Default Proof of aliens

The plaque on the LEM Apollo 11. Here men from the planet Earth first set foot on the moon. July 1969, A.D.

"WE CAME IN PEACE FOR ALL MANKIND."

Who were they directing this at? There must be something to the moon being inhabited.

The plaque was intended a bit as a historical marker, as you might see at the site of a famous person's house. Sure, it would be useful to Others if they found it, but I don't think that's the real reason.
Think about that time in history. It was chaotic and there were a lot of wars. I think it was a message to Earth, showing what we can do when we use technology for peace instead of destruction.

SLF:JAQ SFDJS, are you serious? Do you really think that is some proof of aliens? And since you put it in the CT forum, do you think there is a conspiracy to hide this?

KaiYeves answered it. It was a nice thing to take pictures of for the people back home. I'm sure the tourists to the moon in 2137 will love it too.

Yeah, and all those visitors' plaques left on Titanic's wheelhouse floor are for the fish to read.

JayUtah!

SLF:JAQ SFDJS often pretends to be rationale. Yet, keeps the air of innocence and mystery to stay out of trouble.

Rather than confronting issues, debating with logic or good reasoning skills, he drops a load then runs and hides. When questioned enough about it he magically reappears and says, "Huh? What? Who? Me?!"

This is the most ludicrous claim I have seen yet. I guess next is the Pioneer plaques...

And the secret plaque on the Apollo 12 lunar module reads, "PLEASE VISIT OUR OTHER LOCATION IN MARE TRANQUILITATIS."

If it was intended for space aliens, why wasn't it written in Alienese?

Yep, I predict this is the last we'll see of him in this thread.

Not the fish. The aliens. Didn't you see The Abyss?

I don't know if anyone else will find this interesting, but back in 1969 I wrote a short story on this very theme. A group of alien explorers found and correctly understood the message on the plaque, which they found very moving... because they had already discovered that the Earth was desolate after mankind destroyed itself.

I wish I still had a copy of that...

13. Alternative Concepts and Conspiracy Theories

If you have some idea which goes against commonly-held astronomical theory, or think UFOs are among us, then you are welcome to argue it here. Before you do, though READ THIS THREAD FIRST. This is very important. Then, if you still want to post your idea, you will do so politely, you will not call people names, and you will defend your arguments. Direct questions must be answered in a timely manner.

People will attack your arguments with glee and fervor here; that's what science and scientists do. If you cannot handle that sort of attack, then maybe you need to rethink your theory, too. Remember: you came here. It's our job to attack new theories. Those that are strong will survive, and may become part of mainstream science.

Additionally, keep promotion of your theories and ideas to only those Against the Mainstream or Conspiracy Theory threads which discuss them. Hijacking other discussions to draw attention to your ideas will not be allowed.

If it appears that you are using circular reasoning, depending on long-debunked arguments, or breaking any of these other rules, you will receive one warning, and if that warning goes unheeded, you will be banned.

As with the other sections of the forum, we ask you to keep your topics about space and astronomy. We will close down any thread which doesn't have anything to do with space and astronomy immediately.
SLF:JAQ SFDJS - this is an official warning. Stop the hit and run posting. Either put up some documentation or next time you start a thread proposing a conspiracy theory without supporting documentation you will face a long supension.

And it was the fish who stole Ballard's original one.
I hate you, fish.

I've alway found that the proof of aliens to be about 75.

Of course, that really depends on how long you let them ferment.

So the real reason for Apollo was to start a lunar franchise? Now there's a real conspiracy!

BTW, back in 1986 there was a proof of Aliens, but it was spoiled by the processing lab.

I haven't seen any aliens since I quit drinking Mad Dog.

Yes, there is something to the Moon being inhabited. It was inhabited on the following dates:

07.20.1969 to 07.21.1969
11.19.1969 to 11.20.1969
02.05.1971 to 02.06.1971
07.30.1971 to 08.02.1971
04.21.1972 to 04.24.1972
12.11.1972 to 12.14.1972

Strangely, these dates coincide with Apollo missions 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17.

I think it's funny that his/her implication is usually some sort of HBism...

Yet this thread is premised on Apollo occuring "as advertised".

hi SLF:JAQ SFDJS,

you're absolutely right. There must have been sentient beings capable of reading 20th century american english and the Moon was indeed inhabited by that time by extraselenoids - they came from planet earth.

Greetings
