Conspiracy Theorists, Meet The Moon
Spock the Baptist writes "You can read about an article entitled: "Telescope to challenge moon doubters" in the online edition of Sydney Morning Herald. The SMH reports that, "European scientists are to use the world's newest and largest telescope to see whether the spacecraft are still on the lunar surface." Does anyone really think that this will change the alleged minds of doubters?"
Had astronauts ever landed on the moon, the cheese surely would have melted when they tried to blast off. Cripes, I can't even cook cheddar in my oven, a mere 400 degrees F, without it melting and getting all smelly. How could it have stood up to rocket blasts? Riddle me that!
Karma: Not Particularly Funny.
Spanish scientists, doubting Christopher Columbus' trip to the "new world" will use the same telescope to prove that the Earth is flat.
....over DMCA violation.
Allegedly, the European Scientists were using a new large telescope (technological means) to circumvent NASA encryption (Apparently they own that thing that if something's really freakin far away, you can't see it). Too bad the public will never know what really happened on that big orb in the night sky, so very, very far away.

"All lies! Only if the government gives me a ticket to fly over to where the telescope is located and see at it for myself and allow me to check out other things in space to ensure it's not a fake. Then MAYBE I'll believe them.
Hey, you've got my support. To cut down on costs, though, I'm going to vote for the one-way ticket option.
I can't understand why people doubt the lunar landings. I mean, it's not rocket science.
In other news, Alabama has passed new legislation requiring all history textbooks to include the following disclaimer before discussing the Apollo program:
Humans landing on the moon is just one of many equally valid theories concerning the video footage and rock samples resulting from the Apollo program. The moon landing is a controversial theory. Instructional material associated with controversy should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully, and critically considered."
Alabama history teachers are encouraged to devote class time to discussing other theories about the Apollo mission.
The only way you'll ever convince these people is to take them to the moon and let them touch the stuff.
And then leave them there, because we've got enough wackos planetside.
Look at the moon pictures published by NASA They are so obviously fakes. USA couldn't cut is before the '60s ended, so they had to make it all up to not lose face. It's all on the internet, if you don't believe me! Besides, I think they also made up women. I mean, how many of you can claim to have even seen one?? Exactly. They just don't exist, I tell you.
From the article...According to Mr Allen, NASA was forced to send robots to the moon and faked the manned missions because radiation levels in space were lethal to humans. Robots in 1969? These nuts need to stop smoking crack.
How ya like dat?
Of a Nasa project I worked on in the 60s. It is basically a filter for telescope lenses, which adds spacecraft to any celestial bodies you point it at. I did that when I worked at a Nasa base called "Lunar Landing" out in the desert in Arizona.
I think the date was April 1st 1969
You take them to the moon and show them the lander, they say it was planted there.
Well no shit. Isn't that what the argument is about?
It would seem to me they would have to say, "No, we are really in Arizona" at that point. This is when you encourage them to remove their helmet.
It's like one of those "How much do you believe" arguments to disprove alot of philosophy. Say you believe there is a chair all you want, let your mind and your body take a vote and see if your ass ends up on the floor.
Never confuse volume with power.
