Cowell,



You were right about the video. I just watched it and found it very interesting. I've said this before, I still don't understand why Fox would air a show such as this, so much of my effort was to see "how" they framed their discussion. However, at the 36 minute mark there was some very interesting information presented about the Van Allen Belts. It is very interesting and I have yet to hear any definitive argument stating how astronauts could have dealt with the radiation in their space suits and space craft.



One message that seemed to be repeated in the program was that NASA faked it in order to win the Space Race and it was due to the climate at the time that NASA found it necessary to fool the public and Russia. However, I can think of another maybe more sinister reason. I think it is entirely possible that it was done as a test to see just how much the public can be programmed to believe. And yet, this could also be a warning shot to Russia as well. It could show the former Soviet Union just how powerful our government controlled media could go in controlling our population.



That is only speculation on my part, so who knows? I certainly don't believe that Fox would go around encouraging people to believe in conspiracies, yet it is possible that as we gain more technology the average person could come up with some pretty solid analysis to show a hoax. A cover story would become very necessary if that is the case. We needed to win the Space Race would be an easy excuse for most people to believe now. And while I doubt our government would ever come forward and openly state it was a hoax, that excuse would allow anyone presented with compelling evidence for a hoax, an "easy out," so to speak.



Thanks Cowell for bringing this up. It is very interesting. I have to say, the one thing that always struck me was the lack of a blast crater, or even any sort of disturbance in the moon dust beneath the lunar modules. I remember thinking about that years and years ago.



However, back to JSF's statements, I think he may have been inspired to speak words for those who have ears to hear. Who knows, but I have a very hard time doubting words of apostles and prophets spoken at church.
