If I can't flame anyone who thinks the moon landing was a hoax, I'm out.

But is anyone brings any 9/11 conspriacy bullsh#t to this board, they are gonna get more than they bargained for.....seriously.

Nasa just recently released HD photos taken by a new Moon orbitor that shows the landing sites. There's something there.

I do not believe it was a hoax.

You youngin's who weren't alive then seem to forget that the country was mired in Vietnam, we were in the middle of the Cold War with Russia and the economy was not solid.

NASA had a certain number of rockets to use. Nixon cut funding so the last of the rockets were used for Skylab and the Apollo/Soyuz mission.

I can appreciate the thinking that it was a hoax, but even as evil as our government can be, I doubt this could be kept a secret.

As for 9/11, it was the Garden Gnomes...they are out to get us.

FIRE DOESN'T MELT STEEL! < /Rosie O'Donnell >

(Never mind that fire doesn't have to melt steel for a structure to fail...it just has to get it to the plastic state, which is only about 900 degrees F!)

Too bad they just didn't hijack Rosie instead.

They couldn't find a big enough plane.

I just read in Scientific American yesterday that it costs $10,000 per pound to send stuff into space. So let's see....300 (I'm being generous) x 10,000...carry the three....round to the significant figures.....

$3,000,000

We can take donations and we could pry do this.

There is a dark side of the moon. I listened to it.

I agree.

As far as living on the moon..not at all viable. Who the hell wants to live there? An overcrowded Earth is way more tantilizing than that. Overcrowding will handle itself. Much like over-abundances of mice or locust when the food is in surplus. When we can no longer feed everyone, we stop growing. Also, war, famine, disease, and natural disasters will thin the herd. The strongest go on to repopulate. We are Earthlings, designed and adapted to live here and only here. The Moon or Mars will never work.

While I agree with the population control methods you stated, I have to disagree with the possibility of living places other than Earth. The space station has shown humans can survive away from Earth. Getting the supplies to another location and setting up living quarters large enough to support a decent size population would be astronomically expensive (pun intended).

And as happens frequently, I agree with Tom.

My favorite conspiracy is the Denver Airport. As for the moon I have no reason to doubt we went there; I do find it interesting how often anomalies show up in NASA footage.

There's a link somewhere of (I think) Neil Armstrong socking a guy in the mouth for implying that he's a liar. Pretty funny.

Edit: It was Buzz Aldrin.
