The Vedas state that the moon is 800,000 miles farther from the earth than the sun.

So what is the big round thing in the sky night then? Sheesh. What do these "scriptures" say 9-11?

[P-Marlowe]

Be Nice.

This is the Religion Forum.

[P-Marlowe]

Are you mocking this religion?

[P-Marlowe]

Flying Inmans. I think you guys might be interested in this.

[buccaneer81]

Are you mocking this religion?

I'll mock their bizarre ideas about astronomy, yes.

[TheLion]

There are just too many people involved for two many years for this to be a hoax.

Since Lord Krishnafishna Vishnududu says that the moon is 800,000 miles further from us than the sun, the really significant question is not "How did NASA fake the moon landings?" The real question is "How has NASA faked all those lunar eclipses?" Not only those that happen every year somewhere in the world, but also eclipses going back centuries that are mentioned in written historical records of many cultures and civilizations?

Boy, those NASA guys are a lot smarter than we ever dreamed!!

They sort of take the opposite view of the Mormons, in that the Mormons believed there were people on the Moon for quite some time, according to the prior thread you posted, from around 1892.

[metmom]

I never knew that. You learn something new on FR every day, dontcha?

Well, not exactly:

Apparently the Hare Krishnas believe that Krishna lives on the moon and the the Apollo Astronauts were phonies:

"The moon is considered one of the planets of the heavenly kingdom. One can be promoted to this planet by executing different sacrifices recommended in the Vedic literature, such as pious activities in worshiping the demigods and forefathers with rigidity and vows. But one cannot remain there for a very long time. Life on the moon is said to last ten thousand years according to the calculation of the demigods. The demigods' time is calculated in such a way that one day (twelve hours) is equal to six months on this planet. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO REACH THE MOON BY ANY MATERIAL VEHICLE LIKE A SPUTNIK, but persons who are attracted by material enjoyment can go to the moon by pious activities. In spite of being promoted to the moon, however, one has to come back to this earth again when the merits of his works in sacrifice are finished." (Bhag. 3.32.3)

Well, if you watch some of the videos as I have of the astronauts cavorting, you will see one thing for sure.

They kick up dust.
The dust falls back down.

Now I don’t know if the video was shot on the moon, on Mars, on some back lot near Hollywood, or in the Great Land of Oz, but I can tell you one thing.
It was shot in an airless environment!

Oops, make that “solar eclipses” - ie where the moon is allegedly is in front of the sun. (I say “alleged” to not upset any Vishnoids on this thread)
