The belts surrond [sic] the earth at so many miles up the space station is in orbit below where the belts start
Nope. The ISS regularly passes through a region of the belts called the South Atlantic Anomaly.

"When a reporter called Buzz Aldrin a liar he punched the reporter in the mouth."
I don't blame him.
By way of comparison: I'm an IT professional, and as such, I hold a number of industry certifications from CompTIA, Microsoft, Dell, and Apple. Getting those certifications required hundreds of hours of study and thousands of dollars for study materials and exam fees. I remember one guy asking me once, "Do you really have those certifications, or is it all bulls?" I am not a violent person myself, but when he said that, literally the first thing that went thru my head was an image of myself punching him in the mouth. I was highly offended. I can only imagine how Aldrin must have felt about being accused of lying about an accomplishment that was obviously far, far more challenging than anything I've ever done.
Also left out of the story, by the way, is that when the reporter, Bart Sibrel, first accused Aldrin of lying, Aldrin simply got up and walked out of the interview. Sibrel then followed him and continued to harass him again, Aldrin tried to withdraw. Sibrel finally cornered him and left him with no avenue of escape, then initiated the assault. Aldrin punched him in self-defense. Frankly, I think his response was pretty restrained, and apparently the State Attorney's office agreed, since Aldrin was never charged with a crime. -

You need to go back to school and learn basic math and science. 1/6th gravity doesn't mean the physical size changes to 1/6th, but the 'weight' of an object does. If you were standing on the moon, you would weigh 1/6th of what you do now but your height wouldn't change. You'd still be as tall as you are now and just as misinformed. -

Of course the moon landings are fake. If we landed on the moon 40 years ago, then why can't we do it again in 2009? Because NASA still hasn't figured out how to safely land on the moon.
Do you think that NASA has the same budget they had in the 1960s? Well, they don't.

Stupidity on this level truly amazes me. Here's the thing - the satellite in orbit around the moon right now has imaged the landing sites just a couple of months ago. It's even picked up the tracks the astronauts made in the dust. These photos are being examined by scientists all over the world and are also in the public domain - and none have been shown to be anything other than genuine photos. Kind of kills the moronic argument once and for all.

Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC)!! HALLEH-FREAKIN'-LOOYAH!!!!!
Now maybe all the nut cases will shut up for awhile. The latest image of Apollo 12 landing site shows the LM decent stage clearly with shadow, the Surveyor 3 in the crater right where it was supposed to be and Pete Conrad's and Al Bean's tracks. Very cool pictures actually.
Look here:

Dear Hap;
Very good point there, Sir.
Here's what (I believe) got
this all started to begin with,
as I used to live in La Canada
where many of the JPL folks do
and had 'first hand' knowledge.
Were the Moon "landings" faked??
In a word NO. Our spacecraft and
Astronauhts walked on it as well.
Various "Ham Radio" stations heard
it & recorded (world wide) the audio
at the time. This could NOT ever
be "faked".Were the Moon "landings" faked in
photographic image?? I'm sure
some were, for a variety of reasons.- Actual photos distorted, damaged,
lost, or destroyed by accident. - Photos were inhanced/altered for
the creation of foreign propaganda. - Photos were altered for the purpose
of "national security" etc. - Photos were altered/created for a
variety of presentations to Congress
to gain funding for the program.
The two topics are different.
The film titled; Capricorn One (1977),
was for entertainment only and was a
story to make money for the Producers.
"That's all folks"; Buggs Bunny.
Happy trails to all - Actual photos distorted, damaged,

Yes, they landed on the moon. Any amateur astrologist with gear could track the ship. They also left a retro-reflector on the surface of the moon that people and universities all over the world began using immediately.
And the arguements saying "well why haven't we been back?" is stupid. Not only because they went back lots of times, butI've been to Sweden once, but I'm likely never going to go back does that mean I've NEVER been there? No, of course it doesn't.
