No matter how many facts are produced, nobody is ever going to convince him it is not as he thinks. His mind is made up and that is final, it is all lies unless is supports his beliefs.

We had to broadcast it to score a win, as the Russians mooncraft just blew up on the pad. Ultimately tho, I'm not saying it was a ploy, I'm just skeptical.

I've constantly said I go along with the idea that we did land on the moon, where do you read I state otherwise? I realize it's tough to modify your binary mind to that of gray, but pls try.

And they were lying to make us look bad AND make us look good? >We had to broadcast it to score a win, as the Russians mooncraft >just blew up on the pad. We had to lie to win because the Russians were cleary losing? You're not making much sense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had to lie to win because the Russians were cleary losing? You're not making much sense. The whole moon landing was a lie. In fact, it was so secret that NASA had to find a place where they could a) Film the scenes withe nobody around for miles and miles, b)nobody would ever visit again, at least not for a long, long time and, c)had lots of light. NASA could put a space craft in orbit, but nobody there knew how to change a lightbulb. With these constraints in mind there was only one place that would work...the surface of THE MOON! So they quietly went about their business and put two men up there to begin work on the film stage, but then realized (almost as an afterthought) that they didn't need to lie anymore because they had just landed on the moon. So, in reality, it was only the timing that was a lie. We actually landed there in 1967 and the landing was kept secret until July 1969. See, I got it all figured out. Ain't I smart.
