I’m pretty sure Adam and Jamie will get it right.

One of my favorite moon-hoax busting comments is from Buzz Aldrin who pointed out that the Russians were monitoring everything, and would have been only too thrilled to provide proof that the decedent Amerikanskis were hoaxing the world! And they could have done so, if that had been the case. The hoaxers say the Russkis were “in” on the deception. (The have to say that or their case falls apart.) This makes me laugh until I plotz.

On the side, the most cogent argument about UFOs and Area 51 being fraudulent comes from a NASA guy who points out we would be shouting it from the rooftops. He said, imagine the funding! Congress would shovel money with bulldozers at us! No amount of coercion can stop that much funding lust!!!! It would make Apollo look like a flea market!!

When the LRO goes up in November, why not also have it photograph that huge tower on the moon, and the ancient alien spaceship while it’s taking snaps. Of course, you realize that if they photograph the areas and nothing is discovered but ordinary moon things, then it has to be another coverup and doctoring of the photos. That’s right. You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

I think it’s best to ignore the people who seriously believe in that moon hoax stuff. They create their own evidence and that’s good enough for them. Don’t bother them with the truth because they don’t want or need it. I think it was Buzz Aldrin who said, “Truth needs no defense.” I think we should respond to the moon hoax believers pitiful challenges with that sound advice.

Speaking of Buzz, I hope you all have watched the YouTube video where he decks a moon hoax believer. The man accused him of being a “coward” by not admitting the moon missions were faked. I can attest that Buzz’s reaction and solid punch to the man’s jaw was no fake. I never get tired of watching that video.

I’ll TiVo Mythbusters and catch that episode, since I’m not a regular viewer. Hopefully, they’ll have a few of the moon hoax believers give their “evidence” for the program’s comic relief section.
