@potrodsas Why is it that the VAST majority of people who believe in the hoax are internet geeks? If you were face to face with a scientist and you put forward your case, you would be completely intellectually raped, and you would have a very red face after about 10 minutes or so.

@auh786 No serious PERSON has ever doubted it----only complete nut jobs...

[whoahesgood]

There will always be people whom distrust the Official story.

And its really ludicrous..

at this rate, no story will ever be believed.

come on folks.. not everything is a lie -_-

All those things are great, but none of those things really captured the public's imagination. NASA has sort of lost their way. But there is hope - the space program in the US has started to go to commercial companies. It's about time that space be open to the general public.

@lophilip We haven't exactly gone back to the moon but I still think we have done some amazing things. Take the ISS for example. As far as being exclusive to the United States, we had SkyLab and currently have the Space Shuttle. What about the Hubble Space Telescope and the detailed images of the planets in our solar system and 1000's of galaxies beyond it? I agree though, without research, the idea of visiting the moon seems insane.

I can understand why a lot of people doubt the moon landing. At a time where digital watches were unheard of, a computer that fit into a room was new, Nasa put a man on the moon..... AND the worst of it: haven't accomplished much in terms of man space flight since then.

Chev4206 - morons like you are not worth arguing with here. The only worthy response to the "moon-landing was a hoax" bullshit was that of Buzz Aldrin's fist to Bart Sibrel's face.

You deserve the same from Jim Lovell.

@malticologne Nobody is taught this in school these days.

@DracoC47 Hold on, have we misunderstood each other here? I say why do so many people believe in the hoax, and you thought I was referring to the real landings (WHICH HAPPENED, FULL STOP) as "the hoax", ergo I was actually saying "why do so many people believe that the moon landings happened?". No no no, I just notice that a lot of people who believe it was a hoax use the internet to vent their ideas on young and susceptible minds, where they can just blank you if you prove them wrong.
