Really, you need to be several fries short of a Happy Meal to buy into
these conspiracy theories...







GOOD COMEBACK.
Nothing like resorting to personal insults during a debate.
And extra points for deleting my whole reply.

So, now that you have set the bar to the lowest peg, I guess my next
counter reply should be .,......."Oh YAA,...well so's yer mom"

You can consider yourself "ignored" from now on

de·bate
noun
1. a formal discussion on a particular topic in a public meeting ... in
which opposing arguments are put forward.

This discussion is hardly formal, and all I did was put forward an
opposing argument. albeit with a comment.

Being ignored by a science denier is no great loss for me. Science
deniers cannot be reasoned with in any case, and are therefore best
ignored in any event ... and now I have the advantage of saying
whatever the heck I want, and I won't need to be concerned about you
coming back with yet more of your bull**** because you are now ignoring
me! Perfect!

The question is, why would a science denier be on an astronomy forum in
the first place? Would it be because they enjoy being insulted and
disparaged? Because they like to be shown wrong, over and over again?
There is virtually no argument that can be made denying man's visit to
the moon that cannot be scientifically refuted, no matter how much a
science denier repeats it. Every single argument can be scientifically
refuted, and have been for a long time.

Science deniers think they have presented evidence in support of their
position, but they have not, their evidence is always fatally flawed.
They are in the vast minority to start with, and perhaps this is the
way they like it to be, active for the minority, no matter the
controversy. I don't know, I'm just thinking out loud here because I
really do not understand the mindset of the science denier... except to
understand that a huge majority of them are in no way actual
scientists, and have apparently embraced the old "I don't understand it
and therefore it must be wrong" posture and have decided to stick with
that through thick and thin... which is a losing strategy, and always
will be.

Science is rarely wrong in the long run, although it certainly has
happened (depending on how you choose to define 'long run'), and the
scientific method ensures that poor hypotheses are weeded out sooner
rather than later. That's what scientists do, try to disprove any and
all new hypotheses... and it only takes one such 'disproof' to blow a
theory up, and cause it to be modified or abandoned. It is foolish to
bet against mainstream science because it is so well monitored by all
the other scientists in the pool, each of whom is gunning for the
others, constantly attempting either confirm or refute their claims.
That's how science works, and it works quite well.

It is not a smart bet to be a science denier, that's my point.





BINGO !!!!
You just rattled off how many words in your response ?
Yet none of them are about SCIENTIFIC FACTS,....only rambling and personal
opinion.

I pointed out the scientific faults in your video link evidence

e.g.
Plexiglas will NOT stop radiation in space
The Van Allen Belts envelope the WHOLE EARTH,....there are no weak spots of
low radiation that men can go through.
Spacecraft can not leave the earth at escape velocities, then suddenly stop
and make 90 degree turns in space.
Photographic film is affected and degrades when subjected to x-rays, and
temperature extremes.

And most importantly,....that NASA can not build a spacecreft, even now,
over 60 years after Apollo, that can get men past the van allen radiation
belts without them dying, and still be light enough to be able to launch it
into space.

Orion only works on paper,....they can't make it fly.

That is why the space station orbits only a mere 200 miles above the
surface. Any higher and the men sent there for more than a few minutes would
be getting a death sentence.

Gamma and other short wave radiation in space is nothing to sneeze
at,.....unless you like coughing up blood.

YOU are the one denying the proven science.
And Apollo never went to the moon.
