.....that's floundering even more than Awe130's from back in 2012. It's going to be great shoving the results in their faces whenever they start yapping about how everybody is waking up to the supposed hoaxed landings.

I'm all for it - let them ask. There are lots of data files, some 16mm footage, the stellar camera images, and the now infamous Magazine 80 from Apollo 14 that are not yet available electronically. They are going to be so disappointed when all they get from this futile exercise is more data that proves we went. All three of them so far, that is.

(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/98915197/ApolloHoax/Petition.png)

Petition went up on Dec 25th, and today is the 15th of January. They have 3 signatures (about 1 signature every seven days). By my reckoning they will have between 4 and 5 signatures by the deadline.

Looks like they will have to extend their deadline to  around August of the year 3933. By then, the Lunar and Martian Colonies will have already declared their independence from the Empire of Earth, and the first robotic probes will be just reaching Gleise 581.

They must realize that they finally have a President that is irrational enough to take them seriously.

Trump has shown himself to be a conspiracy theorist (Obama birth certificate, JFK assassination, climate change denial, anti-vaccinations), so this petition was likely created because they think he'd be open to the idea that the moon landings were faked.

You assume some level of competence in them promoting their poll. Clearly this is unwarranted.

All you have at this point is effectively "me and my two mates" and nothing more.

Furthermore, the whole thing is predicated on the VAB. We already know this is nonsense.

Well said, Brother Maynard. Perhaps the hoaxheads are hoping for a lobbing of the grenade to defeat the legions of NASA shills?

"It is a confirmed fact by NASA that we cannot get past the Van Allen radiation belt to get to Mars without a major overhaul of the capsule. The radiation, which is dangerous to the crew and potentially damaging to the equipment, must be reduced to a minimal level inside the capsule to achieve success in the mission and safety of the crew. "

This is tantamount to saying:

In the 1970s, cars didn't have airbags. All modern cars must now have airbags. Ergo, cars didn't exist in the 1970's and earlier.

Worst case scenario, though, is that someone convinces Trump he'll go down in history as the person who Exposed the Truth (as he wanted to do with Obama's birth). He'll drag in the NASA heads, and demand that they reveal all the evidence that proves it was a hoax. When they tell him, truthfully, it doesn't exist, he'll explode and decide that, as his science head tells him, we don't really need publicly funded research. After all, they wouldn't play ball with him, and Trump doesn't lose gracefully.

Fortunately, Trump is big on American exceptionalism, and I suspect he'd not be big on taking away one of the U.S.'s biggest scientific bragging points. Because he's all about the bragging points.

Really.  It's why I don't believe you should have to be of any particular political affiliation to be deeply worried about the potential for harm of a Trump administration.  Between the conspiracists and the "alt-Right"--read, Nazis--there's a lot of worry to go around.

I'm rooting for an excess of infighting and turf wars, such that the administration will be effectively non-functional.  It won't stop them (or Congress) from doing real harm, but it will hopefully slow them down. 

And you have to admit, knife fights between Bannon and Jones would be entertaining.  Horrifying, but entertaining.

Awe130 claims the movement is on the increase so we just need to sit back and watch the tidal wave swoop over and set a revolution in motion. They only have 99997 votes more to go!

You made me go check in there to see how the rodent was doing. I scrolled back 7 pages before I gave up and not a single entry was real. All of them were the Global Market Spambot thing. The only interest to be found there now is the remarkably obscure market reports the spambot offers. For example, "Global Milk frothing industry" was particularly piquant. It invites so many questions and would have appeal to so few people. Nevertheless, I steeled myself and stiffened up my backbone and staunchly resisted the urge to click it.

That does sound like a current best-case scenario.  It's interesting, though--conspiracists join together when it's convenient and schism when it's convenient.  This is something we've all observed for years.  Since the incoming administration has such a strong conspiracist bent, it'll be interesting to watch it develop.  It's something I'd wish I could watch from far, far away, though.

Still 3... and I'm sure if awe130 were to speak on this matter he'd tell us that more people are joining the whisper each day.

Now excuse me if I'm being thick, but if the whisper is growing exponentially, which I think would be a reasonable assumption. What would be the coefficient of growth for the whisper based on this data.
