Was the apollo moon landing fake? (someone else asking with their proof)

[Harvey]

This has to be one of the stupidest pieces of urban dogsh8 questions ever foisted on humanity. I won't dignify it as a "legend."

Second thought, come to think of it, it's just slightly more credible than any religion.

I'll give you doubters some things to ponder:
The majority of the energy required for space flight is overcoming gravity and air friction. After you escape the atmosphere, the energy required to maintain flight drops off rapidly.
The space shuttle is capable of reaching high Earth orbit.
The difference in energy required to travel to the moon and back from high Earth orbit is almost nil when compared to the energy required to reach orbit in the first place.
The space shuttle, when compared to the earlier space vehicles is a flying brick. A very heavy flying brick.
Earlier rockets actually had more fuel capacity than the space shuttle.

Basically, early rockets = '67 427 Vette. Shuttle = GMC 3500. If the shuttle can almost escape Earth's orbit...

Way to dig up stupid hulabaloo that's permeated the IntarWeb deeply enough through your AOL-chatroom idiocy to get itself onto StraightDope and Snopes.

You suck at the internet. Log off the forums and rescind your life.

If you believe that the moon landing was faked, you should be kicked multiple times in the head with a steel-tipped boot.

While at the time of the original moon landings, we wanted to show the Russians that we could send someone to the moon, the hidden message was, we could hit you with an ICBM. To build a rocket powerful enough to send a man to the moon now would run in the billions of dollars and people in Congress would object on the grounds that their constituents would object. Look how long it will build the ISS and how much that will cost even split amonst several countries.

dont forget Holocaust revisionists!

now those holocaust revisionists or those who believe it didn't happen really take the cake in the weirdo category. now, i have visited Dachau and Auschwitz so I am pretty sure that it took place. Well, i took a class in college on literature and film of the Holocaust, and we got the chance to go to a presentation put on by a survivor. well, there was one of those people there who was shouting and saying the holocaust never happened and the survivor went over to the guy, and showed him her arm with her tattoo, and then said to him "tell me to my face that it didn't happen". the guy just walked away and left. dumbas$
