My neighbor and good friend is bombarding my email with links that all claim MAN NEVER STOOD ON THE MOON.
He also hit me with something he read on FACEBOOK,(lol)claiming the WORLD IS FLAT!!!
I shot him down and convinced him that the earth is in fact round.
This cat is STUCK on all the anti man on the moon deal.
He swears that their is some sort of "Radiation Belt" at 350 miles above the earth,that no human or living plant,amoeba,mammal,or any life form can penetrate.
This guy is definitely reading WAY too much Facecrook BULLSHYZEN!!
I figure, if their is anyone who would know if the moon landing was faked,it'd be you...
(I personally sat on my living room floor and watched them land)
I KNOW we went there!!
What could you tell me,that I can convey to this guy that we really did it?

Want to get him to leave you alone? Get crazier than he is. Did you know that JFK was not killed? Just hurt real bad. And the Titanic did not sink. It was her damaged sister ship. They did it for the insurance, and it was not an iceberg- it was a torpedo. Yeah, man- really! Danish submarine.
Really should not have stepped into a private conversation, but I work with a guy like that- nuttier than squirrel poo. Will drive you bonkers if you let them.
Better yet just ignore the idiot.
Killer- I'm not Rocky, but if I could make an observation? This stuff goes on and on, despite the fact that with a good sized telescope (down at the State University size) you can SEE the part of the moonlander that was left there. You will NEVER convince him. That's how conspiracy theories work (Ah, but THAT'S what they WANT you to believe!)

No problem 11b, I welcome all to state their opinions here. While I wasn't on that lander,I believe I really did see it land on the moon,and dudes actually climb out and walk on the surface of the moon..
I have heard that even the foot prints are still visible.
I was gonna pop the "THE LANDER remains are visible from earth" thing but,I wasn't sure we had telescopes that could see it.
He Hit me with "WHY DIDN'T THE HUBBLE TAKE A PIC OF THE JUNK WE LEFT BEHIND".
I just told him "BECAUSE IT'S COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT IT'S THERE". No reason to revisit it.
Actually, the Earth is flat---When viewed from a dimension higher than 3. But I do believe that spaceships did make it to the moon; I recall the day- which was before the photoshop technology was even heard of to be able to doctor the scenes (remember, it happened in 1969).
As stated above.I watched it all on LIVE TV when I was 8 yo.
Also,the f'n earth ain't FLAT.[;)]
my dad and I would argue on several subjects some of which your bring up ( my dad passed 10 years + ago and I miss him and wish I could still have talks with him )
but he was very old fashion in his beliefs not that it matters but he never went to school told me he went one day did not like it that was it ,
I think when he passed he still held his thoughts on the subjects just gave in to arguing with me on it [B)]
he told me the bible had something about a angle in the 4 corners of the earth so it could not be round had to be flat to have 4 corners .
I am sure as a kid this was passed on at some time to him ,
also we were never meant to leave the earth and could never leave the sky . all the moon stuff was just BS made up by the government .
he had more common sense than the majority of people I have met and could build about anything in wood ( he was a carpenter)
if for one reason I could live more than one life time it would be to see what wonders man kind find and develop in the years to come if we do not manage to destroy what we have [V]
the thought of the endless universe and space has kept me awake many night over my live time in amazement and wonder
Well, of course they landed on the moon. Six times, in fact. There's no way to convince the idiots who deny it because they don't want to believe it.
Just tell your crazy neighbor that he shouldn't bother trying to talk to you, because YOU don't exist. He's only imagining you.
BTW, I have met several of the guys who walked on the moon. Amazing guys. They told me what it was like to "fly" those things. Talking with them pilot to pilot would convince anyone.
Finally, I'm honored that you'd think me expert enough to answer you.
..I used to have a grumpy old customer that blamed every weather swing on "those spaceships they keep shooting up". He knew nothing about chem-trails, just "spaceships". Then, there was the "underground airport" that's under the farmland..(enter eerie music here)
But it actually due to the Illuminati. They have a secret base on the moon. The Nazis helped them set it up. Hitler is there- the low gravity has prolonged his life....

As soon as I heard his claim,I thought of you."The voice of NASA" for so many years.
If I heard you talk,I bet I would instantly recognize your voice.
The whole NASA,space race thing was fascinating to me,even as an 8 yo. boy!!
I do something like 15 voices, from little kid to pirate to computer to growling bear. But my NASA voice is my FM radio one: half an octave lower than usual, slightly slower pace, and careful enunciation.
You'd have a hoot listening to me, for sure.
U probably don't realize it but,you sir are a kind of hero to me,and,i'm sure many others that frequent these forums...
I mean cummon,who can say they have an "internet buddy" that was the voice of NASA for nearly a lifetime??
Wisconsin.. I landed in Wisconsin and found cheese.
Leave Wisconsin out of this....lol
laser reflectors on the moon for range finding tests
On three of the Apollo landings, 11, 14 & 15, Laser Light Reflectors were left behind for experiments from observatories around the world. These were placed on the moon by hand and aligned with the earth in the sky. As the moon is in a captured rotation, the earth doesn't move in the moon's sky. Lasers are fired toward the three sites on the moon and a reflection is made back to the telescope every time. If you aim the laser at any other part of the moon, nothing comes back. The reflection is too weak or even non-existant to record a reflection. Early attempts at gaining a reflection in 1969 didn't work well as the laser wasn't powerful enough. It was upgraded and the results flooded in.
Unfortunately, facts and logic will rarely work with conspiracists. Their position is that either you are too gullible to recognize their version of the "truth", or you are part of conspiracy. [;)][:D]
