As a layman, the best argument I heard against the "The Moon landing was faked" argument was that so many technically skilled people around the world would have had to be complicit in it, since they were monitoring the craft/capsule and the signals being sent back. And most of the people would have had no real reason to lie, and since the USA, like any powerful nation, had lots of enemies, then if they had faked it then many countries would have shouted it from the rooftops.*
exactly, thats the only fact that matters
RUSSIA
wouldve known they were faking it and told the world...with proof, they didnt, case closed. It was the cold war, Russia and the US were enemies, they were spying on each others every move. Russia wouldve have noticed.
Moon landing fakers would just say the cold war was a conspiracy concocted between them both so america could fake the landing...or some crap tho :P

yep. every argument has an equal and opposite re-argument.
maybe not so equal in some cases, but definitely opposite...

Well now if they scanned the stones of the hedge with an Xray, they'd discover they are full of age old baked beans and Branston pickle. Therefore they must have been placed there by Ailerons when they flattened the earth out. Well, the earth is flat and underneath it there are turtles all the way down.

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb!
Looking forward to summer in Somerset later in the year :)

Troposcatter uses the same frequencies and equipment as satellite TV, so they are probably the same thing, so we are just getting a bounced signal on our dishes.
Most definitely Ninja Baked Beans. How else do you think they'd get away with hiding in the henge for so long?
Well I was referencing the turtles, but there's definitely a market for ninja baked beans, it might be crap, but at least it's an original idea for a change :))
It said they were for decoration and for window washers to climb on.
I think they mentioned it as part of the new architecture but they are not particularly futuristic :)
Every function that satellites are supposed to do can be done with towers
There was already a global navigation system that used only about 8 towers in the 60's
Every function that satellites are supposed to do can be done with towers
So what?
Are you trying to present that as evidence that the Earth is flat since it doesn't need to be a globe for the satellite communications we all rely to work? :-/
Y’all know that there are various different orbits that various satellites use, don't ya? Not all satellites use a "fixed" geostationary (geosynchronous) orbit (where the satellite appears to be in the same position in the sky). Linky to the gory details.... :D For geostationary satellites, once the station-keeping fuel runs out they are often operated in the inclined-orbit-operation.

And just when you thought the human race couldn't get any stupider (or attention seeking idiots couldn't sink any lower into the sea of stupidity), then you read this:
"Italy woman marries herself in 'fairytale without prince'
An Italian woman has married herself in a ceremony complete with white dress, three-layer wedding cake, bridesmaids and 70 guests.
"I firmly believe that each of us must first of all love ourselves," said Laura Mesi, a 40-year-old fitness trainer. "You can have a fairytale even without the prince."
But Ms Mesi is part of a growing trend for self-marriage - dubbed "sologamy" - in countries around the world.
Proponents of such ceremonies say it is about self-love and acceptance, and claiming the social affirmation normally reserved for couples who wed."
And yes, the headline really did read "Italy woman marries herself in 'fairytale without prince'", and not "Italian". If only the BBC's news reporting faults were all as innocent as poor proofreading".
Human stupidity, so it'll probably be added to until it crashes the internet.
If you seriously didn't know (or didn't want to believe it, in which case I know how you feel), there are some people who genuinely claim that the world is flat, and offer all sorts of 'proof', such as 'facts' that they've never bothered to check, theories that contradict accepted and observable science, and accusations that we're all being lied to by our leaders, who all know the world is flat but want us to believe otherwise, for whatever reason.
There are all sorts of conspiracy theories of course, such as Roswell and the aliens, JFK's assassination, Marilyn Monroe's suicide or murder, did the American government know in advance about Pearl Harbour, and to me there are two well known ones that I do think carry real weight (Princess Diana's murder, and the American government knowing in advance, and allowing if not planing and carrying out, 9/11). But the flat Earth 'theory' is so obviously wrong that it's very difficult to see why anyone would believe it, or even consider it.
and to me there are ones that I do think carry real weight - the American government knowing in advance, and allowing if not planing and carrying out, 9/11
Oh FFS!
I think you are guilty of failing your own stupidity test....

So the entire (flat ;-) ) planets male population has dodged a bullet by not being able to marry that narcissistic bitch. Unless she divorces herself of course.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/269878189_Troposcatter_Communications_for_Intercontinental_TV_Transmission
They were discussing how troposcatter could be used to transmit TV across the whole earth in 1960
Life magazine talked about the same thing in the 50's and also predicted iPhones
https://books.google.com/books?id=tVYEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA143&lpg=PA143&dq=troposcatter+tv&source=bl&ots=qx_vx4u-xZ&sig=eGe-dnLjnQV0zIEw5ziHHbkhmWg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjw-NjIy8bWAhXD4SYKHd-iCjk4ChDoAQhcMAk#v=onepage&q=troposcatter tv&f=false
There is a New Scientist article called 'Coronation Street for the Rhine'
Where they talk about Coronation Street being beamed over to Germany from England by these troposcatter towers and recieved with dishes.

what are those predicted golden hoop things all about though, I dont even understand what theyre supposed to be for, or how theyre even futuristic.
I think they mentioned it as part of the new architecture but they are not particularly futuristic :)

Heh, I read that wrong.... ahem...
