We DID land on the MOON ! (?)

Call me a supporter of conspiracy theorists, but this weekend, I happened to watch this video where Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins, members of the very first crew in the history, who are 'believed' to have successfully landed on the moon, were in a press conference right after the completion of the mission. The press conference has been tagged by the conspirators as-- "the most miserable press conference in the history". I am quite sure, many folks over here, are aware of the points that the conspiracy theorists have raised from the pictures, that NASA published of the astronauts conquering the moon. Click herefor details. Let's not delve into those points, however, I would like you to watch these clips of the press conference. A controversial journalist, Bart Sibrel, asks this question and look how the astronauts answer. SIBREL: I have two brief questions that I would like to ask, if I may. When you were carrying out that incredible Moon walk, did you find that the surface was equally firm everywhere or were there harder and softer spots that you could detect? And secondly, when you looked up at the sky, could you actually see the stars in the solar corona in spite of the glare? ALDRIN: The first part of your question, the surface did vary in its thickness of penetration somewhere in flat regions. [...] ARMSTRONG: We were never able to see stars from the lunar surface or on the daylight side of the Moon by eye without looking through the optics [i.e., the lunar module's navigation telescope]. I don't recall during the period of time that we were photographing the solar corona what stars we could see. COLLINS: I don't remember seeing any. Abject misery because of three weeks spent in quarantine after returning from Moon? and complete disdain for the worldwide publicity that has been forced on them, or is there another reason for there woes? Does their body language look like that of a person who made what seems like impossible, possible? You decide! It is also quite a unique piece of film and stands alone as an example of 'How to conduct yourself when giving a press conference!' Full video of the conference is available in YouTube . LooTe
