I went through those questions, and all but one of them I've seen answered here before. Heck, #24-31 aren't even questions. They are just some of the standard claims made by hoax believers, some of them ridiculous and others downright insulting. If you want more questions to ask, move on down into the conclusion.

As for the one that stumped me, it stumped me more for the blatant nonsense it expresses than anything else. I also haven't ever heard of it before now (and small wonder). Here's the quote:

Quote:
2) The pure oxygen atmosphere in the module would have melted the Hasselblad's camera covering and produced poisonous gases. Why weren't the astronauts affected?
Where did this idiocy come from? No supporting evidence, no explanation. Just a wild claim thrown out without backing or logic. Why would anyone make a casing out of a substance that reacts poisonously in an oxygen atmosphere? And even if they did, why would they carry one on a mission with just that kind of environment? I can hardly even believe that anyone would try such a flimsy story.

This has got to go into the funniest hoax claims thread. I'm headed over there to post it now.
