Merged Discussion of the moon landing "hoax"

[fess]

Pretty good punch for an older, smaller guy.

If I hadn't already been charged with A&B on a police officer, I would have thrown a punch too. Trouble is, the law doesn't like it when you do something wrong twice.

The guy called Buzz a liar and a coward! No need for that.

Age and stature aside, I’m not very tolerant of people calling me a liar and a coward. I would have decked the bastard also.

Did you write the code for the backup computer also? If so, I'll stick with using my trusty E6B.

I filtered out the fallacies and mistakes for you.

Wow, SO clever!

And mind-bogglingly wrong.

And the 6% users will eat you.

I use 100%, brupppppp, you were good.

NEXT!

I'm waiting for that lonnnnnngggg list of people in NASA telling us it was just a joke.

I'm waiting for the proof that the Russians were in on it,and for a yes/no answer to the Buzz Aldrin question. Did Buzz Aldrin walk on the Moon,Justinian? Is he a liar?

I hope not, they are supposed to be developed by seperate teams using seperate code.

He's not a liar if government insisted that he not reveal that the moon landing was going to either fail or need an infusion of billions of dollars. But this is all speculation.

If space flight goes commercial, we could get back up to the moon very cheaply and cover our tracks. The space shuttle could have delivered three LM's to the moon in one shot! OK, off into science fiction on that one.

Not a lie probably an internalized false memory.

 

[tsig]

If the Russians had got even the faintest smell of a hoax they would have shouted it from the rooftops. Are you suggesting that the Russian government was and still is a part of your supposed conspiracy?

We sold them cheap wheat. Yes that is used as a reason on other sites.

As long as Justinian2 had nothing to do with the develoment, I should be OK.

I thank Justinian2 for keeping my family safe...

BTW, I can see Justinian2 already gearing up to talk himself into when we finally get back to the moon and they find the Apollo hardware there. I'm sure his argument will be, "well, they've had 50 years to plant that evidence to cover their tracks"

Pre-rationalization ROCKS!

They'd have to go there to plant the evidence..

 

[twinstead]

They'd have to go there to plant the evidence..

Yup. But it would have been a few years later when it wasn't "impossible"

Actually with the increased computing power we have now I'm surprised we can't go to the moon when we want.

 

[John Jones]

This confirms my long-held belief that moon hoax believers are the most obstinate of all the woo-woos.


They'll believe anything but the truth.

I think it was Jay Windley who said something like, "How much thrust does your Pentium 4 generate"?

 

[Regnad Kcin]

Again, logical fallicies including ad hominen attacks, straw man arguments, and spamming do NOT change my mind and they shouldn't be expected to.

That's somewhat rich.

"Again," why do you cling to this astoundingly foolhardy claim? You're not going to find a smoking gun that blows the conspiracy wide open. There is no smoke. There isn't even a gun.

They are used by three biggest airline manufacturers.

Oh really? Exactly which flight computers and which airlines?

An Order of Magnitude is a factor of ten.

Ten is 10 to the one
A hundred is 10 to the two.
A thousand is 10 to the third.

Ten is in the first order of magnitued, a hundred is in the second order of magnitude

Uh huh. And you said 1, where the actual number was more in the high tens. Placing it being off between 1 and 2 magnitudes.

This is the twilight zone. I'm exiting the thread.

 

[dafydd]

The public should be warned.

 

[Sledge]

I think Buzz Aldrin should be told.
