you to come back inside, get on your computer and tell all of us where the stars in your picture are. Okay.... I'll wait.

Actually the sim was pretty representative of what it was like, in addition to the FBSTD.

LEM SIM.

As to no missed approaches, you should read up on Apollo 10. The entire mission was as missed approach.

Hey where's the earth?
If you knew where the missions took place you would realize most of the missions landed on the near side relatively close to the centre of what you can see from the Earth. In that picture the Earth is above their heads. I believe 15 or 17 can't remember which was the only one to have the Earth low in the sky.

Kinda like them grainy YouTube videos that are so popular.

Since Moon landing denialists are most of the time also 9/11 conspiracy theorists, there's something for them: http://xkcd.com/690/

Sounds familiar... ah yeah I remember! Same thread, same idiotic question. It was answered in the most simple and irrefutable way by many. See guido's post: viewtopic.php?f=49&t=56334&start=25

All that expert testimony proves to these nutbars is that Guido is in on the big cover up whose job it is to prowl internet forums looking for anyone who "speaks the truth" and shout them down to preserve "the big lie."
