MythBusters Claims the Moon Landings Actually Happened
On their show last night, MythBusters sought to debunk one of the biggest myths of all, that NASA’s “moon landings” were shot on a Hollywood backlot. And, spoiler alert, it looks like all that space exploration actually happened. So I guess that’s it. Everyone can now remove their tinfoil hats and crack open a bag of freeze dried ice cream. Unless…of course…MythBusters is in on the whole thing…

i am curious. why won’t this one question go away?
but, after reading all the arguements, my main question is this:
if they made, what was it, 17 moon landing 40 YEARS AGO, what would be so hard for them to go back one more time?
did the little old lady with the recipe die?
If Bill Kaysing were still alive today, he’d be very disappointed that the Mythbusters team has more or less proved him wrong.
Mythbusters only proved how easy it was to fake the “Moon landings” here on Earth. Niether they nor NASA has provided INDEPENDENT evidence that the Apollo 11-17 missions were not faked. Examine the “proof and you will know it was all faked. Bill Kaysing would dress down the bull that Mythbusters presented. They also DID NOT “debunk” the radiation, covered crosshars, the Apollo 16 Flag waving, the Dust from the rover, The size of the Lunar Lander Hatch, Moon temperature, Photos/radiation, and so many others still unanswered questions. Just this week NASA botched a simple satellite launch. Wake up NASA believers.
Other points never discussed:
The Van Allen belt around the Earth, are about 700 miles up, the Van Allen belt would probably have cooked any astronauts who ventured into that area. Then you’ve got outer space where there are billions of micro meteorites zipping around at speeds up to 60 000 miles per hour, and these would have gone right through the command capsule with the astronauts in it, and kept right on going, and these micro meteorites are all different sizes, from the head of a pin to, say, the size of a grapefruit and larger.In 1959 The Russians discovered that the radiation on the moon would require astronauts to be clothed in four feet of lead to avoid being killed. NASA picked up on this study and, of course, did some studies of their own and, subsequently, other studies were made about all of the different hazards on the moon, particularly something as benign, you might think, as temperature. The temperature on the moon during a lunar day is 250°F. Now, trying to keep either the suits or the lunar lander cool during that tremendous heat from a blazing sun would have been impossible because they did not have enough air conditioning power.
Note the Russians never went. We are in a one world government already and all Nations work against the people.

Will you publish my first statments or are you just a NASA shil
I will soon find out; because I am watching you.
The fact that NASA paid them to show the episode, that only focused on 2 photos… just shows how the overwhelming evidence against them is affecting them, especially after recent footage was leaked from NASA showing how the earth photos were faked…. No one could go to the moon thats why NASA had to stop faking their moon landings to buff up the rockets… It is known that even satellites cant just go to the moon without proper preparation to counter the Van Allen Radiation Belt. The new Moon ships look lyk buffed up Apollo rockets, with lead shielding to allow the safe passage of humans. According to me Adam and Jamie looked awkwardly hyped up… in the other episodes they would try all other options.. and in this one they focus on 2 photos…. I have lost my respect for Mythbusters. I never had any for NASA. Space is no longer dominated by US so they have been increasingly on the defensive on this. They make it look lyk those for the conspiracy ate America, and those for the moon landing patriotic Americans.. and NASA nice enough to let the ride the weightless roller coaster..
The most obvious thing about the show is that they had to place the model lander, carefully on the soil so that it looks lyk the ‘moon landing’. I dont think the lander, if it really landed on the moon would land lyk this.. NASA forgot to fake the impact crater, implying that the astronauts were heavier than the ship itself.. You can look at the other photos on the NASA website itself…
Anyway what they have done is just to spark debate on something that not many people knew, I even doubt the experiments they did were legit… IT WAS A SHIT EPISODE.
For Mothernature and 1one (isn’t that a bit redundant?)
1one- So in proving that the photos were’nt faked, Mythbusters played right into your hands by showing how easy it was to fake them? Now, that makes sense.
Mothernature – Mythbusters didn’t lose your respect, you withdrew it when they didn’t agree with you. There’s a difference.
It’s a free country, despite what you might think, so believe what you wish. But let me leave you with this. You can find individuals who are very good at lying, misdirection, subterfuge and propaganda. (By the way, government’s don’t have a monopoly on the last one.) One on one, they can be very persuasive. Lying as a group is a much trickier feat to pull off. Pile on keeping the lie going for thirty years and it gets dicier still. Add large numbers of people determined to out the lie and the problems surmount…
For a conspiracy to be a conspiracy, at least two people have to be involved. These 2 or more people must share two things in common. These are a common goal or goals, and the ability to keep it secret. The more people you add, the more unlikely that they will have the same goals or that their goals will remain the same. And their ability to keep a secret? Well that’s the one thing it’s nearly impossible for a group to do for any length of time. For a project the size of Apollo, you are talking about a fairly sizable group no matter how compartmentalized the project.
I think folks are getting bogged down in the deliciously arcane world of technological details and forgetting that we are dealing with human beings here. Large groups keeping large secrets for the government successfully? I haven’t seen anything to make me believe that yet.
One last thing, whose idea was it? I mean, someone had to be the first to say “Well, we can’t pull this off, so we’re gonna have to fake it.” Ideas like that don’t spring out of nowhere, someone had to say it first. They had to say it to someone who agreed. Who were these specific people? Where did it start? It seems to me, if there is a conspiracy to cover up fake moon landings, that would be a good place to start looking.
Just a few ramblings,
