Why the Moon Hoax makes no sense : Part 1

In July 2009 NASA took photos of several of the Apollo landing sites. The can be seen at: www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/LRO/multimedia/lroimages/apollosites.html

Part 1 of 9 of 'Why the Moon Hoax makes no sense' presented by Peter Barrett of the Canberra Skeptics on Friday, 13 April 2007 at the Visions Theatre, National Museum of Australia, Acton Peninsula.

There are people who believe that NASA faked the Moon Landings on a sound stage in Area 51, or Sudbury in Canada, or somewhere in Australia - and many people find Moon Hoax arguments superficially convincing.

But the logic which is used to support Moon Hoax arguments very quickly becomes self-contradictory. In fact, it requires NASA to be simultaneously brilliant and stupid. And although Moon Hoax supporters muster what appears to be strong technical evidence in support of their arguments, these arguments are surprisingly easy to demolish.

In this talk, Peter will examine a range of Moon Hoax arguments, explain why they make no sense, and discuss why the Moon Hoax matters. (Don't worry, no technical knowledge is required !)

thrust ratios cant lie. now even if we had the rocket that could make it , its to dangerous to try and that's so sad to me, we missed it. remember science is suppose to be scientific not blind faith. there is nothing scientific about this continued hoax on people who can add 2 numbers together and disprove the trip.ever happened.

The fact that something is difficult, doesn't make it impossible. Thousands of men and women, including the brave astronauts, poured so much time and effort into achieving the greatest technological achievement of ALL TIME, and it really is a shame that there is are so many skeptics rubbishing this event with their ridiculous theories, and its a kick in the face to the people who poured their heart and soul into this project.

Your theories have been debunked. please stop talking and accept it.

@amor987654321 They are not skeptics, they are deniers. A skeptic is someone who accepts the scientific evidence on a topic. Deniers are nay-sayers who ignore any evidence that contradicts their dogma.

its very easy to swear if they dont say a lie.

[mddawson1]

@smogmontser the mentally retarded monkey troll

USSR took photos of stars from space and so did shuttle discovery you sick monkey

[smogmontser]

@DeadJesus100 It's called basic photography 101. Read up on a little thing called "exposure times" and then maybe, just maybe you might learn something. And get some anger management help or a hug from mommy. It scares me to see little kids like yourself with so many emotional problems & mental health issues, not to mention a complete shit education. Now run along son, grown folks are talking.....
