How many others are sick of this stupid belief that the moon landings were faked. It is becoming an epidemic by kids who know nothing about space and the space program, except the garbage that Fox news put out some time ago.
If these kids did some researcha and realised the extent and intensity of the Apollo program, they would realise that though any big producer could fake a moon walk in the New Mexico desert, it is absolutely 100% impossible to get that into the systems of computers and monitors at mission control, and fool hundreds of controllers working 3 shifts, 24/7, over the course of 7 years.
Also, there was the radio telescope in Australia that NASA commissioned to monitor the landings when Houston was in its night time. How did the fakers do that one?
Read the facts, please, and not that Fox news stuff that was put out by people like you who do not understand that the moon is entirely different to Earth.

That's one reason they're called "children" - because they are not capable of mature reasoning. As for why they like it - kids want, by their very nature, to defy the system; the ones with anything resembling brains will grow out of it, and the others don't matter much.

It's more interesting and exciting to believe that someone is trying to pull the polyester over your eyes. I think that kids are trying to challenge the teachers (or the news media in this case) to show why they believe it themselves.
BTW, two more arguments: The Russians would have genuinely loved to be able to say that we faked it; it would have humiliated us before the world. They had a pretty good spy network/ radar network back then. Why didn't they expose us as fakers...? because they couldn't: it was real.
Also, the Moon rocks that were brought back match the Moon rocks that landed on Earth due to being blasted away from the Moon by meteor impacts. They have been studied by reputable sicentists all over the world. They're not ALL in on some conspiracy...!
We landed on the Moon. We really, really did.
I'm proud to be an American!

It is a hard thing to understand what Reality is and they seem to have long since given up teaching it in school. It would seem far too controversial.
The only thing worse than having too many sources of information is not having them. If someone want to explore why the earth is not flat or why this or that crazy Idea might not be correct, they can look at the story from all sides.
It is useful to look at conspiracy theories and see if it is possible that they have actual humans involved. Actual conspirators will have internal squabbles, braggarts, turncoats, unexpected results, screw-ups, and loose cannons.
In fantasy conspiracies they plan perfectly, have no arguments, follow orders to perfection, and leave no trace but supposition.
It is often that actual conspiracies use fantasy conspiracies as cover.

Well, I have to agree. And the 9/11 crap is worse.
Luckly NASA is going back to the moon. And the Japanese are sending a probe the SELENA program I believe. The japanese plan to photo the moon. And of course the Apollo landing sites.
We went to the moon...That or NASA got some really good mind altering drugs they are not sharing. To be able to convence thousands of employees we went.

I'm extremely sick of it. They've already made up their minds that it was faked, and they don't WANT to learn that it wasn't. What good are facts and the truth when they don't agree with what you want to believe? They don't even understand what they're typing, they just copy and paste from conspiracy websites. It's not kids really, but stupid people. These are usually the same people that believe in the equally ridiculous conspiracy theories of 9/11, the Kennedy assassination, and the Roswell Incident. Tinfoil hat wearers.

Fox News perpetuated moon landing conspiracy theories?

The "extent and intensity of the Apollo program" does not appear to be in question.
(P.S. . . . Kids watch Fox News? That's encouraging.)

So the former conspiracy theorists have gained yet another. So, if we do bypass for the Amero does this advise we are one step in the route of taking on Canada's wealth of forests, oil, water and uranium. Sasketchewan is the international's best corporation of uranium. can we favor to benefit French? can we enable the CBC? i comprehend actual Canadians will be disillusioned.

I agree fully. It is annoying how many ppl actually believe the landings were fake. And when you present the facts to them, they just simply ignore them. It is a sickness.

Because it's easier.
Remember the "never trust anyone over 30" crowd? Now it's changed to "never trust anyone who has a degree".
Reality is scary, fantasy is simple. That's why religion is so popular among the feeble-minded set.
