| Look, if anyone really thinks this idiotic "flat earth" -style thread is worth retaining I'll let it run - but my inclination is to remove it. I don't believe it was created in good faith. Speaking as someone who spent a fair bit of time digging up links to sources debunking various consp... |

| Oh yeah, so Neil DeGasbag Tyson, the man who can talk for 14 minutes and say absolutely nothing and is the Establishment's ultimate mascot, said it happen, so that's also proof-positive right there. No, the mere fact that he "said it happen" is not in and of itself "proof-positive&qu... |

| Why they have to spend Trillions of dollars just to have the show of women and minorities off the rocket for something they ostensibly already achieved decades ago, just seems like the biggest squandering of money to me for these woke goals, Replicating what was done decades ago is only the first s... |

| The deployment of reflectors isn't a good argument to use against Moon Landing deniers; the soviets did the same with unmanned moon landings. Depends what kind of Moon landing denier, I guess. Some deny only that the crewed missions got there, while others deny all Moon landings by any human-create... |

| 1. Fact that they haven't gone more than a few hundred miles above the earth`s surface ever, apart from the moon landings where of course where they supposedly went 250,000 miles Wrong. Read up on the preceding missions of the Apollo program, especially Apollo 8, 9, and 10. See Wikipedia's List of ... |

| I would say though stuff like the Moon Landing I never seriously started to question until I saw just what a joke everything to do with Covid and the Vaccine was and just how fully and completely this was orchestrated. So for you it started with COVID conspiracy theories, which have never seemed cr... |

| Is this babble the work of some crazy chat bot? Maybe, but quite possibly not, alas. For many decades, there has been a thriving subculture of "conspiracy theorists" who believe in all sorts of wacky conspiracies. As far as I can tell, that subculture has grown steadily during the past fe... |

| I think honestly the bigger question though is why someone like me who used to NEVER question something like the Moon Landing back in a year like 2004 or 2005 or so and never even thought about this, now nearly-instinctively doubts and questions everything about Western "science".... I've... |

| ^ Right, I don't mean literally "without a hitch," you know what I mean.... I actually think based on this and the Soviet attempts, this was far too invariably fatal to keep actually attempting with manned rockets. But it WASN'T "invariably fatal." Necessary safety lessons were ... |

| In the 4th article though, the "proof" is that no one can question the Moon Landing, because then it's related to Anti-Covid, Anti-Vax, Donald Trump, and the slippery slope of this.... Is this like the modern Catholic Church and Spanish Inquisition ? Indeed, as I wrote in a subsequent edi... |

| I saw one thing where Buzz Aldrin was once confronted in public by someone who had said he didn't land on the moon and he got absurdly defensive, which was an odd reaction for someone who supposedly should have been as comfortable having done what he did. If you're secure in your achievement, it's ... |

| Some people are really looking hard for something to whine about. Ice is cooling off the volcanoes and keeping them from erupting? Yeah, sure. That's LOTS and LOTS of ice, not just "cooling off" the volcanoes but also, and more importantly, weighing them down. We don't yet know how much t... |
