Conspiracy Theories

Interesting show on the Discovery Channel about the conspiracy theory that we did not land on the Moon. Obviously we did.

I will give a practical non-scientific proving we landed on the Moon, namely, how the hell could this be keep a secret? There would have to be hundreds and hundreds of people involved with maintaining this conspiracy now going on for over thirty-five years. Its just not practical that one of these men or women would keep their mouths shut. Come on, Watergate was between a select few individuals and even that was exposed.

Then there was our nemesis the Soviet Union. Wouldn't you think that any possible conspiracy by the Americans to fake the landing on the Moon would be exposed by the Russians? They listened in on every single one of the NASA's radio transmissions. What better way to spite the capitalist swine than to disprove the Moon Landing?

I cannot argue from a scientific basis. My one semester of astronomy just will not cut it. Just look at BadAstronomy for a scientific explanation.

Give it up. We did land on the Moon.
