Some interesting sites (RE: Did we land on the moon?)

This site is run by David Percy. Before you actually read it, and before you actually think this guy's credible, I just want to say that I truly believe that this cook is the Graham Kennedy of the Astronomy world!

http://www.moonmovie.com/

This money-grubbing crackpot actually has a "send anonymous tips" section! Anybody willing to pool together with me and compile an e-mail to feed this guy the bullshit he wants?:D

Of course we didn't go to the moon. By the way, I have a large fire breathing dragon in my garage.

You still have yours? We had to send ours to the pound when he ate our truck. Fortunately, truck gnomes came during the night and replaced it with an identical copy, right down to the large dent I accidentily put into it backing into a "No Parking" sign (trying to parallel park).

Hey anyone remember the movie about a faked Mars landing? Mabye we should send this guy the names the actors as secret agents who have been hiding the truth. I dont remember the name, began with a "C" I think. I was pretty young, it had OJ Simpson I think.

They don't let us keep dragons in California. Something about them being a non-native invasive species.

I'm looking for a certain website whose address I've lost. It makes fun of sites that claim the moon landing was faked. It has screenshots of some strange old science fiction film with an obviously faked moon, but ignores the massive errors in favor of the relatively trivial locations of the stars. Does anyone know this site?

It's Capricorn One

A really crappy movie and it has OJ in it so it's no wonder that the movie features murder and stuff

You do realize I was mocking those sites, right?

You don't think I actually believe the hoax thing, right? :P

As soon as you compared the first author to Grahamn Kennedy, I knew you were kidding. You would have to really hate someone to compare his intellect to that of GK's.

'Course. You DO know that I was offering up the Bad Astronomy site for those other than yourself who would come to this thread based on its title pertaining to the Moon hoax, right?

In other words... "If you come across nutcases who believe in the Moon hoax, send 'em that way."

At first I thought they just used pressureized gas, but they simply used a really weak rocket. Pressurized gas would make total sense to me though

It would, but you might have problems wheras rockets are known to be reliable...

You actually obey that law? I keep it in my backyard, and anyone who tries to take it away becomes lunch. Who needs dogs?
