Care to prove how these rocks simply can't be found anywhere on Earth, considering we haven't even finished exploring our oen oceans?

There are satellite photos of the various Apollo landing sites taken from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which orbits the moon.
But someone who thinks the moon landings were fake generally already made it clear that anything short of sending them personally to the moon to inspect the landing sites won't count as evidence.
Which isn't an unreasonable point of view, "I'd have to see it to believe it." isn't unreasonable.
But since "it ain't gonna happen", any such debate is futile by definition from the start.

Nasa still claims we don't have a way to "get to the moon" not "return to the moon" if we had the technology already why not advance and re-use? Pure lies is all it is. The space race was full of crap, Russia & China have never gone to the moon do more space mission's then the U.S. does and have even clearly called the U.S. out on it's supposed moon visit, Yet I am the one who wears a tin foil hat, yours must be covered in rust, scrub it clean and come back when it's done.

Some people need to thrown in an ocean before they believe water is wet.

So far the only 'evidence' on the flat Earth claims I've heard is "The horizon is a straight line!" which to me seems like that statement comes from a small thinking mind, not necessarily a stupid person but someone who can't see past their self.
Lets give some pretty pictures for people...
Lets say you were standing on your 'flat-earth'... here it is now:
While this is a very crude and pixilated example imagine you're just a tiiiiny little spec viewing the horizon like the big thinking champ you are... Now lets zoom out a little bit to get a bigger picture...Watch what happens to your flat-earth...
-5x zoom:
Ok so with our view point changed we can see that there is a curve there!
Human beings are not big(tall) enough to see the curvature of the Earth, we are small tiny insignificant specs compared to the size of the Earth... and up close the earth may appear flat but if science tells us anything it's that mass attracts mass and nature finds the route of least resistance which in this case would be a sphere... a shape that has it's mass equally distributed on all degrees, not a coin shape or 'flat-Earth'.
Here's what the picture looks like when we zoom out fully:
Someone claiming the Earth is flat would need to bring to the table proof, not just a 2 dimensional photo that shows Earth or stating 'I can't see curvature'. Please don't start into that whole 'Aliens created the Earth' bit as once it crosses that line you can start making assumptions that the Moon is made of cheese.
To say the Earth isn't flat from your perspective is like an astronaut saying "There's no life on Earth because I can't see it from the space station.
Keep an open mind but not so open your brains fall out!Last edited by Phenom; 04-10-2016, 03:26 PM.

The world is a funny place where people try to make sure everyone agrees on things --- as if uniformity and group think are a good thing.
They aren't. Diversity in perspectives in a strength, not a weakness.
It is largely unique to the United States to be able to have any opinion on any topic and the freedom to express it.
Besides, holding a "group think" point of view is not necessarily thinking.
If you haven't considered the alternatives or don't know why you have a certain point of view or never questioned it ...
It really isn't your point of view, nor is it thinking ...Quakeone.com - Being exactly one-half good and one-half evil has advantages. When a portal opens to the antimatter universe, my opposite is just me with a goatee.

If the moon landings were fake (and if actually about this topic at all --- which I don't), I would offer 2 questions:
1) Why do the videos NOT show stars? They had sci-fi stuff in the 1950s/1960s like Lost In Space, Twilight Zone, etc. and common perception was that if you were on a planet with no atmosphere you would see stars.
2) Why would the government sponsor the high special effects budget of the jack-assery in this video?
I mean, if you have budget for film making, why would you let astronauts do really stupid shit that would be expensive?
I don't care one way or the other, and have no interest in the actual topic.
But contrary to the "conspiracy theory" point of view, which holds the "lack of stars" as the strongest evidence that the moon landings were fake, I hold that as the strongest evidence that the moon landings were real.
"Average joe" thinks there should be stars in the background. So why didn't Hollywood?
(I don't care about the moon landings. Nor Mars, which would be a suicide mission. I think space exploration is important, but it is fantasy we will have a moon base or a base on Mars or even a meaningful orbiting space station with people living on it.)

As for the earth, It's round. I believe that truly. I travel this country (U.S.) from coast to coast and border to border, all 48 states, to many thing's just driving tell you this earth is round.

The belt was discovered in 1958 way before we went to the moon and they knew then they could not get past it.
According to this guy what they did was plot a course mostly north of the Van Allen Belt, avoiding the most intense part, and only spent --- if I read it correctly -- 70 minutes traversing it -- to minimize the exposure.
And that a straight shot route would have been fatal.

I was saying if the moon landings were faked ...
Wouldn't you have stars in the background of a faked video? [since that is what people expect to see because of movies]Quakeone.com - Being exactly one-half good and one-half evil has advantages. When a portal opens to the antimatter universe, my opposite is just me with a goatee.
