  • I can't believe some people have shit for brains and don't believe we landed on the moon. You can see the landing sights at any observatory with a high powered telescope. It is just ignorance that leads people to believe idiotic things like this. Way to not believe in your own country guys. And for those of you who don't believe we went the first time, we are going back in 2020, so there will be no misunderstanding that America has been and will again be the first nation to land on the moon.

  • god speed, von braun!

  • @619badazz13 Die

  • @619badazz13 Priceless. I suppose I would have to be to come down to your level. I'm not the one boasting false claims with no evidence at all. I don't have a problem. you have no proof, and that is your problem.

    ALL you have to do is look at the LRO photo's to see the evidence of the six Apollo landings and most of the lunar probes, such as Surveyor-3. which is my last point. the Apollo 12 retrieval of the Surveyor-3 camera and soil scoop, which is currently on display at the NASM. go see it.

  • @1MtnBoy are you retarded is that your problem

  • @619badazz13 FOOTPRINTS ! explain how they were just photographed in painful detail.............AGAIN.

    this time Goddard brought the newest LCROSS LRO down from a 50 km orbit to a 13km orbit to take photo's at .025 meter resolution. go look at any of the 6 landing sites just photographed and face the truth. there's your PROOF.

  • By 2020-2022 America will be the first to take humans to Mars.

  • @1MtnBoy NEITHER DO YOU HAVE ANY PROOF , U FAIL BIG TIME JACK

  • @619badazz13 You have no PROOF Drone. I on the other hand do, the final nail in the hoaxers coffin.

    FOOTPRINTS. please explain the LROC photo's showing the astronauts FOOTPRINTS !

    you cannot, go troll somewhere else.

    the flat earth society at its shining best.

    Hey ! how did that movie studio get on the Moon ? LMAO.

    yes and the Earth is flat and the Sun revolves around the Earth too.....Geez, go back to school Jarrah Drone.

  • @Blahblobify SORRY BUDY MAN HAS NEVER BEEN TO THE MOON , U HAVE NO LIFE 4 EYES

  • @619badazz13

    They are military pilots that wouldn't notice a pimple like you if you fell from the sky.

  • @xvoy2002 This flight was a suborbital actually. The first two Mercury flights were. They used Redstone rockets. The third flight was with an Atlas rocket and put John Glenn in orbit. But it is pretty amazing how the astronauts had the guts to get in those cans and be blasted into space!!!!
