Comment on Apollo Moon Landing Hoax by LunarOrbit.

“Never thought much about fake moon landing until Edwin Aldrin sucker punched an American citizen in an unprovoked attack then received a pat on the back from corrupt American legal system.”

You obviously don’t know the full story. Let me educate you.

The “American citizen” you speak of is Bart Sibrel, the man responsible for the deceptive documentary “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon”.

Bart Sibrel has a long documented history of stalking and harassing the Apollo astronauts. He even released a DVD showing his encounters with the astronauts. He pounces on them at grocery stores, knocks on the hotel room doors at all hours, and trespasses on their private property. His behaviour is criminal.

In the case you are referring to, he lured Buzz Aldrin to a hotel by posing as a TV interviewer. Once it was revealed that the interview was really just a deception Aldrin tried to leave, but Bart Sibrel blocked his path, poked him repeatedly with a bible, and verbally harassed him for 10-15 minutes.

If you trap someone and constantly provoke them eventually they are going to become angry and strike back. The court dropped the assault charges against Aldrin because they considered it a provoked attack.

“Many citizens/astro-nots who did blow whistle or attempt to do so are in final resting places (http://hubpages.com/hub/NASA-Mirder-On-Pad-34).”

Now, I’m not a murderer, so I could be wrong… but it doesn’t seem to make sense to me to kill three astronauts in such a way that it attracts the attention of the news media, the public, and the US Congress who controls your budget.

The Apollo program was almost cancelled because of the Apollo 1 fire, and that would have been counter productive to NASAs goals and a huge hit to their cash flow. Right?

“Reason for hoax? Suppose president proclaimed that USA WOULD land on moon when though technology was not available at that time (as now) to do so? Delay at first.”

And what evidence is there that any of this is true? What is the obstacle that makes going to the Moon impossible?

“Then thoughts of unaccounted billions of taxpayer dollars for project magically overcome technology problem.”

Every dollar spent by NASA was accounted for. There is nothing magical about the technology, it’s all very well understood by anyone with a related education.

“Many hoaxes can be and have been staged for a lot less money!”

I completely disagree in this case. A faked Moon program would have been more expensive than the real thing.

First of all, you still have to make the rockets and spacecraft. People watched the rockets launch, people saw video of astronauts floating weightless in space and doing spacewalks. We know the technology was real, and that the technology had to be paid for.

Second, you have to bribe a lot of people to go along with the hoax… forever. You can’t just fake the Moon landings and then forget about it, you have to maintain the hoax for the rest of time or someone will discover it. So that means bribery would have to be an ongoing expense, whereas the real Apollo program was done and paid for decades ago.

“Know what really bothers me? Rest of world already knows NASA and astro-nots like old sucker punch presented a piece of wood to the Dutch people as a genuine moon rock (http://hubpages.com/hub/NASA-Moon-Hoax-Exposed-With-Commentary).”

There is a long discussion about this in my forum:

http://bit.ly/fij64b

The petrified wood was presented to the former Dutch Prime Minister at an event attended by the Apollo 11 astronauts, but it was not the astronauts who gave it to him. It was presented by the US ambassador at the time.

It was also never claimed to be a Moon rock. NASA had not even begun sharing it’s rocks at that time… it wasn’t until sometime in the mid-1970s after all of the Apollo landings were completed that NASA began loaning out Moon rocks or gifting them to other countries.

So no, it’s not a Moon rock, and it never was claimed to be. Maybe someone misunderstood what it was, but there was no deception on NASAs part.

“Why has NASA never been brought to task for this national disgrace?”

Because the only people who consider it a national disgrace are people like you who don’t know the whole story.

You can reflect a laser off the moon’s surface.
No reflector required.

True, but a lot more of the laser’s light is reflected when a reflector is used. The reflectors reflect all light back in the direction it came from. Light reflected …
