On a lighter note, The Daily Week (satire) claims that the Apollo landings were faked… on Pluto.

Aha! They didn’t call it a fake officially, but maybe they spread all these rumors for useful idiots to run with :-p

I don’t think any amount of proof will convince some people. There is still a flat-earth society (and it didn’t appear to be a spoof).

The problem is educational.

People with poor knowledge of the scientific method need more direct evidences.
They can read to Cervantes but they can not understand physical principles.
Probably they would not be able to argue the shape of the earth.

We can to explain to explain to explain, but we talk another language.
It is a hard job.

I still think some evidence for the moon landing comes from the USSR.

1: They must have believed it to be legite or else they would have promptly called it a fake and pointed out the “evidence” supporting that claim.

2: They could have turned around and faked their own landing shortly after ours. Did they not think of that, or did they see it as pointless?

Little known fact: Industrial Light and Magic and Pixar were spin offs from the government’s secret project ‘Moon Landing’ ;-)

It’s an odd artifact of the general paranormal franchise that a person who believes wholeheartedly in bigfoot will laugh at those silly UFO believers, and a dyed in the wool alien abduction believer will look down his nose at those ignorant psychic believers. When you consider that the evidence for each of the various paranormal claims is roughly the same – very poor – it’s a clearcut indication that the belief is based on something other than the evidence, that there is something about UFO claims that attracts one person, but repels another, something about ghosts that serves one’s needs, but not another’s.

As for me, I believe in the five-day weekend.

By the same logic, a mere moon landing hoax looks like a B movie compared to what Hollywood can do.

I suspect that the younger folk among us are already indifferent to it. I have never heard anyone under 30 show any amount of awe for that amazing feat. To them it is just another boring piece of History ( for the most part). Maybe it has to do with the fantastic abilities of movie makers using CGI to create virtually anything that the imagination can conceive of. A mere jaunt to the lunar surface is so ho hum compared to what Hollywood can do.
