I personally saw Apollo XVII take off. If that was a hoax it was the best special effects/magic trick ever. Maybe we can get Donald Trump behind the moon landing CT. That should finish it off real good. And I’d pay big money to see Buzz punch the Donald in the face. ETA: The only thing missing from the video of Buzz punching that nutjob is that Buzz should have said, in his best Ralph Kramden voice “Too the moon, idiot.” ---

Of course the CTers are all over the comments section. Said CTers are still beating the “It was a hoax” drum. I guess it wouldn’t be so bad if each and every little thing those fuckwits say proves it was hoax weren’t so trivially easy to show is not what they say it is. What is CTer? I know it has to be something to do with conspiracy, but I can’t figure out the T. > [@](#): > > Of course, I realize those clowns are morons, but their existence in force (and, yes, sadly, I have met Moon landing deniers in real life) brings up a question: How did they manage to make it through school?

Weren’t you paying attention in school? > [@](#): > > So, if all the moon landings supposedly were faked, does that mean the various Martian rovers, and solar system probes like New Horizons, are fakes as well? Or, are we saying we managed to get those right; it’s just the manned flights that were faked? Is the International Space Station a fake, then? The problem comes from all the radiation in the Van Allen Belts. Machines are unaffected, so the rovers and probes are safe, but people who pass through the belts would be instantly incinerated. The ISS flies safely inside. This ignores how the radiation in the belts is easily blocked by polyethylene sheets, not metal, so stock up on Wisconsin storm windows, dry-cleaner bags, and duck tape before your next trip to the Moon. ---

It was totally faked. Mitchell and Webb explain how it was done in this video here: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/P6MOnehCOUw/hqdefault.jpg "That Mitchell and Webb Look - Moon Landing Sketch") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6MOnehCOUw) ---

Fake moon landing is so 1960ish. The modern conspiracist favors proving that 9/11 was staged by the government. Personally, I would rather collect Big Foot turds and sell them to tourist from Arizona. They pay 25 bucks a pound for the good stuff. ---

See, that’s the other thing. People go on and on about the Van Allen belts, but no one ever says anything about the Van Dyke and Van Morrison belts. Far more dangerous. ---
