		<description>There is only one thing that proves that humans hav&#039;nt left the earth, and thats the radiation out side of the earths protective field, and astronauts are just high altitude fliers, no one technically has ever been into space. any evidence on the moon ie reflectors buggies what ever junk might be there could easily have been dumped be automaton rockets, samples too could be precured from moon via returnable rocket, but flesh and bone cant survive thats my point. also it really really dos&#039;nt mater if man went to the moon because what did it prove! we can spend billions sending a few people in rockets while billions starve... well done. ooh one more thing why hasnt the shuttle done a fly by of the moon, the sheilding fuel capacity and technology far out strips that of the foil module of 40 years since, (but even the shuttle could not protect against the radiation of space, your talking the minimum of 6 inchs equivalant of lead....)</description>

		<description>I’ve just finished analyzing more than 500 NASA Apollo images by Adobe Photoshop CS4.
I enhanced the sky portion of the images.
See for detail: http://members.shaw.ca/alex11/moonhoax/
To my surprise I found the Moon in the sky of  several images, I found shooting stars, two landing modules (in the same image) and the stars in position as seen from the Earth. And not a shred of evidence that any Man has ever been on the Moon.
So I conclude that the images were faked by NASA. Then come the Europeans and the Japanese, and they can not see landing sites. Then comes NASA and they produce a black square and say this is the lunar rover. Would u believe yourself that to be true? I doubt it.
Just the simple fact that 40 years ago, with very basic electronic end instrumentation technology they could land on the Moon, but it takes 40 years with very sophisticated technology and we still do not have clear images of the landing sites, proves to me that such landings never took place.

		<description>To max:
Mate, you are an absolute embarressment to all us fair dinkum Aussis. You have missed the whole point of the Mythbusters show.
The experiments performed by the Mythbusters team proved conclusively that people could not have faked it even if they tried.
Have a VB on me....</description>

		<description>They finally aired this episode in Australia today. If anything, Mythbusters showed us how Nasa could have faked everything, rather than debunking the myths.</description>

		<description>Chris says:
                           There was no computer animation in the 1960s, dude. The average computer back then was barely powerful enough to do relatively simple math equations.

Exactly, dude - you&#039;ve just made my point for me - thx</description>

		<description>&quot;...yet the dust particles go flying a much greater distance than would be possible in Earth’s gravity well - not an easy thing to fake with 1960s computer animation technology.&quot;

		<description>I&#039;ve seen the Mythbuster episode debunking the hoaxsters.  The MB group did an amazing job addressing all of the ridiculous claims made by hoaxsters and definitively proved them wrong, wrong, wrong.  It might be possible, with today&#039;s computer technology, to &#039;fake&#039; a landing on any alien planetary body but not with the computer technology that existed in the 1960s.  For one, just look at the dust particles that project away from the wheels of the lunar rover - it is so obvious that the dust particles are moving in a lesser gravity well than the Earth&#039;s.  The wheels slip sideways slightly, yet the dust particles go flying a much greater distance than would be possible in Earth&#039;s gravity well - not an easy thing to fake with 1960s computer animation technology.  Second, Jamie and Adam demonstrated that the strange bouncing/jumping gait the astronaut&#039;s used to move around on the Moon could not be fake within the Earth&#039;s gravity well.  In fact, they proved that the strange gait the astronauts used is the most efficient way of getting around when in the Moon&#039;s gravity well.  They tried slowing down the film and the movement looked nothing like what was filmed on the Moon.  They tried tethering Adam in a suit to try to reproduce the strange gait and again the movement looked nothing like what was filmed on the Moon.  They were able to reproduce the strange gait only when they were on the &#039;vomit comet&#039; and adjusted it&#039;s hyperbola to reproduce the Moon&#039;s 1/6 gravity well.  So hoaxsters - you are the HOAX - give it up already - we went to the Moon - period</description>
