Conspiracy theorists are on a level of idiocy with creationists.

For once Neil and me are in 100% agreement.

There's lots of stuff I don't GET per se, but why some people persist in saying man never landed on the moon really is beyond my level of comprehension.

That's like saying Holocaust never happened, IMO.

A hoax, of course. Michael Jackson learned the moon walk, probably he can be seen as a kid in the background of the set used to film the moon landings.   :P

But really, a hoax? Believed by so many? How many thousands of people would be needed to keep quiet to pull of such a hoax? Hundreds or more of NASA scientists, workers, government officials, the astronauts, workers and technicians who set up the hoax, and more. Just not doable, nor worth the possible failure to fake it. Probably be easier to just go to the moon. And anyway, it's not like it's so hard, so beyond technology, to land on the moon!

Per an NPR story yesterday, almost 400,000 people worked at some point on some aspect of the Apollo program.

The moon itself didn't exist before 1921.

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

That would be my first guess. 
PDH!

QuoteNASA space Scientists confirmed that, their research revealed that the moon was splittered into two.

In what sense is the moon splittered into two?  :huh:

Yep. So how come so very many people are so amazingly dumb over this? I could understand a small percentage of people, the clinically cynical or such, but not such large numbers. Maybe the dumbing down of society is more widespread than it's feared to be.   :unsure:

Not sure that you can truly say that society's been dumbed down.  A lot of it never smarted up in the first place.

Yeah, you should be arguing rethorics with, you know, humans.
Because arguing really is your big fat strength, Jewboy Slim

This picture is a picture of the Apollo 15 rover, not the "2008 Japanese lunar probe" (and if this was meant to be Selene, that was 2007, not 2008.  I don't think the Japanese had a 2008 mission).
