The moon walk debate with a twist

[proflight2000]

After all the fuss on the issue of did or didnt man walk on the moon, I watched a programme yesterday on discovery called conspiricy. Anyways they went through all the usual bits then right at the end they mentioned that a laser is fired at the moon from earth roughly around 250 times a year for mathematic purposes. What they also said was that this laser aims at 3 cones which were left on the surface by Apollo 11. Guess what, Everytime this laser issue is told to the people who disbelieve, they refuse to discuss it with the center that operates the lasers from earth.

Was a good programme, dismissed all the major issues where people say they didnt go due to shadows, flag waving, no stars ect

What was the reason for firing the laser? Are they measuring orbital changes?

[GazOC]

Are they measuring orbital changes?

Yep.

[beamish]

the moon's moving slowly away from the earth at around 30mm per year! IT WILL eventually break free and go off and do it's own thing. Spells disastrous effects for the planet, but don't worry we'll be long gone by then I'm sure.

Ah but who knows what will happen as we use more and more tidal energy - that's taking out potential energy from the orbital system so the moon might fly off sooner than we think!

Quick - lets build some more Nuclear Power Stations.................

Somebody has to stop them using that laser! Don't the fools realise there pushing the Moon away!! :shock:

[Kai]

Maybe if its hitting it at a angle it will cause the Moon to spin !

Look on the bright side if that happens we will have new targets to look at

What a cool idea! I'll disband the Save Our Moon focus group right away!

Err...anyone know where one might acquire a really BIG laser?

[Vega]

No more total solar eclipses, only annular...... :shock: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

No, but your giant paintball gun could help

Paintball gun? What paintball gun? I ain't got no paintball gun! Like I told Ron it's all lies mate.

Anyhow,it just made a gawd awful mess last time. Must be off,just remembered an urgent appointment in...Err..Togo or was it Chad,no Tierra Del Fuego...thats it..I think.......

See, it must be fake, because I don't think lasers were invented when the astronuts were supposedly on the Moon. :insects1:

From wikipedia so it must be true

The first working laser was demonstrated in May 1960 by Theodore Maiman at Hughes Research Laboratories

Cones on the Moon! Huh...It's a well kept secret that these so called "Laser Shoots" are in fact part of the Star Wars Incoming Neutralization Experiment.

S.W.I.N.E have been actively vaporizing parts of the Moon since the early 80's with an arsenal of ever more powerful laser weapons to the extent that the Moon has lost considerable mass!! This has affected oceanic interaction with the atmosphere here on Earth....

And that Guys is why we poor devils in the U.K. have seen nothing but clouds and rainfor weeks on end!

IT'S A CONSPIRICY I TELL YE!!

Who cares what they say? It's what I think that matters!
