The Moon Hoax
A couple of years ago, I had the pleasure of seeing A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon, a film devoted to proving that man has in fact never set foot on the moon. From beginning with the story of the Tower of Babel to show the historical desire of man to go higher than he should and the tragic consequences of this folly to ending with three black title cards with quotes from Shakespeare, Orwell, and the movie Sneakers ("TOO MANY SECRETS"), the film would like to convince you that it was impossible for man to have gone to the moon. They give a list of various pieces of evidence, including how photographs claimed to be taken on the moon were clearly not taken their--there's wind whipping the flag, there are shadows that are coming from two sources of light, but their main argument is that passing through the Van Allen radiation belts will kill a person, and the Van Allen belts lie in between the earth and the moon, ergo, no man has been to the moon. I have heard James Van Allen himself debunk this myth, but sadly I could not find a link to this. Maybe it is true after all. Is Google in on it, not allowing this debunking to be found? I mean, clue #15 that we didn't go to the moon was that it happened during the Nixon administration, and so we can't trust it. Nixon did go to China, and China has been know to screen the internet.
The same theorists claim to have a new movie (I'll believe it when I see it. Anyone can put up a website claiming to have a movie for sale.) providing further evidence, called Astronauts Gone Wild. Since some people amongst us actually claim to have been to the moon, the producers decided to interview them. If we buy the video, we may discover "[w]hich astronauts refuse to swear on the Bible that they really went to the moon." The preview of the film on their website is Buzz Aldrin shoving the film's director. That's the entire preview. Four seconds of an angry old man calling someone a liar. We clearly did not go to the moon.
