NASA has become too political -- I am unable to trust their prediction models.

Isn't this basically the same claim used by those who believe the moon landing was a hoax?

" the moon landing was a hoax". Oh come on. There is no moon! http://www.revisionism.nl/Moon...
"But don’t all qualified scientists and astronomers agree that there is a moon?
Indeed, but shouldn’t one be suspicious of such unanimity, when universities are supposed to be forums for open debate of controversial issues. Even a layperson like myself knows that scientists are not supposed to approach issues with preconceived notions. Yet this principle is cast aside when the moon is at stake. You will never see the revisionist perspective on the moon being taught in institutions of higher learning, even as a controversial opposing view. In fact, in order to even become a recognized scientist in the current atmosphere of academic repression, one must pay lip service to the establishment’s orthodoxy. Could you imagine a student who argued the revisionist viewpoint on the question of the moon being awarded a degree? He would be hounded out of the university in an instant! How can one explain such behavior from institutions that are supposed to serve as forums for the free exchange of ideas, except to conclude that the establishment has something to hide? "

What a bunch of rubes! http://www.revisionism.nl/Moon/The-Mad-Revisionist.htm

Come on, we all know The "Moon" Does Not Exist!!!!

We couldn't have gone to the moon. It doesn't exist.

        You can see it. But think about it - without the help of so-called "experts", how do you really know what you're looking at? It could be a hologram, projected from various government installations throughout the world. It could be a large, crudely painted balloon, held in place by helium and propelled by tiny sails and rudders (which is why it moves across the sky so slowly). Or, most likely, it could have been different things at different times and different places, depending on the technology available to the conspirators and the culture and beliefs of the population being deceived.

        The hoax could easily have been imposed on a gullible world at many points in human history. Perhaps it began as a collective hallucination or a religious myth, or perhaps an especially bright star that came to be exaggerated over time. However the moon story started, early proponents of the hoax were swift to recognize how it could be exploited for their benefit, and shrewdly devised a scheme to use it to their advantage.

        They began to spread rumors, falsify scientific observations, and invent new gods to represent this fictional celestial body. They ingeniously concocted the idea of "cycles of the moon", and as their resources increased, were able to create the illusion that this object in the sky actually went through such changes. To make their hoax more plausible to early, superstitious societies, they arranged for these cycles to coincide with the months of the year.

        But don't all qualified scientists and astronomers agree that there is a moon? Indeed, but shouldn't one be suspicious of such unanimity, when universities are supposed to be forums for open debate of controversial issues. Even a layperson like myself knows that scientists are not supposed to approach issues with preconceived notions. Yet this principle is cast aside when the moon is at stake. You will never see the revisionist perspective on the moon being taught in institutions of higher learning, even as a controversial opposing view.

How can one explain such behavior from institutions that are supposed to serve as forums for the free exchange of ideas, except to conclude that the establishment has something to hide?

        But who could or would perpetrate such a hoax? Although it is impossible to fully fathom the depth of the deception without further research, the primary culprits are easy to spot. First of all, the various secret societies and religious orders to which the scientists responsible for propagating the moon hoax have belonged from the beginning. One can easily trace the history of this deception through the Templars, the Rosicrucians, the Illuminati and the Masons, by way of the various scientists - from Ptolmy to Copernicus to Newton - whose "observations" have been vital toward putting a scholarly veneer to the moon myth. To this day, universities and government agencies such as NASA are full of "scientists" of this kind.

        However, responsibility cannot go solely to academic scientists who initiated the hoax, nor to the organizations to which they belong which have sought to use this deception in their struggle for world domination. Many other governments and institutions have been co-opted over the years, to the point where, today, belief in the moon is so nearly universal that it holds incredible sway over public opinion in our country.

I agree this is a funny post.
But it is a rip off of a much more elaborate piece.

Or the aliens. What about the aliens who want to hack your WAP? I've heard about them....

Everyone know that this mission will fail.
Simply beacuse there is no moon

There are pictures of the moon from before 1954

Oh, sure, there are pictures of a round white object before 1954, but are they of the *moon*? Can you accurately determine the distance to and composition of the object? That's just the spy balloon.

When are people going to wake up and realize that the moon is just a propaganda hoax?

What is it? Read a few links to inform yourself. What I really want to know is why this conspiracy keeps continuing. You know the one I'm talking about. Canada. Canada doesn't really exist. Want proof? Let me show you.

A few questions about Canada:

But I can see Canada! It's on our maps!
Ah, yes. You have been brainwashed by the governments of the world with their lies. Without the help of so called "map experts", would you really know what you were looking at? It could be Alaska for all you know. It could have been imposed on a gullible world at many times in history. From the beginning of the so-called "New World", people have been convinced that Canada exists.

Don't all of these experts agree that Canada exists?
Yes, they do, but should one be suspicious of such overwhelming agreement? Obviously they are trying to hide something. Would an individual student that talks of such a topic in a school be awarded a degree for talking such "nonsense"? No, he/she would be ostracized by classmates. And so, the groupthink makes a self fulfilling prophecy.

Who would ever want to perpetrate such a hoax?
It's hard to say how many have played a part in this conspiracy over time, but the primary players are easy to spot. The US government, of course, has played its own role in the hoax. They even invaded "Canada" at one point in their history to build nationalistic pride, even though the US "lost" that war. Imagine how easy it was to start the hoax back then, with no TV or radio, only newspaper articles that were hopelessly out of date! People all over the world simply assume that Canada exists now, and that is something that governments, both official and secret, can hold over the people.

And so, now that you know, can anyone come forth with proof that Canada exists?

How could there be a Moon landing when there IS NO MOON!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111111111111

Man, are you behind the times. The Moon is a hoax, in and of itself. That's why it was so easy to fake landing on it.

Moon me baby

KFG

Fool! You believe the lies The Man has been feeding you?

This so-called "moon" never existed in the first place! It's a propaganda hoax cooked up by The Establishment to The People down.

.....is well put at this website.

This is just another cynical attempt to embezzle tax dollars - everyone knows there is no moon.

Well at least they are denying the Landing on the moon and not The Existance of the moon it self

Wow.... My favorite is A Lunar Revisionist performs a statistical experiment PROVING the moon non-material. Note that the wine bottle was empty.

As if the people who claim the NASA missions to the moon are hoaxes didn't have enough ammuntion already...

Oh, come on. The Moon is a Propaganda Hoax. The Mad Revisionist is even offering $100,000 for anyone who provides them, by e-mail, conclusive physical evidence of the existence of the moon.

This fellow has decided to take Holocaust Revisionism to its logical conclusion. A lot of info on some of the great historical hoaxes.
