For years, Bad Astronomy webmaster Phil Plait has dodged the following questions.

1. How can you allege that the idea that NASA and the government would murder their own astronauts is "a particularly loathsome accusation", when in fact the CIA's General William H. Craig came up with Operation Dirty Trick: a proposal to blame John Glenn's possible death aboard Friendship 7 on the Cubans and use his death to justify all out war?

2. How can you frequently allege that Bill Kaysing said "any kind of space travel is impossible", when in the exact same interview that you refer to Kaysing explicitly says "I will concede that certain unmanned vehicles might have made it to the moon. The Russians are supposed to have sent some unmanned vehicles to the moon. And possibly our Surveyor did land on the moon."?

3. How can you allege that there were no major solar flares during the Apollo missions when NOAA's Comprehensive Flare Index for Major Flares explicitly logs 30 major x-ray solar flares during the time eight of those missions were supposedly in cislunar space?

In today's episode, I meet Phil Plait (and Adam Savage) face to face at TAM8. This was indeed an Amazing Meeting to remember!

  • This drek is an insult to the men and women that died in the pursuit of space exploration. Oh wait let me guess, that was all staged to right? those huge chunks of Challenger pulled of the ocean floor were planted there by navy seals or something.

  • @Erik0072 What gave you the warped idea that I think Challenger didn't really blow up?

  • in the past 40 some years no conspirator has ever gone to the observatory and try out those retro reflectors i have heard so many different versions of this conspiracies i do not know which version is more how you say? idiotic?

    i give up on this and do what we should all do.

    ignore the moon hoax conspirators let them have their run and continue on with life. and in some other years, they will again take another 40s years to scream fake on the next moon landing.

  • @Forman6 "in the past 40 some years no conspirator has ever gone to the observatory and try out those retro reflectors"

    False, David Percy & Mary Bennett both contacted the McDonald Observatory, which uses such a laser. And the retro-reflectors prove nothing - the Russians got two reflectors up there using unmanned missions.

  • There is one piece of evidence that confirms that we in fact DID go to the moon. There is a mirror on the moon (placed there by Apollo 11 astronauts) that is used to reflect laser beams (sent from earth) for the purpose of gathering data regarding the moon (we have learned that the moon is slowly moving away from the earth for example). How these silly conspiracy theories continue to exist is really beyond me...

  • @pillsareyummy

    The retroreflector is discussed in Part 3 of this series.

  • Do you really think that Russia wasn't following every single moon landing - of which there were *six* - hoping that they were indeed faked? We would have heard from them loud and clear if so - oh, unless the conspiracy went deeper than anyone could have imagined, right?

    You're a fucking nutbar, Jarrah, and that's why real scientists have better things to do than give you the time of day!

  • Firstly...he knew what you meant by moon "stuff". And he saw you as a shit stirrer, which you are.. Secondly, he's not a conspiracy theory expert...thirdly...Phil is about seeking the truth and answers, and if he could trust the evidence supporting your claim, he would gladly support you.....you seem to only have a belief in the moon landing hoax, but belief is faith, pretty much what religion is based on....

  • It's a conspiracy to prevent people from bothering speakers with nonsense.

  • @canadamonster

    hmmmmm that's because THERE SHOULDN'T BE ONE

  • you are a genius, a hero. Keep up this great work you're doing @WhiteJarrah

  • lol phil is a turd

  • hmmmm no blast crater

  • I love the fact that a Man who won't talk on his lunch will not talk to a random moon hoax believer somehow makes him a bad guy? Schedule a press interview ahead of time and let him own you

  • @WhiteJarrah LOL. You guys! All of your identities are so tied to the absurdity of your "anti-mainstream" wacky beliefs that your egos can't handle even a molecule of reality and the truth ever sinking in. You're all exactly the same person-- arrogant with an over-inflated sense of your own intelligence, lacking any real science education (wikipedia/youtube is not an education, sorry), and completely without the ability to think rationally. Again; LOL!!!
