That was awesome. Buzz has renewed his status as one of my heroes. I like the way Buzz stands his ground calmly puts something in his back pocket (maybe his glasses)tells the punk to step off then busts him in the mouth. Best laugh I’ve had in a while.
Mental note for reporters. It took a big set of hairy balls to go to the moon. You don’t step up on someone like that and call them out.
The saddest part is this. One of the experiments the Apollo astronauts did was measure the distance from the earth to the moon. The way they did this was the astronauts set up a set of mirrors on the moon. Then a laser beam from the earth was aimed at the mirrors which were arranged so they could reflect the laser back to the earth.
The mirrors are still there and a few years an astronomer used them to repeat the experiment, specifically for the purpose of debunking the conspiracy theories.
I hope nothing happens to Buzz for this. It will be a sad state of affairs if a man can publicly impude another mans honor and then call him a coward to his face, but then have legal recourse if he gets busted in the mouth. Certainly the founding fathers of this country would be on Buzz’s side.

Oh, come on, Pook. Surely you’ve been involved in enough religion threads on this site to realize that there is no idea too ridiculous for some people to believe… and to noisily reject all evidence to the contrary.
When the first photographs from the Apollo mission were shown, with the earth in the background, members of the Flat Earth Society were convinced that the lunar landing was a fake, because the photos showed the earth as a sphere, rather than a disc.

At the risk of being labeled a nutjob, I’ll admit I’m skeptical. Although I don’t put much stock in theorists who use the photographs as proof or disproof. A lot can happen with film and pictures. However, technology, and the lack of success since is why I have my doubts.

Hmm. Not bad. I prefer the expression “Shit-eatin’ cum-suckin’ boot-lickin’ drop-kickin’ gut-grindin’ nail-bitin’ glue-sniffin’ scab-pickin’ butt-scratchin’ egg-hatchin’ sleazy smelly puckerbelly lousy rotten stinkin’ freak”, myself.
But I would never use it to refer to my pal Pookie.
I think I gotta be the black sheep on this one.
#1–This WAS cool.
#2–You can’t just punch people for being dicks, in that case I probably would currently average approximately 10 people punched in the face daily. It’s called assault and it isn’t cool.
#2.1–Punching people that wear Che Guevarra shirts IS acceptable however.
#3–The guy was a douche and deserved it though.
#4–The proper way to handle a situation like this is to literally challenge this dick to a duel…then kick his scrawny ass.
#5–I’d have done the same thing Buzz did though. I’m a hipocrite, fuck you, wanna fight about it?

A photo is flat so it will show a sphere as a disc.
If anything, the flat earth society should have been thrilled.

Yeah, but the Flat Earthers’s conception of the earth is a single-sided disc bounded on all sides by an impassible wall of ice (that would be “Antarctica” for all us round-earthers), and with all of the continents and oceans on the same side of the disc. Imagine the globe on the UN flag and you’ve got an idea of the arrangement of the continents.
The moon and the sun are each about 35 miles in diameter, and they are both, along with all the stars, equidistant from the disc of the earth, roughly two miles away and attached to the “dome of heaven”.
Supposedly, their cosmology is based on the Bible. So it must be true.

I know some people will believe anything. I just couldn’t see how going to the moon would clash with someone’s beliefs. I forgot about the flat earth. Good thing the Book of Enoch is not canonical.
Damn, how could we miss that detail. The rest of the hoax went so well.

Ya better not. Anyway, I don’t bite my nails. You need nails if you want to be able to eat the crud underneath them.

Two miles? That’s what, about 11,000 feet? Not one of them has thought of flying an airplane up there and confirming?
I guess altimeters are also part of the vast “globe conspiracy.”
“We have nothing to sphere but sphere itself.”

Well geez! When you put it like that, it sounds about right.
Thats why planetariums are shaped like a dome too, huh?
