re: Does anybody know anybody who actually doesn't believe we landed on the moon?

The grandfather, and great uncle of some neighborhood kids I knew, said it never happened back in 1969.
Mr. Gregory's actual words were, "Didn't nobody land on no damn moon."

Yeah I got a few friends that do. The fact that 2 communist countries (China and former Soviet Union) have confirmed the landing is enough evidence for me to believe its true. China has a satelite that orbits the moon and had taken high resolution photos of the landing site. My friends don't bother to look at the facts of the landing.... Just what they read on conspiracy sites.

Is that a triple or quadruple negative? I think he might have been a believer.

Nasa has dishes just a skosh bigger than yours.

If we already did it in the 1960’s, then why can’t we just go do it again right now?
We could, in theory-- once we've retooled all the things necessary to build the launch vehicles, tested them, etc.
That isn't a fast process. You can't just strap a capsule on an ICBM and call it good, especially now.

It wasn't the worst I heard living in rural Mississippi in the 60's.
He was working on a bicycle during the conversation. Below is what he said after the Moon Landing discussion.
"These son-bitches torn up." he blurted out, as he threw a pair of pliers to the ground.
These people wore tobacco stained overalls every day, while they sat on their front porch, in green rocking chairs, doing powdered snuff.
I can remember several conversations like this, from people on our street, word-for-word.
Their next door neighbor was a guy who was sent to the State Hospital in Whitfield multiple times due to his alcoholism. One time he almost died from drinking Vitalis Hair Tonic.
Our next door neighbor was a younger alcoholic who's wife would call all of the moms on our street and warn them that they need to get the kids off the street because, "Tommy's coming home."
They'd all come out and yell for us to get out of the street. We'd all gather in a yard at the end of the street to watch him to make the turn, where the gravel turned to pavement, on two wheels in that red Galaxie 500 2-door.
Our widow next-door-neighbor on the other side drove a navy blue 1950 pickup. She had a son who got killed in Vietnam. We never knew him, because he'd already gone over there before we moved in. She got rid of her car and drove that truck til the day she died.
A man with two mules came around and plowed everyone's garden. We followed him from yard to yard.
Many fond memories from Crawford street. The way we grew up was closer to To Kill a Mockingbird, than the way kids grow up now.

You think R.E.M. would have written that song if we actually went?
Go outside...look up. We NEVER went to the Moon in 1969.
They broadcasted "LIVE" from the Moon in 1969 and I can't get DirectTV when it rains in 2019.
I just noticed this reply... where am I supposed to put R.E.M.? What level of credibility do the songwriters of that catchy tune deserve? Is their opinion more valid than the guy that worked a couple hundred miles west of them, Werhner von Braun?
If I go outside and look up at the moon, what am I looking for to validate or invalidate the 1969 landings? Mankind dreamed of going there for 25 centuries... and it finally happened.
DirectTV doesn't care, really all that much, if a rainstorm messes up your reception for a few minutes. NASA had to make the comm nearly flawless. When humans have motivation, a lot can be accomplished.

Do you believe the Soviet Lunokhod missions were faked? They were contemporaneous with the Apollo missions.
If they weren't, why would objectively inferior Soviet technology be sufficient while American technology be insufficient to send men/rovers to the moon?

I thought the karate instructor took you to the moon then y’all came back and landed at BTR.

I don't know... they turned an irbm grandpa worked on in the 50s into the delta i and ii. Its last (final) launch was only 10 months ago.

What an excellent point!! BTW, all being out on the table, the Soviet's Lunokhod spacecraft was badass. It just had the stench of desperation and failure on it. But really, a VERY cool part of humanity's achievement!
Do you know what museum the photos are from?
