What a HOOT !

Hello Red, Let me preface by declaring that I am not your typical 'conspiracy nut'. Though, I have to say that this one is a toughy for me. The reason why is that my father, who was one of the most respected people that I have ever known, was adament that the USA never landed a man on the moon. He was a master electrician, who contracted his services to the DOD. He was an integral part of the conversion our our submarine fleet from diesel to nuclear (on Oahu, Hawaii), back in the mid to late 60s. After we left Hawaii, he was contracted in the Utah desert. To this day, I still don't know what he was doing out the in the desert, as my mother and us kids were living in California, and where my father only flew home on the weekends. Yet, it was only after he took the Utah contract that he scoffed at our claims of having landed a man on the moon. While he never disclosed what he was actually doing in Utah (in the late 60s - early 70s), he would regularly declare, to my sibbling and I, that the alleged photo sight of the lunar landings was actually a desert location in Utah, and that he knew it to be so, because he had seen it with his own two eyes. Does that mean that he saw a sight that looked remarkably like the lunar images? Or does it mean that he witnessed the photo staging? I cannot say, as he honored his contractual security clearance to his deathbed. So, take from my tale what you will. Forty years later, we still have not been back to the moon. Nor has any other nation, despite the concerted effort of the determined former Soviet Union. I'm not going to declare that we have either been to the moon, or not. I'm only on the record as stating that the claims have yet to be proved, or disproved. I'll reserve any final judgement until we launch a future lunar expedition where we have real-time evidence of the our prior lunar experience of the late 1960s.

I dont think its fun, and yeah there r lots of them who take it really seroiusly. And yeah it did make me think about it so many times, before i came to some conclusion, but still the doubt rises, may b thats true. So may be?

Funny yes, but sad that people actually believe this stuff. I know it is hard for some to actually believe that man could land on the moon. I have heard both side and I have to believe that we where on the moon. At one time, when I was young, I did believe this nonsense. By problem was the flag. I could see the flag waving. Why was the flag waving if there is no wind. I found out that we they planted the flag that put the flag into motion. Of course since there is no gravity what is to stop the flag from moving. It made sense to me and I moved on.

Howdy RYBDog, I have seen those shots. They are hilarious. But you know there really are people that will get something like that in email and believe it. I see it on forums all of the time. Not to mention The teenagers that hang out here at home with my son I will hear them bring something like this up.

I think too many people take them seriously... there are far more important things to worry about then some made up nonsense about a government conspiracy to fake a moon landing. After all of these years I can't believe this one still has legs. Sheesh...
