atheists and "conspiracy" theories

Yes, apparently, I missed the episode of Mythbusters that debunked the moon landing conspiracy. Had me going, but I can't explain the reflectors, which I doubt they would have sent up with anything else. It would be too tough, but I did read somewhere that they were 20 miles from the landing sites. Who knows, there seems to be an answer for everything.

Of course who's going to walk 20 miles to put up reflectors, but I don't know if that is true either.

And the answer in this case is, I'm afraid, that men walked on the surface of the Moon.

I didn't actually mention the Mythbusters episode but I would thoroughly recommend it as a sort of primer. There's so much more they could have gone into if they'd had the time to cover it properly, at least a couple of series' worth.

Even if you were convinced of a cover-up, in this particular case, with all that would have been involved in faking the landings, including the reflectors, the samples, the photos, the video footage, the thousands of independent astronomers, amateur and professional, of all nations (not all of whom were friendly), all those thousands of witnesses working for NASA directly and for private contractors actually building the spacecraft, all of whom would have to be silenced - honestly, the least implausible scenario has to be that we went to the Moon.
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.'
