What I'm interested in following is not a crowd, of ANY size. I'm interested in the truth.
Actually, we are ALL sheep. If you think about it, we all follow something. That is by design, It's the way we're made.
No body told me the moon landing was real, and no body told me it was fake.
I have my reasons for believing the way I do, and some of those reasons we have been discussing. I have enough to make me believe the moon landing was faked. Anyone is welcome to disagree and give their reasons for believing otherwise. I didn't exactly call anyone foolish for believing in the moon landing. I think you'll find that I've been defending myself against those who call ME foolish...those who want to compare this to the shape of the earth, or Watergate, etc.
Yes, there ARE landers on Mars. But it doesn't matter what is there and what isn't. The point is, we have put those things there. And we are MUCH closer to the Moon than we are to Mars.
I understand you have your
reasons for believeing it was faked, but what I really want to know is
what made you believe it was not real? There was one event, one conversation, one particular moment that you decided all the stories you had been told up til then were lies. It was obviously a big event, as to think as you do takes quite a change of heart. But what was that event?
As far as being closer to moon, true, but how close do we need to get, without actually landing there, to stick a flag on the surface? To drop a plaque rightsideup on the surface? To leave tracks and footprints without somehow touching the surface?
The Mars rovers dig into the Martian soil, put that soil into a tester and test it, and then send the results back to earth. I don't think ramming a stick into the ground would be too much to ask.
You're not going to believe the way I do. The things that have been presented here is my evidence to you. Not irrefutable proof, but evidence. You have yours, and I have mine. I don't feel like going beyond that. To me it looks like people would be willing to look at what has been shown and at least question those things that don't look quite right. You still might end up believing, but without even questioning?
Don't you think it's even a little strange that the moon landing happened at the time of the space race with Russia?
I don't find it at all strange that the moon landing took place when it did. It
was the result of the space race. It's why the race took hold in the first place, to see who could land a man on the moon first. If we hadn't done it, then someone else would have, so there's really no coincidece to take into consideration.
As far as questioning what's been told to us, why don't you question the motivation behind the people you study that say this event didn't happen? Forget for a moment the pictures and video that someone else says proves the moon landing didn't happen, and look to
why they're saying this.
No matter what side you're on, there's only one way to view this situation. One party is telling the truth, and the other party is trying to convince everyone the fist party is lying. Since this is a fact, you need to look at the underlying motives.
1.) NASA created the moon landing on Earth, and it never actually took place.
Motives:
a.) To end the space race.
b.) To convince the world that the US was the first to accomplish this feat.
c.) To give the US population a victory and sense of pride.
d.) To fulfill President Kennedy's prediction.
2.) Conspiracy theorists know the moon landing took place, but wish others to believe it was a hoax.
Motives:
a.) The theorist has a grudge against NASA and wishes to mar their name.
b.) The theorist was somehow belittled, or feel they were belitted, by NASA's actions.
c.) The theorist truly believes the landing was a hoax, and uses whatever he can to try and convince others of this.
d.) The theorist is simply paranoid.
As you can see, even if the whole thing was a hoax, at least NASA had worthwhile motives for their lies, which the landing dis-believers have questionsable, at best, motives for believeing as they do.
Another thing you need to study is this: when NASA released their footage and recordings and photos and the rocks they brought back, they simply put the information out there and let folks decide for themselves. Non-believers, on the other hand, use anything they believe supports their theory to try and
convince others that it was a hoax, even if the "evidence" they produce is questionable. This, I feel, is where the difference lies.
