Did we really land on the moon in '69?

[bozo]

Just recently I read that there is more computer stuff in today's washing machines than was in the computers controlling the moon shot. Is it credible that such basic computer power was sufficient?
In the same programme it was admitted that as the eagle was landing, a malfunction led the astronauts to believe the eagle was travelling well faster than their speedo was indicating, yet they still managed to land softly, on suitable ground, in the moon landscape!

You want me to address your "niggling doubts?" Well I'm not a scientist, I don't have that level of detailed knowledge on what goes into landing on the moon. Doesn't matter anyway, the doubts aren't worth addressing.

Doubts don't win over evidence. And I also know how this logical game is played with conspiracy theories. I used to be a 9/11 truther until logic whapped me upside the head.

It's all about seeding doubt without providing any evidence to back up your claims. "Steel Buildings have never collapsed from a fire, jet fuel can't burn hot enough to melt steel." But then when you actually take the time and dig deeper, the science is there. The fire didn't have to melt steal, it weakened it and then gravity played it's part. It's all about looking at "This can't be true, or that can't be true" without looking at what the evidence is and what is true.

If you have serious questions then go investigate them. Find out what the science is. The questions you raised are just that, Questions. And what you "read somewhere" is not good enough. These questions don't bother me in the slightest because what I do know of the lunar landing is sufficient for me to accept and I find it highly improbably to the point of absurdity for it to be a conspiracy.

And you wonder why people are acting so negatively? That's because the moon hoax conspiracy is laughable. It's bad science and bad logic and I have no respect for that. It's in the same boat with holocaust deniers, and creationists. They're ridiculous ideas and by definition they should be ridiculed and not given the hint of legitimacy.

I'm not accusing anybody of acting negatively. I just have doubts, ok?

Like I say, I swing both ways on this. What evidence you ask? Well not evidence more niggling doubt.
For example, given the timing, at the height of the cold war and with USA and USSR racing to be first on the moon, is it beyond the possible that the Americains could have staged it?

Do you really think the Soviets didn't track the American vessel to the moon?

If there was even a miniscule hint that it hadn't really been done, Russia would have been shouting about it. Quite loudly.

You may well be right but don't you equally think ex-soviets would have rushed to either debunk or support the conspiracy theorists? Maybe they have, I don't know. I still have my doubts that I could go to the moon and back in a Zanussi!
