• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark. There is
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Chuck Britt. Why you tickled, Josh? I'm just you know
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: exactly why things take place and transpire before the stuff
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: starts recording, true, and we just bring it exactly and
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: sometimes we bring it laughing. It's a rainbow kind of
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: world out there. So Chuck, let's talk about whether or
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: not we landed on the moon. I have no intro
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: for this one. Let's just get into it. Okay, Yeah,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: let's go to town. There are people that think that
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: we did not land on the moon in nine that
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: is true, and actually there is a guy who worked
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: for oh, I don't remember. Maybe the rocket Dine Systems
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: rocket Dine Systems, which I believe it's a private, private
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: aerospace contractor UM. A guy named Bill Casing UH he
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: wrote technical publications for that company, and in UH he
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: calculated nine He calculated there was a point zero zero
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: one four percent chance of landing a man on the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: moon and returning him safely home. He was wrong. Ten
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: years later we had been on the moon returned him
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: safely home, we think, or yeah, or did we UM?
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I don't think we should take a conspiratorial tone. I
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: also don't think we should take pot shots at the
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: crackpots who think this. So what are we going to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: talk about? Well, I think we can discuss the merits
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: of this stuff. In my opinion, skepticism goes both ways, right,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Skepticism is always focused on the people who question reality,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: and I think that's I think that's BS. I think
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I think there's plenty of times where you can question
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: what's what's being VEGGI Yeah, So I'm I'm big on that. Actually,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: And if I was around in nineteen nine, I probably
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: would have um, you know, not probably about in nineteen
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: SI you would have been woodstock the whole ship bang
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: maybe So yeah, so um, all right, let's get down
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: to it. All right, let's do it. Do you want
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: to tee off? Uh? Yeah, um, Like we said, a
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: lot of people, well I don't know how many, but
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: there was a conspiracy theory going around still is today
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that we never landed on the Moon. And there are
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: quite a few points that people make to try and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: back this up from the footage of the moon landing,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and they basically think it was staged for the purposes of, um,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: making the Russians so disheveled at the fact that we
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: got to the Moon before they did that they would
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: scrap their program and just say, you know, the Americans
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: are so far ahead of us because they're already on
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the moon and we can't do that. Well, not just
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: that now, chinal pride as well, like you know, back
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: in the in the sixties. This is like at the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: height of the Cold War, and basically the Soviet Union
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and the United States spent much in political and actual,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you know, financial capital to make one another look bad.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: It was pretty much the role of each of these
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: nations that the world was polarized, and what better way
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to make the other one look like jackass than by
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: beating him to the moon. There's the space race. Yeah, um,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: so I see that the theory behind this, this whole thing. Yeah,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: but you know, Kennedy said, in what nineteen sixty we're
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: going to put a man on the moon, And by
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: nineteen sixty nine we had that is enormous, Like, we
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: had no moon landing program right by then, We've been
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: shooting satellites into space and we had men who had
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: orbited by then. But within nine years we actually landed
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: somebody on the Moon. Right, And this is nineteen sixties
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: technology too, so it's not I mean, today it would
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: seem like that would be the hardest thing in the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: world to do, but back then it was just unheard of. Right. Okay, So,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: like you said, most of the bones of contention that
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: people used to pick this idea apart um are are
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: based on the footage, correct of you know, there's actual
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: evidence here saying you know what, what what's going on?
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: What does this explain this? Right? There's five main points
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: that are generally brought up in this discussion. There's actually
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a few more, but yeah, in this article there, Yeah,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: there's there's five are our esteem colleague John Fuller waited
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: through the muck the muck and picked out the best ones,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: polished him off. There you go, let's talk about him. Okay,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: what's the first one. Well, the first one that I'd
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: like to mention is actually not the first one. The
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: first one I'd like to mention is the quote unquote
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: sea rock is in the letter C. Yeah. Have you
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: seen the C rock? Yeah? I looked up a picture
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: today and uh, basically, there's a rock in the foreground
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: of a photo and the shot is of one of
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the astronauts walking away from camera towards the lunar rover,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: and there's a big moon rock in the foreground that
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: looks like it's got a very clear letter C on it.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: It is clearly a C. It's clearly I mean, it
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: doesn't look like some sort of aberration or anything like that.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: It's just it looks like the letter C carved into it,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: or maybe like stamped with like metal and a chisel
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: perhaps something like that. But it definitely looks like a C.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I would agree with you, And so, of course, theorists,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: we're not going to calm conspiracy theorist's calm theorists. Theorists
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: think that this could be a prop, like a stage prop,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: that was marked. You know, moon Rock Cy put it here,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Moon rock By put it there, and then it just
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: kind of got by the camera department who was filming
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: this big hoax. And I like that you you put
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: that one first, because this one, in my opinion, has
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the weakest explanation from the scientific community in NASA for
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: that C on that rock spill it. And that is
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: basically that there was a hair on the lens or
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: something like that that had to do with UM when
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the photo was taking it. That's not really a C.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: It's like a hair or scratch. It doesn't look anything
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: like a hair or scratch. It looks like clearly it
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: looks like a cue. That that is definitely one UM.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: One that I like is the the different shadow lengths. Correct,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: have you seen pictures of them with the different shadows
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: have not their wildly varying in length, And there's you know,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: they're there guys standing next to one another on the Moon,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: but and then one shadow is ten ft long the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: others is forty. So I guess the the the basic
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: basic idea behind this is evidence that there the moon
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: landing was faked, is that um, there was some sort
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: of faulty studio light. Yeah, Like, the basic idea is
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: that this is all done on a sound stage. Now,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, this one is actually the weakest argument
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: for the moon landing being fake. Uh. The first of all,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: the moon is not a flat, smooth surface. It's very
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: rock and dusty, and it has all sorts of features
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: to it. Uh. And anybody who has ever stood, you know,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: on a along a desert or something similar to the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: moon and seen their shadow, they've noticed that the shadows
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: don't always act the same way. Um. And what's more,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: in my opinion, if NASA was actually going to go
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: to the trouble of faking a moon landing, they would
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: have noticed this, and they wouldn't have released it with
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: with the with the with the shadows like that badly off.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: That's my big point. As a matter of fact, they
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: probably would have gone the other way and and the
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: shadows would have looked uniform or something like that, right exactly.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: That's my point. This is ninety nine. This wasn't like
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: n you know, they were actually making I looked up
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: films that released in nineteen sixty nine, and you know
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: some really good movies you got French connection was that
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: sixty nine. No, like Putch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: that that kind of thing. But anyway, some really good
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: movies and filmmaking an advance to the point where they
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: could have easy easily gotten someone to make the shadows
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: match and light it properly, and that they wouldn't have
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: had some cracked team of like you know, interns out
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: there filming the moon landing. You know, so I don't know.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: That didn't hold water with me. Well what's your what's
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: your next best argument or a Well, I'm gonna go
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: ahead and skip over to um the American flag. A
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: lot of people um seem to notice that when they're
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: putting the flag up that it appears to flap in
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the breeze. Of course, this is on the Moon. There's
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: no atmosphere, so there would be no breeze. Uh. But
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: what they say, what the government says, is is that
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: this was a special flag. And actually I didn't know this.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I felt like a dummy. It's got a wire running
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: across the top of it, which is why it hangs
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: uh square, Otherwise it would just hang motionless. Right, So
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: when you have a flag with like a taught wire
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and you're putting it up. It's it's gonna move around
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a little bit more, and it's not gonna look like
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: a regular flag. So it's not, in fact the breeze blowing.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: It's just you know, by virtue of the fact that
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I had a wire running through it. Right. And as
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Fuller points out, if they if they had created a
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: sound stage UM and filmed it like this and and
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: the wire wasn't in there, they would have had to
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: have created a vacuum in it, which would have been
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: really difficult. Another part of that that has to do
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: with that vacuum sound stage that would have been virtually
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: impossible to do UM is the dust that's being kicked
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: up right when they walk. When they walk or when
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: the lunar rover is tires the tires are spinning. Um.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: This is not so much in a piece of evidence,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: but in an explanation or something that people have noticed
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: is that supposedly it's it's kind of clouding UM and
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: and apparently it hasn't. It doesn't cloud at all. The
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: dust is kicked up and it runs its course in
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: that thin atmosphere and then falls back down. And so
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: that that kind of actually proves that this thing either
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: was filmed in the sound stage, within a vacuumized sound stage,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: or on the moon. Acca Trazer would actually kind of
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: suggest the vacuumized sound stage, I think at that point.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: But still, well, they can create an entire vacuum a
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: sound stage, but they can't light it properly. Is that
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: that's a great point, Chuck, Come on, that's a great point,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: and that kind of reveals what's going on with this.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: This is never going to be resolved to everyone's satisfaction.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I think. I think people enjoy kind of poking at
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: one another on this. Yeah, like making NASA scientists respond
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: like they don't have anything else today. Yeah. The fact that, um,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: they could never have pulled this off though they can't,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: They couldn't have duped the entire scientific community all over
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the world. Not only that, yes, Russia as well, Like
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: you would drink if Russia would go public with this
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: faster than you could say, lick it split. Um, there
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: is somebody has actually explained that as well. UM. Supposedly
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: right after the moon landing, UM, a guy named Ralph
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Renee points out that UM, the US or did sending
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: very secret humanitarian aid massive amounts of grain to the
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Soviet Union very quietly. Um, And basically that we wouldn't
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: normally do that through our normal policy. We had no
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: reason to send them humanitarian aid. They were our greatest enemy.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: But we're doing it secretly. And if we were doing it,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: wouldn't we have said, hey, you know, we're we're helping
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: out our our enemy because we're all humans. That kind
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: of thing, right, wouldn't have been more public. It's it's
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: kind of a tenuous argument, but it's something to chew over.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Right said, they could have kept the Russians quiet. To that, Josh,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm starting to you're starting to win me over, Chuck,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: you are. But you said one reason that that this
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: whole thing would have been fake, the moon laning would
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: have been faked, was um, because of of the space
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: race the Cold War? What about money? Well, true, it
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: would have cost a lot a lot of money to
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: put in. In fact, did cost a lot of money
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: to put someone on the moon. From from nineteen fifty
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: eight to UM ninth or two thousand and eight, by
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: my by my calculations, NASA has gotten about fifty billion
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: dollars in change and funding over those over the fifty
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: year period. That's a big slush fund. If you think
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: about it, is it's just like you have no money
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: to account for any longer. It's in space. That's our bailout,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: right now, Why isn't this settled? Think about this. We're
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: going into space all the time. True. The reason why
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: is that the last we went to the moon. Oh
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: another explanations that it served as a distraction for the
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Vietnam War, right right, America is like, well, we're going
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: to the moon, you know, forget about the American soldiers.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: They are dying over there and actually suspiciously. Um, the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: last time we landed on the moon was V two,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: towards the end of the Vietnam War, and then all
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: of a sudden, if you look at NASA's funding year
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: by year, it drops in half for about a decade
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: until it started up again in the eighties when you
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and I were very interested in it as youngsters. Right,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: So does the tail wag the dog, Josh, or just
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: the dog wagged the tail? I don't. I can't answer that.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: But speaking of wag the dog, um, if it was faked,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: think about how many people were greased by the CIA
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: right after They play their role as like a production
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: assistant or a director or something like that and killed,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I mean killed waxed. Yeah, but again, why why why
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: isn't this salt? So we stopped going to the moon
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: or stopped landing on the moon after women back. But
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: we have sent some you know, uh, lunar orbiters around
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: the Moon with really great cameras. So why don't we
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: just say here is the lunar lander, dummy, and here
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: are the footprints, dummy. Why why you know, why aren't
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: we doing that? You know why? Because it's it's not
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: worth the money to do that, right. No, they're actually
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: going around the Moon and they're act they're they're taking
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: photos of the Moon's surface and they're going over it.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: The problem is the the camera resolution, which are these
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: incredible cameras are still not picking up They don't have
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the resolution to pick up these objects. On the sound,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: it does sound a little shady. So we'll see. There's
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: a few out there right now. India has the Chan
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Drayon I believe is the Pronunciation orbiter. Japan has the
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: cagu Ya orbiter. My Japanese is rusty sound, and then
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: the US is the Lunar Reconnaissance orbiter. They're all orbiting
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the Moon right now, and they all possibly have good
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: enough cameras to send back photos of the Apollo moon landings.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Well hopefully that happens one day. Yeah, so you can
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: just put this to bed once again. I still think
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: people will just say, well, they fake those. You know.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: It's a good point. We've got India in there in
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: our pockets. So that's it. Uh, well, not quiet. You
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: want to oh no, you got to. No, you have
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: reader mail, so you want to let the moon landing
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: conspiracy one just kind of peter out a Moment's okay,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: all right, Listener mail times, listener mail time. Johsh I'm
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: gonna call this one exceptional fan mail, as I like
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: to do. Nice. Now, is this this isn't stuff we
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: should have known? No, no, no, this is an actual,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: uh really kind of a cool story from Ben in Ontario, Canada.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: And you're gonna remember this one, Josh, is a good one.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: This guy listened to our exorcism podcast and uh I
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: was talking about a positive possession, of beneficial possession, and
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: he has a story about himself and I'm gonna summarize this.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Ben night. Uh he Ben says, eleven years
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: ago he was in a bad bicycle accident and UH
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: came between two busses and was hit by a car
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: he was winning in high school. He says, it is
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: a bad bicycle X. Yeah, he said he was fully
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: conscious afterwards, even though I went over my handlebars and
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: hit my head on the hood of the car. I
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: was fully aware of the situation and what happened. But
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: he was told he was completely coherent the ambul us
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: in in the e r with the nurses, even okay
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: with his parents. When he brought him home several hours later,
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: they put him to bed and thirty minutes later he
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: woke back up and didn't remember any of it, and
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: it took him a full hour to even find out
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: what had happened to him. So Ben says, I believe
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: during this short time that I was actually possessed by
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: the Egyptian god Horace. H O r U s Uh.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I think that's the one with the dog's head. If
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, I think so okay. So he was
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: possessed by Horace or an ancient priest from the temple
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: of Horace. Uh that this took control of him and
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: kept his brain from shutting down and having more damage
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: than it did. I know there are other medical explanations
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: as to what happened. Heavy impacts can cause a short
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: term memory to wipe out, et cetera. However, this is
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: the belief that I have about it, and it's backed
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: up to me by the fact that is where it
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: gets good by About two years later, he went to
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: an optometrist and he found marks on the lower outer
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: edge of his eye is and there are similar marks
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: and paintings of the eyes of Horace. And the doctor
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: could not explain this. You've never seen it before and
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: could not explain how it happened. So maybe I'm just crazy,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: but and I know some people think that, but it's
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: what I believe happened to me. And then I wrote
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: you back already. We don't think you're crazy. We think
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: that anyone that thinks they had this whole big cosmic
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: soup figured out doesn't know what they're talking about, and
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: that who knows, you could have very well been possessed
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: by Horace as far as I know, And that's a
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Thanks for sharing your story, Thanks for thanks for opening
• 17:34

• 17:37
