Kinda curious how this is viewed in "your" country, and even more curious if there is anyone on Languish besides Siege who thinks the landing(s) were faked.

Maybe you should start a poll.

Anti-Americanism and believing that the moon landings are a hoax track fairly closely, I would imagine.


That's why I never talk about it outside Languish. The enemy does not need more ammo to use against us.

The liberals would never understand that it was the right thing to do at the moment. The USSR was a real and present danger.

I'm asking my buddy's Brit/Indian/Muslim in-laws about this the next time they're in.  Dang, I can't wait :D

The moon itself didn't exist before 1921.

Maybe somebody opened up the galaxy editor and add it up.

Polls on Languish are for amusement, not information.  I highly suspect that I am not the only one who responds to them based on my hopes for the effect of the response.

Only 51% of Russians believe that the US landed men on the moon (http://bd.fom.ru/report/cat/sci_sci/kosmos/of001605)

Quite frankly, I thought that number would be much, much lower for our cossack friends.


On the contrary. If the landings were faked, then the KBG was owned, badly, by the CIA.

That's low and against all our Languish Values.

It wouldn't have had anything to do with the CIA and KGB.

Of course it did. It was the Cold War, remember? Teh End Of The Wold, Nukelear Winter, I-see-BMs, etc?

Yes, I do remember, and not everything was like in the Clancy novels.  KGB and CIA were not involved in the moon landings.  There were separate space agencies that did that sort of thing.

Antiamericanism? Naaaahhh... I would rather expect to find a correlation between believing in the 'Moon Hoax', not believing in Evolution, and believing in angels and demons, the Rapture and such crap. In other words, it's impossible to go to the Moon because the rocket would crash against Heaven and Saint Peter would get royally pissed!

I would like to say that in Spain no one believes in the hoax, but that would be going too far. After all my friends usually have some formal education, and it's not as if I routinely discussed the Apollo program and the development of Saturn V rockets with taxi drivers, plumbers, farmers and church goers...

Since you can see the the Moon Landers with a decent telescope from earth I can't really understand how this hoax persists.
I thought it was very difficult but you can see the shadows sometimes at the right time of day?  ... orbiters and other solar system voyagers can do flybys and take shots though.
Sigh.  If you believe that those 'voyagers' actually did anything beyond look pretty in mockups you are probably also the same kind of sad sack that believes AIDS wasn't developed by the CIA.

the CIA is not that good.

AIDS came by eating monkey meat. semi-cannibalism. and it spread through bad sex.
we can blame the full moon or bad cheese.
humans were created in their own image
