Moon Landings Confirmed

I saw part of a TV show recently that was heavily weighted with evidence for conspiracy theories that we never landed on the moon but light on rebuttal. While skepticism is largely a good thing, conspiracy theories are another. In any case with the 40 anniversary of Apollo 11 landing I'm sure this was why this program was on. If you think that we never landed on the moon, or even if you are inclined to believe we did, but are given pause by some of the conspiracy theories, give this site a read.

Pretty much every point made by the conspiracy nuts is debunked from the claims of moving flags to faked photos to to moon rocks.



I recently saw the documentary "In the Shadow of the Moon". I'd recommend it if your even slightly interested in the Apollo missions to the moon. I centers a bit on Apollo 11, but it has many of the living astronauts that were involved in the missions with the exception of Neil giving first hand accounts and describing their experiences and the surrounding events of that time period. Interesting stuff. For some reason it had not occurred to me until I was watching this that John F. Kennedy never lived to see the day man landed on the moon.
