After all the effort, training and money it took to get us up here… … I REALLY hope some clueless dope on the internet says this was all made up. That would just make my day.

Copy & paste this:



That would make my day too. Lots of idiots on the net, bound to have one nullist.
*please note sarcasm*
But, I thought EVERYONE knew this was all done on a Sounstage in Los Angeles, filmed by the CIA and shown to the world with the specific purpose of showing our superiority to the Russkies!!!
No, even the LA soundstage was just a cover up. They never did go to the moon, they miscalculated. They just went with it made it all up so we would never find out their mistake. Through clever photoshopping and pallete swapping, they covered up their error to the public. Have you noticed that the Moon sort of looks like a black-and-white Mars?
*facepalm*
Its impossible for those days to do such a thing
Ahhhh…that’s what THEY want you to think!
You do realize that was sarcasm, yes?
How come we have telescopes powerful enough to see all the crap we left up there?
Show me the pictures.
Let the trolling begin!
WYRM-Y!!! are you back? please? please?
Where’s your avatar, dude?
*Is raptured with a DWN sighting, swoons, faints*
*SPLASH* Snap out of it, MG. He’ll need us in the coming battle.
*taps on shoulder* That wasn’t me…
Infernal awaiting moderation…
Who the bleeding sod are you?
There, that should go through.
Oooh, you got a sock? Hmm. I’ve never had a sock. Yet. (Must be because all mine go missing in the wash….)
Yay. Buzz Aldrin!
Bugger. Someone beat me to second place!
Anachronism win! Faux quoting an astronaut from the 1960s/1970s talking about the internet. Can the next one be about Napolean having the battery on his GPS run out at Waterloo?
Lol, I’d love to have that picture!
Yes. Why not?
lol. Brilliant.
C’est parfait!
Ha! Nice one
Yes, YES!
Win.
Do tell us what you think IS funny, I’m sure we’d love to learn.
See above. Thanks for your input.
Stop arguing with yourself.
Did I say anything wasn’t funny? No, I said it was anachornisticly absurd. dissimilitude’s image was so absurd that it was actually quite funny. Are we done now?
Thank you! It was, after all, your idea.
You never fail to gives a laugh.. loved it, diss!
Yes, I think we’ve all learned something here today. Anachronism isn’t funny. And also anachronism is funny. I am no longer confused.
I’m glad you mentioned that. It’s why I came to the comment section. I also think the folks here would like to know that it didn’t take someone on the internet to think up a conspiracy theory about the moon landings. Those came along quite a bit before the internet came along.
An all too real colossal waste of time, energy, and money that could have been much better spent on problems right here on earth.
Earth’s got enough problems without spending on even more.
^win.
Investing in basic sciences, like spending on particle colliders etc, is pointless too, right? Oh yeah, I hope you never make use of satellite technology. Or any other tech that came from the space program.
ya, cause we might not of learned much from moon rocks…they are rocks…the end
but the silly hoomans did advance hooman knowlage of science stuff alot.
Enormous leaps in rocket science were made from the space race. Technology that is featured in ramjet and scramjet engines that will be utilized in the future was developed because of the space race.
The future of humanity lies in space. It was so much more than checking out some rocks.
The earth is our crib. We must step out and explore our universe.
Oh and blow up anyone that doesn’t look like us.
Aside from all the scientific and medical advances that came from the space program (that benefit everything from surgery to firefighting, microwave ovens came from this as well) there is something else. We are most emphatically NOT ‘throwing our money away’ in space! All the money we spend goes to build things and research things, right? We pay researchers to study, we pay contractors to build. That money goes right back into the economy because they spend the money in it. No, we are not ‘throwing our money away.’
The budget for space exploration and research is absolutely tiny when compared to everything else. Though NASA often does things in ludicrous ways, the benefits of their research has been incalculable.
Want the list? I don’t have room.
They COULD have just given the money to me. I would have spent it on cool stuff and thereby benefited the economy. Any benefit to me personally would just be a fortunate by-product.
PS the microwave oven was invented in 1945 by a guy working on radar. You’ll be saying NASA invented time travel next.
One of these things is just like the other …
There is a good reason for that, but I can’t remember what it is…
They did! – notice how the astronaut already knew about the internet?
Duh, we already did that next Thursday!
God invented the microwave and time travel. He also invented a dual purpose microwave/time machine.
He’s currently working on a watch that is large enough to fit a hot-pocket.

Hey could you post that again with paragraphs? Nah, joking :p
We should also consider the benefits for the future. That is, if we care about it.
Possible fast space travel, life in space, and protection from many hazards.
The sun is estimated to die in about 5 billion years. It’s a lot, but it means sooner or later life on Earth won’t be naturally possible anymore (assuming nothing eradicates life before this).
If the human race survives that far, it will need powerful technology to keep surviving.
Perhaps we’ll learn to produce plenty of low-cost and eco-friendly energy to keep us warm (or cold at first, since the sun should first turn into a super-nova, scorching us, before disappearing entirely and leaving us to freeze).
Perhaps we’ll learn to build huge transparent domes under which we’ll live so we can stay at the surface instead of living underground.
Maybe we’ll even find a way to save the sun, or artificially create a new star to replace it (I always assume whatever nature does can be reproduced with the right technology. In 5 billion years, who knows what we’ll have learned?).
Another hazard could be a comet or meteorite striking the Earth. We need to find a way to deviate such things from their course, or destroy them to dust.
Whatever the threats, humanity needs the space program to survive. Even if a meteorite or global warming or a super volcano or whatever else does not kill every single human, the death of the sun will do it for sure if we don’t have a solution.
The real question should be: do we want humanity to survive, or do we not care what happens 1000 generations from now?
It’s all a matter of personal opinion.
Personally, my deep interest for science makes me want the story of mankind to go on. Humans are fascinating despite how awful they may be at times. And I hope our race will one day hold all the possible scientific knowledge of the universe, for the sake of curiosity.
I should also mention the fact that I believe we may one day be able to resurrect people from the dead. It probably sounds crazy, but I keep holding to this idea that if nature could create something, so can we by mastering nature. If consciousness is natural (not created by a god or magic), then I think it is possible to recreate it (and therefore recreate people) with the right technology (very complex technology).
So considering this, I want to invest in the future, so that I will come back to life and not remain in the void of nonexistence (if putting mystical beliefs aside, death is useless to one’s own self).
Anyway, before we decide if we want to invest in the future or not, and to fund a space program, we should remember one thing: all the benefits of the space program came only much after work started. Decades later.
I like to think the space program was mostly created on the desire to help the future. I’m thankful people about 50 or 60 years ago (not sure when the program started) invested in this program so that today I can have all this comfort.
Consciousness is not natural. It was a nice thought though.
Yeah, sorry about the wall of text. It was a cut and paste job.
yes it was a cold war propaganda race of governments to distract their people.
Every penny spent on the space program resulted in thousands of dollars boost to our economy. From ball point pens to computers, our economic supremacy during the second half of the twentieth century is owed mostly to our space program.
PM, haven’t seen you in a while! *waves at computer screen*
Hi Diss! How’ve you been?
Good, just busy as hell. You?
(And why, why, why are you not in our facebook group? Hmmm?)
Yeah, even I’m in it, and I’m hardly ever around!
I’m actually looking forward to joining the facebook group… just as soon as I get a facebook account!
“PK Irregulars 2″ correct?
The ball point pen was invented by a Hungarian in 1938. So really it was their space program we owe it to…
hungarian space program?
you mean those blokes pileing stuff on top of each other and reaching at the moon?
Yeah, nobody talks about it these days. Another American cover up. But that wasn’t water they just discovered on the moon, it was ghoulash. And discarded Biros.
I think they realized after many failed attempts that piles of stuff weren’t going to be stable enough and started using ladders.
“Come in, Budapest. Come in. Budapest? Hello? Bloody hell! These cans with string aren’t working!”
only way to get a messege to them now is mail pidgion….open the space doors and release the pidgi- the doors opened, if sound could of happened the smooshing of men and a ugly lil bird would of filled your ears-
Eeech, I hate it when my ears are full of pigeon.
You need Quail tips to get them out.
I don’t have to robin a bank to buy those do I?
nah, owl help you get some from the corner store
Wait! We need to hatch a viable plan..
That would be the cardinal sin!
Please don’t give me the bird for the nesting fail.
No ruffled feathers here – these de-tails are all just window trussing.
Yay! How about some milk and Oriole cookies??!!
You’re mocking me, right? Now pass that jay.
*shares jay with Pitty*
Now that’s something to crow about,eh?
I laughed so hard when I read this.
It didn’t work very well, and leaked everywhere, of course. The space program improved it for writing in a zero-g environment.
Nice one, PortlandMark. And notice how our economy started doing worse once we pulled back from space in nineties? No, it wasn’t a sole cause, but it was a factor.
As regards ballpoint pens and Hungarians, it matters little who invented a thing, rather who popularized it.
“our economy started doing worse once we pulled back from space in nineties”
What was cause and what was effect?
‘One small step for a man, one giant leap for ballpoint pens.’ I’m sure I had one before 1969. Maybe it was me who popularized it….
Maybe you invented them and have just forgotten that you did?
Yes, I remember now. Course in those days we called them ‘moon writing pens’.
And when you weren’t using them, you stuck them into the onion you had hanging on the belt, I presume?
Where else? You think I shoved ‘em up a walking bird’s ass?
It wasn’t ballpoint pens that were popularized anyway, come to think of it. It was the pressurized pen.
yeah lets put money in a way to let a pen write in zero gravity
the russians used a pencil
talk about doing things the hard way
hoax or not its time to put another guy on the moon
You can’t sign official documents with a pencil. So that completely debunks your opinion. In fact, I just threw a polar bear at your opinion.
I stand corrected.
It WAS a fake. All of this was a hoax, propaganda to put America ahead in the Space Race. It was filmed by the CIA with clever photoshopping and pallete swapping so we’d never find out where they really are. Ever wonder why the Moon in all of the photos sorta looks like a black-and-white Mars?
snort! Good one.
So they “photoshopped” in 1969. Before there were computers capable of running Photoshop. Let alone photoshop itself. And your argument here is they made it to Mars to take pictures to color shift to fake a moon landing? Please tell me you are joking.
Hah, yes. That post was essentially complete sarcasm.
Ok, good, I was scared for a bit.
It really is a sad thing when we are scared by the knowledge that anyone of our fellow man could actually be stupid enough to believe that, when clearly it’s so full of holes and invalid information. Ahh, so much for my hope in mankind…
Right on, KnightOfSwords. I’m really glad you are being sarcastic because I’ve seen folks that seriously believe that same pablum.
(This LOL is better than the last one though)
Even though you cannot see direct evidence of the moon excursions with a telescope, there is one artifact that the astronauts left behind on the moon that does provide evidence of their missions. That artifact is a laser beam reflector that has been used to track the distance of the moon from the Earth.
See link.
http://www.howstuffworks.com/framed.htm?parent=question188.htm&url=http://physics.nist.gov/News/Update/940718.html
ah! there wasn’t Photoshop at that time but a laser beam is allright!
isn’t it the Star War program instead?! where’s the Death Star in the background?!
Sorry for the double-post, didn’t notice the first one went through after my internet went down.
I understood these moon landing posts popping up around the anniversary, but we don’t care anymore.
typical unfunny captions by american
So different from your hilarious commentary.
I would, however, like to compliment Jose on his fine, fine tequila products.
O Jose, Jose, Cuervo art thou Jose?
Deny thy lather and froth!
Jose can you seee……
… or it gets the Jose again.
I thought the commentary was funny: it made me laugh AT jose.
That post makes me want to trace your IP, come to your house and punch you in the dick. Then punch your mother for having you. Just sayin’.
fighting never solved anything…cept all those wars…and impressed a lot of girls…OH and boxing matchs…and hockey…hey fighting is pretty useful!
Not that I condone violence but THAT would be funny.
And well deserved.
Ivan The Floydist is troll’d hard
The funny thing is that half of the people posting here probably think 9/11 was an inside job.
No, but the shortage in the register at the 7/11, that was an inside job.
does inside job mean done by a bunch of crazy mass murdering terrorists?
Win
meh bitter troll thinks he was makeing fun of the fact the pic has the space moon man thinking half the people on the interwebs thinking it was a fake bitter troll thinks
Fetches garden chair & breaks open a bottle of jose. Ok, I’m seated. This should be good…
i’m kinda crabby today. i’m overtired. i have an ear infection. i also have a cold.
had this fu(knut started something it wouldn’t have ended well. trolls are not going to be tolerated today.
Yay! Go get ‘em!
*gives t_o_s several thumbs up* (Yeah, I keep a few spare ones in the freezer.
you use them at crime scenes don’t you? randomly placing thumb prints in obvious places just to screw with people and make them think someone else was there… i know that’s what i’d do if i had a freezer full of thumbs.
Together with the fingers picked from randomness, they are brilliant for that. But don’t tell anyone.
*zippers lips closed*
secret’s safe with me!
-hugs shortright- but bitter troll loves you
you’re not a troll. you’re bitter troll. totally different. don’t you know this by now??
bitter troll suffers from short term memory something bitter troll forgets
(clarification: this joke is so much better in person because writing it out based on who should be saying things just makes it no fun)
ADD kid: ‘how many ADD kids does it take to change a lightbulb?’
other person: ‘ugh…’
ADD kid: *interrupting* ‘wanna go ride bikes?’ *walk away*
i love pulling that joke on people.
but then again, i really like lightbulb jokes. we had them for every sorority and fraternity on my college campus. my sorority’s was:
how many phi mu’s does it take to change a lightbulb? all of them. one to change the lightbulb the rest of them to make a t-shirt about it. (we were notorious for having new house t-shirts about once a month.)
Light bulb jokes are fecking excellent. As an orchestra player, I really enjoy the plethora of “How many trumpet/trombone/violin/double bass/clarinet etc. players does it take to…” Nerdy, but EX. CELL. ENT.
I love lightbulb jokes, too!
How many psychiatrists does it take to change a light bulb? Only one, but the light bulb has to want to change.
that one’s good!
my favorite one referred to kappa alpha theta (i apologize to any theta’s who may lurk here). they were quite, um, slutty, on my campus. so their joke was…
how many theta’s does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
none. they all dropped what they were doing when they heard the word screw, put on their tight black pants and went over to the frat houses.
I got in big trouble at work once for writing a lightbulb joke including everyone in the dept (myself included, so it was fair). The guys in the dept loved it. Management was not nearly as thrilled by my humor.
How many trumpet players does it take to change a lightbulb?
Four. One to change it, and the other three to tell him how much better they would’ve done it.
How many french horn players does it take to change a lightbulb?
It only takes one, but it’ll take him hours as he first will check the bulb for alignment and leaks.
How many percussionists does it take to change a lightbulb?
Only one, but he’ll go through about a dozen before he starts realizing you can’t just push them in.
How many flutists does it take to change a lightbulb?
One. She holds the bulb and the world revolves around her.
… and so on …
How many viola players does it take to change a lightbulb?
‘What’s a lightbulb?’
i used to know a bunch of orchestra related jokes but don’t remember any of them now… 8 years of marching band, 3 years of symphony orchestra and about 15 years of concert band will beat the jokes into you…
What’s the difference between a bull and a symphony orchestra?
With a bull the horns are at the front and the a*hole is at the back.
What do you get when you throw two toms and a cymbal off a cliff?
Da-dum Chhh!
If it was, it is totally separate from this issue.
I’ll cop to that: I believe in the LIHOP theory. I don’t believe in the MIHOP theory though.
Related note: an interpreter working on US wiretaps of officials communicating with Turkey has recently been allowed to speak publicly about calls she worked on in the summer of 2001, arranging an invasion of Iraq. Details are still sketchy, and may include both Republicans and Democrats.
Lol this made my day. Spelling Internet wrong is just priceless.
Really? I think you better get your vision checked..
I think VMalska didn’t mean to refer to spelling, but rather the convention to say “the Internet” about the internet that we currently use. The Internet is an internet. The capitalisation separates just any old internet from the Internet that actually exists and is in use.
So, yeah, impressive anal retentiveness on VMalska’s part, less impressive to refer to capitalisation as “spelling”.
Hmm, it may all be semantics, but when I I’m talking to someone about a website, I don’t usually say, “I found it on an internet.” As for capitalization, I don’t think I’ve ever done so. Of course, that’s just me.
Yeah. The difference between “the Internet” and “an internet” is usually only essential in uni courses on computer communication and the like. :p
Heh gotta reply. Why I referred to it as spelling is because due to writing “internet” instead of “Internet”, it totally changes the meaning and is definitely not the word intended. “i” instead of “I” is a different form of the letter, thus practically a different letter due to their divergent uses. I would still count “internet” instead of “Internet” a spelling mistake, just like I would count “george” instead of “George” a spelling mistake.
I an i is goin’ to come back from de grave an’ shoot down dis half-eediat for bein’ so chatty-chatty. He raas claat haad eaz!
Right. Looking it up as well as I could, I find it is common to call a capitalisation error a spelling error in English, so I do apologise for being an arse.
No woman no cry…
Cry? I only cry in joy, when things hurt enough. No risk for that here.
Depends on where you live. Little-i internet is considered standard in some circles in Australia (I’ve seen it on many news sites, for example).
…except there wasn’t an internet as such back then…
I invented the internet in 1938.
I thought Al Gore did
ya and bill clinton didnt have sexual relations with that fat chick too
She was merely big boned – and appreciated a good cigar
You know what would have impressed me? If she could actually smoke it like that.
yes, that would be impressive, but now I can’t get the image of her blowing smoke rings out of my mind
But there was an Inca Road.
I like how you begin and end your sentence with multiple periods. It’s almost as if you aren’t sure of what you’re posting.
Love it. Made me smile.
My favorite part of all of this site is just seeing all people argue back and fourth because it can get so ridiculous. (Not really so much this one, because I really hope to god no one thinks that it was a hoax..)
Especially in Republican/Democrat/Bush/Obama issues.
No laughing allowed until we’ve received your check. You think we do this for the fun of it?!?!
I’m just curious WHAT was blowing the flag on the picture. Moon sure is windy right?
MOON MAN FARTS
clearly
Lack of forceful gravity.
The flag was design with a vertical pole and a short horizontal pole at the top.
When the flag was opened it stayed open. Also the lack of gravity made it easy for the flag to remain upright.
Flag? I can see the thought bubbles blowing about, but I can’t see a flag. Am I going blind?
Not on this picture. The 1 that everyone knows. Where the flag is blown like on a windy day. I posted a link too with the picture but it got deleted.
Except that the whole “the moon landing is fake” thing started well before the internet.
My grandfather is apparently among those who think it was faked. *shakes head*
zomg thats like the funniest caption ive like ever read… innit
Much appreciated.
Although, not sure how to take all the posters taking the joke too seriously. But that’ll happen.
It’s already been proven that’s a picture of the Arizona desert with the 1960′s version of Photoshop applied to it.
My high school English teacher’s brother programmed the landing site for Apollo 11. His own mother thought the whole thing was faked. Not much of a supportive family.
it was fake, why havent they done it again, all the tec and stuff they could pop up and back in a week, they could open a starbucks by now
Lol that made me laught
Actually it’s true o.O
Because nobody cares about the moon anymore. Besides, why go back? It’s a giant dead rock. What else are we really going to learn about it?
I say, the conspiracy theory didn’t originate on the interweb!
And I hope someone from Parkes, Australia, ideally one of the crew that operated the giant dish that allowed the world to see the moon landing, lays the smackdown properly.
not even he would dare violate the sancitity of the slurpee machine!
You don’t want to know what the security cameras caught him doing to the slurpee machine.
well did you see how the slurpee machine was dressed? she was asking for it
She’s got a cold, cold heart, that slurpee machine….
well with a nick name like slurpee…bitter troll would give her a shot….dont tell charro
You had tablets? We had to scratch it out on the ground!
*is envious*
Ah, well it was a private school..
In my day, we just raided and pillaged information, then discarded the lifeless husks when we were done, and moved on to the next place.
