Myth Busters on Moon Landing: Is it a Hoax or Real?

August 29th, 2008

If you are a sci-fi fan and fellow nerd, you know that we really landed on the moon. But people have been arguing that it was a conspiracy all along. Well, Myth Busters, a show on cable network somewhere (I think it’s on Discovery) proved that it’s real! Now go and weep!

Gizmodo, my favorite gadget blog site, reports and shows some video clips.

1. They proved boots can leave footprints on dust in vacuum surrounding.
2. Momentum alone will keep the flag waving in a vacuum (no wind needed)
3. Retroreflectors were left on the moon and they shot a laser at it to get signal back

So read and weep you conspiracy losers!! I guess those same people will move onto work on how to make Mars landings a hoax!
