I think the moon hoax stuff is just a bunch of bullshit. It's been refuted several times over, and if the networks gave as much time to the refutations as they do the conspiracy kooks, then maybe the moon landing hoax stuff would have been put to rest a long time ago.

Moon hoax ... it is dust in the wind ... literally. Look at the lunar rover kick up some dust. Watch the dust track a damn near perfect parabola. Tell me, how in HELL do you fake that in the 1960's? If there was actually any atmosphere in the alleged studio then at least SOME of the dust should have been bouyed by the air and drag should have altered the trajectory of the dust in some manner.

Seriously whenever you kick up dust on earth, it interacts with the air and goes every which way. The only way I can see this being faked is if the entire studio was evacuated.

What's that giant air pump next to studio 7 for? Nothing :roll:

oi, more credence to the fools. but standard NBC protection protects against alpha particles. The real killer is the gamma rays from the sun.
Your skin protects you quite against Alpha particles, as will a thin sheet of paper, cloth or just about anything else. Tinfoil is overkill.

BUT WITUOT TINFOYL THEILL ERAD MY BRANE!!11

I think there's also a beta particle issue as well. Ionisation isnt just nuclei, afterall. Theres electrons too. And they go straight through paper.

Look, if you really think this was hoaxed then you have some need to believe in stupid things. Be careful. Don't give any money to televangelists.

Well Beta particles will go through your skin and paper, but I believe the amount of metal needed to stop them is in the low millimeter range.

YES I ADMIT IT .We in Rabid Monkey Labs were contcted by NASA in 1965 and asked to fake a few landings on the moon. We chose Area 51 for our set ,the craters were a bonus. We then spent the next 7 years faking every moon landing ioncluding landing a probe on the moon to transmit radio signals that were recorded earlier.

Now then if you believe that then you have an IQ aproximating that of one Robert Scott Anderson
