Buzz Aldrin knocks out a reporter
Dartful Dodger:
It's funny how defensive people get over this.
A friend of mine is a few years older than I. When I brought up that I saw a show that pointed out all the inconsistencies involved in the moon landing he became enraged. He remembers when Buzz supposedly landed on the moon. His dad bought their first television just to watch it.

Heh, I remember watched that show on Fox back in college, it was a few years after their alien autopsy special. I also remember my friends and I figuring out why each of their claims were wrong. Good times :)
One thing one of my friends kept pointing out everytime they showed some of the footage of the moonwalk is that the dust moves in a slow and perfect parabolic arc when they kick it up, which can only be explained by there being no atmosphere and low gravity.
Malenko:
at least they are consistent, all the faked images from space of the world n stuff always look pretty much exactly the same. Im still amazed they can fake pictures of cloud movement on the news right before it rains; its almost like they actually sent stuff into space. One day I might believe but theres no proof right now!
Ed_McCarron:
I always laugh at those "we didn't land on the moon" folks.
They placed a retroreflecting mirror when they were there. Scientists have bounced lasers off it to measure the earth-moon distance fairly accurately.
Unless moon rock is reflective, or the mirror is a conspiracy too... :laugh:
RayB:
The conspiracy theorists all point to the dumbest so-called "inconsistencies" and completely ignore the fact that there is a TON of photos (don't know what the hell you're talking about Jim, NASA has been scanning in their archives and putting a crap-load of photos online).
(This isn't the archive) http://www.nasm.si.edu/collections/imagery/apollo/AS01/a01.htm
A quick scan through the Apollo mission web pages shows they did a heck of a lot of test flights and really baby-stepped their way through to finally landing (2 flights were just orbits without even attempting a landing, with a third testing getting low in orbit, and finally a FOURTH trip was the famous one we all know. It's not like they built 1 rocket and against all odds made, landed and came back).
Many of the photos are just too "real" to have been invented. Consider how crappy movie effects were in those days. What I find really stupid is the same believers in no landing are the same types who will then be complete believers of far-out nonsense like alien visitors, etc.
