Shit, man, Buzz was dead right to punch that dude in the face. I mean, you can't just call someone a coward and a liar to his face without any substantial proof beyond conspiracy theories and expect not to get punched

Go Buzz
 
He should have beat Bart Sibrel (BS) senseless. You don't tell a man that walked on the lunar surface that most of his life has been a huge lie. We were all cheering on the Bad Astronomy Bulletin Board when it happened. It exists solely to fight conspiracy crap. - Colt


Edited to add link debunking BS.
 
"did you get that on camera?"

he says it as if it's a victory for him... love the "i'm gonna sue you now that i got footage"-americanism...
 
Nice punch by Buzz.

Seriously, the whole Moon landing = conspiracy would make a difficult argument. Especially as folks on earth could probably watch the guys on the moon through telescopes.

But it did make a rather crappy movie. OJ in space? I don't think so.
 
Way to go Buzz. Sadly though, they got it all wrong with their 'Moon rock' shit. Everybody knows the moon is made of cheese. What else would the man in the moon eat? Shit, I don't ever want to sleep in the same room as the man in the moon.

Russians watching the Americans land through their telescope. Blockbuster material! Hollywood, here I come!

I'll give you a spot in the credits, welsh

Is this the point where I hold my "Yuri Gagarin being the first man in space was more important than Armstrong landing on the moon" spiel?
 
No. This is the point where you say to yourself "Wait Kharn. Nobody else gives a shit. Go and make yourself and Dragonetti a bowl of soup."

But we planted a flag on the moon, hence we claim it as part of America of course :D . Gagarin didn't launch a flag into space, so no dibs, Kharn.
 
Sadly for you, the flag was blown over and into pieces when the lunar lander took off again. So, no dibs either Fireblade.
 
I'm not even sure now if amateurs can see the landers on the surface... Too much clutter and apparent movement. I'll check with some people more knowledgable about telescopes. - Colt
 
Google just added Google Moon, with satellite images of the moon, plus points (like google maps) where the apollos landed.

Ah, I wondered why there was a picture of the moon in the logo when I used it earlier.

Is there some reason, though, why setting foot upon the moon a few hundred years before we are able to do anything productive there is a good thing?

Also, Kharn, give your "man on an island swims to the next one" spiel. I always find that pretty entertaining.
