Lunar Module or Homeless Tweaker's Shelter?

It's obvious you never took the time or do not have the capacity to research and learn how the moon missions and landings were accomplished. There were six successful missions of landing on the moon.

No thanks, I like my teeth.

I know that if we did not land on the moon the ussr would have called us out on it.

Of course we did….how would we have that commercial for MTV otherwise?

And yet, despite the fact that it was a relatively benign lie, there is a tremendous reluctance among the American people to let go of the notion that we sent men to the Moon. There are a couple of reasons for that, one of them being that there is a romanticized notion that those were great years – years when one was proud to be an American. And in this day and age, people need that kind of romanticized nostalgia to cling to.
But that is not the main reason that people cling so tenaciously, often even angrily, to what is essentially the adult version of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. What primarily motivates them is fear. But it is not the lie itself that scares people; it is what that lie says about the world around us and how it really functions. For if NASA was able to pull off such an outrageous hoax before the entire world, and then keep that lie in place for four decades, what does that say about the control of the information we receive? What does that say about the media, and the scientific community, and the educational community, and all the other institutions we depend on to tell us the truth? What does that say about the very nature of the world we live in?
That is what scares the hell out of people and prevents them from even considering the possibility that they could have been so thoroughly duped. It’s not being lied to about the Moon landings that people have a problem with, it is the realization that comes with that revelation: if they could lie about that, they could lie about anything.
It has been my experience that the vast majority of the people who truly believe in the Moon landings know virtually nothing about the alleged missions. And when confronted with some of the more implausible aspects of those alleged missions, the most frequently offered argument is the one that every ‘conspiracy theorist’ has heard at least a thousand times: “That can’t possibly be true because there is no way that a lie that big could have been covered up all this time … too many people would have known about it … yadda, yadda, yadda.”
But what if your own eyes and your innate (though suppressed) ability to think critically and independently tell you that what all the institutions of the State insist is true is actually a lie? What do you do then? Do you trust in your own cognitive abilities, or do you blindly follow authority and pretend as though everything can be explained away? If your worldview will not allow you to believe what you can see with your own eyes, then the problem, it would appear, is with your worldview. So do you change that worldview, or do you live in denial?
The Moon landing lie is unique among the big lies in another way as well: it is a lie that seemingly cannot be maintained indefinitely. Washington need never come clean on, say, the Kennedy assassinations. After all, they’ve been lying about the Lincoln assassination for nearly a century-and-a-half now and getting away with it. But the Moon landing hoax, I would think, has to have some kind of expiration date.
How many decades can pass, after all, without anyone coming even close to a reenactment before people start to catch on? Four obviously haven’t been enough, but how about five, or six, or seven? How about when we hit the 100-year anniversary?

The moonrocks we gave out were fake.

There's no atmosphere in space or on the moon. Lunar Module atmospheric drag is not an issue.
quote:
then took off in it, then navigated it back to earth.
Apollo astronauts returned to earth in the Command Module. Lunar Module decent stages were left on the moons surface.
Apollo 13's Lunar Service Model remained attached to the Command Module to assist with electrical power and heat in returning the astronauts safely to earth. Most all the rest were jettisoned orbiting the moon.
quote:
NASA burned Gus Grissom and his crew alive for calling them out. Look up “Gus Grissom lemon.” So if you’re wondering how people could keep a secret, that’s how.
Grissom was unhappy about the quality of the Command Service Module and unfortunately it turns out he was correct.
To assert that NASA intentionally murdered him and two others ignores the education and skill of all the program astronauts, including the phd level scientists and engineers that investigated and confirmed the accident cause, and redesigned faulty components to avoid a repeat.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Applying basic science and engineering principles as proof in this case is a good place to start.

Confirmed, by this standard I'm a retard.

Next thing you moon deniers will be doing is telling us we don't actually have an alien with his craft in Hanger 18 at WPAFB.
Gees, you guys really get to me.
Of course, I will admit to having have no logical explanation why Hanger 29 contains a fully fabricated moon surface, complete with US flag and Moon Lander mockup and a formula for Teflon drawer number 3 of a padlocked file cabinet in the attached reverse engineering lab.
Pitiful that the best scientists the military has have still not reversed engineered the power pack for the spacecraft he was piloting.

Why did the powers that be attack Stanley Kubrick so much if we actually landed on the moon

US Space program did not happen over night much less 10 years. Goddard started with his liquid fueled (gasoline) rocket back in 1926.
The F-1 engines that propelled the Saturn V first stage were developed during the 1950s.
IMO the Gemini program was more important than Apollo, if you can't change orbits or renedevouz with other spacecraft you are screwed. Also Navy aviators being able to manual land on aircraft carriers at night in the rain is a plus too.
But after having met 3 Apollo/Gemini astronauts you will never convince me that we never landed on the moon. Also had an engineering prof for 4 classes that built the Apollo first stage and he walked us through that project on his chalkboard.
Gemini 6&7.
We are standing on the shoulders of Giants.

What was accomplished with the technology of the day was truly remarkable.
My Dad worked on the early days USAF and NASA hardware engineering integration side of the navigation sensor systems. He would be astonished to see what's possible nowadays.

Yeah we went.
We just decided its not cool enough for repeat visits.
Seems reasonable.

Maybe it's just the part you copy and pasted but that article seems to be a bunch of words that don't actually provide any evidence

The opposite is true. From someone that has been working in the space program for 40 years: It has been my experience that the vast majority of the people who truly do not believe in the Moon landings know virtually nothing about the missions.

The US VS them mentality we had back then helped a lot.
I am amazed that we didn’t lose more crew members. Apollo 1 didn’t set a good precedent.
