And stop making this thread about moon landings. It’s about Antarctica & 24 hours of daylight every day for several months of the year.
No it wasn't. @Strong in Him mentioned it in passing while making a much wider point that you don’t investigate. You chose to pick up on that one point to use as yet another opportunity to deflect. It has been tolerated for a few posts now, but it’s off topic.I didn't start it, that was Strong.

How childish can you get
I've read it. His claims don't stand up to even basic scrutiny.OK check Bill Kaysing out
If you can be bothered to read it.
I've read it. His claims don't stand up to even basic scrutiny.
No, as per your signature I investigated whether his claims were true. I found that they were not. You can search back where either you or someone else posted your above link, and I posted the results of my investigation.You mean they don't stand up to your beliefs.

That's what the search function is for, but since I can't rely on you to do your own researchAnd where might this post be ?
You mean they don't stand up to your beliefs.
Kaysing doesn't even get the basics of the history of rocketry correct. Why should his lunacy about the moon landing - which is long on statements of impossibility but noticeably short on actual evidence - be taken remotely seriously?
We have been all but begging you to investigate our truth - that the earth is a globe.
As I'm not afraid of investigation and have been trying to engage and answer the things you write, of course I bothered to read it.OK check Bill Kaysing out
If you can be bothered to read it.
OK? OK, what?
Why? You're fobbing me off again.check Bill Kaysing out
Yes.I have investigated the globe, do you think I would be posting here if I hadn't ?
Calling you out on your mistake is childish?How childish can you get
As I'm not afraid of investigation and have been trying to engage and answer the things you write, of course I bothered to read it.
Here are my thoughts.
OK? OK, what?
OK You accept that you posted a poll which didn't say what you thought it was going to say - this was because you hadn't bothered to read it properly?
Why? You're fobbing me off again.
You are told that you could look through a telescope to see/confirm the shape of the earth, or at least, see something which pointed to a globe earth. Your response was "here is a book that someone else has written about the moon landings".
I would be quite entitled to say that because you haven't considered my suggestion, there is no reason why I should consider yours. As I said though, I have read it, or at least the first bit.
The Introduction.
In 1970, a newspaper story was published that said that 1,721 adults, in 6 cities, had been asked about the moon landings. Of those, a "substantial number" did not believe that men had ever been to the moon. We are not told how many people made up this "substantial number."
The article admitted that "no attempt had been made to reach a cross-section of the population" - which means that, for all we know, they could have asked 1,000 members of the Flat Earth Society, plus a few hundred children. Nevertheless, this seems to have been enough to convince someone - 3 years later - that "a substantial number of Americans" do not accept the moon landings.
How many cities are there in America? How many were in this "substantial number"? WHY was no attempt made to reach a cross-section of the population?
How the book came to be written.
1. The author worked, for 7 years, for the group that built the propulsion units for Apollo. Despite this, he had no interest in watching the moon landings. He "decided he did not believe that Armstrong etc was going to the moon."
How did he decide that? Did he talk to his bosses, to NASA or the astronauts themselves?
Because he had already decided this was going to be a hoax, he did not watch the moon landings, read any media articles or pay attention to follow-on flights. So he had already made his mind up before he saw the programmes and did not read related articles etc.
2. He wrote a long list of questions that he wanted to put to NASA, like, "why didn't the astronauts make some visible signal from the moon?"
How did he know they didn't if he didn't watch the programme? How many of his other questions could have been answered if he'd watched the programme and read published articles?
Chapter 1.
He seems to think there is some sort of cover-up based almost entirely on the fact that NASA has chosen not to make some documents public, and few people, apart from employees, have visited the labs.
Is that it?
Chapter 2.
He goes off on a tangent and lists other occasions when he believes the government covered something up or lied to the people.
Is this supposed to be proof that the moon landings were also faked?
I am not offering any further thoughts for the moment.
General impressions?
i) If this is a book, it was almost certainly self-published - no publisher would put their name to something so badly written which consists of little more than photographs and dozens of questions.
ii) it looks as though someone has scanned all the pages of this book so that other people can read them online. Isn't that a breach of copyright?
iii) The author has written about space and the space programme; you deny that space exists and that it is "just air". Is this another example of you posting something without first reading it? You saw the title and thought, "oooh, this is proof that men never went to the moon"?
YOU picked up on the moon landings;
It is very obvious that you have not investigated the globe. Otherwise you would be able to make your own arguments by referring to your own research. Instead you just link to other conspiracy theorists, effectively saying that whatever they say is true.I have investigated the globe, do you think I would be posting here if I hadn't ?
That's another cop out.This is not the appropriate thread to answer.
