The number of things Sam Colby is confused about would fill a warehouse.

Whereas the cry of the conspiracy theorist is to take every conspiracy claim at face value, the cry of the debunker is for people to objectively verify everything that is claimed (this goes for claims on both sides). Conspiracy theories depend on intuitive but false assumptions, if you dig around too much they fall apart, thus CTers must instill fear in their followers that they should not trust or listen to anyone who disagrees with them (they're all paid shills afterall...) A good debunker knows that no falsehood can stand up to the light of critical scrutiny forever, so there's nothing to fear when it comes to CTers. If someone makes a claim, check it out and find out if it's true or not. A good debunker knows not to believe ANY claim regarding Apollo, JFK, 9/11, or whatever, until it withstands critical scrutiny, and this scrutiny goes for both sides of the argument.

These pics were taken at Langley? That is strange. EspeCIAlly considering you know what else is based out of Langley! That spells conspiracy with a capital CON!

Wrong Langley, as I'm sure you know. For those who don't, the CIA headquarters is in Langley, Virginia near Wahington DC. NASA Langley Research Center is in Hampton, Virginia - over 200km away.

Yep, everyone makes that mistake. It's a good half-day's drive from CIA headquarters to the NASA facility.

It's always amusing to hear people talk about the "secret" gantry crane at NASA/Langley, when in fact a major highway runs right past it. Why would anyone try to fake moon landing photography in suburban Virginia in plain sight of thousands of commuters?

Hah! Not when you use the Area 51 element-115 alien space/time warp device.

Here's a report on the Langley facility. Nothing mysterious. BTW published in 1967.
