There are over a million engineers employed in the US as of 2009, with more in training. Those "thousands" (1,500) of architects and engineers in AE911Truth represent, collectively, only 0.1% of their professions in the US alone. Except that they include things like software engineers, so the numbers go even farther up. And more when you include the global numbers. Don't make me include the numbers of firemen, paramedics, and cops, as this will only worsen your argument.

Stop projecting. I use JREF, and there's a guy who says he used to be a Truther. And I've actually checked the archives, and he was. Here's a hoax believer who changed his mind, just to bring this back on topic.
And neither those that defend the "official" 9/11 story on forums, etc. People take sides and for whatever reasons will go down with the ship defending the side they are on.
To you. Suspect to you. And you are not a scientist. You're not a dietician. You're not a photographer. You're not an engineer. You're not an astronomer. You don't even have very good grammar. Your opinion, and those of your ilk, is the overwhelming minority, contradicted by anyone who actually knows what they're talking about.
If NASA can prove, via third party evidence, or by pointing a telescope to the moon for anyone to be able to see the LM and Rover, etc, on the moon. Then I would say the moon landings were real. Till that day, I'll stay skeptical because the evidence that NASA has provided is suspect at best.
So you have an Argument from Ignorance.

From time to time some NASA cheerleaders will try to make the argument that goes like this:
"thousands of people were involved with Apollo program..."
"if the Apollo moon landing were a hoax somebody would have blown the whistle..."
"if the Apollo moon landing were a hoax the Russians would have spilled the beans..."
Now I give you a highly credible source which contradicts and cancels that argument.

No, I'm paraphrasing FoosM. He argued that the astronaut's would not have have pooped in bags, or sat in their own mess for extended periods.
"POOP" is not a valid argument against Jarrah White videos!
000063 is losing credibility because he is quoting the "poop" from a fellow NASA cheerleader. That is not a debate, it's "poop" slinging at it's best.
And I'm sure the landings were genuine.
I'm pretty sure NASA faked the moon landings with the help of Hollywood and with the coordination of a few key insiders (CIA Langley, ex-Nazis at NASA and American neo-Nazi power mongers, i.e., LBJ and RMN).
In other words, you're arguing that because one deception was made, that another, much, much more complex deception could've been successfully planned, initiated, and pulled off,
In the historical context of 1964 we can already see that USA citizenry were EASILY duped by the Gulf of Tonkin " gunboat attack" and this resulted in more than 50,000 servicemen deaths in Viet Nam over the span of 10 years.
That has absolutely no relevance to proving whether the landings were faked or not. At the very best, it merely speaks to motive.
If YOU (000063 and MacTheKnife) can't understand the 1960's as a decade of turmoil and upheaval
Why? You've not found any of the other data acceptable. Why, if this one were produced, would you not pick over it for "anomalies" and declare it faked?
then you are perhaps NOT QUALIFIED to comment on the Apollo program, the Cold War, Nixon, or the subsequent loss of.... the original Apollo tapes which contained the telemetry data which, IF we had this data TODAY, this valuable data could conceivably prove or disprove the reality of Apollo moon landings once and for all.
I said already, that was FoosM, whom you apparently share a level of reading comprehension skills. Speaking of skills, let's look at his shadow analysis;
Of course the NASA cheerleaders will come up with another "poop" argument. I'm pretty sure of that, too.

Consider the implications of your argument. Thousands of engineers, scientists and politicians are tacitly accusing the government of slaughtering its own people on 9/11, yet there are no reprisals. Meanwhile, no engineer, scientist or politician (save Fidel Castro, Chavez, Ahmadinajad and the usual suspects) seem to find anything wrong with the moon landings. What does that tell you?

the MSM has reported what it has been told - in this part of the world, at least, reports from Libya have almost always been prefaced with "Rebel sources say...", and often include "no independant verification couldbe obtained" or words to that effect.

Also, the amount of people who do or do not believe in a given theory does not confer legitimacy.

Maybe you need a million people to tell you something is wrong when its wrong. But I dont.
When the top demolitions expert says a building is being imploded by bombs. How many more people do you need to verify his observations to you own observations? If takes more than a thousand, you probably have to consider yourself officially brainwashed.
So now you know what I do for a living? No wonder you believe in moon landings. LOL.

Nothing to see here, folks, move along.
The federal government can't keep small secrets from the public most of the time. For someone to actually believe that the United States of America "Governement" could trick or fool 99.99 % of the planet is insane. So that gives you an idea of the mentality quacks who believe that the Apollo landings were all made up & a Hollywood movie trick!

This debate is amazing how far its gotten. There's an easy way to solve this, just have amateur astronomers find the moon landings through expensive telescopes (probably not possible), and end the debate. If they left the things up there, they will exist and it did happen. However, if it is wrapped in a lot of stuff in order to elude people, its sort of the 'you went to that sort of lengths, really? oookkk'
Now astronomers hope to kill off the conspiracy theory once and for all by
using the Very Large Telescope (VLT) - by far the most powerful telescope in
the world - to spot the Apollo lunar landers.
Operated by European astronomers in the Chilean Andes, the VLT consists of
four mirrors 27ft across linked by optical fibres. It can see a single human
hair at a distance of 10 miles.
Trained on the Moon, such astonishing resolution should enable it to see the
base of one or more of the six lunar modules which Nasa insists landed on the
Moon between 1969 and 1972. Any images of the modules would be the first not
to have been taken from space by Nasa.
Dr Richard West, an astronomer at the VLT, confirmed that his team was aiming
to achieve "a high-resolution image of one of the Apollo landing sites".
The first attempt to spot the spacecraft will be made using only one of the
VLT's four telescope mirrors, which are fitted with special "adaptive optics"
to cancel the distorting effect of the Earth's atmosphere. A trial run of the
equipment this summer produced the sharpest image of the Moon taken from the
Earth, showing details 400ft across from a distance of 238,000 miles.
The £45m lander was scheduled to put down in a near-equatorial region of the planet known as Isidis Planitia. But despite many attempts to locate it - using overflying spacecraft and Earth-based telescopes - no sign of it, not even any wreckage, has been detected.
(I have modified the order of the statements)
Professor Pillinger accepts the sceptics will say Beagle 2 is too small to be seen from space... Now, he says, specially processed pictures from the camera on the US space agency's (Nasa) Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft show that it came down in a crater close to the planned landing site.
"There is a lot of disturbance in this crater, particularly a big patch on the north crater wall which we think is the primary impact site," Professor Pillinger explains.
"There are then other features around the crater consistent with the airbags bouncing around and finally falling down into the middle. Then, when you cut the lace, the airbags fall apart giving three very symmetrical triangles."
Four roughly circular features to the right of the "airbags" could conceivably be Beagle's unfolded solar panels.
Professor Pillinger claims the images show Beagle 2 came very close to being the first spacecraft to mount a concerted search for life on the Martian surface.
During normal operating conditions, the smallest objects that can be resolved on the martian surface in these images are about 4 to 5 meters (13 to 16 feet) across. With the adjusted-rotation technique, called "compensated pitch and roll targeted observation," objects as small as 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) can be seen in images from the same camera. Resolution capability of 1.4 meters (4.6 feet) per pixel is improved to one-half meter (1.6 feet) per pixel. Because the maneuvers are complex and the amount of data that can be acquired is limited, most images from the camera are still taken without using that technique.

Keep posting that photo, someday you will understand.
As a matter of fact, just print it, stick it on your fridge, and/or above your bed so you can stare at it for hours on end. At some point the subconscious will kick in and give your conscious a clue. You'll thank me later!
Funny mentality these hb's have. I have not seen a single thread of solid evidence against the moon landing vs. a mountain to support it.
