The Moon could be still seen as a light--light comes to Earth from the Moon, even if the light originated in the Sun.
Are the rovers that just landed going to take a photo of the flag the astronauts planted in the 60’s?
Some moonbat congressperson.
I believe the moon reflects the sun. I also believe that this story is a fabrication.
BSAlert has no link, and the newpaper apparently earlier linked took the story down.
Doncha think it MIGHT be that the paper realized it has published something incredibly wrong? Occams Razor and all that, it sure seems more likely that a paper printed some BS story, then took it down than the entire town of Waco turned out to hear Bill Nye, then booed when he “suggested” that the moon didn’t emit light.
Do you really think people who are that backward in their thinking would make a point to go hear Bill Nye lecture?
Nah. Until I hear a first hand withness, this is BS.
I know someone who actually believes we never went to the moon. Everyone tells him he may be right. This guy is in his thirties. Telling him otherwise is like getting in a name calling argument with a third grader.
If you look at the bsalert.com website, it sure seems like a left-wing political website, and part of the left wing’s strategy has always been to ridicule their opponents.
Nope.
Wow, am I the ONLY Mystery Science Theater 3000 watcher here? =O
LOL
I guess I shouldn't have picked such an obscure reference...
Woman, why did you go to the presentation of "Bill Nye, The Science Guy"? You're not going to get a sermon there.
The reminds me of the old joke about a Southern Politician stumping through a small town in a Southern State: "My opponent is a Homo sapien and his wife is a Thesbian."
Folks, look at the source of the story: BS Alert.
I was selling an elementary social studies text, and was accused of trying to teach evolution because of a picture of ancient drawings on a cave wall.
I had to cheat, but

You win the No Prize!
I used to love MST3000, but it was RARELY on when I could watch it, and it seems to lose something watching it on tape during the day.
If this story is true, these people do not represent the mainstream of the conservative movement, the Republican Party, or the state of Texas.
I sincerely hope this story is made up. BTW, it’s been posted on DU and the twerps there are having a field day.
Don W = Super Genius!
This show MUST be watched at night. I never saw it in its original airing, but that must have been great--there's something about the imagined mass viewing experience across the country that would add so much to these.
I have the entire run on DVD-R and this episode is perhaps one of my favorites. It's so incredibly incompetent that the guys have tons to comment on. Oddly, though, most people I've shown this to don't care for it.
I find it fascinating...at night, of course. (The short subjects preceeding it are fine, too, especially the one about Ben Frankling giving financial advice to some skinny kid.)
Flag on the moon!
I wonder if this woman was wearing a burka. As I recall, the moon is central to the Mooselum religion. Making it dependent on the sun which is often associated with the Christian religion. I’ll find some moon references later when I’m more awake. Hey, it’s Saturday morning.
