Ontarian1981   10 #337 Posted March 6, 2018 indeed, theres a long standing video out there of a camera expert who states in that era it wouldve been technically harder and more expensive to fake it than to actually go  Exactly right, even Hollywood did not have the technology to do all those visuals that we all saw live back in 1969.

Guest makapaka   #338 Posted March 6, 2018 I don’t believe in the conspiracies really.  The only thing I’ve ever considered was the available technology- I’m amazed that if we could get there 50 years ago that we’re not there every week now.

phil752 Â Â 10 #345 Posted March 7, 2018 Around 400,000 people worked on getting Apollo 11 to the moon, yet not one of them has come forward to prove it was fake. If they did they would make a fortune. Â Even the Russians agree it happened. Â Funny that.

Top Cats Hat   10 #348 Posted March 7, 2018 nevertheless, the alternative storylines are very compelling.  The only alternative narrative which holds any kind of water is that elements within the US government knew in advance of the attack plans and allowed it to go ahead for whatever reason.  Everything else is just crazy talk.
