Did we actually land on the moon?

Dave, Jesus loves you.

More importantly, I love you more. Because you know Occam's Razor. Which means you know philosophy. Which means I would like to smoke a joint with you sometime and discuss philosophical topics.

May the wrath of a million bumblebees infest the dark, hairy crevices of your opponents anus should they bid you any more harm or backtalk.

Fairwell, frodo, for a wizard is never late, he arrives precisely when he means to.
I thank you my friend. :)

I know I'm just messin' but the company is always nice be it toker or non.. It is too bad we cant throw a RIU BBQ :( maybe one day we could if it at least got decriminalized enough.

And you've mentioned in an earlier post that you don't read books either. I have to ask then...What research do you do? Youtube? I have refuted your arguments and you've not addressed them. You have chosen to ignore them or simply say stuff like "These guys were astronauts! They were fit!" and even when I told you that I, as a former bodybuilder gave explanations why they couldn't jump due to limited mobility, you ignored them. Younever even addressed my statement regarding how the American flags were constructed.

You don't read books. You don't watch television. All your evidence is from people posting inane crap on Youtube. I lived and breathed NASA while growing up. I have read innumerable books on the Space Programs of Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo. I have watched innumerable documentaries on the same. I have met actual designers of the LEM (Lunar Excursion Module). Can you say the same? No you can't. And you didn't answer me when I asked you if you knew of Occam's Razor.

If you're going to say that you've "researched" a given subject, I'd suggest finding sources other than Youtube.
Here Dave, hit this:joint:

Ok, on that note, I apologize for disregarding your questions. As I have stated multiple times in this thread, 'the only research on the subject has been within this thread'! I'm sure you know 20 times more than me about NASA and space exploration. So the vids have been a an expedited NASA "class" for me(except on the flip side of the spectrum).

I do not know "Occam's Razor"... Whats it about? :mrgreen:

I have posted vids other than just youtube. And my argument still holds true about the vids- "anything that can be posted via reading can be expressed via video but with the added bonus of sound and much more visuals. What can't you learn via watching than you could from reading? I have not been reading books lately because I have a mild case of ADD and its easier to use the computer.

I also studied electronics and went to school for engineering(I had family problems and couldn't finish college) and I have read plenty of books on the subject.(I was studying calculus in senior year at a vocational school.... I was probably the only one) I don't have the time or patience to go finding NASA books to read.

I never questioned the moon landing until the day I started this thread(I read "the moon landing was a hoax" from somewhere on the internet, so I started looking it up)and figured I would have some fun with it, and share it with you guys.

So take a hit of this :joint: (or make sure he gets contact high SM:mrgreen:) and help answer my question that me and PosNet have been pondering- why is the video like that at double speed?

Please refute my logic instead of telling me how great/accomplished of a person you are.

Thanks Dave:mrgreen:

Occam's Razor in it's simplest form is that the simplest answer is the best, without the inclusion of an unnecessary outside entity.. Dave can expound on it since he's got the college degree..

Now I feel intelligent. Please let me have my moment :)

You still have disregarded my arguments We and the only reason I stated "my accomplishments" was due to the fact the you hold PosNet in high regard because he's a web designer and you imply that he/she must be learned. I am learned as well and when I refuted your argument, you either ignored them or posted your opinion. I do not play my hand unless I have to. Your logic is flawed because you refuse to fully scrutinize the very material that you supposedly research. You claim to have an open mind, but you disregard any argument opposed to what you want to "see" on the internet. That is why Occam's Razor plays such a fundamental role in how we scrutinize evidence and events that we observe.

I'm not on par yet as this has been a very emotional week for me (death in the family) but I'll say this...

Some of the brightest minds in science worked for NASA during the 50's and 60's. If theywere to perpetuate a fraud, don't you think that some of those brilliant minds would've looked at the hoax video and say something like "Hey! That flag is waving in the breeze! Shut the goddamn door so the breeze isn't coming in and reshoot the film!" or something like..."Hey! They're on the moon in reduced gravity! Why are they only jumping 6 inches? Get some guy wires out and pull them up higher so it appears as if they're jumping in low gravity!"

Ever thought of that? That is the root of Occam's Razor...

You have your moment buddy. That pretty much sums it up. 8)

All things being equal, the simplest, most reasonable answer is the most accurate..

And again...Why didn't the Soviets expose the fraud? Explain that. We were in the midst of a war and a race. A Cold War and a Space Race. The stage was the global community to show the rest of the world who was the best. If we had perpetuated a fraud, the Soviets would have exposed us to the entire world. How do I know that? I lived it. Few people here can probably lay claim to that. Please refute that. Why didn't the Soviets expose the fraud when they had the expertise and technology to track us to the moon and back. The race to put a man on the moon was purely political. We were engaged in a Death Match w/the Soviet Union. They would have loved nothing more than to expose us if we had executed a hoax.

Once again...Occam's Razor.

Ok, I'll admit that I used the dreaded "youtube"(sorry I didn't want to read a book on it) to search for a brief description of Occam's Razor. Basically the guy would simply stab someone if they didn't agree with him about a debate....right? LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJZSxRhXt5M (let me look for more sources because this seems like BS)

Are you trying to stab me in the eye or something? :lol:

On a more serious note, I can only speculate why the Russians didn't/wouldn't 'rat' on us, because I don't know.

I am simply asking question with the hope of you guys explaining my qualms about the moon landings. I could very possibly be wrong about all of this. I appreciate your educated opinions on the subject and I would appreciate if you could debate about the what I have postulated about the video- about how how PosNet is positive that that speeds/'height of jump' do not coincide with what should have taken place on the moon.

I've tried We. You're not looking for answers because I've given you my answers and the means to obtain further answers but you won't pursue them. And anytime I ask you to use common sense and refute me, your answer is..."idk". I'm done buddy.

Hmm...No can do. I'm assuming your definition of the universe is one that holds to a hyperbolic geometry then, yes?
Honey.. come on, I thought you would have caught that one. He uses THE SPICE! :D


Occam's Razor(fight)... another way to pose the question, and the way that I make determinations on many things all the time is to ask this question; Is it more likely than not ______________________________________________?

Q: Is it more likely that the U.S. hoaxed the moon missions, or not?
A: I say it's not likely that the government went to all that trouble to fake moon landings.

Q: Is it more likely than not that the Soviets (a person doesn't have to have lived through an era themselves to be able to glean information) would expose a U.S. moon landing hoax as such?
A: I think they would, and DID, jump on any chance whatsoever to expose the U.S. government for a fraud on its people.

Q: In a razorfight, is it more likely than not that Occam would win?
A: Not if the other guy brought a gun.
