  • It is true they did land

  • See if they can debunk this one, the flag waving WITHOUT anyone touching it:

  • @gxsrbaby As your embarrassing error with the greenhouse effect demonstrated, you really dont know anything. Before you barge in with any more stupidity, full disclosure. I'm a former Astronomy teacher. I've worked in observatories and taken time elapsed pics of stars and everything, direct first hand experience. So dont think you can cut and paste "radiation!" and not sound dumb.

    Guess what. Kodak film is exposed to "low radiation" EVERY SECOND. So are you. 600 mrem a year

  • @gxsrbaby Sorry, but you've got that ass backwards.

    No atmosphere no greenhouse effect, meaning the heat hits the surface and is reflected right back into space. On Earth the light and heat is bounced around a few times. Mars isnt cold because its far, its cold because it has no atmosphere blanket.

    You know what the hottest planet is? Hint, if you say "Mercury" you get a BZZZZ. Its Venus. Venus has a crushing atmosphere, crushing greenhouse, and is hotter than even Mercury

  • @SpreadingtheMuse The lack of an atmosphere means that the lunar surface receives the full intensity of solar radiation, This heat is re-radiated, so humans or objects on the surface would receive heat not only from the direct sunlight, but also reflected and re-radiated heat from the Moon's surface. I know you like to pretend you know what you are talking about, but try taking some Kodak film and exposing it to even very low radiation and see what happens.

  • @gxsrbaby And while we're at it, you also declined to meet my challenge (as EVERY hoax dufus also does) to name any hoax "evidence" thats never been refuted. Since in one posting session you stupidly admitted that you didnt know:

    1) A moon "day" is 4 weeks long

    2) point blank doesnt equal 93 million miles away

    I have no doubt any further 'evidence' from you would be equally embarrassing ;)

  • @gxsrbaby Hello McFly? A dental Xray is POINT BLANK. Wouldnt that make just a *little* bit of difference vs Xrays from 93 million miles away? Just maybe? ;)

    I could quote all the laws that say radiation loses strength the further it gets from the source, but I already know you're a newb in all of them.

    This is exactly the stupidity I was talking about. You cut and paste "XRAY thinking "Now I sound smart!" all the while a total idiot about 8th grade science.

    Sit down and shut up

  • @gxsrbaby I dont watch videos, I'm a SCIENCE Teacher. I've taught astronomy so I know ignorant BS when I hear it. I've never ran into a single hoax idiot who ever claimed to be more than a Mcjob. They make mistakes based on ignorance of science, obviously.

    And brother, you just made a HUUUGE dumbass mistake ;)

    "74 hours" Woo hoo. A "day" on the moon is FOUR WEEKS LONG. The astronauts could park at "dusk" for over 7-8 days and not get ANY increase in temp. Read a damn book. Jesus

  • @CryptWarrior69 Your absolutely right. When you go to get a dental x-ray they put a lead shield on you almost 2 inches thick to protect you from the radiation. But all the astronauts needed was a thin layer of tin foil to protect them from the solar flares and the heavy radiation. Yeah that makes sense, thank you.

  • @SpreadingtheMuse Okay, you obviously watch a bunch of biased video's. So let me try to explain something to you with the limited space I have on here. Apollo 17 mission stayed for 74 hours 59 minutes 40 seconds (over 3 days) on the Lunar surface. Which would mean at one point or another the temperature would be unbearable for the astronauts. It can get up to 260 Fahrenheit, which is above boiling tempertures. And the film and the astronauts survived? Yeah that makes sense.
