Everything in that video has been debunked subsequently. Go to a library, man.

All lies, and with no real solid proof, no blast in or blast out site, I mean come on.. why would you think it's true?
I'm sorry - are you disapproving of my using a wiki source? I wasn't meaning to use it as any authority, merely point you in the right direction.

Would you rather me have used any of these:

instead?

I'm only going to show you the door... you can kick your own ass through it.

As far as blast craters go, there was none to be expected. Read up on the physics of the lander sometime instead of just reading other people's thoughts. The lander's engines were in an environment much more similar to a vaccum than on Earth - which caused a much larger area of dispersal.... that and the lunar soil is also nearly as compact as rock - exemplified by the drill that got stuck on Apollo 15. There was a significant amount of scatter - as just about any video of any landing shows you.

Insofar as irrefutable proof, there's also the matter of several independent agencies picking up transmissions from the moon during the lunar landings of the 60's, independently verifying our presence there... same as they did when Russia first crashed a probe into the lunar surface a few years before we landed.


Especially with the modern bowl of crapola we're being served, I understand the tendency to be hesitant in believing everything we're told...

But you conspiracy nuts are barking up the wrong tree on this one - and doing so in matters such as these only serve to discredit you on topics you might have a better understanding of.

You're loosing street cred with anyone with half a brain here, imho.
