Neil Armstrong convinced his trip to the moon was faked

SOH-CM-2025
Is there nothing sacred my friends? Neil Armstrong was convinced by a blogger's web page that the mission he thought he took to the moon was really faked by NASA.

He said that the Librarian's assistant has a real interest in engineering and science and has research the moon mission for years. So, according to Armstrong, who taught enginnering at the University of Cincinnati, this guy must be right.

Armstrong provided details on things which he didn't noticed during the trip that the blogger pointed out. Details which obviously convinced him he was wrong about his trip.

I have provided a link to the article, if you care to read all the horrible details

I haven't read the article yet, but I just find it so hard to believe... I mean, how do you go from punching a guy to buying into what he has to say?
 
Okay, Not assuming anything here, but if you ask me, this just sound completely sarcastic to me...

"That rippling is not possible in the vacuum of space," Armstrong said. "It must have been the wind from an air-conditioning duct that I didn't recognize because you can't hear a damn thing inside those helmets."
 
yer the Onion is a comedy paper, i have its feed direct into my facebook account. Often makes some very funny reading in a very dry witty way. Great stuff! :ernae:

Maybe Neil hit the guy before he read the guy's website? Afterward, he realized the guy was right?

:)
 
Lol guys...some of you are so gullible. It's a hoax, and it's already in the news that is.
 
I was informed by one of the contractors I worked with in Qatar, that the Moon landings were faked by the U.S., but that the USSR had in fact landed a man on the moon.

He also said that this was common knowledge, and that I was a victim of U.S. Propaganda.

This man was serious.....
 
Geez man, The Onion took off where Weekly World News left off. Dang I miss that rag, more laughs per page than MAD magazine!

In the words of Foghorn Leghorn, "It's a joke son, a joke!"

The Onion can be pretty entertaining, just don't believe a word of what's there.
 
Yeah...when you're in an Onion mood, nothing beats The Onion!
And, when the Onion takes a swing at something, it's a sure sign the original is absolutely rock solid. :d

Erm, this clearly is fake.
The Royal Family makes a point of never showing they are concerned.
The Royal Corgis are allowed a modicum of concern, though.
 
I guess I should have actually paid attention to whre the article was.... I must have not even noticed where the link took me..... Let that be a lesson for making it a point to outhousing under the influence.... :wiggle:
 
it suprises me how many people were not familiar with the onion.
many years ago when i was in the hospital, my cousin brought me an anual of their stuff.i laughed so hard i could hardly stand the pain of it.
 
i check the onion every morning...it's better than real news :) I've been reading it since '98...
