No moon-landing hoax questions?
What has happened?
Was it the LRO image of the astronauts' footpath that stifled the morons?!

As you can see from Is Smart's answer, alas, the hoax theories are still around. Contrary to his/her claims, no real astronauts have said that the landings were hoaxes and the Van Allen belts are not instantly lethal. The International Space Station regularly passes through an area of the belts called the South Atlantic Anomaly, but I don't hear anyone trying to claim that the ISS is a hoax. References to "THE flag" and "THE landing" just show further ignorance because there were SIX manned landings on the Moon and SIX American flags planted there. The flags did not blow in the wind, they moved because the astronauts moved the poles as they deployed the flags. The hoax theories are based on misinformation and bad research and they were debunked years ago. The LRO images are wonderful, but sadly they won't convince people who are stubbornly determined to believe in a hoax regardless of the strong evidence that says otherwise.

"2012" and "Twilight: New Moon" are out, now all the idiots and braindead have better things to do. (and there are really less questions about the moon landing now, but thankfully more about the Space Shuttle...my generation ;) )
And as you can see, in the first answer, you don't need a reason for trolling. Like "talking to real astronauts". The number of astronauts is pretty small and real astronauts have names... which astronaut claims so? Not even the Chinese Taikonauts say the moon landing was fake.
And all the "arguments" inside the answer are, like always, pure nonsense, created by people who must have been hiding in their parents cellar too long - how else can you explain this huge difference between claim and reality?

Wow, the first "Le Smart" guy is an example of the problem with the "no child left behind act" and shows proof that it is in fact "every child left behind." His statements are elementary issues of gravity and inertia. The myth busters even had a TV show about this for the uneducated to watch, because reading is apparently a thing of the past with our youth. None of the astronauts ever said it was a myth. As a matter of fact, Buzz Aldrin is in my fraternity and he thought the myth thing was funny. There is also a reflector on the moon. Someone had to place it there.
Obama really needs to put some of that "Stimulus" money into education. It may be a better investment than into failed automotives and social programs.

Well i'll tell you why the flag blow around Is smart (is that meant to be ironic) it's because when the astronauts put the flag in they twisted it in, seeing as there was no air to stop this continuing along the flag it appears to flutter. If you want evidence for us having been there then try this: we can tell how far away the moon is by firing a laser at a reflector on the moon. Who put it there us (not ufos) ergo we have been to the moon. Look up the moon dust and the Van Allen belt and you will find logical reasons for them being wrong.

SEE! The idiots are still around.

EDIT: The link I posted goes to Lunar Recon Orbiter (LRO)
This link shows the laser mirror array left by Neil Armstrong that we still use today to bounce a laser beam off the moon and measure it's distance from Earth.

There is a certain breed of human that has the stubborn gene that is defective. this particular denizen of the interweb will never accept evidence that they consider defective. They will however accept evidence they want to that furthers their delusion that they actually know something we don't. The only way they would accept it is to fund themselves and go there themselves. A few with the defective gene seem to accept independent verification but I think the faulty stubborn gene will re exert itself deny that as well.
Is Smart, name the astronaut. Why deny those that went, they are after all astronauts and by your commentary and I quote
"and they would know over anything you can provide as so called proof it did happen."
Then please explain why the belts are dangerous.

With Sony Pictures making money off of 2012, people have forgotten about NASA conspiracies and are focused on a ficticiuos doomsday instead.
Like all things, ebb and flow, the moonie llonies will return soon.

You just had to ask this and stir up the flat earthers, didn't you. Just because all reasonable evidence points to it being true doesn't mean that idiots will believe it. It makes them feel special to believe something that reasonable people know is wrong. These same people believe that the government is incapable of running anything, but can run huge conspiricies.

What moon-landing?
What hoax?
What's a LRO?
You should be more specific for those of us who are first-timers here...:-)
Besides, everyone knows now that that thing up there at night is not a real body! It's just a big round flat thing that the CIA put up there to spy on us at night. Don't you know why it always shows just one side to the earth, dummy? 'Cause the space ship that moves it is on the other side and it's hidden from our view.!! So footprints can be painted on it easily..... don't be so gullible/gullable/gulliabel or however it's speeled/sppeled/spild ....... you know, wrote down.
