    What was the result?

    Slowly lowered? Lack of air resistance, Seph. :p. Meaning a feather would fall like a brick.

    Mythbuster already busted the Moon Landing conspiracy.

    Has it been considered that only the original moon landing was faked? Sure, humanity has been to the moon, Mythbusters showed that well enough, but as far as I'm aware the only video sheeple have problems with is the Apollo 11 mission.

    no, it would be lowered slowly. Gravity on the moon is 1/6th of what it is on earth, therefore objects fall slower. A feather would fall at the same rate as a brick due to lack of air resistance, but both would fall slower than they would on earth.

    Yeah, Mythbusters did a whole episode on it and they confirmed that it was no fake.

    yeah i liked that episode they proved that a footprint can be made on moon because of its composition i think... and they used an original neil armstrong action figure!

    Unless, of course, the air resistance on a feather (which varies depending on the feather) is more significant than you're making it out to be. I would assume that a feather would fall faster without air resistance, even with the moon's gravity being ~1.6m/s^2. I guess it would depend on the feather, specifically, and I wouldn't put any money on it, but I would actually guess that a large enough feather may actually fall faster on the moon than on earth. Think of how much faster a brick falls than a feather on earth. I don't know. I wouldn't guess that a feather falls at a rate above 1.6m/s^2 on earth. But, alas, I am no physicist, and I slept during the majority of my science classes.

    Anyway, if video evidence of two objects falling isn't enough, there's also video evidence of particles from the moon's surface in motion. The U.S. government in '69 was simply incapable of faking something like that. Further, with a little googling, you can find just about any reason that someone might have for calling the Apollo 11 mission a hoax debunked scientifically. Anyone with any sense whatsoever can draw appropriate conclusions about the lunar landing. I bet calling it a hoax was a meme that some of our "finest" today have misinterpreted.

    Looks like your own argument has its own hole (and not to mention, a BIG ONE too). If you're not on expert on this subject, then you have absolutely no credibility to disprove anything (in this case, the first moon landing by US) that you have no thorough understanding of.

    Guys, there's no need to get into a piss-fest over this. The author of this topic is an idiot. Case closed. Move on to something else.

    EDIT: Also, here is some fast-forwarded footage proving that you (lampslammer) are an idiot:

    Bite my shiny metal ass.

    You can make a convincing arguement that america faked the moon landing... too bad it involves disreguarding facts, and not trusting any government source.

    Moon landing isn't fake, and ppl who say that are mostly idiots with too much free time... Faking it would be idiotic and make USA pathetic in front of the world if it would come out , like Seph said.

    i thought this was the debate section. none of that answers any the questions posted. thats just a bunch of frustrated name calling because none of you could stand to hear thoughts other than yours.

    and rysio, the usa has already proved themselves pathetic with lies.

    I'll just leave this here since its relevant to this discussion.

    This topic isn't worthy of debate. Anyone who thinks that the moon landing was staged is beyond fucking help.

    since there's no dispute that man has been to the moon, whats the relevance of whether or not the first time was faked?
