Looking to basketball players, football players or boxers for words of wisdom is worse than looking to internet message boards for words of wisdom. Considering most NBA players don't graduate college and those that are in school typically have an SAT score 200 points below the average of the rest of the student body, I wouldn't consider basketball players as much of a resource on anything other than how to play basketball (or how to be born extremely tall).

What do you consider runners to be a resource for words of wisdom on?

Professional runners, not too much.

Runners in general include great minds. Some of them former pros.

Just ask any Vegas magician. Pulling the wool over the eyes is simply an exercise in exploring then exploiting the belief system of the host victim.

There is not point in going back to the moon. There's nothing there. It cost money to do. There are better things to spend the money on.

It's like taking a trip to Bakersfield. You've done it once. There's nothing more to be gained by going back again and again and again.

You took a trip to Bakersfield? I've driven through it about 50 times and never stopped. Before the end of the Cold War, a native told me it was a good place to live because it would never be nuked.

I guarantee you that some on this thread would dispute that anyone has ever landed anything on the moon - some don't think satellites exist.

Probably even Kanye's spaceship could hit the moon.

+1, this is good stuff. AWE130.com seems on top of it.

The Apollo moon landing is one of the most intriguing conspiracy of all times. In 2012 AwE130 was in direct contact with the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal (ALSJ) chief editor. The ALSJ is the historical Apollo moon landing archive that can be found on the NASA website. In a short time we got a halve dozen credits for correcting the historical Apollo archives. But we saw things we were worried about and by the end of 2012 we stepped away from the ALSJ and went our own way. AwE130 will explain to you why the Apollo moon landings could not be real. In the end the truth will be revealed in a journey towards the truth for all mankind.

here at letsrun we know some AMAZING truths!

moon landings are fake

EPO doesnt work!!!

long live GARY!!!!

I agree, too much risk, why go to the Moon, when you could just go to a Moon Simulator?

let us think this through wrote:

How did they set up the cameras on the moon and live stream it to the earth so easily and how could they so easily call richard nixon on the moon? All of stuff don't add up.

(40th anniversary, Stan Bedar, camera developer) ...It’s the only time I ever heard Neil comment on the camera, as he was on the moon and he’s commenting on the camera about when he was on the moon and what he thought at the time. So it’s a rather interesting document because he sort of sums up what most of us felt. So I’d like to read this little excerpt for you and it goes like this:

Armstrong: “I remember all the pre-flight testing we were doing on that little black and white image TV camera. In all that testing I never saw a picture successfully transmitted but the chaps assured us that it would and in fact work, and it did. And I was probably the most surprised person in the human race when mission control announced they were getting a picture. So I was never concerned that the picture quality was less then optimum I was just amazed that there was any picture at all.”

Lebar: "And I like to tell you that going back in time this was never a sure thing. The links from the transmission from the moon to the tracking sites, that the converter, that the huge tracking transmission that went to Houston, all of these, anyone of these, could have caused, if there was any burp at all it could have had a failure and no image. So his comment at the time that it isn’t quality, was less than optimum, our general feeling was when we saw the image that was very degraded, well what we felt at the time, we’ve got a picture! and it was, to us, it was the most unbelievable miracle that anyone could have that here we had the image and the world saw it. So, it’s an interesting little statement by Neil."

Exactly, just the point Bad Wigins is making.

Just because you are correct, doesn't mean you can convince via a sloppy argument.

Ummm . . . generally speaking folks have no real interest in convincing you or anyone else on this thread of anything. So take your sloppy argument and shove it up your a$$.

Also - Bad Wigins is a absolute imbecile who still does not get something so obvious.

Well, I stopped just to get gas and a bite to eat. That was enough. Of course, there is no proof I was there. I could have faked the whole think while I was actually sneaking off to Fresno.

From Pablo on a previous thread:

1) "Too many people had to be in on it" (see the Manhattan Project - which kept its secrecy FROM the American people for decades despite 10s of thousands of people working on it 40 hours a week!)

and

2) "Too much risk faking it more than once" (BUT, the very easy and all-encompassing success of the Apollo 11, gave the US super-rich every reason to expect that further "missions" would bring further success while limiting the whole cash-cow program to only one mission would tend to raise increasing doubts, "Why just once???" After all, the FIRST ONE was, by far, the hardest to pull off. After that, it was mostly just "rinse and repeat". But then, as soon as the 2nd one, Apollo 12, people were already getting bored with the unprecedented success rate of Apollo; and started mass complaining about NASA programming interrupting "I Love Lucy" (or whatever was THE TV "thing" of the day). So, along comes Apollo 13; a moment-to-moment "thriller" which re-captured American interest very deeply.

3) As to you "THINKING" you'd bet your actual LIFE on the Apollo Missions being true; I'd be a bit careful if I were you. The whole world once 100% believed that the Sun went around the Earth. Bascially everybody was 100% SURE. I bet if we had polled them back then; they too would have "bet their lives on that belief"; yet 100% of them were wrong.

btw, OUTSIDE OF THE US, the vast majority of the world's people believe that the Apollo Project was a HOAX. (Similarly, outside the US, the vast majority of the world (except Canada as the only exception) believes that Bin Laden did not do 9/11; but that instead, it was an inside job by the US Gov (or elements within it). Proving that Americans are just as easily misled by our government and other peoples usually are by theirs; AND, the "closer to home" the issue, the more the brainwashing is pushed and the more effective it tends to be.

I'm guessing that's what helped us get to the moon first - we aren't idiots.

You have put way too much time and effort into studying this. You know you won't actually convince anyone that it was a hoax that doesn't already believe that, right?

But good trolling, you got a lot of posters to take your bait.

Let me just put it this way.

If UnderArmour had sponsored the Neil Armstrong shoes (iconic footprint), we'd have better historical proof.

But the US govt is getting pretty famous for losing things and being unable to remember.

Naive post. You people believe too much of what the government says and you're unable to apply basic common sense & logic anymore. Put down your stupid smartphones glued to your fingers and sit back think about this for moment.

Ask yourself why haven't we gone back in almost 50 freaking years? Next year is the "supposedly" 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 and NO planned mission to go back? If it was so easy to go back & forth to the moon several times with the primitive technology of the 70s, it should be a piece of cake to go back in the 21st century. And the cost? Please...what's Billions of dollars when the government throws TRILLIONS of dollars at the DOD to squander with military projects.

And here's your smoking gun (pay attention): NASA says they can't go back because they "destroyed the technology" from that era and they can't restart the project. Really? WTF Rover? Billions of $$$ spent on the government's most costly program ever and they conveniently "destroyed" the technology. C'mon people....wake up and smell the coffee. "Destroyed the technology!?!" Lol.

When I got out of Tehachapi (Prison), the govt gave me a one-way ticket to Bakersfield.

Bakersfield was noted for hot babes; hence "Bakersfield Babes." Is that the same or has that changed these days?

It's called "creative destruction", forcing us (USA, or Earth more generally) to come up with a new/better solution (eg Elon Musk).

Maybe it's best for all that we don't go back.
