This film is one of my favorites. Mostly because Iam a huge Hal Holbrook &Elliot Gould fan.
When the Moon hoaxer group get going, especially the guy who wrote the first book on the subject so long ago- I always think of this film. What if???
Do you believe the moon hoax theory or have you seen the film and if so, what do you think??

NO O.J. JOKES PLEASE.

OJ jokes? I don't get it.

Personally, I believe that we landed on the Moon. Several times.

I never saw the movie, but I have heard quite a bit about it. Perhaps I shall watch it one day, but not very soon.

If you have no clue as to the movie and to the oj reference, why bother to post?
Oh, I know, so you can insult other topics thats it. Please do not see the film ever, you would not get it.

I posted my opinion on that.

If you can only post insults, then please...go to bed instead.
I did not insult you with my post and I will not tolerate being insulted by you.

O.K. daddy, i will go to bed. You will not tolerate being insulted? Jeez man you better leave the planet on the next rocket out of here. Your skin is tooooo thin.

I can't help but feel I've missed something here...oh well, haven't seen the movie either, but I'll put it on my to do list, quite a long one as is, but still...

You must see is soon, I cant believe you have not yet. Telly Savales plays the funniest wackedout cropduster. James brolin and OJ can even act when they try. Its GREAT!!

Sorry, I know that you wanted no OJ jokes, but I could believe in alien abductions before I could believe that OJ can act.

Please go here and take the time to read this site. The man behind this is an engineer, a rocket scientist. In order to look at the moon landings from an informed, educated point of view one needs to know the facts, the science behind the Apollo program. If you do this then it becomes infinitely clear that we did indeed go to the moon... several times.

Or, you can just watch Hollywood fiction and post snarky comments towards those who take a rational, informed position.

-romoved post for flaming. Chunga please read the PM I sent you and refrain from posting in all caps. It is both rude and annoying.

Chunga, what is your problem? You asked if people believed in the moon hoax, if they had seen the movie, and what they thought of both, and the second anyone answers, you start accusing people of being insulting, and then sending out insults yourself.

Rykster said that he had never seen the movie, and that perhaps he should watch it, and you snap back that he is here only to insult your thread and that he shouldn't bother to see the movie because he would not 'get it' (implying he is too stupid or too close-minded to understand what the movie is about, apparently). He states that he did not insult, which he did not, that you insulted him, which you did, and you say he is thin-skinned, along with a childish little comment.

Lilly posts a site supporting what she believes of the moon hoax (which is what you asked), and you respond "GO DIG UP AN OLD BONE FIDO. I DONT WANT FLEAS IN MY THREAD. RUFF,RUFF. UGLY DOG PHOTO ANYWAY. disgust.gif tongue.gif disgust.gif"

You have made it quite clear that you are not interested in anything other than your own opinion. Why bother making a public thread if, anytime someone posts something other than what you wish to hear, you will do nothing other than verbally attack them?

Frankly, I'm beginning to think that the verbal attacks actually are the activity desired by chunga. I refuse to buy into playing this little game.

Thanks for the site Lilly. Very good science.

To those who choose to misunderstand the topic focus. Too bad.
To those who enjoy the film and its allegations, welcome aboard

Those who negate my post's have no clue to the threads I post on and hence know little of my nature and so it goes. BLA , BLA, BLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand you are a churlish troll... JMO

No joke...

Capricorn One is a Hollywood movie. It is fiction, not documentary. It is filled with flaws, as almost all Hollywood movies are, especially those regarding technical matters, protrays a hoax about a Mars landing, which is entirely controlled by the producer and director of the movie, and is fairly low-grade entertainment.

What if? Well, let's just put it this way: it's entirely possible to craft a hoax in a Hollywood movie. Easy in fact. Much is not considered in Hollywood about the real difficulties involved with such a thing. A hoax couldn't have been perpetrated in reality, which is fairly obvious to the educated in these matters.

I think the film is a B movie at best, and doesn't portray anything plausible in reality. Hollywood fiction is not a source for intelligent people to draw any inferences or consider any possibilities associated with physical reality. Even 2001: A Space Oddysey, one of the finest science fiction films ever made, is loaded with artistic license and technical inaccuracy for dramatic effect.

And you ask that question using the "B" word, as so many people do without understanding the implications of "belief". Belief is conjectural. It implies faith. It does not imply knowledge.

People who "believe" in the moon hoax have, by and large, little knowledge. People who know we went to the moon can be secure in their knowledge. After all, there is no evidence to support a moon landing hoax, and, curiously enough, vast amounts of evidence to support every tiny and not so tiny aspect of what we did during the Apollo program.

It is the most documented scientific / technical project in history. Thus, to "believe" it was faked shows a certain degree of intellectual laziness and lack of discrimination.

That movie, for a knowledgable person, produces some humor, even a laugh at times, but nothing more.

Thank You Mr. Armstrong, you can go back to your seat now.

You're welcome, despite your rather childish attitude toward those who tell you the truth about things.

I am not sure if you are aware of this or not, but caling someone "Mr. Armstrong" would generally be perceived as a compliment, as the actual Mr. Armstrong is quite a person, possessed of a humility and character that is rare in today's society, especially in people who have accomplished things such as he has.


Now, you asked a question, "What do you think?" And , I answered you, based on my particular perspective as one who was somewhat involved with the whole Apollo thing, and who knows how difficult, how intense, and how sucessful it was...as well as someone who knows how simplistically banal a movie like Capricorn One is.

But it seems you only want people to respond who are with you in accepting the premises and allegations implicit in some Hollywood B-movie fiction. If that was the case, why did you not ask only for responses that supported you, rather than make imbecilic comments to those who answer you with a modicum of intelligence?

Would it be because you're incapable of taking-in an opposing viewpoint with any maturity?

The bottom line is, you seem to want to believe that Apollo was faked, if I'm not mistaken.
How about presenting some thing that supports that contention?

Thanks again, for the association with Neil.

Personally, I'd be interested in seeing some evidence that supports the moon landing hoax. I've yet to see anything that can hold up to scrutiny in support of this notion.

Anytime MID = MIND IN DEEP FREEZE!!!!

So, it appears that you will, as is a pattern with many HBs, simply ignore the substance of all posts and resort to childish insults?

You can discuss your concerns or not, but it makes little sense to sit there and do nothing but illustrate what only appears to be a lack of intelligence or substance.

It really makes you look sad, and a might immature.

I'd also be concerned about the insults you like to dish out, as they are bereft of intelligent commentary on the substance of the message they are intended to address. Such avoidance of answers to questions, and lack of decorum, can get you banned on many forums. Something to consider.

The point of a forum is to encourage discussion. Is this your idea of discussion?
If so, you seem to be in the wrong place...

Why do you pay attention to this troll anyway. Let him consume hinselfs in his own ideas, and ignore him.

That's actually a her, and it appears she has nothing to say (she never did, really).
Just trying to find out where this sort of immature attitude comes from in an adult...it's a matter of curiosity really, nothing more.

Ok, feeling stupid here. What is a "HB." My curiousity is killing me.

HB="Hoax Believer". Used here to denote those who believe in the moon landings being hoaxed. People like, *cringe* Bart Sibrel.

Ching Chunga'

I was going to take a look at the movie you said, but after reading your worthless responses to the previous posts, I won't bother.

scoobysnack, there is absolutely no need to post pictures of that nature on this board. dont let me see it again
-UA

Please don't let Chunga deny you watching this movie. It's an oldie, but a goodie. Possibly one of the few movies in which O.J. actually did a decent job, and a hilarious part done by Telly Sevalas towards the end.

careful with the pix, I don't want to see a thread closed before it's time...even if the pic is humerous...

Mediocre 1978 conspiracy flick, transparent plot, average acting...

A NASA Mars mission won't work, and its funding is endangered, so they decide to fake it just this once. But then they have to keep the secret...
