Title: Channel 5 at it again
Post by: Glom on May 05, 2014, 07:16:42 PM
Apparently they've been showing a programme in the last few days. Someone asked about it in another non-science forum I frequent.

Did anyone see it? Is it the Fox Special of auld?

Their program listings are available online. It was shown on 28 April:
http://entertainment.ie/tv/display.asp?channelid=54&programme=&programme_day=28-April-2014&pn=1&programme_time=time6#Channel-5

Quite a sequence: "Secret History of UFOs", "Aliens: Are We Alone?" and "Did We Land on the Moon?". All of them are marked as "repeats".

Documentary exploring claims that the first moon landing was an elaborate hoax designed to fool the general public and enable Nasa to beat the Soviets in the space race. The programme examines claims of the suspicious deaths of 10 space workers in the months leading up to the historic mission, as well as doubts over the veracity of official photographs.

And this is a thread on a UK forum discussing the show that I found while searching for the listing:

Let's just say that after reading the first page I had to stop reading to take a breath from laughing.

Is Phil Plant's debunking still around? I need to know the deal behind a guy they had on who claims to be a NASA scientist.

Yes, it is. Most of the old Bad Astronomy site is still available, it's just that using solely the domain in the URL redirect to wherever the blog is at the moment.

RationalWiki also lists this:

Best reasoning ever.

The government exaggerates the importance of speed in road safety therefore the moon landings are fake.

That is a truly hilarious article. I highly recommend it to anyone who has ever had to (or chosen to) deal with the HB community.

A truly hilarious effort.

 Even funnier is that a lot of HB's reading that article will be too stupid to realise that it takes the piss out of them.
