I'm the one that gets to ROFLMAO here!!! Really the debate has turned post script.

Tell you what, I'll go check out your link and I will do so with an open mind. Lets see if you could please do the same and read through the entire page on the OP link(also posted above).
ty, I've read them all. Most of the websites are just reguritations of the same articles. On top of that, I've seen the recreations that were done in the desert on the NGC special. Did you?

All of them seem to be quoting one or more of 3 'experts'. Bill Kaysing, who was a tech writer for Rocketdyne in the early 60's, and in no way is an engineer or scientist at all, Ralph Rene, a self taught engineer, but who most real scientist think of as a 'crackpot and a charlatan'. But hey, he's got a book to sell you...

Oh, and David Persey, a 'award winning' photographer, yet no one can seem to find any kinds of awards he might have won.

And also The Jodrell Bank radio observatory in the United Kingdom, among others, tracked the spacecraft independently of NASA. [the man who did the actuall tracking was intervied on the NGC show, and he says, yes, it did go to the moon] And since the United States and the Soviet Union routinely tracked each other's spacecraft and listened in on their radio traffic, it's reasonable to suppose that the Soviet Union also tracked the Apollo spacecraft. These signals have to be received with precisely-aimed radio telescopes. There are plenty of non-NASA non-Americans who can testify to having intercepted Apollo radio traffic from the moon. NASA even published its radio frequencies ahead of time so that other countries could listen in.

Evidence? What evidence? Suppositions and opinions that can easily be explained away by science and straight forward common sense.

But I supposed all the evidence that it DID happen, namely, tracking it to the moon, lasers being bounced off of mirrors placed on the moon during the mission, properties of items moving that could only been done in a vacuum AND zero gravity, pictures of the Apollo 15 landing site from earth, rocks of chemical makeup that could only be found on the moon (confirmed by renowned geologists the WORLD OVER), well, forget all that evidence. Some crackpot said it didn't happen.
