Tonight's Poll- Fact or Fiction?

 

I wanted to take a poll regarding the 1969 Apollo moon landing. 

A) We actually went to the moon and the event is as reported.

B) We never went to the moon and it was a Hollywood production filmed in a studio by Stanley Kubrick.

Here is an image of the Apollo 11 lunar module



My thoughts? It was a complete hoax on the world. So leave a comment A or B and if you select B, mention any possible reasons for the hoax. I have seen soap box derby cars and Weber grills built better than this Tonka Toy!

I don't even believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny anymore so I will reserve comment.

B. Photography astronauts on moon looks too good for chest mounted cameras. When module blasted off from moon, camera pans up to keep it in shot, etc.

Really? This is still going on? I have family that worked at Grumman. Real.

We did it. We got lucky as hell but we did it.

Do I think we can do it today? Nope, crash and burn. Todays engineers are not as sharp as 60's and 70's engineers.

BTW: I am an RF Engineer

A.
If your whole reasoning is that something designed for 1/6 gravity in an almost total vacuum looks flimsy... it is.

Do you also think (as I've seen claimed) that the flag is unfolded because of the wind?

What about the other six (or whatever it was)? Look into all of them.

It was faker than fake. About as fake as a fake virus names Covid.
Funny how in 1969, with literally no computers, we went to the moon, landed on it, walked on it and returned...no problem..on the very first try!!
Fast forward a few decades later, with technology up-the-ass and we had one space shuttle that blew to pieces trying to leave and another one that disintegrated trying to re-enter. Think about it.

How did these get there then?

The more I learn about government and the lengths they will go to, the less I believe ANYTHING it says.

Johno said...

B! Why?, well both Aldrin (sole remainig Apollo 11 astronaut) and Kubrick admit that it was a hoax. You fellas should send a bill to NASA and the USAF and USN, demanding that they repay all that money defrauded from you as taxation, in support of the moon landing.

It was as real as it gets.

It was real. If it had been a video hoax, the Russians, the Chinese, hell, the Peruvians would have made one too.

B. Government only knows how to lie. Van Allen belt prevents it, but getting hardware there is a possibility, just not living things.

Joe D said...

Hey Chief. If you ever get the chance, watch the 1978 movie Capricorn One.

The deniers of the moon landings are further proof of our education system failures. Next thing you're going to say is that bridges can't exist because you've never built one. What else do you deny because you've never experienced it yourself. Please give me examples, I need a good laugh.

It happened not in spite of not having computers but because of talented and brave men and women. Like any other Herculean voyage of discovery, it was ambition, effort, courage and faith. The human spirit will squeeze every ounce, and then some, from the technology at hand. Today, we've gained technology but lost the spirit to believe we can.

And yet the US is the only country to have done it. And never been back. And now can't figure out how to get through the Van Allen belts. And don't even dare fly anywhere near them. And with computers no better than a computing calculator. And on the first try. And somebody got the equivalent of a single pixel reflected back from a highly reflective surface which proves there's a reflector that's even more reflective than the reflective surface around it that someone had to have placed there. And Joe Biden got 81 million votes and Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. I enjoy most fairy tales, but that doesn't mean I believe them.

Real. NASA isn't competent enough to keep a secret this long. We now even know the CIA killed JFK.

Are you freaking serious about even asking this question?

Of course it was real.

⁸To Joe D. above. How were the pyramids built 5000(?) years ago? They didnt have any computers either but there they are. So humans couldnt build/do anything before computers?

Joe D said...

Were the pyramids built on the moon?

BTW...one faulty O-Ring blew up one of them...ONE.....O....Ring.

A good video here. This guy explaiins that the technology to go to the moon did exist in 1969, but the technology to fake the video did not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_loUDS4c3Cs&t=659s
