Fucking Morons Still Trashing Buzz

If he’s going in alphabetical order, it’s going to take forever.

No problem. He just needs a few rubber bands, a liquid lunch,and a particle accelerator.

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.”

So, Monday was the 46th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing. 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?

Most of them probably went thru school recently, where they had their hands held until they could pass.

I’ll put in money for that Kickstarter.
ETA: And then, because of this, I went to go see if B. Aldrin has a facebook page (he does) and caught myself typing in Buzz Lightyear…

Look at the way the shadows fall.

Shadows wouldn’t fall like that on the moon. Different gravity, you know.

No, same gravity, just less of it.

@Kimballkid

Do ya think, just maybe, that might be where the idea came from.

I’m sure it was. Inside jokes can be fun, but I’d hate for anyone now in the know to miss out on viewing a CT get punched in the face by Buzz!

@asterion

I wonder if we can fund a Kickstarter for Buzz to go and punch every single one of them, preferably on video.

Adding my support to this. How many supporters does that make? Maybe Zeldar could make a list.

Not the same gravity. It was Moon gravity, not Earth gravity. Completely different. 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.

How much to get the autographed box set as a thank you gift?

It was totally faked. Mitchell and Webb explain how it was done in this video here:

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.

I see what you did there.

@Jackmannii

How do we know it was your appendix? Maybe you ate too many Chuckles? Or was it all a ploy to distract from the Moon landing shenanigans?

Just connecting the dots…

That’s just what they wanted her to believe.
