@andyjg sure they have i have seen the interviews and im not so certain they weren’t masturbating during the speech.
@joethecrow23 no its to allow mythbusters to get away with murder.
@vinnieray1 allow me to explain my friend!the sand on the moon is VERY rough because they rarely ever move so there’s no weathering to smooth them out.so they stick together,therefore no sandstorm.
@chocomog35 LMAO
@CodeVillain Why would NASA fake it? How about…to look like we won the space race?
Why 6 times…common sense. If the first “star wars” made a ton of money, why would you NOT make 5 sequels?
The thousands of people who were involved, how many would really know what happened? If let’s say they did everything except put the astranauts in there the last minute – how many would know? The computer engineers? The lander designers? No, they would have NO idea. 3 astranauts know, that’s it.
@dualarbiter The only thing that can make sand “stick” together is water.
I do take your point that sand should be very rough on the moon. However, how much resistance force can really come from having rough shapes? The sand was clearly “smooth” enough for the astranauts to leave perfect footprints all over. Please provide a mathematical explanation on how the rough shapes can make up for the forces left by the absence of water and air resistance, and much less gravity. I’m listening.
@vinnieray1
You’re so stupid it’s borderline adorable.
You’re missing tons of people in that list… far too many for me to post in one comment.
Software engineers to take the current software built and have it feed back false data back on ground would have to have known. The people who had to secretly put the materials up on the moon (like the reflector which you can shoot a laser at and have it bounce back proving it is there)
Sending second post one moment.
@maxkauf
Let’s say they did land on the moon, but faked the pictures and video footages. Out of the 400,000 how many would know that?
400,000+ people were involved in the gulf war. Does that mean 400,000 would know that the Pat Tillman story was made up (before the media exposed it)?
No, my friend. 3 people working on the coverup knew about it. That’s it.
This “400,000 people” argument is completely invalid.
@vinnieray1
Additionally, everyone in the government who would have to be involved. The people who had to set up the fake studio. The scientists to let the makers of the studio know how to set up a realistic moon-like atmosphere. Engineers to figure out how to take a pre-recorded fake moon landing and shoot it into space to transmit a signal back… since that’s the only way to explain how the signal was being transmitted from the ship because if it wasn’t even more people would be involved.
@CodeVillain
Let’s see, you have no answer to the scientific arguments I made (no water, no air resistance, small gravity, should be a sandstorm). So you make this non-sequitur “the rest of NASA would blow the whistle” argument. Then you resort to name calling. You’re clearly incapable of a rational debate, so I won’t bother with answering you.
@vinnieray1
lol man you just get dumber with every comment, I thought it was just a slip of the tongue when you said only 3 people were involved in the cover up but now I see you’re repeating that claim.
You really believe that the 3 astronauts single-handedly pulled off the greatest deception of all time, even fooling all the members of government (unless you’re excluding them as “people”) programming their own fake software to fool ground control and all the other things I’ve mentioned?
@vinnieray1
There was no air resistance… just like there shouldn’t be in space…. since there’s no air. The flag doesn’t shake except when they’re shaking it, which in a vacuum like space causes momentum which many think may be air but if you look a few seconds after they stop touching it then it never moves.
Small gravity, yes, there was small gravity you could see abnormal hopping motions and the ground rover video.
Sand storm, no water? Don’t know what you’re talking about here.
@vinnieray1
Haha, of course you’re not going to answer me. I just completely destroyed almost your entire argument. You were seriously dumb enough to try to be saying that pretty much no one except the astronauts would need to be involved and I just proved that many, many people would have to be involved. So instead you say because I didn’t reply to something and insulted your intelligence that you won’t bother answering me.
Now I’ve replied to your “scientific arguments” they’re crap.
After all these years and technological advances since the first landing, you’d think we can get at least one HD display by now.
@vinnieray1 i got a few.there’s no air so no wind to force the sand around.the force of the swing only applied to a small section of sand so a large amount of sand wasn’t kicked up but more than usual was kicked up.i know this because Ive seen people swing from sand traps before and that much sand isn’t usually kicked up and it goes everywhere, the sand that flew up when he swung was going in one direction because there was no wind to blow it every where.therefore, no fake.
@andyjg my buddies all make the trip every third tuesday of the month just to masterbate on the moon.
@dualarbiter I’m not talking about “how much” sand was kicked up. I’m talking about HOW FAR the sand should kick up. No air resistance, no water particles, smaller gravity – don’t you think sand will kick up a MILE after the swing? No, in the video the sand falls right back down, almsot the same way as on earth. Explain that, please.
@vinnieray1 i am positive that a lot more sand was kicked up than what was shown
but you could not see it because of the video quality
@dualarbiter Again, I repeat. “HOW MUCH” sand was kicked up is not the problem. The problem is how “FAR UP” the sand is kicked up. WIthout air resistence and water particles, and little gravity, do you think the sand would only fly that much up, and fall right back down like on Earth?
I wanna be the first person to do a quadrople backflip double x-axis spin … on the moon
@vinnieray1 I agree with you, vinnieray
Ever since I read David Niven’s autobiography I’ve been convinced that the moon is, actually, a balloon.
“We choose to go to the moon..not because it is easier..but because it is easier to hit a golf ball farther there”.
god bless the sheapard crew
@vinnieray1 It wasn’t “sand” it was a very fine dust. In an atmosphere, it would have billowed and floated down much slower.
@andyjg i get mars!
