    I would like that one documentary explained to me that shows the astronauts manipulating the space shuttle/camera to make the earth look really far away when it was only just a few hundred miles. A time/date stamp on the video also shows that if its accurate then there is no way they made it to the moon when they claim to have done it.

    Absolutely hated this movie. Got to the point where they talk about paper tray is really an erection and turned it off. Just awful.

    Take a look at this one, one of the longest STEADICAM shots ever made (Russian Ark):
    http://www.steadishots.org/shots_detail.cfm?shotID=298 :eek:


    Also this one, with special effects in the movie HUGO:

    [I apologize if this has already been posted. Too lazy to read through this insanity. The video is pretty darn informative, if nothing else. Enjoy.]

    Why the Moon Landings Could Have Never EVER Been Faked: The Definitive Proof

    This video is so good, so incredibly brilliant, solid and simple, that you will want to paste it all over your Facebooks and Twitters just to piss off all the IMBECILES who still claim that the Moon landings were faked.* The reason is simple: the technology to fake it didn't exist.

    It's a very simple argument. It's not about showing how ignorant the hoaxers demonstrate to be with their idiotic "proofs", which actually show they don't know anything about physics, photography or even perspective. Or the fact that simple there's tons of physical proof that we were there. Or the fact that the Soviet Union was monitoring it too and accepted the American victory in the Space Race.

    No, it's something even more obvious. This video explains why there was absolutely no way to fake it at the time. Even the cameras needed to fake it didn't exist back then.

    It's completely convincing and undeniable argument and worth watching from beginning to end. I enjoyed it so much that I was giggling at some points. Especially one of them: we have gone from a world in which we couldn't possibly fake a landing on the Moon but we went there for real to a world in which we are no longer going to the Moon but we can easily fake it.

    OH. YOU. IRONY. [Thanks Karl!]

    * The idiots exist, yes. About 6 percent of the people in the United States, in fact. A percentage that defies belief.

    I brought it up because the fact that Kubrick obtained this lens is often cited as supporting evidence he was involved in the "fake moon landings". It was specifically for Barry Lyndon by chopping up a BNC camera.

    Hey! I brought Lyndon up first, and you listed me last!! (just kidding!) As for those who haven't seen The Shining, good lord, watch the damn thing. Still one of my favorite horror flicks.

    Anyone who believes the moon landing was faked is an idiot.

    not only did the moon landings not occur, but nuclear weapons only detonate if stationary in a gravitational field, making their use as air-dropped bombs impossible.

    Hiroshima & Nakasaki were simulated attacks, using airplane-mounted magnesium flares and dispersed radionuclides, taking advantage of the destruction caused by an earthquake.

    Because everyone knows rich people don't get together and talk about how they want the world to be.

    And even if they don't have the power to actually do anything.
