Apollo astronaut: Alien visits covered up by US government

I understand, but I don't understand. What makes it not apocryphal?

 

The levels and the amount of people involved. We have, since the time of the landing, used the same equipment. Additionally, the hardware involved is still available.

Then you need to factor in the actual landing of the shuttle and the people returning. These were recorded. Other people witnessed them live.

To argue that the moon landing was staged would then mean that the shuttle launched into space, did a couple of laps and then came back home without actually going to the moon. It would also mean that the footage had to be shot before the take-off.

When you have people watching a shuttle re-enter orbit, you really can’t just fake it away.

 

Incorrect. Apollo program used completely different hardware from the space shuttle program.

Apollo program, 1961-1975​

Saturn V rocket launch, in this case Apollo 11


Spacecraft


Lunar module

Space shuttle program​

Columbia, first launch of the program

Future program: Constellation​

Ares V launch vehicle


Earth Departure Vehicle


Altair lunar lander

 

Riiiiiight.

 

EDIT: OK, never mind. Fixed. One line of bad code screwed up the whole thing.

 

This thread must be under surveillance by The Party.

 

My phrasing was poor. I was not trying to imply that we use the same hardware today. I was trying to say that we had used the same hardware on other occassions since the time of the landing.

 

If Halliburton was a major NASA contractor, I would be willing to believe we faked the landing to save a few bucks.

 

It's not a "very good" case. It's invariably based on factual ignorance or material fabrication of the evidence.

And, once again, it would depend on the worldwide cooperation of thousands of people, many of whom would be highly motivated to break the story, over the course of 40 years.

 

I sure hope this "evidence" is not the usual "fluttering flag" on the moon or the absence of visible stars in the sky.

Both of which are ridiculously easy to explain.

 

Yeah. It was cloudy and windy that day. Duh!

 

That's where 98% of the conspiracy theorists start.
