... according to Stephen Fry on QI.

Can that be true? Does anyone here believe that man didn't land on the moon - and if so, why?

Well they wouldn't. It was the GPO in those days.
As an aside, has anyone seen the film The Dish? Gorgeous film.

Mojo. Never heard of it. Please tell me about it.
It's primarily about the part that a small Australian town had in the moon landings. They had an enormous receiving dish a la Jodrell bank. It's a sweet, funny and moving film. Here's the IMDB link.

Thanks mojo. :o)
Waddya expect of a generation mad on 2 bleedin marshmallows atop each other, even named it 'zingy' . At least the footies widened their mini brains with a visit to a concentration camp.
And now, because I'm a nightowl, I've just been reading the IMDB memorable quotes and....I'm gonna watch it :)
Tamborine, you are obviously a child of the Clangers and Bill and Ben, like me

Not being a night owl, bed beckons - but I'll catch up with it. Thanks mojo.

Night all. x
Night Naomi. Thanks for an interesting topic, even if it did get my gander up. :))
The technology to convince the Russians, and to keep on convincing everyone so many years later couldn't have existed then.

Our capacity for believing arrant nonsense is amazing - there are a great many US citizens who assert the literal truth of the Old Testament and deny evolution.

as for Mr fry, he has a programme to make - if his researchers said 90% of people believed we landed on the moon, it would never have reached the screen...
mojo - has your gander gone back to roost now? Geese are very exciteable, noisy creatures, aren't they?
Mrs 9401's uncle worked on the laser target devices back in the day. He ain't no fool.
theres loads of 'evidence' against that is very thought provoking... regarding the crosshairs etc

to blindly believe without checking it all out and making your own mind up makes people morons - not the doubters.

i tend to believe about 50/50 really .. i dont 'disbelieve' exaclty - but i'm also not 100% convinced having seen the evidence - both sides make good arguments
Maybe the recent close proximity (relatively speaking!) photos were fake too?

Ah well, only 47 per cent of Britons believe in God [Gallup 2004; don't suppose it's changed much since then]. Just thought I'd mention it.

Yes, man landed on the moon. There has been abundant scientific refutation of the supposed evidence that is used to support the opposite claim.Don't think the Russians were so bad at espionage, or at space or military technology, that they couldn't show that it never happened. They knew it did.
Oh for goodness' sake!
My film won't play, my gander is even more excited and they went to the blummin moon!
Ohhhh, forgive me Mark you were backing me up lol. I told you this was my pet peeve. ;)
That's all folks, MarkRae has spoken. I for one can't see the point of further bleating.

Could we get MarkRae as a panellist on the QI show?

What a double act he and Stephen would make.
The pictures that Mark showed are from the LRO that I mentioned earlier Venator.
