100% correct;

…this simple graph makes the principle very easy to understand.

I see this is sponsored by Audi. Does that mean it'll drive up at speed behind the NASA rover, tailgate it, flash it's lights and pip it's horn whilst the knob driving it is on the phone and shaving?

No, but the man in the moon will choke on the exhaust fumes.

I quite liked that, but it doesn't seem to be remembered much. I only discovered fairly recently that it was co-devised by Richard Osman!

I refer you to #34.
Mind you there might be something in it...

I don't think any space ship - American, European, Chinese built etc - has gone that far beyond civilian aircraft altitude. I think there is an electromagnetic field around the Earth preventing pesky humans leaving the planet. Stuff like the ISS - International Space Station - all fake! I think it's the one genuine conspiracy theory (well that and JFK's death, of course).

That's nice, dear.

Go Youtube water bubbles NASA space missions and there is the truth. Filmed underwater. Clear water bubbles rising. No upward force in space. And no water in space! But if you wanna believe NASA is really in space, go ahead.

You know NASA actually practise under water right, and that you have just been gullible about conspiracy sites miss-labelling videos?

Bless!

Actually, there is a great deal of water in space. But I fear you are not quite ready for any actual science. What is it like being you?

The space suit is a bit kinky, but otherwise I quite see your point.

so, how does satellite tv broadcasting work, then ? Seems to me, there is no way to ''fake'' satellite footprints, from a geostationary orbit in the Clarke Belt .......

It was great, especially "Minsky the Monkey" and that dog they had a funeral for, "Mr Bimby"

Just to say, the moon landings conspiracy theory originated with the book ''Dark Moon'', but a claim that nothing has been further from the ground than aircraft is quite extreme, and frankly, completely ridiculous ......

People who get extremely silly with conspiracy theories, should just settle for ''we're all brains in jars'', then, ''external reality'' can be whatever u want ........

Lots of them do think that The Matrix is a documentary.

I think that claims like that say more about the person that it does about those brave men who did fly to the moon.

I always think that the most thrilling moment of the Apollo missions came on Saturday 21 December 1968 with the launch of Apollo VIII

To see a Saturn V clear the tower was awesome. Lots of people stood around saying "They will never come back". To be fair they had a point. The original plan for the Saturn V was 13 launches before it was to be man rated. This was the third launch and the second one was not a complete success.

However Apollo VIII was an amazing success and the crew are still alive today as far as I am aware.

10,000 faked pictures, is what the lunatics will claim.

I could not care what they claim.

Back in 1969 we only had one denier. A very mad stupid woman.

Those of us old enough to have watched the Apollo launches are very privileged.

Yep, they took some risks with Apollo, the lunar module as ''backup'' being in the plan, the tragic Apollo capsule fire delayed everything by about 2 years, the usa ''only just'' got to the moon within President Kennedy's famous deadline ........

They were certainly events to be remembered. Usually the rocket became clouded in smoke but in the case of Apollo XI the plumes went to either side and there was perfect view of the rocket ascending.

Of course XII was even more amazing i that it was launched into the teeth of a storm. You would not see that happening now.

Amazing that they did not pull the abort handle.

Mind you on Gemini VI Wally Schirra chose not to abort while they drained highly flammable rocket fuel below him.

They were very brave men.

as were their Russian counterparts.
