40 yrs ago Americans walked on the moon

[PRC1964]

The moon is said to be visible from the Great Wall of China.

I'll try and verify this when I pop out for a takeaway later tonight.

11) The Soviet deep-space tracking system clearly showed there was nothing in orbit around the moon at the time of any Apollo mission.

Oh, wait...

It's 40 years ago today you morons, so the post is relevant!

By far the best moon landing fake explanation site: winky linky.

Always worthy of a repost.

13) DimPrawn is a conspiracy theory cretin.

Conclusive proof that he is a council-house chav from Swindon.

12) You can see a Mcdonald in the distance

The American flag was spring-loaded in order to fly horizontal. Of course, on initially putting up the flag it would appear to wave.

[The Lone Gunman]

Do we have to do this again?

Surely the most telling evidence is the silence from the Russians. Unless the Ruskies didnt have the tech to track the mission of course.

11) No clips of the Clangers were ever broadcast.

I expect you thought those up all by yourself, not like we haven't heard it before. C4 did a reasonably good documentary on this a couple of years back, letting the conspiracists put their arguments across without laughing at them.

Scary thing was, it almost sounded plausible

Or did they.....?

1) When the astronauts are putting up the American flag it waves. There is no wind on the Moon.

2) No stars are visible in the pictures taken by the Apollo astronauts from the surface of the Moon.

3) No blast crater is visible in the pictures taken of the lunar landing module.

4) The landing module weighs 17 tons and yet sits on top of the sand making no impression. Next to it astronauts’ footprints can be seen in the sand.

5) The footprints in the fine lunar dust, with no moisture or atmosphere or strong gravity, are unexpectedly well preserved, as if made in wet sand.

6) When the landing module takes off from the Moon’s surface there is no visible flame from the rocket.

7) If you speed up the film of the astronauts walking on the Moon’s surface they look like they were filmed on Earth and slowed down.

8) The astronauts could not have survived the trip because of exposure to radiation from the Van Allen radiation belt.

9) The rocks brought back from the Moon are identical to rocks collected by scientific expeditions to Antarctica.

10) All six Moon landings happened during the Nixon administration. No other national leader has claimed to have landed astronauts on the Moon, despite 40 years of rapid technological development.
