Whoopi Goldberg: "Who shot the footage?!"

[Ocelot]

What the British have to do with it?
They were probably referring to a survey done by Engineering and Technology magazine, where one of the outcomes was that about 25% of the British believe that we never landed on the moon http://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/space/07/17/moon.landing.hoax/index.html

If they said 35% then they're probably refering to this survey perfomed by I don't know who, using unknown questions in an unknown structure commissioned to promote the x files movie.

That's how the best science is done.

Yeah, because we really know that nobody would spoof a serious research questionnaire like that at all, don't we?

Whoopi Goldberg, Moon Landing Conspiracy Theorist

Wonders why the Apollo 11 flag was rippling when there's no wind. (Note: I haven't seen the actual video - my employer takes a dim view of my streaming video - so there may be more to this than what the short blurb says.)

Someone should send her this video of Mythbusters Jamie and Adam.

Well why did no-one mention this before?

Yeah, it ain't rocket science.





Oh, wait. . . .

Rocket science is quite easy (relatively). Rocket engineering is the really hard bit! (spoken as an ex-engineering student frustrated with the lack of respect high-level engineering gets!)

Check post #2. Perhaps you should take a break from the forum for a couple hours.

Whoops...... You were talking to Cicero. Im also a moron.

It's time to reveal "teh turth"

Leave it to a cartoonist to ask the tough questions

Isn't it strange that the USSR, with its own space program, battalions after battalions of physicists and rocket scientists, and nearly unlimited resources whenever there was a propaganda victory to be won, had over two decades to catch this but didn't? It takes a Hollywood has-been to point this out.

Let me see.... Last time I looked, Ms. Goldberg was an actor. In other words, her authority on this is exactly worth as much as that of Joe Redneck.

Looking at her last name, I saw something in it I can't believe I've never seen before. Is Whoopi Jewish or something?

 

[Cicero]

Your initial post before edit, then your quotes that suggest that the camera was never moved from the LM, and then you saying that I said something that was actually said by another forum member.

Since it wasn't the completed post, that was just you being anal. How are posting quotes from internet sources that only mention the video camera being stationed in the lunar module my error? I already said I made an error in the attribution. I made the fatal assumption that the poster objecting to a post that was in response to technoextreme was technoextreme.

Are you still finding fault with the two points I raised?

1) The video camera was operating not only from a tripod.
2) The video camera was operating not only from the lunar module.

No DUH. Its not what you said at first is all I am saying. You corrected yourself. I was joking around.

No. Her name is Karen Caryn Johnson. (Sorry, I've only heard it, so I didn't realize it was a nonstandard spelling til I looked. My bad.) Whoopi Goldberg is her stage name.

Agh, wiki says she has Jewish ancestors. Never mind.

And John Wayne's name was actually Marion.

I know!

Barbara Walters used to be one of the most respected names in journalism. This woman could have sit downs with presidents, popes and captains of industry.

Yeah, she could sit down with presidents and popes and ask the most inane and asinine questions one could conceive of. Asking Castro if she can touch his beard - a regular Edward R. Morrow she is. But you are right, Whoopie and the others are imbeciles. Wasn't one of them unsure whether or not the world was round?

 

[tomwaits]

So she claims.

 

[shadron]

So she claims.

Any reason to doubt her word? or yours?

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

That's right, we were only up to bipods at that point, and of course they'd always fall over...

Nominated for pith....

 

[bigred]

Sorry, but I thought this was hilarious...

Whoopi Goldberg says there are still questions to be answered about the moon landing

Whoopi JAQs off on national television!

whoopi says something asinine, what a surprise.

Hey it's not Vick's fault he did all those bad things, it was his environment!

gasp

racist!!

 

[slingblade]

That's all I'm saying: claims are out there, so my reply of "No" is questionable.
