Its a difficult one as you feel like a nut for not believing but the evidence is v.compelling. And I'm not talking about the debunked stuff, I am talking about:
1. No blast crater below lander
2. Radiation in space - astonaughts had no ill effects with little protection
3. Camera film would not have withstood radiation
4. We haven't gone back
5. Some of the photos do seem too good to be true
6. Anomalies in reflections of visors and in the sky when enhanced in photoshop
7. US had all the motives to fake it.
etc.

See, your point #7 is the biggest reason we can even just assume that the landings werereal. The Soviet Union had EVERY reason to discredit the American triumph... do you think they'd've let the opportunity to show up the Imperial Yankee Devil slip?
Points 1–6 are the result of the weirdly incompatible human mix of scientific arrogance and ignorance — we at once think we know everything, and then blithely ignore evidence that tells us otherwise.
The reason the Moon Landings are so hard to appreciate is ... because the level of achievement is so beyond most individual's capacity to understand it (how many thousands... tens of thousands.. HUNDREDS of thousands of people were involved in the space programme back then?)

Dunno, for me it's one of those really retarded assertions that wholly undermines all the things our civilisation can be great at and highlights all the things we're shit at (well, great at - just shit for being).. suspicious, ignorant, irrationally, jumpy and hysterical, mistrusting,
What a waste of energy.

I'd punch any asshole chasing me with a bible and asking me to swear on it.
- This.Continuity
- If you went all the way to the moon and some cunt was denying it you wouldn't simply say you did to shut him up? Weird.set
- do you really believe that idiot would stop harassing him by doing that?ernexbcn
- It most certainly fuelled him by not, and gives conspiracy theorists another reason to believe it. Why not do it?set

I love the high res pictures available online of all the apollo missions http://www.apolloarchive.com/apo…
...and if they weren't up there, how do they know about the reptilian lunar bases and ancient structures up there?

Because we all know that the USA government has never lied on anything and always tell the truth on everything everytime. US government have no secrets and everything that comes out of them is transparent, pure and real.
yo!

The Apollo program on 2008 dollars would have been 98 billion dollars.
I'd say they definitely went there, for many reasons including the Cold War. But believe whatever you want to believe. Some people even believe AIDS doesn't exist!

What I find hilarious is that most of the conspiracy assholes that don't believe the Moon landing believe the US government somehow can provoke earthquakes or natural disasters anywhere on earth using HAARP.
The world is filled with idiots and internet isn't even helping because it's so easy to spread bullshit now.

China is supposed to go on Moon soon. We will see at that moment if the American flag is still there :)
- benfal990
But like i've said, US government have a long history of lies. So it's easy to be a conspirationist towards them. y'know.

Just look at this thing, its first flight was in 1964, it looks from another planet if you consider the tech involved

The aeronautics and aerospace industry was booming back then, both the Soviet Union and the US were pouring money like crazy into that. I don't have any issues believing the US astronauts set foot on the Moon.
- batman was in invented in 1939 though...you clearly can see the influence there.uan
