By the way, with regards to the topic - I dont have an official view, not at this moment at least.

I dont think that Moon landing was as important as it was hyped to be. Soviets won the space contest anyway, in my opinion.


But I dont think its appropriate to label as retards those people who believe that moon landing was faked. Its a matter of opinion, not a scientific prognosis.

So landing a man on the moon isn't important? The Soviets won? By my recollection, they never landed a man on the moon.

I do. It's on par with holocaust denial. They are idiots of the highest order.

There is little science behind the faked Moon landing. Recently they have even shown satellite photos of the landing site on BBC News. The only dispute is the very-doctored looking photos and videos. Those are questionable, but to me the faked debate is not important right now.

Sooner or later it will make sense - if Americans won't be able to land humans on the Moon as viewed by the entire world with 21st century technology, we'd know. For now we should just sit and wait until the next nation successfully lands people on the Moon.

How can you put Holocaust denial and Moon Landing Faked together in the same basket? LOL ...

You are crazy. Might as well label those who think that Moon landing as faked as Hitler lovers and Holocaust deniers, too.

There's nothing important about stepping on the Moon - there's nothing there. Soviets were first to step into space. First to have craft land on another space body. First to have to woman in space. Longest time in space, longest and most successful space station by far, MIR (to the day the biggest influence to the current international station) - and most importantly, the Russian Soyuz technology is more effective and more successful than the shuttle technology (the latter will soon be put in garbage). Soyuz capsules have been sending men and women into space and back since 1960's, for a small fraction of the cost and greater safety.

The reason why Americans think they won the space race is because they needed a morale booster after already losing to the Soviets in space. So they made the public believe that landing on the Moon is considered as winning the space race - which hardly ended. There's absolutely nothing there, apart from a future tourist destination for a good view of Earth from space.

I am not defending the Soviets as I hated the regime, but I got to say that landing on the Moon is totally insignificant. Americans didnt even establish a base, didnt mine any minerals, didnt do anything other than jump around, collect a few pebbles, pay billions for the hole thing, and then leave until further notice. How retarded is that?

A win would be setting up something serious, like a space station, or landing people on another planet.

I don't believe any of those things happened. It's my opinion

If David Copperfield made a Statue of Liberty disappear, so can you.

Mythbusters dud the whole show on the "faked moon landing" myth. And if Jamie and Adam prooved that the the moonlanding was true, thats good enough for me.

Because denying reality makes you a fucking retard. Or insane. You choose.

You can if you want. All I said was denying the moon landings is ON PAR with holocaust denial. There is a difference.

Your opinion, of which few would agree with you.
