cognizant individuals are possibly more or less not definitely rejecting the essential constituent that in no way with any amount of uncertainty that the astronauts weren't entirely sober or undeniably do or do not know what the hazards inherent in consumption of stupefying intoxicates shouldn’t probably be,if that indeed wasn't intrinsic too what degree they aren't ....

what Sibrel is doing is trying to force all the astronauts to confess, and he is persistently calling them liars and other foul names..
have you added this to your scenario?? no why not??
you have consistently ignored the effect of continuous pestering of the astronauts.. after mitchell tells Sibrel to leave why does he stay for more than one and a half minutes trying to further provoke mitchell??

Sibrel did not say or do anything to justify a physical assault, or death threats. Mitchell is the true criminal here, beyond a doubt. Same as Aldrin was the criminal who punched Sibrel in the face, without any justification.
You keep trying to make excuses for their foul behavior, that it was Sibrel to blame, by provoking them, pestering them, and so on. You say the responses of the astronauts were quite justified, and they showed more patience and restraint than most people would show, in the same scenarios.....
That is absolute BS.

my thoughts on the ceiling at 475 km...?
Honestly havent red much about the "evidence" for the theory...perhaps its because it sounded ridiculous at first mention.
The notion alone would include a thousand other conspiracies...i just cant stretch that far. I know there are conspiracies...but this would take the cake. Russia, china, india..the US. Everybody who's anybody...must be in on it.
Its just too much man.
P.s. ill take a look at the "evidence" and get back to you
You say a hoax would be known by thousands of people, so it would be impossible for all those thousands of people to keep it a secret. In fact, few people would ever know the truth. Those at the top, and the people working on the hoax. That's not many people who know, and they are not about to tell the world it's a hoax.

watch all the way through the credits at the end. That is the absolute minimum number of people who would be "in on the hoax."

When you go to see the summer blockbuster of your choice this summer, watch all the way through the credits at the end. That is the absolute minimum number of people who would be "in on the hoax." Every last one of them would want to boast about the gig of a lifetime. Think about it.
For 46 years?
Nonsense, because thousands of people involved in developing the atomic bomb kept it a secret.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
The "pro-landing" material is on the table, and it is extraordinary.
originally posted by: FlyingFox
I don't see that coming from the anti-landing camp, just a lot of theory, speculation and empty assertions.
The only theory that seems logical is the popular astronauts were held back as trump cards, and unknown astronauts were actually sent...insuring a "success" one way or another, as far as the public end of things.

Sibrel had to gather all the equipment he brought into Mitchell's house, and to do that is under two minutes actually shows how quickly he responded to Mitchell's request that he leave his house!
At one point, Sibrel is bending down to a table, to collect something he had brought into the house. Mitchell suddenly kicks him (actually knees him) in the butt....

Your side replied - The lunar landers didn't disturb the lunar surface very much, because the descent engines had variable thrust controls, and the crews greatly decreased the thrust levels as they approached the lunar surface. And the thrust was dispersed over the entire area of the cone, too, further decreasing thrust.
You agreed with the hoax side that the Apollo images showed very little, if any, evidence of the surface being disturbed by the landers. You had no choice, but to agree.
I know your side agreed, because you came up with various 'reasons' why the landers hardly disturbed the lunar surface- due to minimal thrust, during the descent, and so on.
Then, new images came out. The images showed a disturbance of soil over a large area, at the exact spots where it is claimed the lunar landers descended on the lunar surface.
You immediately changed your claim - the landers DID disturb the lunar surface!
Again, you had no choice. Your entire argument had to change after those images came out.
Ignore the fact these images show lighter areas all over the place, nowhere near the lander. Ignore the fact these lighter areas are merely narrow 'strips', not at all roundish. Ignore the fact the 'strip' is longer in length than the actual area is in the recent images. Ignore everything else that doesn't fit in, as long as one thing fits in, you have evidence to support your claim.

Nonsense, because thousands of people involved in developing the atomic bomb kept it a secret.
But there were leaks, you know.
io9.com...
That an atomic weapon was being constructed was indeed a secret. Or supposed to have been.
The existence of atomic research being conducted was not a secret. It was a field of science
The 1500 'leaks' were investigated, and they found none of them to be leaks.
We are naturally much perturbed about it and Major [Peer] de Silva [Los Alamos security head] is preparing a memorandum to Lt Col [John] Lansdale [Manhattan Project security head] as to the source of the data collected by the reporter while vacationing in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. There are many rumors around town about this project since thousands of construction workers from this vicinity have been employed at Los Alamos, many of our personnel go into town for shopping and weekends, and Dr. Oppenheimer’s name is fairly well known in Santa Fe.
In discussing this with Major de Silva, he indicated that he felt the “leak” was not something we could have prevented, but that the reporter had doubtless picked up some local gossip, and put it together with information on Dr Oppenheimer in “Who’s Who.”
