Float like an Astronaut, sting like a bee.


 
Forty years after Apollo 11, a surprising number of people still believe the Apollo lunar landings were a NASA-run hoax.
 
There are two ways to answer these conspiracy theory idiots:
 

Technique #1
The way the Mythbusters did
 
The Discovery Channel's Mythbusters examined the statments that critics maintain "prove" the landings were staged (e.g., flapping American flag in vacuum, non-parallel shadows).  They busted one after another (often using REAL science!).   see http://mythbustersresults.com/episode-104-nasa-moon-landing
 

Technique #2
The way the Buzz Aldrin did
 
On September 9, 2002, Bart Sibrel, a conspiracy theorist who believes that NASA faked the moon landing, confronted retired astronaut Buzz Aldrin (age 72).
 
"You're a coward," Sibrel told him to his face, "and a liar, and a ..."
 
He never got to finish his sentence. Buzz Aldrin answered him with a quick left jab to the jaw.
 
(The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office declined to file charges).
