Get Your Bullshit Out Of Here: The Moon Landing

Standard

In the four decades since Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, and in the time that he has people have have plenty of time to make up ridiculous theories about it. But my favorite out of all of them is that it was faked.

People who believe in  this theory say that the moon landing was faked and either staged high up in the hollywood hills or deep in Area 51. it is thought that the U.S. government staged the whole thing because at the time we were in a “space race” with russia and, being american, felt the need to win. They say that their eveidence is that in the photos the American flag appears to be waving in the wind. NASA has clearly stated serveral times that it looks this way becasue Aldril was trying to twist the flag to stick into the soil of the moon. These conspiracy theorist believe that the four people killed while testing the equipment for the moon landing  were excecuted by the Government.

In a poll taken in 1999 it was dicovered that 6% of americans believe in the moon landing and 5% dont.

In my opinion this theory is completely ridiculous and also, like many other conspiracy theories insanely disrespectful.

  1. I would be so much happier if you spent just a wee bit more time on these, Mz Gravey. The moon landing fake de-bunked is a good example. There are 40 years of silly accusations and refutations available, thousands of sites available. You could go quite a bit deeper into the accusations, and then point by point refutations.

    Read your first sentence. Does it make sense? Not to me. And then add up the percentages of people in your non-referenced poll. Do they add up to 100%? Nope? I didn’t think so.

    Here is the basic lesson: The internet is filled with silly inaccuracies. You are trying to de-bunk them. This means you have to be hyper-accurate, hyper-researched, hyper-professional. You’ve got to step the game up above the wack jobs, or you are just contributor to the essential problem.
