Conspiracy Theorist Convinces Neil Armstrong Moon Landing Was Faked | The Onion - America's Finest News Source


This doesnt surprise me of our Government ; does it you ?

[Finger Laker]

I have to ask - do you actually believe what you read in that article?!

tone can be hard to detect on the internet, so I wanted to be sure

"He knows a lot more about faked moon landings than I ever could. He's been researching the subject on the Internet for years."

I love the onion. Great piece.

Based on all the evidence going against the 1969 Moon Landing that ive read and watched on YouTube....I think it is extremely unlikely that the U.S. went to the Moon . You should see how NASA's Rocket Testing went well before the actual Mission got underway ; it was a complete travesty . The U.S. had such a big ego on being the first to the Moon that they became obsessed with Russia beating us. What i believe happened, was, the SpaceCraft simply made numerous orbits around the Earth until the Movie Making in the Desert (the fake Moon Landing) was completed... then the SpaceCraft came back to Earth as 'mission accomplished' .

hey - fair enough - we all have opinions that others probably think are a bit wacky

however, unless you think other headlines from this source are also credible to debate a legitimate point - such as "michael vick fails to inspire team with good dogfighting story", "pepsi to cease advertising" or that "Liechtenstein, Andorra Forced to Fight by Larger Countries" - it should dawn on you that the Onion is a well known satirical publication

and as always, "Passersby were amazed at the unusually large amounts of blood"

How many times has the conspiracy theories been shown to be unfounded. Yet people still plug their ears and shout loudly "I reject your reality and substitute my own."

You all clearly know the onion is a spoof?

I really hesitate to discuss something like this with someone who is foolish enough to use Youtube as a point of reference.

If you actually had even a smidgen of scientific background you'd realize how you should be embarrassed by saying something like that in print.

Yes...I've seen the BS "we never went to the moon" stuff you choose to give credence to.

You do know for example that the Soviets ..as well as the USA had ground based radar systems that were more than capable of tracking low earth orbital objects ?? Which means that in addition to the thousands of USA staff that would have to be in on a scam like that you'd also have to included the Soviets. I guess they were in on it too huh ?? Gee I'd have thought they'd be more than happy to show how it was all a USA hoax.
