When you think about it; Buzz punched Bart Sibrel in the face when Sibrel asked him to swear on the bible, then called him a liar.
Put yourself in Buzz's position and knowing that you really went to the moon. If that was me, I'd have said quite a few things to Sibrel rather than punch him.
1: I'd have said to Sibrel, " pay $10,000 to charity and I'll swear on your bible."
2: I'd have took him to court on defamation of character charges, as well as stalking. Why didn't Aldrin?
3: I'd have gladly sat down and gave him a full interview, subject to being allowed to talk about it by authority, which there would be no reason not to...but I would have demanded a decent fee.
Any question asked of me, I'd have been only to happy to answer for a fee. If It was interrogation by Sibrel, I'd ask for a higher fee and be absolutely happy to answer all questions in the knowledge that I have nothing to hide.
Aldrin could have took all avenues, yet he chose to lash out.
Nobody is going to tell me that those so called astronauts weren't prepared for the adulation and the scrutinisation by sceptics.
If they were truthful, they could embrace it all in full confidence, yet none of them ever did.
When Sibrel showed the video of the Earth stuck to a window with all the anomalies, to Edgar Mitchell; Mitchell got angry and chased Sibrel out of his home. Mitchell's son then said to his dad, "shall I call the CIA and have them waxed."
Who in the hell would believe they could call the CIA over an interview with a reporter. Why didn't he say, " shall I call the police and have them investigate this."...?
If anyone hasn't seen 'astronauts gone wild, I suggest you look it up and see these bozo's in action. Astronauts, my arse.
Armstrong is probably the smoking gun in all this. A seemingly fearless pilot and test pilot of all kinds of craft and yet after the supposed mission to the moon, he goes all introvert and reclusive, yet at the times he is possibly made to talk, he basically uses cryptic speech - potentially in the knowledge that switched on people out there will decipher what he's saying without it being too obvious to those stood around him at the time.
I think this man was suffering from severe depression brought on by the very fact that he's had to carry this lie for all those years. His life must have been a living hell in terms of thought, because this man, out of all of them was a man that gained a conscience, fully (in my opinion) and knew that, in time, people would catch on, that he didn't do what was claimed.
Any person with a reasonable amount of common sense and logic who are open minded enough, can see there is something seriously wrong with his stance on this.
I think I can speak for just about everyone on here. If that was me coming back from the moon, I would be begging for people to ask me about it - infact I wouldn't need prompting. I'd live off the fame and adulation.
One thing I would not do, is have a post mission conference and act like someone's implanted a head exploding charge in my neck in case I speak out of term, because Armstrong especially, displayed not only speech nerves - he displayed serious duress, in fact, a mild terror.
Aldrin wasn't quite as bad but displayed what can be described as a nervous shame, whilst Collins looked like a lost boy, who displayed fidgeting properties, then makes the massive error of piping in under nervousness of his script, after Armstrong was asked by a young Patrick Moore, " when you looked up at the sky, could you see the stars in the solar corona, inspite of the glare. To which Armstrong replied, " I couldn't see the stars in (nervous pause) the soNar coroLa by eye without using the optics???...to which Collins pipes up with, " I don't remember seeing any."
This clown wasn't even on the moon, he was supposedly sitting in a command module orbiting it and he doesn't remember seeing any stars???
What the hell does it need for ordinary people to frigging wake up and see this charade for what it was and still is to this day?
