That Mitchell and Webb Look - Moon Landing Sketch

Sketch by David Mitchell and Robert Webb in That Mitchell and Webb Look Series 4 Episode 2.
Wouldn't it be great to make everyone think we'd landed on the moon..
Why don't we just release the footage of the Mars landings?

Your nurse just called, apparently you got on on the internet again. Go back at take your meds. We are doing just fine without you.

plus, the soviets were watching the process, hearing the communications, and spying on every building this process went over. If they had noticed something, the first thing they would have done is say it to the whole world, but they didn't.

No-one reflects radio signals off of the moon. They reflect laser signals off of the reflective plates that astronaughts left there.

"Newtons laws of physics have yet to be disproved in 600yrs"

Actually, if you knew anything about quantum mechanics, you'd know that yes, Newton's laws have indeed been disproven.

Sure, they work well enough within a macroscopic frame of reference, but they're only a very rough approximation in the end, and ultimately wrong.

Just saying.

Now, carry on.

[prosperomage]

Yes. People are gullible because they don't understand the laws of physics.

So ... when are you going to get a physics book and study up?

[TheBrammer27]

It was enough to make a massive hole in the structure though - I wasn't saying it would be enough to move the entire building. It is also enough to bend the steel to the point it would be weakened enough to buckle under the weight of the building above

[cheerdiver]

"Momentum" as in for every pound of plane there would be a ton of tower. Newtons laws of physics have yet to be disproved in 600yrs, but somehow u want me to believe they are false??

The occupants of the Empire St bld said "the building swung like a pendulum for 30sec" no one said anything like that in 01'.

No steel beams were sheared in the ESB, and the airframe fell OUTSIDE the Ext wall, onto a lower roof.

[TheBrammer27]

Have you not heard of something called MOMENTUM?

Something travelling as fast as a plane and weighing as much as one will have a lot of momentum, and that's not factoring in the explosion generated by igniting the kerosene jet fuel. Also, no building is made of one continuous sheet of steel. There are joints - weak points - in the structure that a plane would obviously break through (due to momentum). Seriously, read up on physics before trying to insult other people's knowledge of it...

[ArCosc1987]

No no no no no. Find out why the towers ACTUALLY collapsed before you start mouthing off. The aluminium didn't "shear" the steel. The raging fires raised it to above its creep temperature, and it slowly deformed under the self-weight of the buildings, transferring more and more load to the compromised concrete structure, which failed under brittle fracture when the stress reached its compressive strength.

[AmadeusPower]

Switch on brain: for what possible reason would anyone have wanted to destroy those buildings with bombs? If a false flag attack was the point, flying planes into the buildings was entirely enough. Why use explosives that will make the whole thing completely unbelievable to the common spectator? Organizing the terrorist plane take-over was extremely easy. Destroying the buildings? Hasn't even been done, EVER, at that scale. And we all know how good government is at screwing everything they touch
