This is one of my favorite debunks!!

These conspiracy minded encephilatics use Dr Van Allens Radiation Belt to support their conspiracy case yet they completely disclude Dr Van Allens conclusions. Van Allen spent the last of his years arguing against these malicious rejects of science and knowledge.

Hard to believe that these nutjobs think they have overturned science, pretty funny stuff. Even my 13 year old understands the moonlandings with Jr high school science, LOL:-p

Why is it stupid to go to the moon? Man must explore! Have you ever heard about the mars rovers? One is stuck in the sand but they works, after 5 years! Give my kind regards to Christer Fuglesang and to NASA and to ESA!

Yeah the 10,000 American engineers and scientists working on all the systems development had nothing to do with it, it was all because of a couple of Nazi Scientists, they did it all by themselves.

Idiot.

Whenever we say "we went to the moon." we should be saying "Thanks to nazi scientists, we went to the moon "

@DiscoveryNetworks what's the music on this?



[guitarplayer4real]

@marklh1 I'm sorry friend I cant name it. I like it as well and can usually nail the guitar players but this one eludes me. It does sound late 1970's but I dont even have a guess, its not EVH:-p

GL and if you find out let me know please!!!

[marklh1]

@ScottZirpolo I am desperate to get hold of the music - do you know what it is?

[marklh1]

@guitarplayer4real Sorry to bother you. I like your comments. Given your user name, and the fact that you have watched this clip, do you happen to know what the fantastic background music is is?

[marklh1]

Can anyone tell me what the music is on this clip - it's brilliant!

[tlages]

@Tyrannobeast I stand corrected. But I wont concede the point that going to Mars has a greater scientific value. If we could do both simultaneously it would be even better. But lets not ask the federal government to stop funding garbage to fund important things.

[Tyrannobeast]

@tlages I disagree. The Moon has large amounts of liquid water in the permanently shadowed craters on the poles, and great sums dissolved into the regolith across the surface, too. But it also has great exploration value, in that if the giant impact hypothesis is correct, the Moon is very geologically similar to the early Earth and by studying the Moon, a lot can be learned about Earth's history.

@ftucyk No the moon is dry and has no exploration value. Mars is better.
