OT: Moon Landing

I think he just got it to three and declared that mystery solved. Life is much more interesting when you don’t let easily accessible facts get in the way.
This man won a debate with a know-nothing podcaster though, so that’s pretty compelling. I mean, he was able to shut down the probing questions and counter-arguments of a pillar of the under-educated/misinformed community.
Sorry dude. Case closed.
Maybe a bit of both?
I tend to lean towards he's kind of crazy. Because I can't imagine he's making a killing off some big grift here.
LOL.
In all seriousness, this is how we become dumber as a country. So many people put faith in what people like Rogan propagates on his show. It's mindnumbing.
The moon landing being fake is going to significantly delay timelines for the development of the stadium Death Star.
We certainly love our game show hosts in this country.
not saying i believe, only that it raises some interesting questions.
Newell is pretty sharp. I don't think he's saying that the landing was faked; just that it's interesting how the case could be made that it was (all the legit counters offered in this thread notwithstanding).
It seems like an open-minded observation to me (somebody who is sure that the landing was not faked).

It raises ZERO interesting questions. It's a wackadoodle throwing up bizarre theories that have been refuted by experts multiple times over. He lies about things, he misunderstands concepts to prove his points, etc.
Huh?
If all his stuff can be refuted by experts and with basic research, I am not sure how one can find value in this dude spewing falsities. I guess I don't understand how some crackpot spewing lies is interesting or that the fact he can create a "case" for why the moon landing was fake is interesting.
That's cool. I am a huge fan of debate and critical thinking, and do find it interesting that somebody can make a logical step-wise case (easily refuted or not) for something that's ridiculous.
Disclaimer: I didn't listen to this particular segment; I just trust Newell's judgment...
Debate is fun, but it is a waste of time to argue against simple facts. No thanks!
First of all, Newell has gone from “he seems pretty smart” to “he might not be that smart” with this thread for me
Regardless, a guy you think is smart heard a guy who is not intelligent interview a conspiracy theorist and he was impressed. And if he’s impressed that’s good enough for you.
That is what’s wrong with America
Are you new here? This board argues against simple facts all day long
Wow, I used to be a big fan of yours, too, Scarlet. I even saved a response of yours to a post because I thought it was so pithy. Yikes...First of all, Newell has gone from “he seems pretty smart” to “he might not be that smart” with this thread for me

I'm not sure if you have ever attended (or care about) a formal debate. But in such a contest, it's entirely possible to win one while arguing for something that is completely wrong and ridiculous. It's the skill of debating that I am referring to, and find interesting, but apparently I am not conveying that well.
At least I am finding out who my friends are here, ha ha...

I can appreciate that but nevertheless, the arguments the guy makes does make me wonder. Anyone calling Joe Rogan dumb has never listened to his show, he's actually quite smart.
Putting dumb and smart aside, more than anything else he’s curious about things. That’s what I enjoy about his show. Like anything else there episodes I can take or leave. But you can absolutely learn a lot from listening.
The level of stupidity has reached a new low. And many on here that don’t agree on a lot of things have finally found common ground in agreeing on how stupid this conspiracy theory is.
No issue with Joe Rogan and his show. However, to even wonder about a simple fact is next level dumb. Like thinking a grown man named Bob becomes a real girl names Bobbie just because he put on a dress. That level dumb.
I suppose. Or, is it possible you missed the point Newell was trying to convey? Or, here's another one, could the entire thread be designed just to solicit your exact post making you the mark? Guy named Al showed how easy that is.
Easy to be an internet brainiac, but more often than not, those that have strong absolute opinions are the wrong ones.
I can't believe Neil himself didn't correct the guy on the "70's moon landing"
This is a great comment on how message boards work in general...
ETA: When posting anything, on has to remember that to many, the post is a sledgehammer rather than a scalpel. There ain't no nuance on a message board.
Ha ha, Newell made it 100% clear that he believes the moon landing was not faked, but yet he's being slammed as if he said it was...

Some people have none. Some others suspend it because there are things that they're just aching to believe...no matter how nonsensical.
There are very few things KBEE and I agree on. Actually smoking a little weed is probably the only thing we agree on.^^^^^ @newell138 - even the board pothead is making fun of you.
what makes you think it is harder today?
we have totally other goals today
I bet you think Tang and astronaut ice cream do not exist as well.
The real version of this episode is on the MAX app for you streamers with access. And HBO cable subscription gets you access iirc.

Congratulations. At least you got one thing right.
+1
It is easier today to get to the moon from a technology POV. However, cost and gov'ment regulations makes it much more complex and costly.
Doubt it is more costly. SpaceX baby! Proportionately speaking.. NASA moon efforts cost a FORTUNE way back when.
