What government would I be paying then? Do you even know?
Let's talk about what would constitute proof in a world where literally anything presented is labelled as fake by those who called themselves "conspiracy theorists":
1) Photos? No good, they can be faked. Good quality photos are too good to be true, and bad quality photos are obviously clear fakes because NASA has the tech to do better
2) Video? No good, see above, same rules apply
3) Personal testimony from those working at NASA, with NASA, or in any way affiliated with NASA. No good, no matter how many of them there are they're all probably in on it
4) Physical samples taken from space. No good, they could have come from anywhere.
5) They could physically take me to somewhere like the moon. No good, there are advanced drugs and other methods that can be used to create a fake reality, plant memories and the like, and it could all be simulated once I get in the craft anyway
What did I miss?

You do press an excellent point.
I do have to say though, the most a buddy has ever asked me to loan him is a couple hundred bucks, which I gladly did without a second thought.
I have never been asked to loan or just GIVE anyone 2.5 billion however.
I don't get the point you're trying to make.
Are you suggesting that expenses are evidence against the Mars landing being legitimate? Because that would be an example of an invalid thought process.
Your post is an example of down syndrome. Go be a downer somehwere else.

After reading your post about the flat earth I'm not even sure whether you're messing with me and others or whether you're not quite all there.

It appears so!
Perhaps I misinterpreted the "without a grain of proof" part as meaning I pay taxes without proof, instead of the OP not providing proof?
Oh, I dunno, I'm confused. Maybe I am a downer.

At risk of going too far; has any of you guys considered that the earth might actually be flat? With an open mind it actually could be true? If you go past a certain height there is a massive LED screen. Our eyes give us the illusion of horizon curvature. Aeroplane windows are bent deliberatly. Moon landing never happened, NASA "accidentally" recorded over all of the original moon landing film. (the only copy)
The UN logo
Antarctica surrounds our whole planet. Sounds a bit nuts, but what if?

How do you know Mars is lifeless? have you been there and studied soil samples?

Strawman. Not believing every single thing the media tells me is not even close to rejecting the entire mars landing as a work of complete fabrication.

I wasn't talking about your avatar.
jokes aside. There's no harm in some nutty thinking at 2am in the morning. If I told friends and family about flat earth then I would obviously be a downer.

Reality usually proves stranger than fiction. Sure, it would be one hell of a conspiracy. I think it would make sense that our world and surroundings are fake. To what extent is anyones guess, but imagine if the planet was much, much, much much bigger than we are told. Or if planets even exist. It would be one huge hoax. We dont know the tech "they" have. Why is antarctica so heavily guarded. Try and sail there without permission and see what happens. Nuclear US base being set up in Perth?? What exactly would perth be covering? A threat from africa? yeah right

HaHa! Calling names now? You didn't really answer my question. So if its something they show us from NASA it's all on the up and up. That's your rule for yourself? Not very critical of you, you could at least pretend to have questioned this and told us your research that proved it all true.
