| The 'fake moon landing' has to be the weakest conspiracy theory ever. Most of the claims from the conspiracy theorists are easily explained by film exposure or simple laws of optics (like the reflection of objects on the curved surface of helmets producing unlike images of the same object).
And to say something couldn't have possibly happened because it represents such an insurmountable accomplishment is ludicrous! ... It's like saying the Great Pyramid was never constructed because it is such an unbelievable feat to accomplish that it just couldn't have been done (just ignore the fact that you can actually go see and touch it)! History is littered with unimaginable human achievments.
Besides, not one legitimate scientist (who actually makes their living studying space) can support the ridiculous theory. There are far more legit scientists who argue against global warming than there are to refute the legitimacy of the moon landing.
It is offensive to those people who have devoted their lives (and some who have given it) in pursuit of an accomplishment that some whack-jobs want to deny them. To suggest that the hundreds of people who devoted themselves to the Apollo mission either did so in vain or were actively involved in a conspiracy should outrage the families of those people. I'm not one of them, so I am not offended at anyone's opinion ... even if it is utterly foolish. |
