Were you not paying attention in physics class the day they explained the difference between mass and weight? As @Payback pointed out the energy required to overcome inertia is the same no matter what the gravity, low gravity simply allows you to "spread the duration" of the force like a fulcrum.

I.e. it would be easier than on earth but you still have to apply enough force to move 2-300kg of mass, you just have the option of doing so less rapidly (making it easier but not easy).

Even if this were not the case your argument still makes no sense. If it was indeed faked then surely they were on wires anyway? How else are you proposing they replicated the effects of low gravity?

The fact your comment got 3 likes is rather depressing. As someone who makes researching conspiracy theories a borderline obsessive hobby I can say with some confidence that the whole faked moon landing thing is about the most debunk-able one ever conceived. It is an insult to the very term "conspiracy theory" and helps give the rest of us a bad name .

Radiation belt? = 7 mins of expertly calculated exposure, there is a 1000ish page NASA manual on how they did this.

Cameras? = they had about 20 DIFFERENT cameras & much like anyone else would the crappy poorly framed or exposed shots weren't used for publicity

Multiple light sources? = The surface of the moon is both highly reflective and uneven. (mythbusters did the shit out of that one)

Most complicated machine ever built? = Actually launched, several times, to the freaking moon and back!

Waving flag? = Funny how every single shot of the flag waving is when someone is holding/touching it eh? (& what kind of retard leaves evidence of wind in the most expensive coverup of all time?)

The Russian space programme? = They just turned a blind eye to their arch rivals lauding it over them? They were in on it? You have to get really paranoid before that one starts to make any sense whatsoever.

etc. etc. etc.

I have a lot of time for conspiracy theories and I'm happy to speculate with the best of them but I've yet to find a single good argument for the landing not happening. I can maybe work with the possibility that some things were omitted/covered up (Monoliths etc.) because this could not be conclusively refuted by empirical facts. Suggesting that it never happened however is so easy to disprove it blows my mind that people still have time for the idea.

For your own sake try looking into the opposing arguments. There are plenty people with PHD's and direct experience who are happy to take you through the counters to all this stuff. And they back it up with actual evidence and experiments rather than conjecture and selective information. Your mind will thank you for it

Waving flag next to unaffected, vertically rising smoke

Looks pretty. Frustum's come a long way.

USA! USA! USA! USA!

Beat chest. Wave flag.

Go bankrupt due to shitty health insurance.

I don't suppose you have any more articulate objections to offer?

He addressed that point. He's not saying people don't like America, he's saying the vast majority do it from their couch, or as you describe it, celebrating in the streets. They're not the ones conducting terrorism, and the fact that they wave flags doesn't put the US in danger.

Oh, so as long as it's not a problem for America, who cares.
All those 'arm-chair' jihadists are providing enormous sums of money to recruit, train and arm real jihadists in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and on. Sure 99.9% of all their attacks are on other muslims within those countries. I still call that a problem. I find it intellectually insulting to reject it as a concern because it's not Americans that are dying, and in the same breath decry opposing those murderers as a racist endeavor.


Eh whatever...fuck it.

This is a great song. I sifted the official music vid awhile back -

- but I'm not sure if this qualifies as a dupe.

I'm goiing to give the full version a shot...

K'NAAN "Waving Flag" -Celebration mix- Dir: NABIL from nabil elderkin on Vimeo.

I'm even more surprised that no one has sifted the awesome original video: K'Naan - Waving Flag.
If you know some Japanese maybe someone can get an embed out of this...

You're telling me. I spent 4 power points on it.>> ^geo321:

I'm surprised this video didn't get more love.

Check it out.

why did he jiggle the tri color strip? a waving flag? the guy at the end looks like he's experiencing a dream come true.

"OhGawdDamnit JimBob this unrestricted Free Marmot Crapitalizm has led Amerikkka to the brink of COLLAPSE and forced the guvermint to Nationalize them crimnal corporations just like them nasty commie Socialist Euros did. Turns out they wuz right all along!!! I warned you this wud happin!!! Hell next thang u no we'll hav sum negro as prezident!!!"


Ha, you think we actually have free market capitalizm at the heart of the American? Not anymore, maybe at one time. But not in 80 years or so.
