But I'm glad Buzz popped the guy. No respect for his elders. Too bad it didn't happen in my city, we could'a locked the guy up for Buzz, and maybe given him a little curb side justice too.
A little deep thought can easily blow away that hoax smoke

I had my first face-to-face encounter with "hoax advocate", Bart Winfield Sibrel at a meeting in Huntsville, Alabama on Saturday, March 24, 2001. Sibrel is the creator of the television "documentary" called A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE MOON. (AFTHOTWTTM) This documentary largely rehashes several old conspiracy Apollo moon hoax claims that cannot pass the test of critical analysis. A FUNNY THING also presents so-called video "evidence" that also fails the test of critical analysis. Unfortunately, viewing Bart's "evidence" comes at a monetary cost. You will have to purchase Bart's copyrighted video to view his "exclusive evidence". I think most of you can figure this marketing scheme out by yourselves.
Three Quick Reasons Why Bart Sibrel's and other Moon Hoax Allegations Are Invalid
1- None of the Apollo hoax claims are valid or legitimate. The complete historical record of Apollo is open to all investigators. There is no indication of a conspiracy. None of the official historical documents, photos or video records have been altered or tampered with.
Those "previously undiscovered" videos that Bart Sibrel's claims as "proof that Apollo never went to the moon" have been freely available to the public since 1969! In fact, they were aired LIVE in 1969.
Ultimately, there is noting to hide. Hundreds of thousands of people worked on the Apollo program. many of those people went to work everyday in buildings or facilities built by Apollo dollars. NASA spent it's Apollo budget on the moon exploration program. Not a single dollar ever actually went into space. The vast majority of Apollo era "space expenditures" went into payroll expense right here on Earth. Cities, such as Houston, Texas and Huntsville, Alabama were essentially built by those space salary dollars as NASA employees and contractor employees bought homes, automobiles, groceries, clothing and all of the those things that characterize the American way of life.
See post 60 above. I saw one or two in my business who doubted our landing on the moon...
