That we had the largest surplus in US history, and now the largest deficit in US History?


That we haven't been to the moon in over 25 years?


That our computers are still "wired".


That our cars still depend on natural resources to move around?


That the very thing that gives us air to breathe is an obstruction to many of us.

WE NEVER BEEN TO THE MOON. WE DON'T AND NEVER WILL HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO REACH THE SECOND RADIATION BELT.

We've been to the moon, I don't care what anyone says.

It's a damn shame that most of us cannot comprehend the mathematics capable of getting to and from the moon.

That's what my professor told me when I was in school, and that man was a damn genius!!!!!!

Hey Derrick, there's a video/DVD called "A funny thing happened on the way to the moon" that presents some arguments as to why the moon landing never occurred. Suggesting everything from staged moon landing exercises, to Buzz Aldrin's refusal to give detailed interviews beyond the first. The DVD talked about light and shadow inaccuracies, why only a few pictures were taken, why these same images continue to be passed around over and over again ...
It's a little on the conspiracy theorist bend, (dire sounding English voice over) but it's interesting. Perhaps there are better videos documenting this. I just happened to catch this one at a friends.

Buzz Aldrin's site just for the hell of it:

Peace Yeah they touch on this in the video too as well as well as why wasn't a blackened out hole from where the shuttle landed. It touched on atmospheric conditons that didn't fit what is known of the moon.

Google search results on the moon landing conspiracy.

When you read about the trig, calculus, physics, chemistry, and other branches of science involved, you'd be ver surprised.

The movie "Apollo 13" touched a little on the subject of mathematics. The scene where you see Tom Hanks running all of these mathematical equations out of his head as if he was saying his ABCs. I asked my professor about that scene, and he told me that there was a time when you were drilled to death on mathematical equations such as the ones used to get out into space.

Then there's the issue of money.

funny how all these shameful things are somehow tied up in money...

the most dispicable being AIDS... drug companies know they can make more money if they have people "living with AIDS" for their entire lives, vs. curing them of AIDS. there is no financial inscentive to cure AIDS.

http://www.buzzaldrin.com/ 6 23, I have seen this film, and whether or not it is 100% true or otherwise, the arguments presented are really something to think about.

the wires in the flag is NASA's official explanation for why the flag is as it is.

08-27-2003, 03:19 PM
interesting, so in order to get the shot they did pull the flag into position, in order to configure the wires, i'll buy that. i think my point still stands that just as on earth the flag will drop, except that on earth it falls immediately, and on the moon, the rate of descent, if you will, would be much much slower since the force of gravity is at such a lower rate. slow enough, in fact, for a photo

The gravity of the moon is far much less than the gravity here on earth. This is the reason why the flag "stood up" on the moon. This is also why the NASA developed the "Moon Hop" method of walking on the moon. The Gravity is not so great that you will be able to jump up in the air for a period of time and eventually the moons gravity will pull you back to the surface.

MHD brought up a good point about inertia, Newton's firtst law of Gravity. If this was done on earth, they would have to film everything upside down in order for the camera to create an optical illusion of any object, flag included, to look as if it's standing straight up, or an object that will fly off into the sky.

Name any machine capable of creating this illusion of hopping in space while still on earth. Camera tricks can only go so far. Jumping around in an 80 pound suit is rather tuff. These guys did not have bodies like Arnold's.

Minimum wage has jumped a whole $3.90 in 40 years.
If we are (so-called) making more money now than we did then...somebody need to explain the math they are using to make that statement true.

according to conspiracy theorists the footage of man landing on the moon is one of the most expensive "MOVIES" ever made. supposedly shot on location in the desert at Grooms Lake a.k.a. Area 51.(you know, the military base in Nevada that is not on the map and supposedly does not exist but everyone knows it is really there).

the American Government were so determined to out do the Soviets when it came space exploration that they were willing to do ANYTHING to be the first to land a man on the moon, including faking out the whole world to do so.

Moon Landing = a big fvcking hoax IMO.
or at least the footage we all know of
is not the reall footage.

according to other conspiracy theorists (the ones that think man landed on the moon). the americans were shocked at what they found on the side of the moon that is not immediately visible (the dark side of the moon. they found that there were beings and ships already there. there is supposedly conversations recorded between the astronauts describing what they saw in full detail.

Don't get me wrong, the government has done alot of shady things throughout our history as a nation but you cannot deny how far we've come when it comes to technology.

And that thing they found on the far side of the moon or where ever it was was actually a Russian space craft that was secretly sent to the moon in an attempt to get the first cosmonaut up there before the americans.

there is no way a human could survive the radiation in space nowadays even with those bullshit ass astronaut suits. how the hell could they have had the technology to make a suit so light weight and maneuvarable back then. come on now, when we get x-ray's the doctor lays a thin sheet of lead over your body part to try and prevent radiation. youd need like a few thousand tons of lead to block the radiation from space. people get skin cancer and sun poisoning here on EARTH from being exposed to the sun. imagine what would happen to us if we were in outer space.

You post shows that you have NO CLUE about Gravity.


You can wear a 300 pound suit and do a space walk with ease because there's no "GRAVITY". The only thing keeping astronauts from either flying into outer space or fall back into the earth are two things.

Rockets that enable the astronaut to maneuver around in space, or a tether cord that astronauts use so they can stay attached to the space craft.

As far as radiation goes how did the astronauts fix the lenses on the Hubble Telescope? Is this a conspiracy too? They have on record some of the longest space walks ever attempted while working on the Hubble Telescope.


And another thing, if you really want to talk about radiation then why did the MIR space station, in the condition that it was in prior to it being decomissioned, stay in space for so long?
