STONE THEM! STONE THEM!!
Opps. Sorry 'bout that. Got carried away.
Actually, being a more or less peacful man, I voted to ignore them as I would some of our weirder and more obvious bible-shouters.
TO THE BASTINADO WITH THEM!!
Oops. Damn. Did again. I gotta get back on my meds.
Actually, this is yet another, small piece of evidence that 'intelligence' might not have a whole lot of long-term, evolutionary value.
Oh, to hell with it: BRAID THEM TO THE WHEEL!!
There. I feel much better now.

Actually, the Moon hoax proponents did a little favor for NASA, JPL and space missions in general. They made the subject interesting to the extent that all of the people who witnessed the Moon Program have come out of their hiding places to defend it. Of course, the moon hoaxers are probably more numerous (as is the case with such people when faced with any scientific subjects), but the science cheerleaders have woken up again.
Of course, the fact that such a program would have been important at all to the general public is a plus.
Think about it. When a person does not have a clue about science, his/her first notion is to ridicule any attempt to overcome nature's difficulties. By this time, most of the moon hoaxers have gone back to the casinos, etc., and have forgotten all about the moon program.
Or something like that...

How about hiring Linda Tripp to do a striptease for them?

Isn't that against the Geneva Convention?

LOL!
By the way, Hi, Xev. I see you're working your way through a bunch of the old topics. Cool! It's always interesting to see a new perspective on things that had petered out...

Hi.
And I don't know about the Geneva convention, but that is cruel. Unusual, well, strippers are hardly unusual.
Mwahaha!

You're right, but then, it does depend on whom is doing the stripping, no?

Come to think about it, the Moon Hoaxers have really *snookered* themselves. They will go throughout their smugly ignorant little lives without a clue about real science or about the marvelous things science has already accomplished in space. Most of them have paid too much attention to badly conceived science fiction without their first acquiring a basic understanding of the basic principles of science itself. For this reason, their own ignorance has set themselves up as scientific fools. It is really kind of sad. However, there are a lot of clueless little people out there who know zilch about anything other than popular culture. They will believe anything if it is worded appropriately in language they can understand.

We just got that Fox documentary here in Oz. Everything comes here about a year later than everything else.
I cannot believe that shit they put in there, however the scariest thing is that some people were talking about it at work as if it could really be a conspiracy run by NASA.
What is scarier is that these people were my managers that are supposed to have some sort of intelligence.

Point out that you all had your own guys manning one of the tracking stations. In fact - wasn't there a film about that let out a year ago or so.

Yeah, it was called "The Dish", there was a funny scene of them playing a game of cricket in the satellite dish.
I suppose the ball would always come back to you

That's the one. Well if it were a conspiracy seems Australia was involved in the coverup along with every ham radio operator and every government both friendly and hostile. Trip over to Bad Astronomy for an excellent essay debunking that video.
