I used to think the strongest rebuttal of the hoax theory was the impossibility of that many people keeping a secret forever.  But then information about Ultra was finally declassified.

I thought Buzz Aldrin punching a guy was a pretty strong rebuttal.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I never considered such an argument to be that strong.  It's not enough to blow the whistle, you also have to retain your credibility.  For all we know, there are some conspiracy theorists out there who are really discredited whistle-blowers.

Orders of magnitude difference in the numbers of people and level of screening makes the comparison inapt.

It was cool, but it would have been so much cooler if Aldrin had literally kicked him when he was down.

Lots of people were aware of Ultra, but very few actually knew where it was coming from.

Which could be the same with the Moon missions.

That doesn't make any sense.  Still, Ultra was a real thing.

The relative sizes of, and distance between, Earth and Moon, to scale, with a beam of light traveling between them at the speed of light.
Scale model of the Earth and the Moon, with a beam of light traveling between them at the speed of light. It takes approximately 1.26 seconds.

I love Space.

Ok, I just read the whole wiki article.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_landing_conspiracy_theories

I'm back in the fold, following the herd once again. The landings were real.

Until next year then, when I forget all the arguments in favor of the landings.

Sorry but I have PTSD and I forget a lot of shit. So you guys gonna have to put up with all this shit again next year.
Blame it on Islam.

Islam screws up all the best moon landings.
