If the moon is really going so fast, then that proves the moon landing must have been staged. Is there no end to the lies of our tyrannical (yet simultaneously best in the world) government?

Watch that movie/documentary about 'The shining', it made me think twice about my opinion on that subject!

Anyway, I think it will truly be a marvel when the moon ladder is built from here to there! I hope it happens in my lifetime...

Due to their immense gravitational pull.

No, they landed there. I heard from my NASA buddy (he had to tell people he worked as a janitor there to avoid being asked to reveal pesky top-secret intel) that the way to understanding it is thinking about the moon landing like a rubber band. If you stretch it out far enough, suddenly it will snap back together. The astronauts did the same thing to land on the moon.

I was reading the words of the great British philosopher 'Al Murray' last night.

He states that the reason the Americans won the race to the moon, was that no-one else was racing for it. So they won by default.
He also claimed that the British didn't attempt to take it because if they colonised it, there would be no one to eventually give to back to - vis a vis, it was pointless.

I heard Americans actually had to colonize the moon due to the whole repelling the moon through gravity thing we discussed earlier. The celestial body was on a crash course for Montana, so something needed to be done. And since Americans handle the resolution of every great, potentially Earth-shattering mission, as Hollywood aptly depicts, there you go.

Rumor has it that Armageddon is actually based on that mission. Bruce Willis' character stayed on the moon to save humanity. What a nice guy.

I always wondered about that.
But if Zyzyfer says it's so...then in must be true.

Note to self.
Don't be so fucking skeptical...watch and believe.

Of course we know the Earth revolves around the Sun. But in that survey many of us misunderstood the question. It was put to us "What does the Earth revolve around?" And we answered "America."


What "we" are you talking about? Real Americans know it's the universe that revolves around America! Laughing


Is that a fat joke?
