  • look up some anti-conspiracies on this one, and as soon as you escape the conspiratorial litany, its pretty obvious that we actually really did go to the moon.

  • FINALLY I had a chance to hear the mysterious Neil's voice.

  • @robertk131 Nope.

    miniature model of YOUR BRAIN....humm !!!

    Is it possible that some Practical Joker replaced your brain with four pounds of overcooked Knockwurst?

  • @chazjohn46 the russians did exactly that.

  • @amermahdy70 Simply because there's no atmosphere on the moon, then no oxygen to burn around the reaction... The flame/smoke is the product of an incomplete combustion.

  • humm fake backdrop fake camera following the lift off if we had that tech then why not send a remote robot to explore the moon nstead of sending a missile???????if anyone ever lands on the moon they wont be comming back thats for sure.

  • @amermahdy70 There was complete combustion which does not produce smoke. The flame produced was invisible, like a hydrogen flame.

  • @bigfist255 It's painful seeing people learning more as they read about the "hoax". Don't act all scientific when you have no scientific knowledge.

  • bs, it produces flame and smoke on earth, but on moon it didn't.!

  • @soberek You know, this has GOT to be the most animated I'd ever seen him. I mean applauding! He didn't get that animated when they blew up that umpty-gram sample of Cesium!

    Oh, and for the only other example of him being heard on YouTube, check out their hydrogen video -- the first time Dr. Pete....well, I won't spoil the surprise.
