What’s up with all the people who say they "believe" that NASA faked the lunar landings? If it were just a few misguided individuals, that would make sense, because there’s always a few out there that can’t figure out how impossible it would be to accomplish such a coverup and choose to ignore rational explanations of what they consider to be evidence of a hoax, but it seems like there’s thousands or millions of them!

The only explanation is that the government is secretly trying to make it look like the average American is an idiot, so our enemies make the mistake of underestimating us. It’s a conspiracy, I tell you!
nrao_kid, you don’t recognize irony when you hear it. I’m making sport of the "fake moon landing" theorists by porposing that they themselves are a conspiracy. I never thought I’d have to explain it. You’ve inadvertently added credence to the theory, though.

I’ve found a lot of people who question anything the government does and thinks that everything the government does is a lie. As a result of their mistrust they are willing to believe what someone else says without question. I’ve found that to many of these people that if you question their beliefs its a personal attack and they attack back, but if you believe what the government says you can’t think for youself. Its an interesting situation considering many of these people don’t question the Conspiracy, just the event.
