Some of the footage definitely looks bogus. The Apollo 15 return launch looked like something out of Button Moon.
LOL We've definitely arrived in Bizarro World when people will camp out to pay $20 to watch CGI of things happening, but the actual footage of one of mankind's greatest achievements "looks bogus."
Cmon Harry it was the 60s. And they were on the Moon! Of course it’s going to look weird, primitive etc.
That's a great point. The footage looks "weird" compared to...what? All of those other movies that were shot on the moon? LOL
For what it's worth, a Japanese lunar probe spotted the Apollo 15 landing site about a decade ago. So unless we're suggesting that now the Japanese are in on the hoax, then yeah, the stuff is up there.
The problem is that most of the time a conspiracy theorists evidence of conspiracy is an error, or a different wording or a coincidence. The world of humans is such fertile ground for conspiracies. I’ve often said that you could take any subject or any event and if you spent enough time searching you would find the raw materials to come up with some form of conspiracy. Pass it on to someone else and they will find more and probably link it to some other theory if they can. When you add into the mix a tendency toward obsession and a pinch of paranoia then you’re on your way. I’m not saying that conspiracies and cover-up’s haven’t occurred in the past and won’t occur again in the future but I just think that most extreme caution should be employed before getting carried away. And, as in the Knight theory, we should accept hard evidence and guard against defending a thoroughly debunked theory no matter what.

Our beliefs should be fact based as far as it's possible to find the facts. It's on my to-do list to research the man landings (watch some videos!) and enumerate the counter
points against the kind of points made in the url posted by Sam in his post #6.
Finding facts to debunk the moon landings is one approach to get at the truth. But looking at the other way, what hard facts/evidence is there to support
the moon landings actually occurred. Believing the Americans landed on the moon just because they said they did and "here's the video to prove it" isn't good enough IMO.

So its only a conspiracy theory when it suits YOU . How very selective of you .
We should also guard ourselves against people who clearly refuse to except all possibilities where the evidence shows it possible to do so .... even knights .

Much like the Russians when they told the world that Yuri Gagarin was the first man in space .

yeah, it’s not as if there are literally hundreds of kilos of rocks brought back from the moon, right??? Or photos and film of it, or interviews with everyone involved and entire museums and thousands of books and articles detailing what happened. Oh wait, there are.
For an encore, why not try denying the Holocaust? I mean, just because the Allies said it happened and a few people went missing isn’t good enough, is it?
Meanwhile, conspiracy theories actually cost people their lives. While it might seem like harmless internet fun serving mainly to position you as smarter and more insightful than the rest of us for seeing through the scam perpetrated on the world, buying into and spreading conspiracy theories have tragic, real life consequences.

so please don’t do it.
Believing everything what you are told is in MSM and not questioning any of it has tragic, real life consequencs. So please don't do it.
The expectation I have for this thread is to have a mature, balanced discussion of the facts and evidence. If you have a problem with that,
that's up to you.
