You could also refer them to the moon landing episode of Mythbusters. They spend the entire hour debunking the common examples conspiracy theorists give. That's what I usually do.
Once you realize that, you see there is no perfect argument to convince someone the moon landings weren't fake. It's like trying to argue with someone that they like the color green. People who believe the moon landings were faked take that as something fundamental, so there must be something wrong with any argument that says they were real.
The best you can do, and what this argument is good for, is keeping those guys from convincing someone else that the moon landings were faked.
Fine clip, thanks for posting. I was privileged to be among the millions watching tv the day Armstrong did his thing. I never doubted for a moment that it was real.
I to never doubted the landing.I have transferred from 8mm to DVD the landing on the moon,fun to watch.
Maybe the Chinese will land there mission in same area.I would imagine they would like to zero in on this area.
Very entertaining video! I like the line about how we now have the ability to accurately fake the moon landing but seem to have forgotten how to do it for real.
Slow motion film effects were used as early as 1954. "Seven Samurai".
By 1969 Sam Peckinpah used them all the time.
His "live" argument fails because Moon Hoax proponents never claim
the "landing" segments were faked live. They were filmed beforehand.
Mission Control was not part of the fraud. They were fooled just like
the viewers. The feeds they received did not have to be real on the moon.
No serious Moon Hoax proponent insists Stanley Kubrick was involved.
He did not have to be involved at all.
His splicing/film tech argument is invalid. He doesn't even mention film-out
technology which existed. I'm talking about video-to-film conversion, not
film-to-film conversion as he did. For example, "Theater performances have been preserved with Kinescope for many years – the 1964 New York production of Hamlet with Richard Burton, for example, was shot on video and printed as a film that was released in movie theaters using this process". Thus, video could be manipulated until the final product
was converted to film.
I am not saying it was a hoax. I am saying that his arguments would be
shred to bits by the serious, prepared Moon Hoax proponents.
