Comment Re:Moon landing evidence? (Score 0) 65

I don't know whether the Apollo moon landings were faked or not; I wasn't around in 1969. However, I never used to question it.

But after people started questioning it and bringing up some very interesting points, I do question it too. Believing something simply because the masses believe it is not proof. It is foolishness.

However, if your belief is that the Apollo moon landings were legitimate, then please explain to me how the astronauts got through the Van Allen belt? And why are there so many doctored pictures of the moon landings?

This reminds me of the Mythbusters TV show that attempted to bust the myth that the Apollo moon landings were faked.

There were 2 problems with that episode:

1. Multiple light sources on the moon - this was explained as the 'properties of the composition of rock' on the moon. However, NASA did not provide Mythbusters with any real moon rock samples. Instead, they provided some substance that they claimed 'had a similar makeup' to the 'reflective' moon rocks for the Mythbuster's test. Perhaps they should redo their test with some 'authentic' $10000/gram moon rock?

Think about it: If you were investigating the credibility of someone, would you take their word over verifyable scientific proof? How do we know for sure that the NASA 'artificial' moon rock is the same as the rock on the moon? Who can verify this?

2. The Van Allen radiation belt. There is no mention at all on Mythbusters as to how the Astronauts made it though the VA belt. AFAIK, it would have been impossible to survive. Yet, not a scratch on the Astronauts flying to the moon with 60's technology.

I used to be a huge fan of NASA as a kid. As I got older, I realized that NASA has about as much credibility as 21st century governments.

I think they only way they could be successful is if they (Facebook) bought Linkedin.

Unless a company's official website is a Facebook page or your work requires Facebook use (advertising, law enforcement), I just don't see companies allowing you to waste time with the world's largest gossiping tool - Facebook, Workbook, Wastebook, or whatever.
