"Have you ever wondered why these conspiracy theorists never mention the 832 lbs of lunar rocks?"

Well, no. :) I didn't know they existed. As I said upthread, I just saw this special and thought they had some good questions. I don't have much science training, never even took physics, so the stuff they said in the special all sounded plausible to me. Previous to the special, I never gave much thought to whether the moon landings really happened. I just assumed they did.

And I still do. The special raised some "what if" questions in my mind, but I wasn't willing to totally believe such an odd idea based on one Fox special. So I'm definitely not convinced it was all a hoax, but am interested in seeing the rebuttle.

Maybe this weekend. I can't look now; I'm at work and need to be working. :)

Thanks,

Michelle

Using 'perspective and vanishing points in other parts of his 'analysis' he fails to apply these principles in the shadow analysis. Most of these sites are promoted by folks trying to peddle videos or to have content that the conspiracy theorists would love to hit. You know, ad counts and all. But, for some, nothing will change their minds:

Why doesn't the fact that they are standing apart on different parts of a sloaping hill enter in to it? In other words, it is impossible to defeat instantaneous ad hoc arguments, no matter what the topic, flat earth, hollow earth, geocentric universe....
