Conspiracy Theory of the Month - July 2009

THE LUNAR LANDINGS

Today marks the 40th anniversary of NASA’s Apollo 11 Lunar Landing and Astronaut Neil Armstrong’s historic moon walk. Bolstered by the immortal words of President Kennedy and The Will of The People, NASA won the space race (to the tune of over 30 billion dollars), and Neil Armstrong and his crew became the first human beings in history to set foot on a foreign body in our Universe.

So where is the conspiracy? Everyone knows that NASA exists and no one argues that the Mercury and Apollo space programs were real. Thousands of people a year visit Cape Canaveral and The Kennedy Space Center to view rockets the size of skyscrapers on full display.

Every single argument that questions the validity of the moon landings (6 successful Apollo missions in total with 12 astronauts that walked on the surface), has been debunked by “authorities and experts”.

So, why with all the facts, details, documentation and evidence would there by any doubt? Any doubt at all?

Because even though the hoax theories are disputed and ridiculed, they seem to be valid or hold a kernel of truth when you look at the bottom line:

Is there missing data, including the Research and Development documentation and blueprints of the lunar landing machines themselves? Yes.

Do the photos and video seem doctored? Yes.

Was the flag waving in zero atmosphere? Yes.

Are moon rocks interchangeable with meteorites found in Antarctica? Yes.

Were the tapes that recorded THE MOST IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENT OF MANKIND IN ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY erased and re-used? Yes.

But, “enhanced” tapes were released just this week for the anniversary? Yes.

Is it true that every single astronaut that was sent all the way to the moon, 24 in total, survived, yet 14 astronauts have died within our atmosphere, less than 300 miles from Earth? Yes.

Was there an inordinate amount of pressure and haste involved in winning the space race at all costs? Yes.

Has there been a suspicious amount of deaths associated with the Apollo programs, 12 people in all? Yes.

Has anyone fully explained how we got past the Van Allen radiation belts more than 10 times without nuking the astronauts or going around them? No.

Why, if it was so easy to develop this technology between 1961- 1969, wasn’t it used again?

Why did the Russian space program go away?

Why did the Chinese one never really start?

Why don’t the Japanese Gods of Technology have any interest in going?

How much was it again, that we spent to send men to walk on the moon and collect rocks?

Okay, you’ve read this, said “so what?” and still agree we went to the moon and that conspiracies are delusional. You believe that we pulled off a miracle like the 1980 US Olympic Hockey Team! We won the Space Race and became the Number One Country on Earth!! WE WALKED ON THE MOON!! In Your Face!

So, what did we win when we won this "space race"? It has to be great, right? At least all of our allies have to be jazzed for us! Because this kind of penultimate human achievement, especially coming from a country like the USA, a happy modern democratic country, would be shared and something great would come out of it, right?

Not really. It seems we patted ourselves on the back, entered the Vietnam War, Kennedy was killed, the recession in the 1970’s was horrible and we were restricted to buying gasoline on alternating days, the 80’s boom led to the Gulf War and the financial market downturn of the early 90’s, the economic and foreign policies to follow would lead to our current predicament in which we are presently mired in at least 3 or 4 wars: Iraq, Afghanistan, The war on drugs and take your pick…Iraq? North Korea?

NASA received over $416 billion dollars between 1953-2008.

On our great 40th anniversary of this impossible achievement, not one country on Earth has stepped up to congratulate us! Why? Seriously, ask yourself why. Why would not the Queen of England share her memories of the experience that day? Governments do diplomatic bullshitty things all the time to placate each other and yet THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT OF MAN goes unheralded, unmarked...ehhh...whatever...

As kids we were as enamored by NASA and this whole thing as anyone. Right now, the US doesn’t need to keep feeding NASA over 8 billion a year that could be funding public schools, fixing crumbling infrastructure and you name it. Even if we did go to the moon, the glory days are over.
