Has America ever landed on the moon

[Oneironaut]

Oh come on. You really think it was all just a big conspiracy? That all the pictures and videos were hoaxes? And the moon rocks too? And that the entire operation was never leaked by any of the thousands of people working on the project? Now I hate the government as much as the next guy and I don't trust them at all, but when there's so much evidence that they did what they did, I can't deny them this accomplishment.

It's not like they just sat down and said "hey, let's launch these guys to the moon"! It took a lot of testing, and people did die as NASA refined their technology (the Apollo 1 disaster, anybody?). The Gemini projects and Apollo 1-10 were entire missions performed just to prepare for landing on the moon. Do you think they were just fucking around and flushing our money down the toilet preparing for something they were going to fake anyways?

Let me ask you this: have you just been reading the conspiracy theorists, or have you also given some time to read some of the counter-arguments? Here would be a good place to start:

Every administration since Kennedy has been cutting the funding for NASA. Especially Reagan in his effort to outspend the Russians on nukes and bankrupt our economy. Even Clinton(the bastard) cut funding for NASA. So did Bush the first as well as he and Barbara's retarded monkey child.
Shortly after the Apollo program was over some idiot decided to destroy the molds/dies and what have you for the Saturn 5 rocket. The cost in today's money to build another one would be horrendous which is one of the main reasons that NASA moved their focus to orbital activities like the ISS and the shuttle program.

And once again, people see some conspiracy site or fox special and say "OMG THAT PROVES IT!!!!!!" without even bothering to check the counter arguments
