Did NASA fake the Moon Landing?
As many of may readers know, to make ends meet I do science
shows at a local science museum. It is in one of these shows
("Earth, Moon, Sun") that I discuss the moon landing,
and often hear the comment "...but it was a hoax,
wasn't it?" When it comes from a primary student,
I often pause the show to flesh out some of their ideas (usually
picked up from the latest Fox special on conspiracies). However,
I have noticed an increading number of teachers uttering
the above line, which has disturbed me.
As a consequence, I am now launching the
Leyden's
Jar Moon Hoax Page to help provide some good sound thinking
to the issues raised by skeptics of the Apollo Missions. It
is split into two sections: The Conspiracy Theories,
and Apollo Mission details as stated by NASA. Then,
applying Ockham's Razor
you, dear reader, can decide for yourself which is the more
correct theory.
And this is where I need your help, dear
reader. I need sites, books and articles detailing arguments
for and against the Moon Hoax; I'll even reference
you if I use your submission.
Already, though, things may not bode well
for the conspiracy theoriests considering Ockham's thus far.
Consider which is easier to do: put three men on the top of
a tower of rocket fuel, light the blue touch paper and retire;
or construct an elaborate hoax to fool the entire world for
some thirty-odd years?
