I heard that the americans did not land on the moon in 1969, and that it was all a hoax, they just took pictures and made it seem like they landed on the moon. They had a special on tv about it, showing the pictures and how you can see people being super imposed(adam sandler goat voice:"whats super imposed"), you can see crossharis under people but on top of other things. also how the flags shadows was way off from where it should have been at that time. I actually beleive we didnt land on the moon. To my knowledge we havent even sent ne one back since then. ohh well i guess i might be easily influenced, but i dont think that we landed on the moon. :whistle:

Everybody has their own opinion...I for one believe that we did land on the moon. There were several other missions since then.

A point to make is that if we didn't land on the moon then why did the Apollo 13 crisis occur. They were intended for the moon so how could that have happened if it was a hoax.

Yep, I read an article in a magazine a while back, very interesting, it could all be a hoax just to show that the Americans beat the Russians in the space race or there maybe something up there that they want to conceal, who knows? ....

Radish?

yea, I've read a report on this one, and the evidence is pretty convincing that it is a hoax, because of many small mistakes that the americans made while "taking" the picture in a studio. The shadows were facing in different directions, which is only seen when using a small set of lights, as in a studio, the Sun creates shadows that are all almost parallel. There were many other little quirks to their pics but I can't actually remember them right now.

I really don't know what to believe, although being a space fanatic I would like to think that they did reach the moon, but I have been confused ever since about where the space age is taking us, if they have to revert to lieing and hoaxing.

We have definitely landed on the moon. During one of the later moon missions, they placed small mirrors there that would reflect a laser fired from Earth back in order to measure seismic activity. The laser facility (at the McDonald observatory in west Texas) is, to the best of my knowledge, not a government facility. However, the laser tests still worked perfectly. How could we have placed stuff there if nobody ever went there? I suppose you could argue robots, but I doubt that they were sophisticated enough 30 years ago to place them so precisely as to reflect a laser fired from Earth back at it.

There were several other missions since then.

thats doesn't mean that the americans were first to land there, Gagarin and Armstrong - all that means is that people after it have been successful OR they have also hoaxed it, but the point you've made about Apollo 13 is a good one, because that really is proof that there most definitely have been successful trips to the moon.

No doubt about it now anyway, because there are spacecraft, such as Voyager 1, and Voyager 2, that are travelling even further than our solar system, but the point that is being debated is whether Armstrong and Gagarin were the FIRST to reach it.

I was saying that we didnt land on the moon in 1969, and i have not heard of other mon missions since then, but as for the mirros they could have been put up there with a ship, you never know. as for apollo 13, im not saying that they were not intended for the moon, but if they were (i dont like how this sounds but here is goes) god knows they didnt make it(not supposed to be mean).

well, I would think that he was the first to the moon, because the moon would have formed aorund the same time as the Earth was formed, or probably after as a stray asteroid caught in the Earth's gravitational field, but I don't really see what aliens might have seen in the Earth, the main reason why we wanted to reach the moon in the firts place was to have a huge advance in space research and technology, andthen it carried on to search for signs of water, and next life(if we ever get to this stage)

    • I've owned nothing but ATi/AMD GPUs since 2002, after my last nVidia GPU in 2001 (3dfx before that), IIRC, and in all of that time I recall getting this error maybe once, certainly no more than twice. Despite all the scuttlebutt as to how poor AMD drivers are supposed to be that has certainly not been my experience at all... Usually it has been a configuration problem of some kind. Then again, since we're dealing with OS versions that are EOL, it could easily be an OS version discrepancy. It's still weird to think that Win11 has been officially out for more than five years!
    • AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.
    • AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.
    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
