Uh, it all happned. If you want to pretend it didn't please feel free to play that game. Enjoy yourself. Have a good time. But it happened.

What happened? Lunar landing? Of course.

clms_chess

No problem Byron. Im one of those weird patriotic Americans (God forbid) who considers the lunar landings...all 6 of them....were an amazing accomplishments.

I think Byron we are near the same age...i was 6 years old when Armstrong landed and walked on the moon July 1969. The vast majority of those who doubt the Apollo lunar landingsss....are under 30. And almost everyone are shocked when I say we landed 6x....not once. I have yet to meet ONE doubter who could explain how all those hundreds of footprints and lunar lander and lunar rovers got up there...lol. NOT ONE.

Well one guy tried lol. He said we went back....later...to put that stuff up there including the footsteps...to cover our butts. Lol

clms_chess

Ok kaynight....heres your doubting chance...

How did all those foot prints, lunar rover (and lunar rover tire tracks) and lunar landerS get up there???

Prediction: NO ANSWER

What for go to the moon when there is much things to do here? There are more important things than exploring space. The money used for that flight could save so many lives.

IlMave

 Not that it would be used for that of course...

clms_chess

Again Kaynight... amature and professional astronomers from many nations have stared at those Apollo lunar stuff

on the moon.....

Your answer is a non answer.

Byron, I can live without an automatic window-closer, so that some people can live longer.

The spaceprogramm has its benfits too, but there are things simply much, much more important than the space programm.

You say tried and with such talking you undermine your own objectivity when it comes to serious talking about moon landings. It's about evidences and accepting / not accepting arguments. According to your statement you would never accept any contrary opinion. Honest and objective discussions would mean considering the points the other person is trying to tell you. Then checking things would clarify who's point of view is rather likely.

The statements that you've been 6 when Armstrong landed is nothing worth. With six kids are just starting out to understand the world, starting to put things as they are. Most kids with 18 are still immature not able to understand the happening things around them correctly. But you could with six, yep! wink.png

CookedQueen....I think you misunderstood..lol. Not 6 kids. I was 6 years old.... When Armstrong stepped on the moon.

This whole forum has devolved from the topic sentence defining it, into meaningless bickering about obvious facts. I studied astronomy & physics ....

the point are not existing facts. Also it actually doesn't matter whether one takes one or the other position. There are more than enough arguments pro lunar landing and countless bs-arguments on the conspiracy-side. But independent of this it's ridiculous to read some pseudo-arguments proving nothing but the lack of delivering the obvious facts. And another not unimportant point is that topics like this as well as the weird flat-earth-threads are full of morons who believe nothing but try to troll all the people who want to disprove the flat-earth-idea. So in the end it's never about facts and impossible to convince those people that the earth is not flat or about the lunar landing.

Ohhh nooooooooo my friend. I would never not unmisunderstand you. Never my friend. This all can be as clear as mud no later than the second Tuesday of next week... I mean...thats what the clean shav'n man with a full beard said... right? :D

And you're so wrong.... you CAN convince people about the validity of the lunar landings... just not everyone. You just have to have... patience. :)

IlMave

To convince someone that they are wrong can be super hard or super easy. That's up to the person. There is that group of people though, whose pride won't let them accept the facts no matter how obvious they are.
