I guess the truth is the scientist have evidence and you choose to ignore them because you want to believe.

I would choose to ignore them because there are people who are first hand witnesses to he moon landings.
The men who actually went there.

Why don't you see what they have to say on the matter.
Some of them are even Christians. Do you think they are liars?

In some ways, their becoming religious could be said to be a reaction to the vastness of it all.

It must have been quite something to look back to the earth and realise everything of value to you was there on that small blue ball in the vastness of space.

I think it would put any issues in proportion.

I think I'd suffer from a huge case of homesickness.

Didn't one astronaut quoe from Genesis - "in the beginning . . . " - when he looked back at Earth from space for the first time?

Being they were American I would say they needed no religious revelations.

I think the possibility that the moon landings were fiction are virtually nil.

Be careful. Be very careful.

You are feeding Sassy with misinformation. In order for John Glenn to have walked on the Moon he would have needed very, very, very long legs. Legs about a quarter of a million miles long, in fact. Not only that, he would have to have been brought back from retirement.

John Glenn was the first US astronaut in space (although Sassy will probably tell us that no American has ever been into space). He never escaped Earth orbit, nor did he ever leave his capsule.

Does Magna Carta mean nothing to you? Did she die in vain?

My most sincere apologies for my error of fact!

Charles Duke became a committed Christian after his Apollo 16 flight, and is active in prison ministry.

After his retirement as a Colonel in 1972, James Irwin (Apollo 15) spent the next 20 years as a "Goodwill Ambassador for the Prince of Peace", stating that "Jesus walking on the earth is more important than man walking on the moon". He frequently spoke about how his experiences in space had made God more real to him than before.

Beginning in 1973, Irwin led several expeditions to Mount Ararat, Turkey, in search of the remains of Noah's Ark. In 1982, he was injured during the descent and had to be transported down the mountain on horseback. In More Than Earthlings, Irwin wrote expressing his view that the Genesis creation narrative was real, literal history.

I knew that at least one astronaut who had walked on the moon became a minister of religion.

Nah, he must have been telling porkies because Sassy says that some scientists said that the moon landings were not possible and Sassy agrees with them.
And if Sassy says something then it must be 100 percent, incontrovertibly accurate. So there!

Air rather than oxygen, as oxygen is of course poisonous.
Oxygen toxicity is only a factor at a partial pressure of about 1.3. Pure oxygen at sea level pressure isn't toxic. It is dangerous, however, as any spark could be dangerous, as Oxygen readily reacts.
I have an infinite number of belief systems cos there are an infinite number of things I don't believe in.

Sassy, who are these scientists you keep referring to please. From what I've seen the vast majority of scientists do not think the moon landings couldn't have happened.

You mean you are denying that it is a hoax and have never studied or bothered to make a search of evidence from both sides of the argument for and against.
Sorry! you just lost any credibility. Either do your research or refrain from making arguments you have not the knowledge to make decisions about.
We know we have to work together to abolish war and terrorism to create a compassionate  world in which Justice and peace prevail. Love ;D   Einstein

Any credible research would inolve seeing what the people who went to the moon had to say on the matter.
Some of them Christians who after their return actually preached the Gospels and witnessed for Christ.
Would you not think it a good idea to follow that avenue of research?
Unless of course you think that they are liars?

No that is not what I said, and just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean I have no knowledge on the subject. I have looked at both sides of the 'argument' and the vast majority of scientists do not think the moon landings couldn't have happened and the evidence presented by those who do think it a hoax can be shown to be incorrect or a misunderstanding.

You keep referring to scientists saying that the moon landings are a hoax and I asked you who it was you were referring to - if you are unable to support your claim it is you who loses credibility.

I doubt any credible scientist would regard the moon landings as a hoax.

Well that does depend doesn't it., was he susceptible to hypnotherapy?

Had you done your research that is any research you would have known  it has been suggested some were killed because they were not susceptible to being hypnosis.
So these men could easily have been hypnotised to believe they did go to the moon.

I thought you had read up on the subject. Above is the list of the 12 Astronauts who are said to have been/ walked on the moon.

Are you seriously going to try and move the goal post. Clearly, you were not aware of what had been said or why.

Maybe you should do some research and see what they had to say?
First hand accounts/ witnesses and all that.

But I never suggested he did. It was OWLSWING, I just asked if he had spoken about it since.
Owlswing alleged it, I just asked if he had spoken about it since. Why would anyone think that someone would remember all the names? Why would any honest person write the name of a person who never walked on the moon?
I guess when you are losing then you will say or do anything to protect your beliefs. But deliberate misrepresentation does not win an argument is simply shows lack of truth and ability to win an argument honestly.
You fell into your own trap. This one shows men change the truth in order to make others believe something happened it did not.
Isn't that what the moon landing and walks were also about?

WRONG!
  They tried to re-write science because the scientist proved the clothing and the spaceship could not protect them from the things they would encounter in space. Especially radiation... then they decided to make things up which Physicists
knew was wrong.

The main evidence has not been disputed/proved wrong that the rocket and clothing could not protect them at that time.

No credibility had been lost only mans own inability to prove that he cannot have his cake and halfpenny as well.
