What happened on the moon [major update]

[Idoru]

yes, ive read it, but I was curious where lordraleigh had come across it

I wish I knew people willing to go for a roleplaying using GURPS Age of Napoleon, GURPS Illuminati among others(A RPG based on the 18th and/or 19th centuries of Real World is really missing, most either are medieval or futuristic), with a GM hand on the settings to spice up things of course.

@Idoru: Here: http://www.sjgames.com/illuminati/wisdom.html

Deus Ex would be somewhere between Cyberpunk and Illuminati though.

Hmm, interesting topic.

I'm not going to blame the original poster, since he obviously didn't make the video nor am I going to say that I agree or disagree. What I find highly suspect though is that it's the Brits who are mostly making these kinds of videos and criticizing in them, considering that, unlike Russians and Americans, they didn't do anything first in space. They complain about Russians too but their main suspicion seems to be focused around admitting that Russians did send a man into space first, and that he even came back alive but that Gagarin took his place because he was thought to have worked better as a public figure. Although I personally don't believe it and think it's grasping at straws. At least they admit that technology existed and was even superior to be able to successfully send a man into space without crossing the radiation belts.

As for the moon landing. They are either saying that Americans either did send a real crew but it died and couldn't come back to Earth, so they replaced it with a fake one or that Americans didn't go beyond the radiation belts at all and that it's a total hoax. It may very well be that US never did land on the moon. However, once again, it seems the majority of such videos, books and websites are made by the Brits. Although they do often interview people from US in regards to the Apollo program.

I do think that the radiation belts are the biggest reason that make the moon landing less and less credible. Also, what's with the sudden cancellation of Japan's own program to launch their "thing", which was supposed to confirm if US really did land on the moon? Or the fact that NASA suddenly lost and can't find so much material, like tapes and pictures, related to the moon landing, considering how significant of an event it was supposed to be? Or one of the most miserable, if not the most miserable press conferences ever in the history of the world, for Apollo 11? That doesn't help the situation at all.

Anyway, I'm not going to get into this discussion beyond this post.
