Quote:Original post by Don Carnage When some conspiracy nut won't leave you alone about NASA not landing on the moon, you want to point out the big hole in his reasoning (e.g. point a laser at the moon, it will reflect because humans put a mirror there).
Such conspiracy about "false landing on the Moon " etc. seems me simply idiotism.It was confirmed many ways,including direct observations (during flight) by Soviet Union army radars(the part of near-Earth space control and missile atack alarm system).Be sure,communists will not keep a silence in case of such impudent false.
Now there's an argument in support of the moon landings that I haven't heard yet. If they were faked, the USSR would have made a big fuss about it. Interestingly enough, people in the US claiming the landings were faked were often dismissed as communist subversives, even though in reality they were far more likely anti-government paranoids.

As I remember,it was a TV-interview with former officer of so-called "missile-space forces" (in Russia there is no NASA analog,all work do the military mostly)

You mean they charge for publishing? It says nothing about the paper itself. But what I don't understand is why they don't send these samples to other chemists for study, and to confirm their report, or not.
