It won't make a difference to these people, there will just be a new layer to the conspiracy. Some are so devout, you could fly them up there are show them the sites, and they'll find a way to "justify" their belief.

I hope its survey is used sooner than later, but I fear that the will to utilize it is not strong enough. But I'll save that rant for a later post.

Still looking for something profound or inspirational to place here.

The conspiracy theorists would probably say that the ESA is in on it.

I'd like to see them try this since the ESA wasn't around in 1969,(in any modern incarnation) and I doubt highly that the French would go along with anything that promotes America being the First at anything.

They would just say that it doesn't matter if ESA wasn't around in those days or not, or something like that.

There's no real reason for proof from the ESA anyways, since NASA going to the moon was not technologically impossible at the time.

Hmm... okay.

As laughable as this moon-landing conspiracy subject is, it isn't even my favorite conspiracy theory, though it's evidently part of it:

The Flat Earth Society

I can never tell if these people are serious or not, but either way it gives me a chuckle.

Holy smoke! Did they say that they were "opposed to the fashionable politically correct Spherical Earth theory"... heh.

I still wait for if and when someone goes to the moon finds the sites, the conspiracy nuts will say we launched the debris up there and that we never did actually step foot on the moon. But if it was a hoax i really hope someone can prove it when they are on the moon. Still doubt the surveyor will be able to pickup the landing sites just adding credit to the conspiracy nuts.


P.S. I was on the grassy knoll

You know NASA has a satelite nearby to project the images onto the moon surface. ;>

don't be ridiculous.

if they were able to pull off a hoax in 1969, how much easier would it be to fake a return mission, now, that "finds" the debris from the "earlier missions"?



> P.S. I was on the grassy knoll

was that you with the umbrella? dammit, i couldn't see *anything* because of you!!
