Xer34 Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 aw come on.. you cant believe we really went there.. supposedly whoever got to the moon first would win the cold war?.. why wouldnt america fake it.. they had nothing to lose.. (cept rockets and billions of dollars) but yeah i think america just wants to get up there to make sure the chinese dont do anything.. "uh.. yeah th..the flag was here the whooolle time.." :ninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebsh Posted December 4, 2003 Author Share Posted December 4, 2003 supposedly whoever got to the moon first would win the cold war?.. where did u get that from? thats not what cause the end of the cold war... the USA researching SDI and other space based defense systems are what drove Russia into ruin finicially because they tried to compeate with the USA and ran out of money doing it... i didnt have much to do with the moon, but more to do with SDI systems in space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaMan's Girl Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 *giggles* I wanna live on the moon! :woot: Been my dream since I was a little girl. All this talk about conspiricy and so forth, I find it amusing. I suppose the only way we can really truely belive that we've been to the moon or will be on the moon or whatnot is to go up there ourselves. Each and every one of us needs to go to the moon. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuarterSwede Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Yeah, I saw that TV special about if we really went to the moon. I tell you, most of the stuff they said can easily be explained. I think it's the first time I saw BS about suppossed BS. I suppose the satellites aren't really up there either, HAHAHA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notchbak Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 we didnt go, we aint goin, china isnt either. lol.. now flame away.. (j/k but this sure is fun) seriously .. could someone please give a POSSIBLE (even a half a$$ answer) to why it is we can take the billion dollar telescopes we have and look deep into space at things we will never to able to physically travel to. BUT .. we cant turn our attention to the moon and get some images of all the crap they left behind up there. im not being sarcastic or a conspiracy nut, i honestly dont understand this concept myself. anyone? anyone?

QuarterSwede Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Mostly because there isn't enough people who think it didn't happen to warrant spending the money to do it. That and people still wouldn't believe it even if they saw it. Those sort of people have to go there and see it with their own eyes to believe it.

notchbak Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 but arent we spending the same money to look at all the junk we cant even get to .. and quite possible doesnt even make a difference in our lifetimes. surely they are looking just slightly above or below the moon at some point that they could just bump it up or down to take a peek. dang every piece of software, movie, music seems to find its way to the net long before it should.. surely someone could sneak some "spy shots" and "leak them" ???? hehe either way its still interesting to think about.. and it sure beats the old PC vs. MAC crap.. hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+chorpeac MVC Posted December 4, 2003 MVC Share Posted December 4, 2003 I may be wrong, but I think I heard/read somewhere the reason why no ones has looked at the moon to get evidence. It had something to be with the way the telescopes focus. Since the moon is so close to the Earth compared to the other objects, these high powered telescopes can't get good focus on the Moon. Or something like that. I am not sure if that is correct or not. Oh and if we did get some images....who is going to stop Mr. Photoshop magic from "inserting" a flag and other evidence that should be visible. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, the only way to get an answer to this is to send Dennis Tito up there! He will find out for us and tell us the truth! He can make it on one tank of air, rountrip!!

notchbak Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 On Thursday, February 15th 2001 (and replayed on March 19), the Fox TV network aired a program called ``Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?'', hosted by X-Files actor Mitch Pileggi. The program was an hour long, and featured interviews with a series of people who believe that NASA faked the Apollo Moon landings in the 1960s and 1970s. The biggest voice in this is Bill Kaysing, who claims to have all sorts of hoax evidence, including pictures taken by the astronauts, engineering details, discussions of physics and even some testimony by astronauts themselves. The program's conclusion was that the whole thing was faked in the Nevada desert (in Area 51, of course!). According to them, NASA did not have the technical capability of going to the Moon, but pressure due to the Cold War with the Soviet Union forced them to fake it. FYI .. this was a text a buddy sent me.. came from the net he copy / pasted ... dunno where.. so whoever wrote it.. credit goes to you.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, didn't mean to come off as Rep Vs Dem. I don't consider myself either, so we will stay away from that. I don't think we have been up there. There is more then enough proof to show we haven't.

bluebsh Posted December 4, 2003 Author Share Posted December 4, 2003 for the people that think the moon landing was faked... think about this... if they where all fakes, why did Apollo 13 happen? It was so close to the moon and had a problem and had to change trajectory to get back home.. and it's easily proved that apollo 13 did happen... so if that happened you'd think the other ones happened too.. it's not like you can't get to the moon... im sure we faked the apollo 13 accident also :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
