More Evidence Moon Landing was Faked

[skid]

It is usually good to question things. If, however, you question everything, you spend your entire life questioning and not actually doing anything. Indeed you may enter into the mode where you start to question even the questions that you're trying to question, and you end up in an infinite regression, and become a drooling madman rocking gently in the corner.

I saw the article originally posted over at lewrockwell.com, and read it. Then did a few google searches and found a vast multitude of articles answering every single one of the supposed indicators of it being a hoax. Frankly, on this one I'll go with it not being a hoax. I admit that I might be wrong, but I estimate that to be an extremely low probability.

Also, you may note that the writer of the article is given as "Morgan Reynolds is professor of economics emeritus, Texas A&M University, and a former chief economist in the U.S. Department of Labor." An economist writing on space exploration reminds me of several doctors and surgeons I've met, who assume that because they are excellent doctors they must necessarily also be fantastic sailors of yachts, or excellent rock climbers, without having to learn much about those activities. Sadly, the libertarian movement is full of economists who think that all of human behavior is solely economic, and thus they remain ignorant of any other type of motivation for human behavior, which leaves them wondering why so many of their theories aren't occurring in reality.

After consideration, I have removed lewrockwell.com from my bookmarks. Life is too short to waste time on a site where such lunacy (if you'll pardon my pun) is given any credence. Indeed, I also considered removing this site from my bookmarks, but then I thought that the very reason it may have been written and spread around is to get people to stop visiting sites like this, even when other threads and people are discussing other information that is quite valuable. (I do not know that this is the reason, and I am not trying to make an attack of any kind on the original poster of this thread... but we're supposed to question things, right?)

But oh, don't worry, I'm an extremely infrequent poster; I'm probably part of a conspiracy or something. Pay me no mind.

OK, so bring up your strongest evidence from the vast multitude of articles you found answering the the questions raised in this article. My mind can always be changed if the evidence is strong enough. You spent some time writing your post, surely you could spend a similar amount of time refuting the article...
