Have you guys ever SEEN that old video of the moon landing?

It looks so much like a BAD sudio set up, I nearly peed my pants laughing when I'd first seen it!

I don't think the moon landing was real- I think we faked it to get Russia off our backs!

I do believe that we've been to the moon since, but not then-

EDIT: Currently looking for videos of the event, it's hard to find the original one. I'd only seen it because I visited a NASA Research Center several times as a kid, and I remember how fake everything looking in it.

This is one of the modern 'conspiracy theories' of our time.

Here's a shaky video, not the one I'm used to seeing. The audio seems the same completely. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghBnkaNOUCU

Also, to give you all a better idea of what it would've taken in 1969 to get to the moon- here's a pic of a computer in that time. Take that to space with you. :/

There's more pics of computers from that era HERE

This video is an argument against our landing. It just has clips of the original vid in it. >_<

And here the video seems like it, but the audio is crap- I can't win!

Part of the reason the public is so unsure about the landing is that NASA said they don't have the original video anymore to be scrutinized...

Haha, on another note, here's a video making fun of the conspiracies...

Well, he certainly makes lots of good points. I'm not sure I agree with your argument about the computers, even if I agree with the possible concept of a hoax. After all, they might have taken a computer like that with them. It's not like they put the whole (alleged) trip together in two seconds. It would have taken lots of time to get the whole thing wired up, but it probably took lots of time to build the rocket and do the calculations and train the astronauts. Plus they had experts on computer wiring hat were probably working for them. So really it probably wasn't that much effort in comparison.

I for one believe that the first time was a hoax.....i have seen the vid from nasa but it is so crappy that i could propably do it myself in the back yard with my great grandma's camera

Yeah, my biddy has this theory that America used the moon landing to stop the cold war with Russia.

The computer thing, I dunno. It's just that, I've never seen a convincing thing about it.

The argument that the moon landing was a hoax has been shot down so many times and yet people still persist in believing it. -_- Here's a link illustrating the debunked myths about it: [link]

Well, the website's wrong about the shadows, definitely. You CAN calculate the exact location of a light source based on the angel of the shadows, there's no 'guesswork' (see http://www.redzero.demon.co.uk/moonhoax/Shadow_Angles.htm)

Also, the angle of a shadow downhill? The she shadow would contort when it leaves the hill, too, going back to the left like the other one! You'd have a shadow with an angle down the slope, then the angle would go back to behaving according to it's only light source!

This is either two light sources, or one above and between to two.

http://www.redzero.demon.co.uk/moonhoax/Shadow_Lengths.htm

Also, the shadows being so dark indicates incredibly close light (yea, the sun is bright, too), but natural light fades softly at the edges (just like it does in that crater behind the astronauts in the previous page. Their shadows need to match that crater in behavior, or they are false. It's really that simple.)

Someone should go to the moon to find that American flag or something, whatever they left up there as proof, lol

naw they should measure the footprints and w/e how long ago that was, MAYBE IT WAS FROM TEH DINOSAUR PERIOD! omg how'd that happen? weeelll, I was too lazy to see the entire thing, but based on what you said, maybe it IS a fake vid, but then again, they couldnt record it on the moon? (u no, I have limited knowledge over here, so dont expect me to say something brainy, like "The Sun's in the Sky, did you Know that?" pfft.... so genius...)
