Actually, that's a dime- or 10 cents. Nice try though!

India plants flag on Moon

@William

I assume you're talking about the Van Allen radiation belts when you mention cosmic rays killing the astronauts? The astronauts were only exposed to this radiation for ~4 hours each way, and both times were protected by their spaceship. There's a very interesting link about the radiation here:

"Why not just claim I am being un patriotic and that if I don't believe the US landed on the moon I must be a damn terrorist and deserve to be locked up. 20 years ago I would have been a commie, but alas I digress."

Wait a minute- nobody said anything about you being unpatriotic! Nice attempt to play the victim because everybody doesn't agree with you, but it's not going to fly. Next time try arguing the facts.

Ultimately, if you want to believe the moon landing is faked nobody is going to stop you. Just like if you want to believe the earth is flat nobody is going to stop you (just google the Flat Earth Society if you don't believe there are people out there who still think *this* too). However, if you're going to argue against it you should use facts rather than abuse.
