Vocal Minority Insists It Was All Smoke and Mirrors

It is hard to believe that there are people that try to deny that the astronauts actually walked on the moon. Some conspiracy theorists have even gone so far as to call the astronauts cowards, liars and cheats (which the video above proves will get you a punch in the jaw from Buzz Aldrin...click on the it to see the full video).

The New York Times posted an article on July 13th that addresses this topic. Read the NY Times Article Here.
Harrison Schmitt, the pilot of the lunar lander during the last Apollo mission and later a United States senator, said in an interview that the poor state of the nation’s schools has had predictable results. “If people decide they’re going to deny the facts of history and the facts of science and technology, there’s not much you can do with them,” he said.

“For most of them, I just feel sorry that we failed in their education.”
