What difference does it make if we landed on the moon or not? We “won” the Cold War whether the landing was real or not. C’est la vie ---

Some gibberish deleted. Would someone kindly pummel the idiot OP about the head and neck with a large piece of soggy plywood? Thanks kindly. ETA: Speaking metaphorically of course. The only harm I wish the OP is of the metaphorical kind. To be clear. ---

The moon landing was faked? Sure, that’s what the New World Order would have you believe. The truth is that they’re building their mind control lasers on the moon as we speak. They’re putting out the story that we never went to the moon to cover up their secret project. ---

> [@Cosmored](#): > > The evidence that the Apollo moon missions were faked in a studio is crushing. The US government can’t censor the evidence that’s on the internet but it can bury it with disinformation and obfuscation. If you enter “Apollo hoax” in Google, you’ll find about fifteen pro-Apollo sites for every hoax site. I made a collection of some of the hoax evidence the government is trying to bury. > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > . > .

> [@Morgyn](#): > > A better question is, why couldn’t it have taken longer? Win. Just for serious, for a moment: if we include the missions that went around the moon without landing, there were 9 Apollo missions to the moon (Apollos 8 and 10-17). Even after discounting the astronauts who were on two moon missions, there were still about two dozen astronauts who’ve allegedly seen the far side of the moon. That’s an awfully large group of people for keeping a secret like that. ---

What’s worse is that it helps spread the ignorance by causing Google to give those links more weight in search results. I’m sure the ignorant spammer appreciates the help spreading his message, though. ---
