		<description>I have not seen a single piece of footage showing an astronaut jumping higher than he could on earth.
Beyond all reasonable doubt, we did not go.</description>

		<description>Bill Kaysing is a Great Man. A Man that talks the Truth absent of fear of any kind. When Kaysing said there is no Blast Crator under the LEM. He said, That to me is conclusive evidence of a Hoax. 
He said, No way am I looking at a Lander that landed on the moon.</description>

		<description>Cameron,
I will answer your questions as best I can.
You ask, “Why would Gissem put a big lemon in the photo of an Appolo mission and then shortly after he and his wife are killed?”
Virgil Ivan “Gus” Grissom attached a large home-grown lemon to an Apollo simulator that he was dissatisfied with. Later that week, on January 27, 1967, Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee were killed in a fire during a test of the AS-204 Command Module (Apollo 1). His widow, Betty Moore Grissom, lived on into the 21st century.
Concerning Buzz Aldrin, you ask, “Why does Buz cry every time someone asks him about the trip?”
Every time? Mr. Aldrin has spoken dry-eyed about the Apollo 11 mission on a number of occasions.
A good question: “Why didn’t they leave a flag up there for later telescopical viewing and proof?”
Conceivably, a pair of Apollo astronauts could have, with respectful intentions, unrolled a large, UV-resistant flag across the surface of the Moon. An American garrison flag (6.1 m x 11.6 m) on the Moon, for example, would require a truly mammoth telescope in Earth orbit or on the surface of the Earth (with adaptive optics) to detect it. Such telescopes have yet to be built. A better, less expensive solution would be to place a high-resolution camera in lunar orbit, like the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera currently in operation, to image the large flag at a surface spatial resolution of 0.5 m per pixel or better. But there is no guarantee, of course, that all people would accept such large flags visible from Earth or from a lunar orbiter as proof that the Apollo missions were authentic. (Thomas Demski&#039;s “The Superflag” is 154 m in length. If that flag were on the Moon, the Hubble Space Telescope may be able to resolve a one or two pixel image of it. Unfortunately, the epic flag weights some 1,361 kg on Earth, the weight of more than six Lunar Rover Vehicles.)
Lastly, you ask, “How can you travel 950,000,000 miles in 3 days at 1,000,000 miles an hour?”
I can not do this. Are these distance, time, and velocity figures related to an Apollo mission?</description>

		<description>The reason I know for a fact man did not go to the moon is the Bible tells me this.
God gave man dominion only over the earth, not the heavens.
The moon is included in the heavens.
Man did not walk on the moon, he never even went there.
Thank God for the Holy Bible where every answer to every question is.
I appreciate Bill Kaysing&#039;s great work in expsoing this hoax.
God used him.</description>

		<description>With the latest news about the erased original footage of the landing,is certainly a fly in the ointment. NASA&#039;s explanation is defies belief.When you are talking about a moment in time featuring mankind&#039;s greatest accomplishment (costing $billions) and they erased the tapes? Yeah right. I think the wheels are starting to fall off folk and poor Bill will be laughing from the grave. I&#039;m sure there&#039;s more to come.</description>

		<description>I only found out about the moon trip hoax stuff while researching Bill Kasying online.  Bill wrote and distributed  several other books, some of which I collected and found interesting. One was a magazine sized pamphlet called HOMES FOR THE HOMELESS. It&#039;s a shame that didn&#039;t see larger circulation. His common sense thinking surely helped someone out there.  He also wrote Great Hideouts Of The West and a number of books on eating cheap, growing your own garden, hot springs locations,  etc. Just run KAYSING on ebay and you&#039;ll find some of his old books for sale.  That said, let&#039;s not walk around talking trash about Bill Kaysing.  I don&#039;t see his theories on the moon trip any better or worse than the Kennedy assassination theorists. People waste time of their own free will, so let ol&#039; Bill rest in peace. He didn&#039;t kick in your back door and rob you of your time;  you went of your own free will.</description>
