I find this statement depressing. Without space exploration, human beings will die out. We can't survive on this planet forever. The sooner a worldwide entity starts exploring outside our solar system, the better. Too bad human beings are too petty and small minded to trust each other to that degree. We deserve to die out, and that's exactly what will happen. But it's still sad.
Take pleasure in the success of the Chinese. They are a wonderful people. And accept your karma.
I think you mean "accept our karma."
easy dreams at the end of a chain smoking day
There's also those pesky photos from the orbiter currently circling the moon. You know.. the photos that showed th various landing sites, and even showed astronaut footprint paths wandering around?
NASA - LRO Sees Apollo Landing Sites
aye, that and if they think Ringo was a really good drummer.
I have seen a few documentaries before, and I recently watched an episode of Fact or Faked on this. They concluded that parts of could have been faked on a sound stage, but they don't believe that it was and presented the evidence.
If it did, then America is overdo for an Oscar.
Let me get this straight once again...I was not calling it into doubt, simply noting that it is more plausible that such an event was faked compared to the moon landing. Partly this is due to the nature of the event. Only something bigger than the competition between the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. creates a sufficient motive for both sides to conceal the real events and it would be harder to do. On the other hand there would be plenty of motive for faking an event like the Holocaust and it would be relatively easy given the circumstances.
Let me get this straight once again...
It would be easier to fake a well documented and monumental event involving millions of people in the pre-modern-technology era... than it would be to fake an event involving perhaps thousands of people in a post-modern-technology era.
That would be akin to saying it would have been easier to doctor a video in 1969 than it is today in 2010.
Do you really believe in such a nonsensical and retrograde notion?

Something is very odd here. I have a Ph.D in physics and probing the universe is my vocation. I accomplish my cosmic exploring at the most high-tech physics facility in the United States. On the flip side, the Holocaust claimed most of my extended family. I have explored this huge personal loss in-depth. From perusing documents in Das Bundesarchiv to visiting the villages (Ukraine/Belarus/Russia) and speaking with the people who remembered the dark days and oftentimes... the murdered members of my family.The evidence for the Holocaust consists primarily of eyewitness accounts and documents. Both of those are much more easily manufactured than the various things that would need to be fabricated to fake a moon landing.
For me, there is one question that has never been answered satisfactorily: Radiation outside the Van Allen Belt is lethal and our spacecrafts were not made of lead. These men should not have come back alive, if what I understand about the nature of solar radiation outside the belt is correct.

Yet despite the above and for some inexplicable reason, you boldly claim that I am the individual in error here. Very odd indeed.
Unfortunately for you Demon, there is someone on this board who is very well versed in both of these fields. I can only suggest that you adjust your critical thinking cap and try it again. Your current approach would never pass muster in a university setting.
Utter hypocrisy on your part then. You certainly have no problem utilizing credentials when doing so suits your agenda.The only error I am accusing you of is the error of assuming a moon landing would be easier to fake. I really could not give a damn about your credentials.

Lol. Apparently, nothing less than a 2x4 will penetrate the miasma.When have I ever said anything about my credentials?
Indeed. We utilized the moon surface when calibrating a new CCD array for a refitted CTIO telescope on Mount Blanco in Chile. The landing artifacts remain pristine.Just to add to this, and put the concpiracy theory to rest, My father had been stationed at the Naval Observatory in Washington DC several years back, and during his time there, I had the privlige of glancing through one of the high powered telescopes. I have personally seen the landing site, and all the remaining materials left behind. I know my word means nothing as this is the internet, but none the less I will assure you the moon landing was not faked.
