when you consider that they were using computers at the time that were probably less powerful than my blackberry, when you consider that in another couple of years, the United States will have NO capability to put a human in space, much less put a human on the moon, when you consider how many lies our government has told its citizens, it's not hard to see why people have doubts that it happened.

I beg to differ. It's truly difficult to follow the loony loops of logic required to accept any part of the so-called Apollo conspiracy theories. The Gallup poll a few years ago that found 6% of Americans doubting its veracity is shockingly high.

That's something on the order of 15ish million people. Unbelievable stupidity. I only pray they never vote.

I read that for people under 30, it's like 20% that doubt it.

that's your public education system. I bet the same number can't find their own state on a map.

people just love conspiracies because they're more interesting than the boring truth.
