At the end of the day, many of the key people also perpetuate these conspiracy 
myths because they sell an awful lot of books, plus it maybe gains them the 
attention they probably never got as a kid. Imho it's the same with the crop 
circles, UFO's, ghosts, yeti, bigfoot's, water monsters etc.  Usually it's 
often very intelligent but slightly deluded people, who feed off other much 
more deluded people, and through positive re-enforcement you end up with a 
community of people all firmly believing in exactly the same thing and unable 
to accept the truth no matter what anyone else says.

People love being in groups with others of similar values it's as simple as 
that (hey we all joined the met-list didn't we).

Problem comes when these theories start to skew the rest of society's view of 
the truth too, I firmly believe that these conspiracy theories are not just 
'harmless fun' they represent serious pollution and we should be far less 
tolerant of many of them, so long as there is still room for being sensibly 
open minded that is...

Moon–A Colossal Hoax that Cost Billions of Dollars at;

http://krishna.org/man-on-the-moon-a-colossal-hoax-that-cost-billions-of-dollars/

For example, this web page states:

The Vedic account of our planetary system is 
already researched, concluded, and perfect. The 
Vedas state that the moon is 800,000 miles 
farther from the earth than the sun. Therefore, 
even if we accept the modern calculation of 93 
million miles as the distance from the earth to 
the sun, how could the “astronauts” have traveled 
to the moon–a distance of almost 94 million miles–
in only 91 hours (the alleged elapsed time of the 
Apollo 11 moon trip)?

Further down it, the above web page states:

Another important reason why the manned moon 
landing must be a hoax is that, according to the 
Vedas, each planet has its particular standard of living 
and atmosphere, and no one can transfer from one 
planet to another without becoming properly qualified. 
This means that if someone wants to go to Mars, for 
instance, he has to give up his present gross material 
body and acquire another one suitable for life on 
that particular planet.

Other revealing web pages are:

Moon Mission Web Pages

As in case of the antievolution fervor of various Young and Old 
creationists, I personally suspect that a significant force behind
the arguments behind the claims that the Moon Landings were
a hoax is a religious one. I also suspect that unlike the creationist 
antievolutionists, the promoters of the Moon Landing hoax have 
been for the most part, but not always, been careful to hide their 
religious motivations behind seemingly secular web sites. Of 
course as in case of antievolution, there are also a number of
conspiracy fans, who for purely secular, nonreligious reasons,
advocate and promote the fiction about there having been a 
Moon Landing hoax.

Hi all - 

Having met most of the Apollo astronauts way back when, and having joined Dr. 
Aldrin and Jack Schmitt over buffets several times, here's a little more of the 
story, right from here in Kempton, Illinois.

In theosophist religions, the Moon, Mars, and other planets were all 
inhabited. One of these theosophist religions, the Lemurian Fellowship, was 
stolen by Richard Kieninger, who went into business with David Hatcher 
Childress. When Richard was thrown out of his community by his own followers 
for the second of three times for seducing their wives and teenage daughters, 
Hatcher went independent with Richard's mailing list, founding Adventures 
Unlimited Press. He later gathered some of those theosophist materials 
together to write Extra-terrestrial Archaeology. When this confused Brit came 
along David stuck a deal with him, and ran  his materials out via his well 
developed computer mailing operation and PR channels. 

Insanity has a logic of its own, in this case a well developed framework of 
delusions. Why didn't the Apollo astronauts land on the Moon? Because they did 
not show the Moon dwellers' remains. It fits right in with the Face on Mars for 
them.

Hopefully the new lunar images showing the Apollo hardware will put an end to 
this nonsense, but I doubt it: I think the believers and confused, some 7% of 
the young US population, will simply reject them as being fakes as well. 

Strike at the root instead. If any of you want a copy of Amazing Stories, my 
biography of Richard, simply e-mail me off list. And be sure to share it with 
your friends.

E.P.
