40 years ago Buzz Aldrin was the second man to step foot on The Moon. Stupid shit here calls him a liar. Smart move, pal!

"... you're a coward and a liar and a- *oommph*"

:rofl:

1. Anybody know who the moron conspiracy nutter was?
Aldrin had to reach up to clock him, and knocked him for a loop.

Buzz Aldrin Punches Moon-landing Conspiracy Theorist

Bart Sibrel, a conspiracy theorist who believes that NASA faked the moon landing, confronted retired astronaut Buzz Aldrin on September 9, 2002.
"You're a coward," he exclaimed, "and a liar, ..."

At that point, Aldrin (age 72) landed a spirited punch to Sibrel's jaw.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office has declined to file charges.

9. What a jackass.
What a waste of oxygen. You have to be as moronic as they come to spend your time going around stalking former astronauts trying to prove the moon landing was a fake.

11. Wasn't he the guy who published a DVD with the Apollo 11 press conference ?

I never could figure out why Neil looked like he had swallowed a golf ball.

12. There was a story about him in the local paper
He feels he's being "singled out" and "oppressed" and "abused"... Because he questions the moon landing.

Yeah. He thinks that Buzz punched him for having a different opinion.

Not because he'd been hounding Armstrong for over a month and was insulting him to his face in public

3. Have you seen the movie "Capricorn One"?
After 8 years of Bush/Cheney's huge deceptions, anything seems possible.

4. The fact that you know
The fact that you know about the deceptions, speaks directly to the absurdity of what this guy is claiming. The Soviets were watching CLOSELY. Amateurs where monitoring the transmissions independently of government. There were tracking stations around the world that followed the flight there and back. They didn't have the capacity at the time to full automate the entire flight. There HAD to be a crew on board. Any attempt to falsify the plot would have involved way too many actors, and would have easily been detected by other nations. There would have been literally hundreds of "Downing Street Memos" floating around.

8. Yes, and it was movie, that's all.
Just like Oliver Stone's JFK was a movie, and that's all.

If Apollo 11 didn't land men on the moon, then how did the laser ranging retroreflector get there?

6. One of my favorite pieces of video
that loser deserved to be humiliated by Aldrin and I'm glad he was. Too bad he wasn't able to knock him down but that oommph still makes me laugh.
