Here's Desertphile and a classic video. I always find him funny. Of course he's aged now and grew a pretty big beard.

Re: Conspiracy Theories (FLERF)
One giant ... lie? Why so many people still think the moon landings were faked
It all started with a man called Bill Kaysing and his pamphlet about ‘America’s $30bn swindle’ ...

It took 400,000 Nasa employees and contractors to put Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon in 1969 – but only one man to spread the idea that it was all a hoax. His name was Bill Kaysing.
It began as “a hunch, an intuition”, before turning into “a true conviction” – that the US lacked the technical prowess to make it to the moon (or, at least, to the moon and back). Kaysing had actually contributed to the US space programme, albeit tenuously: between 1956 and 1963, he was an employee of Rocketdyne, a company that helped to design the Saturn V rocket engines. In 1976, he self-published a pamphlet called We Never Went to the Moon: America’s Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle, which sought evidence for his conviction by means of grainy photocopies and ludicrous theories. Yet somehow he established a few perennials that are kept alive to this day in Hollywood movies and Fox News documentaries, Reddit forums and YouTube channels.
Despite the extraordinary volume of evidence (including 382kg of moon rock collected across six missions; corroboration from Russia, Japan and China; and images from the Nasa Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter showing the tracks made by the astronauts in the moondust), belief in the moon-hoax conspiracy has blossomed since 1969. Among 9/11 truthers, anti-vaxxers, chemtrailers, flat-Earthers, Holocaust deniers and Sandy Hook conspiracists, the idea that the moon landings were faked isn’t even a source of anger any more – it is just a given fact...

Re: Conspiracy Theories (FLERF)
there is a lot of weight behind this though, not so much that Space doesnt exist, but humans in space is all fake, the amount of nasa footage that is obviously fake/staged/greenscreened/photoshopped etc etc is actually shocking
theres numerous video footage of nasa officials stating humans have never left low earth orbit, and theres also the apparent current impossibility of not being able to go through the 2 van allen radiation belts etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Allen_radiation_belt

What on earth are you talking about? NASA publishes high resolution pictures almost every day. Do you think they employ a large CGI team to do so?Jamie_Lambo wrote: ↑Wed Jul 10, 2019 7:29 pm the amount of nasa footage that is obviously fake/staged/greenscreened/photoshopped etc etc is actually shocking

Re: Conspiracy Theories (FLERF)
You realise it was NASA who discovered the van Allen belts through its Explorer 1 mission and that pretty much all the research you use to say NASA is lying origins from NASA itself, right?

Re: Conspiracy Theories (FLERF)
We all know that everything politicians tell us is true. Dont we?
There has been a documentary shown on Australian television put out by a French company. They interviewed some of the people directly involved at the time, such as Henry Kissenger and Madeline Albright. There are more, but I forget their names. They openly admitted that the Apollo 11 moon landing was not filmed on the moon, and a whole lot more.
At one stage someone talked about saying to President Nixon, 'you cant lie to the people.' He said, 'do it anyway.'
It is called: The dark side of the moon. I have searched the internet for it in the past, and not been able to find it. I think Americans would do all they can to ensure it is not on the internet.
If anyone does find it, post a link.

To distract from the fact that people in power are lying to us, they put out some ridiculous ideas. Intelligent people dont believe them. Some people then think, all of these conspiracies are not true.
