Ken, at least get your Shakespeare right, if you can't understand anything about Apollo, which you clearly don't. The quote is "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." It does not mean that everyone's objecting, and therefore we know we're wrong, which is what people seem to think. It means that the person in question is swearing too many vows about something to be believed. In context, the Player Queen is swearing her love over and over to the Player King, and Hamlet's mother tells Hamlet, basically, that the fact that she feels the need to make the vow over and over means that she probably doesn't mean it.

Now, you may still think it applies. However, there's a very pertinent reason it does not. For all your apparent belief in blind faith around here, very few people have it. What you have instead is people who have looked at the evidence--I am at least glad that you know there was more than just Apollo 11!--and have found it equal to the claims. Several of our members have worked with technology pretty directly based on Apollo data. If it doesn't work, how do they do their jobs?

No, had the Player Queen just gone about showing her love instead of talking, Hamlet's mother could not have made the statement.
