You can look into it yourself. Every 'unanswered' question about the moon landing has been answered a dozen times by highly qualified people.

I agree - I would also pay good money to have Buzz Aldrin punch you in the face. Not that I'm afraid, mind you - I'll take a belt round the cake-hole from Stephen Hawking ANY day.

But, in actuality, I'd like to see the rest of that video and what led up to it.

The receiver of the smack in the mouth is Bart Sibrel, cab driver, conspiracy theorist and <ahem> "investigative journalist", who believes that all six Lunar landings were faked. His MO is to follow the astronauts around, usually shoving a bible in their faces and getting them to swear on it, and provoking them to retaliate so he can 'expose' them. In the above case, Sibrel had been following Aldrin and his granddaughter (iirc) around allthat afternoon, calling him a liar to his face and being a nuisance. Buzz asked him repeatedly to go away and leave them alone; Sibrel ignored him. He deserved everything he got - I'd have done the same and I've never been to the Moon. Well, except in the space sim Orbiter.
Wow, I'm impressed that you know (or have researched) about a dude who got punched in the face 10 years ago.

Astronomy and related space stuff is a particular interest of mine. I became aware of Sibrel and all the idiotic conspiracy machine from the Moonbase Clavius site several years ago.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Shit, I barely remember details from viral videos from 10 months ago, much less 10 years ago.

I've had an encounter with someone from the anti gravity crowd recently. That's a whole nother can of conspiracy theory crazy, although moon hoax, ufos and antigravity seems to be a continuum

In this case I assume you mean those who don't 'believe' in gravity? Not the legitimate "anti gravity" crowd who are trying to exploit/overcome the limitations of gravity?
