re: Joe Rogan Podcast with Bart Sibrel - who here believes the Moon Landing was a hoax?

There's two things that bother me about stuff like this:

Number one there is an incentive for someone to tap into any crackpot idea that enough people believe, because you can make money off of it. The dumber the idea, The easier it is to extract money out of these people because they're not really good at thinking which is why they're convinced in the first place.

Number two, the list of countries which would love to try to shame the United States by providing evidence that the moon landing was fake is full of people that would love to do it if there was any actual evidence. The Russians or the Chinese or the Indians who are all launching their own probes and taking independent pictures that aren't being filtered by NASA aren't part of an American government conspiracy - The people that fall for this shite tend to be the kind of people who don't have passports and they don't realize that other countries exist and that American government isn't existing in some sort of a vacuum as the leader of the sneaky global cabal.

In the 60's we were taught about the Van Allen Belt. I didn't believe even as a kid that the moon landing actually occurred. It was impossible then and it still is.

Look at third world countries Russia (despite a slight crash) and China landing recently, along with Japan (no surprise there). I’m just confused how one takes off from the moon with enough thrust and precision to connect to the craft that orbits around the moon before leaving. Maybe I should read the wiki sometime..

…but isn’t that kind of risky knowing you only have one shot at it?

Astronauts made it through the Van Allen radiation belt with an aluminum shield and anyone who says otherwise believes the earth is flat & only 6000 years old.

Everyone only focuses on the footage from 1969 but they went back 5 MORE TIMES

I don’t believe anything our govt says.

One thing the "We faked it on a Hollywood Studio" people forget is that there was a major Hollywood movie contemporary to the moon landings. Stanly Kubrick's epic blockbuster "2001: A Space Odyssey" was released in April of 1968. It was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Art direction and won the Oscar for, Best Visual Special Effects. In short, it was the best that Hollywood could do at the time. Now, all one has to do is look at the Moon sequences from that movie and compare them to NASA's ACTUCAL footage from the moon. From the look of the lunar landscape, to the way the Astronauts move down to the behavior of the dust particles on the lunar surface, there are a lot of differences in the two.

Ladies and Gentlemen for your viewing pleasure....

Sibrel brings up some interesting stuff and I can’t say that I really trust our government BUT that dude 100% comes off as a paranoid schizophrenic.
