    Posting a decades long debunked conspiracy theory just isn’t a very interesting response.

      OP didn’t ask for interesting responses, OP asked for honest responses. Should I have been dishonest?

        No, you’re reply is perfectly fine. It’s just boring, so it will get downvoted.

            I think it’s working pretty well.

            But if you don’t like it there are frontend that hide/disable votes for you.

              I’m not saying that, just saying it takes me by surprise people would be so open about using it so personally.

        OP asked for scientific disagreements, not geopolitical conspiracy theories that are readily disproven in a number of ways, including all the still living people who saw it with their own eyes.

          If my answer wasn’t a scientific disagreement, what would you call it?

            A conspiracy theory, what would you call it? Because you’ve provided zero scientific facts that you disagree with, nor any scientific background for your claims. It’s just simply “I don’t believe X happened.”

              I said “I don’t adhere to this having happened.”

              Everyone else says “I do adhere to this having happened.”

              That’s called a disagreement.

              The disagreement in question is whether or not there was a moon landing in 1969.

              You also say I’ve provided zero scientific facts that I disagree with.

              Is the moon not scientific?

              You also say I’ve provided no scientific background.

              First off, you can’t prove a negative, and second, there’s as much history involved as there is science.

              Also, nobody said you couldn’t also call it a conspiracy theory, though I’d wonder how you define those.

                No, you’re disagreeing with a historical event in living memory, not a scientific claim. You’re purporting a political conspiracy. As in, you believe that the US government has conspired to fake an accomplishment, and the rest of the world was either duped or complicit.

                There’s no scientific disagreement whatsoever here. If there is, spell it out for me. What scientific claim are you disputing? “The moon is scientific” is meaningless. So is literally everything if you want to spin it that way.

                  I think both the fact a lot of us are discussing science here and the fact it was on Mythbusters proves it’s silly to say it’s not of a scientific nature to mention it. It’s certainly more scientific than many of the other things on this list, such as humans fighting grizzly bears and mothers co-sleeping with infants.

                  Or to put it another way…

                  in living memory

                  You remember being on the moon? Or are you saying you remember it some other way and that doing so invalidates me like it’s the same thing?

                    So I ask again because all you can do is deflect: what scientific claim do you disagree with?

                    While you’re at it, Google the phrase “in living memory.” You just can’t help but make up anything that suits your argument, can you?
