Default Fake moon landings programme

Channel 5 is showing the imfamous piece of garbage that is Fox's fake moon landings programme this evening in the UK. I urge all UK forum visitors to watch it as it doesn't get much funnier than the preposterous claims made. If you thought Monty Python was funny, you ain't seen nothing yet folks!

There will of course be some poor soul, who watches it tonight, stumbles across BAUT forum tomorrow and makes their first post in the 'CT' section in this forum. Be on guard folks!!!

That show is what led me to this site. Besides that fact, a good laugh or a treatise on the gullibility of human beings, those are the only good things about that show.

A lot of the stuff they talk about makes sense. Which is why the layman can be persuaded so easily. I had to come here for some of the answers.

There was a different program on (I think) Channel 4 over here tonight, though, about how ridiculous the hoax-claims were.

Ahhh......balance.

Yes, I saw that. As well as the excellent Sky at Night special on BBC4 recently about the Moon. The Channel 4 (Horizon I think) gave some marvellous facts about the moon landings. The fact that Armstrong had to use nearly all the Eagle's fuel as they were in danger of landing in a crater for example. The bravery of those men is something I admire hugely.
