I was kind of dreading looking on this topic tonight, to see if anyone had dissected the NASA press conference and suddenly made me think, ''yes of course, how stupid of me, it was all genuine and I as wrong''
But no! Cleverly photoshopped pictures of 'kiosks' on 'lunar' surfaces and laughing smileys is all I see.
Hilarious they may be, but hardly constructive, and hardly helpful in a sensible debate.
So where does all this take us?
Ian, in his inimitable style says (paraphrasing) that 'no one has ever produced unequivocal evidence that the lunar landings were a sham'
But, I would counter that by saying that the opposite is true. That being, by putting forward hoardes of anomalies that have never been properly explained, then by 'a death of a thousand cuts' .... it is reasonable to assert that the lunar landings were faked.
Apart from the shifty and embarrassed behaviour by these pioneering astronauts, (who incidentally, and suspiciously all resigned from NASA less than a month after the Apollo11 ''mission'') ... I find it incredibly hard to believe that in the 1960's, where everything was switches and buttons... we possessed the capability and technology to send human beings to the moon and return them safely
In closing, I believe that Apollo 11 blasted off successfully, attained an orbit of approx 350 miles, (as did Soyuz and other similar missions of the day) ... and returned to Earth a few days later, as it was politically and financially expedient to do so.
Anyone who feels that governments are not capable of such vast cover ups needs to look at the JFK assassination and the Atom Bomb (Manhattan project)
