Oh this is fantastic, a new comedy show that I can watch when my favorite Fox News runs out of steam. Way to go, Jesse. I will be laughing all the way.

I guess I'm kinda' "middle of the road" on these things. There are certain "conspiracy theories" that pop up that catch my interest...the moon landings and UFO cover-ups, to name a couple.

I don't necessarily buy into everything I hear on those two, but some interesting points have been raised over the years. Never hurts to dig in and do some thinking on some of these things...

I just post the facts that the ct's dont/wont tell you.
Theres something that just gets under my skin when people have to use tragedys like 9/11 to push their hatred of the USA by saying a missile hit the pentagon and radio controlled jets hit the towers.

Are you by chance a foiler too?

There's something that gets under my skin when organisms inflame that same hatred to destroy other nations and institute the permanent war. No one pushes hatred of Americans more than Israelis first and Americans second. The tragedy was insturmental, the tragedy was necessary, the tragedy was convienient, the tragedy paid out big time, the program was moved forward, lubricated by the victims of 9/11 who continue to die by the hundred thousands every day all over the world. Like the piper you will be rewarded by the truth in your tune. DB Debunker Buster.:p

Mythbusters did a show on the moon landings that pretty well explained how all the ct's claims were not valid including putting the flag in a vacuum chamber to explain why it did what it did. They were very thorough and covered all the points brought up.

I missed that one. How did the handle the Van Allen Belt (radiation) thing? That's one that puzzled me a bit.

Been awhile but heres some of the myths busted.
MythBusters Episode 104: NASA Moon Landing

The Apollo astronauts left behind special equipment on the Moon like reflectors that scientists can bounce lasers off of.
confirmed
The Mythbusters went to an observatory equipped with a high powered laser. They first fired at the bare lunar surface but did not detect the laser bouncing back. Then they pointed the laser at a reflector left behind by NASA and received a confirmed bounce.

I find all conspiracy theorys funny and the peeps that believe in them even funnier,anything for a buck and the rubes eat it up.

Hard to fathom that some take this crap seriously but most ct nutters dont ever leave their moms basement anyways so........I have a bit of experience dealing with the 9/11 nutters,just ask Toro if he's still on here.:cool:
Too bad the (locked) door wasn't ripped off it's hinges so some dust off those steel beams could be tested for all particles. Surely a test like that could only confirm your position on the matter.

You speak kinda cryptically, so I had to reread your post. At first I thought you were talking about the door to his locked mind.

Darn, can't watch the video (dial-up) but have looked up some stuff on the Internet.

Still can't quite get my head around that radiation problem...not saying it wasn't possible, but according to the what I know about radiation (not much, granted), I'm curious as to how they avoided being cooked with just a thin aluminum skin protecting them. They even give a person a big heavy vest to wear for a dental x-ray, but I suspect the radiation in space might be a tad more powerful (and last a bit longer too)...again, just wonderin'...

Any crater on the moon should have some rock-face that would reflect light back no matter where it was on the Earth.


The video pretty well explains that,the reflector is designed to reflect the beam straight back and as they knew where it was they shot the laser where there was no reflector and then on the reflector and measured the strength of the beam and the time it took to return,when they hit the reflector the beam comes back allmost as it went out,the difference between the 2 is there for you to see on the video,only a man made object would reflect back that strong a signal.

Watch the video,its not rocket science,same principle as laser extensiometers.
