Quote of the Day:
From the time, some tens or hundreds of years ago, that language invaded and colonized our cerebrums, we have increasingly lost touch with the reality of things. Reality has been replaced with relation, a mapping of things-as-they-are to things-as-we-believe-them-to-be.

all i can say about the moon landing is that every time someone does an interview with one of these conspirators, it looks bad. For example, in one documentary they interviewed a man who thought it was faked in his backyard which was full of junk and rusted metal, he looked like a hoarder. There was an 11 foot tall fence around it which I'm sure the neighbors put up. Now I think they should find a more credible source, but they can't because the moon landing probably wasn't faked. can't we just let neil rest? also i'm pretty sure they did not have photoshop in 1969. maybe they are touching up the photos today, which they would have to do for magazines which require higher resolution graphics.
the inspiration that neil created, however, is something that can not be faked and will outlive his conspirators. it must be hard growing old and not being able to reach some people....

If Europe had waited an entire generation in continuing the exploration of America after Columbus' initial discovery, I'm pretty sure a whole bunch of America deniers would have surfaced, claiming it was all a conspiracy perpetrated by the Spanish crown ;)
It's not the depth of the rabbit hole that bugs me...
It's all the rabbit SH*T you stumble over on your way down!!!

yes - but then again maybe they should have denied it considering all the natives they brutally enslaved :P

Here is the best thing I can recall about Kubrick and the moon landing. The movie The Shining was heavily laden with obvious but sly references to the Apollo program.
