“The type of people”?

Intelligent ones

Believers.

Believers.

You think that’s air you’re breathing?

I think people are laughing at you, not with you.

Hi Rob.

At the end of the day this forum is just that.

A place where you can have a viewpoint.

Getting laughed at? Water of a ducks back.

Josh Rogan has done some really good podcasts on this subject.

I admit he can be frustrating because he can flip in his view.

But the whole Stanley Kubrick association with this is extremely interesting.

If Kubrick was filming it he’d insist on actually going to get the lighting right.

Have you watched the series 'For All Mankind'?

No, not yet. I've heard really good things about it though. Saw some clips on YouTube. We only have prime and netflix; isn't it on apple?

It is on Apple (But there are other ways). 3 series and the first couple of episodes are really good at portraying how shocked the US public were and the effect on the psyche especially on the would be Astronauts, by having the Russians beat them to the moon.

What's your friends name so we can check his credentials.

[Super Sonic]

Reasonably humorous, but unoriginal. Will not attain legendary thread status.

That is funny and something to be laughed at!

Guys, I really don’t want to upset anyone on here.

I really don’t.

I didn’t post without thinking. I just thought it was a valid talking point with some very intelligent people. And would provoke debate.

With our current understanding of technology.

Bloody hell I’ve been called out on this.

Sir Eric. (MC)

I will follow your advice.

You got the same reaction if you'd have posted the flat earth theory, Bigfoot is real or 911s are just beetles with an extra set of cylinders. Some arguments aren't worth having.

I think it's one of those where if you follow the science it makes sense and if you just use common sense with all the people involved wouldn't you have thought just one of them might have kept some evidence or done some kind of "deathbed confession"?

I'm sure this wasn't your intention but it also seems slightly disrespectful to the memories of various dead aviators and astronauts to suggest the thing they died pursuing was all some sort of elaborate hoax.

[Simpo Two]

It's easy to imagine somebody born after 1969, who only knows space shuttles and other rockets exploding just trying to reach Earth orbit, thinking 'How could they have possibly have got to the Moon before I was born? They didn't even have smartphones...'

No one is upset. You can believe whatever you wish.

As can Sir Eric. (Who you've yet to convince me that he exists).

Belief does not equal facts. Though, nowadays many conflate one with the other.

That's a pity.

Why make up the stuff about the physicist though?

Thanks Stewie.

That’s exactly the concise response I was looking for with this.

This thread turned into - who is your mate?

As if I’d say that on here.

Would you guy’s? Answer that Seriously.

I’ve been properly roasted on this. It was just a viewpoint that didn’t go with the narrative.

It’s not real life on here. It’s a place you can have a chat with blokes.

It's not 'a narrative'.
