Fascinating that he did all this research to prove what most of us already know.

Fantastically sad that he had to do it in the first place.

When I saw 'Collins' in the tags (and taking note of the subject matter), I assumed it was the same Collins who piloted the big command module around the moon during Apollo 11 while Aldrin and Armstrong were on the surface making all manner of history & shit.

But it was just a coincidence.

I like that he took a different route than the normal hoaxing/debunking videos.

He sounds a bit like what I would have thought the Red Letter Media guy normally sounds like...

Wonderful... and lest it's not obvious, debunking moon truthers is merely the example he's using to make a larger point. And that point is more easily made *because* he picked something we (mostly!) all agree on - that the moon shot was real, and moon truthers are freakin' nuts.

Not that there are any people like that today. Right )?

*quality

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by Dr_Q.

Very good! I note he's annoyed the loonies by disabling comments on the video

Apparently about 8% of Americans and a whopping 25% of Brits...

DID YOU SEE THAT?! HE GOT PAID BY NASA AT THE END!!!

Also, to contrast 1969 with present day - everything we see on live television TODAY, CAN be faked with current video tech.

Flaw, he assumes that the tech that was available to the public was the same tech available to the government.

I don't believe the moon landing was a hoax, but he does not touch on the subject at all that some believe the government has far superior technology than the public does.

2:02 - "It was a global dick-wagging contest on a scale never before seen in human history."

lol

Actually, they do touch on this at ~7:30:

"... but Nasa is special. Maybe they have a BIG disc recorder. [that can record longer than 10 minutes of slow-mo]"

I wonder if he's researched 9-11. It wasn't a video production conspiracy in this case, but I'd love to hear him present an argument in the same spirit.

Darkside of the Moon - Did Kubrick fake the moon landings? has been added as a related post - related requested by messenger.

No he didn't.

The problem with this thought anyway, people who have no fucking idea what they're talking about, chime in on subjects the only way they know how..."it's a secret!".

Calling something a secret isn't evidence, you might as well not be talking.

The moon is a spaceship. I often wonder what the people inside it are doing in there.

"Whoa." -K. Reeves

As far as postulating this cat's motivation for making this video??-This guy loves picking things apart and entertaining people was my first guess.

Sure, they didn't fake the moon landing, but they definitely faked the Death Star blowing up!

Ah WTF man, I tore up all my Death Star Inc. shares after I saw that... FUUUUU...

*controversy

Adding video to channels (Controversy) - requested by MrFisk.

I'm not sure why this is controversial.

The problem is that way lies paranoia. I'm pretty sure the U.S government at that time didn't have SSDs, multi-core processors, advanced video graphics etc etc.

If it weren't controversial, would he be making the video?

He clearly covered Nasa having superior tech. He said you can't have it both ways, in that many of the people claiming that the landing was fake say that Nasa did not have the tech to make a moon landing. So they either had sophisticated tech or they didn't, and if they did, why waste time faking a landing and risking the inevitable leaking of it to the public.

That is what these conspiracy theorists constantly forget, we can't keep anything secret.

To hear that, you just need to watch 'Half in the bag'
