Check out this CNN.com poll I found recently. 40 Years on and this is how America perceives the greatest achievement of mankind. I really couldn’t believe this when I saw it. (CNN also ran an article on the persistence of the hoax moon landing conspiracy.)
14%? REALLY? More than one out of eight people?
If there really is a moon landing conspiracy and thousands of people are in on it as well as some of our nations most bloated bureaucracies, you really believe that Buzz Aldrin punched that guy in the face (see CNN clip below at the 2:45 mark) for nothing then by the transitive property one must also believe that NASA is could be so very clever that they actually flew a couple guys up there to plant some evidence and brought them home.
Ever wondered what would have happened if they didn’t make it home? The Smoking Gun is there.
Snopes has the skinny on this footage, but I added it for good measure.
This strikes me as really corny and poorly done. Make music, not films.

Asheville, described by CNN as a ‘liberal stronghold’ really turned out for Obama. The numbers I’ve heard are in the 28,000 zone. That’s huge for Asheville. Here’s a pic I got from up in the nosebleed section.

Let me take the minority view on this one. So… what if we do actually destroy the earth by building a machine of this power? Perhaps every intelligent species has had the technology to build such a thing without the corresponding ability to accurately model what it will do when they turn it on. Maybe we’re about there’s a cosmic corner that you just can’t peek around without taking a leap of ill-founded faith. There could be a point that all civilizations reach where they self-destruct because the laws of physics are bent too far by inexperienced hands, turning curious societies into a tragic stream of dead worlds. Maybe that’s why we’re “alone;” it’s because everyone else committed technocide.
I can’t wait for them to turn it on! I’ll throw a party!
