I don't think it's the same person... the Moonman that visited here was equally ignorant, but not that hostile or rude. True- this guy doesn't seem misguided, more confrontational. But claiming to be MM is just... weird

I just learned that the Apollo 13 LM is in the Smithsonian, and that a spacecraft is always pointed in the direction it's pointed. I even learned that NASA didn't install a camera on the CM that permanantly faced the Earth because people would know they were in LEO! And there was no way to fit moon rocks inside the ascent stage! And that using the thrusters to yaw left or right would have crashed the spacecraft into the Moon! Seriously, what the flying f**k?

Seriously, what the flying f**k? Making up your facts as you go along only works as a debating tactic if your opponents are equally ignorant. As the ongoing Loose Change moon hoax thread shows, the ones who try this technique start looking very silly if they come up against knowledgeable opponents.

I just learned that the Apollo 13 LM is in the Smithsonian The LM in the Smithsonian is LM 2, a flight worthy but never man rated early production module. Lm 7 carried by Apollo 13 mostly burned up on reentry with the residue landing in the Pacific ocean.

None of these things are correct, where did you learn them from?

Just been reminded of that famous quote with multiple authors:
"Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time, and it annoys the pig."
It seems rather appropriate for the task of attempting to educate the die-hard hoax believers. Perhaps I get my kicks by annoying the pigs.

Just had another look at that unexplained-mysteries site. Moonman2 is claiming that heat doesn't radiate in a vacuum. Someone who appears to be one of their regulars rather than a refugee from here has replied:

The heat/vaccuum argument is very reminicent of our Moonman, trying for many pages to talk to him about heat transfer in a vaccuum etc...to no avail. He didn't read a dang thing we wrote...pitiful.

Maybe we have a "next generation" of HBs springing up. The try valiantly to raise new "issues", having seen the old hoax evidence being soundly thrashed. Unfortunately, without the slightest knowledge of Apollo or science, their new theories are ridiculous to the extreme...but they keep swinging away...

I've learned more about Apollo from debunking threads than I have from websites or books on Apollo. Not that I ever believed a word the HBs had to say.
