- Dinosaurs were real btw.marychain
- you don't know dinosaurs were real, have you actually dated the bones yourself?monospaced
- Dude, have you ever 'dated the bone'?detritus
- No... but I banged a Lotta old bitches...aye ohhhh!marychain

The only reason I brought up the fact that you dont know anything about the moon you just believe what you're told, mono, is not because I necessarily believe anything different to you about the moon.
I bring it up because I think it's strange when people like yourself arrogantly rubbish off someone else's thoughts as if you know better, when really you have know way of knowing yourself.

;-)set - I'm arrogantly rubbishing the idea that the moon isn't just rock and dirt... sorry if that's hard to understandmonospaced
- You don't know that.set
- listen to mono he knows via astral projection...yurimon
- what else would it be made of?monospaced
- Not the pointset
- I was taught that the moon is rock, so it must be cause the education system cant be wrong.yurimon
- or maybe it's just a coverup because it's really cheese and would disrupt our cheese markets on earthmonospaced

The International Space Station is about 200 miles from the Earth. The moon is approximately 200,000 miles from the Earth. By comparison, the closest planet Venus is about 25 million miles away at its closest point, and 160 million miles at its furthest point.

Images and radio and sensor readings are all pretty the same thing — analyses of the electromagnetic spectrum. Some fire lasers, some ping radio long-waves, some fire microwaves or x-rays. It's all the same shit.
If you trust a photo from a scientific source, you should as equally trust a radio reading from same.
If you trust neither, you'll have to get busy building an interplanetary launch system and go check yourself.

We know a shitload about the moon. GRAIL worked on this for the last few years. http://www.nasa.gov/mission_page…

- nasa is a filter...yurimon
- it's also a huge space agency that is dedicated to figuring this shit outmonospaced

The difference between knowing and believing?
- This is still a belief. It is an unproven theory and therefore belief.Morning_star
- but a belief based on scientific knowledge is more valid than mythological hunchesmonospaced
- Why? Validity has nothing to do with it. The inherent truth lessons contained in a myth (Greek myths, Sumerian myths, Navaho myths, bible myths) are arguably far more useful to humans than complex scientific speculation with no practical value. Until it's understood, proven and applied as a real world solution it is less valuable to the world than the myths of Gilgamesh.Morning_star

Call me crazy, but I betcha' the sun will rise in the east and fall in the west tomorrow. It is just something I believe.

I bet I'm the only one here who remembers it happening. I was 6 and my parents woke me up. TV was nice but I wanted to look up at the sky. My thinking was the people would be too small but I might be able to see the lunar module or maybe the flag. (I didn't.)

To be fair mono all you know about the moon is
what you can see at night. Everything else is faith.- sad statement is sad.utopian
- I hope you're being sarcastic set.monospaced
- You don't personally know anything at all about it other than what you yourself can observe.set
- What is so terrible about admitting that?set
- I can admit I didn't run the studies myself, but I certainly know a lot more about it than what I see at night.monospaced
- with your logic, you don't know anything about the gaza bombing because you can't see itmonospaced
- You don't know it at all, you believe it. Big difference.set
- Well I don't but it's logical to believe that all the photos and videos aren't fakeset
- Proof is proof. Instruments have given us tons of info. Just because I didn't gather it doesn't make it truemonospaced
- You tell him Yuri...utopian
- and all that evidence is readily available, and I take it for truth, like you believe video newsmonospaced
- Mono when you get to the moon and do the studies hola back yoyurimon
- Tell him Yuriutopian
- Yes but you're still confusing belief with knowing.set
- but we do KNOW a lot about the moon, I don't just believe it, we have samples and lots of infomonospaced
- we have rocks from the moon, we have instruments measuring its chemical makeupmonospaced
- if you think I only BELIVE This and that it's not true because I didn't measure it myself, that's just weirdmonospaced
- You don't know that you believe what you've been told. Why is that so hard for you to understand? Or admitset

Putting the conspiracies aside, there's probably more than just sandy dunes and craters.
- probably? why do you say that... how probable? based on what evidence?monospaced
- we've had telescopes and cameras on it for years, we have tons of instruments pointed at itmonospaced
- millenia evenmonospaced
- all instruments indicate it's a standard dense rock with no more volcanic activitymonospaced
- we even have rovers there confirming it for over a decademonospaced
- oops, that's mars :)monospaced
- Came back from lunch, no I don't have evidence of anything, just hoping for something cool :)Maaku

"I don't think [the moon is] just a huge round rock." – Maaku
Really? Why not?

Actually, Utopian - it was the British and Australian science communities that did much of the tracking and relaying of communications during the Apollo missions, aiding their American counterparts and in the process confirming through radio wave data the reality and existence of these missions.
Of course, it wouldn't've even crossed their minds that they should have to verify any shift in wavelengths that would confirm the veracity of the American enterprise.. that would've been what the Soviets were up to...
Ok, so it's not a high-res photo of the moon landing site as such, but it's as good as where evidence is concerned.

2 simple questions.
I just want to know why they haven't been back, I don't think it's just a huge round rock.
And why the fuck are pictures so shitty, always black and white with low resolution.
- 1 - no need, political or scientific. 2 - which pics? No they're not.detritus
- *hopefully* we'll see a big resurgence in human missions to the moon - ther's just been other focuses for the past 40 yearsdetritus
- years (sadly and perhaps misguidedly!)detritus
- It would probably help if you watched audience response to later moon landings - The people stopped caring.detritus
- oh well :(Maaku
- you don't believe it's just a huge round rock? really?monospaced
- < Just assuming there's more than jus dirt there.Maaku
- what, like cheese? lol... sorry, but we know a shitload about the moon and we know what it's made ofmonospaced
