NASA Wasting Time and Money on Moon Landing Doubters

Posted by chrisd on from the dead-scientists-spinning dept.

Rob Miles writes "Yahoo! News has this article about how NASA is paying aeronautics engineer James Oberg $15,000 to write a monograph gathering up materials answering the skeptics of the 1969 Apollo Moon Landing, point by point. It's a shame that even $1 has to be spent to debunk these conspiracy theorists with too much time on their hands. And it's unfortunate that the nutters will see this as validation of their ridiculous claims ('if our charges weren't true, NASA wouldn't bother answering them' they'll snivel.)"

    Typical liberal rubbish.

    You should use the word "libberish" instead, as it is funnier and uses fewer keystrokes.
