Men on the Moon

I have been sitting on this post for some time not wanting to wade into the controversy around this great achievement of humanity. 40 years ago the USA sent men to the moon and went back there 6 times. I was not around for the first moon shot so I was experiencing it by watching the real time simulated launch on http://wechoosethemoon.org and decided to go to YouTube to see some of the footage from the Apollo 11 landing.

I started read the comments below this video and could not believe some of things I read.These non believers must not really think about what they are saying. Besides the person who just spews insults some try to make arguments that the landing is fake. One person asks why the flag moves if there is no atmosphere? well watch the video, the flag only moves when they are touching it. Those movements are caused by the astronauts themselves. Some ones asks about the camera that took the pictures of Neil as he stepped onto the moon. That it must have been held by someone. Again look at the images, the angle and the vibrations as Neil takes his steps clearly show that it is mounted to the side of the Lander. This was a historical event do you not think they would not have placed a camera somewhere were it could record the event. Can some people just not see things objectively. There were thousands of people involved with this effort. If it was faked do you not think someone would have come forward by now. A secret is no longer a secret once more then one person knows of it.

Kirean posts a quote that fits this well
"Never argue with an idiot, they just drag you down to their level and beat you with years of experience." and V.S. Ramachandran, the Director for Brain and Cognition, points out in his book "A Brief Tour of Human Consciousness" "the delusionist will always rearrange reality to fit his or her delusion."

I know there is no arguing with these conspiracy people they are like the many who believe in UFO sightings or the ones who believe the Twin towers destruction was faked. I had to post just to get it out of my system.

This has been My Point of View
