The Apollo Moon Missions Were Faked in a Studio

If only he had posted while The Grapist was still around.

All you dipshits quoting his whole post are just a fraction smarter then the OP is. I suspect you think it’s somehow funny. You’re wrong.

Well, I’m convinced!

Oh, good.

I knew we didn’t have enough conspiracy theory threads this month. I was about to figure on the Government Man bringing them down or a tinfoil hat convention or something.

Serious question: what is the standard explanation for the flag being crumpled/waving? Just momentum? I’d like to know so I know what to say if I ever have the displeasure of encountering one of these people in the wild.

Heres what I don’t get.

If we had been to the moon (and by we, I mean countries with money), well it stands to reason that we would now have people living on the moon. QED. When the irish discovered America, people soon followed and started to live there. When the Irish discovered Australia and sent the British off to prison there, people soon followed and started to live there.

So do you mean to say that we found the moon, and nobody followed to live there? Pah, that wouldnt make any sense at all, so you just have to doubt that we ever found the moon at all.

No, that’s not right. Look at this, from a different angle, starting at 1:09. It’s clearly from the moon.

Dr. Albert Austin addresses this misperception at 0:43:

This is an artifact from the recording medium. You can see similar examples here, from 0:26 on:

If you’re interested in Collins’ jacket, you have to go through this whole thing:

I’m going to have to stop there but I’ll be back right after the OP returns and comments on this mind-blowing evidence.

Never mind my original explanation. Mythbusters covers it better.

The interesting/sad thing is that the moon flags are completely white now. 40 years of UV light have blanched them. It’s a giant signal to the moon men that we’ve decided to pre-emptively surrender.

Dude, you posted the exact same thing three years ago (on a sports forum, no less):

Haven’t you got anything better to do?

In all seriousness, including hundreds of links, which seems on the surface to make your argument more persuasive, just means that no one is going to read it.

If you have one piece of evidence that you think is the most damnable and irrefutable, please summarize that one thing, and I (and likely other dopers) will be willing to discuss it.

So it was basically just in really slow moon-gravity freefall (coupled with frictionless and air-resistanceless momentum)? That makes sense, probably what I would have intuited if I’d bothered to think it out.

you are LION! :mad:

No u.

Thanks for posting this in the pit, you credulous fucking moron.

Let’s take up a collection to send Buzz Aldrin on a moon-hoaxer-punching tour. If it stops one more fucking spammer from using the Gish Gallop (bury them in bullshit and declare victory) method, it’s totally worth it.

Cosmored! You’ve been hawking this garbage around the Internet for years! Why did it take so long for you to find the Dope?

A better question is, why couldn’t it have taken longer?

Every single one of those links goes to a Rickroll.
I wish.

I think we should put it on Kickstarter.

I’m reviewing the tape at this very moment – if it’s not fake, how do you explain the weird-looking alien saying “You should kill us all on sight”?

(Er… what was I talking about again?)
