Buzz Aldrin Moon Shot

On Jun 13, 2016 moon landing denier Bart Sibrel followed Apollo 11 astronaut Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin out of a Hollywood hotel and relentlessly harassed him about whether he actually landed on the moon. Buzz reacted. Many have seen the short clip of the actual punch, but note how much verbal confrontation preceded it. Sibrel has pulled similar stunts with many other Apollo astronauts. Californian authorities have decided against prosecuting former astronaut Buzz Aldrin after he punched a documentary maker who claimed his moon missions were faked.

According to www.thevintagenews.com Mr Aldrin responded by punching Mr Sibrel, but said he merely struck out to defend himself and his stepdaughter, who was with him at the time.Mr Aldrin, famous for his participation in the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969, hit Bart Sibrel after he approached the former astronaut outside a hotel in Beverley Hills, Los Angeles and demanded he swear on a Bible that the landing was not staged.

Beverly Hills police investigated the incident, which occurred 9 September, but said that the charges were dropped after witnesses came forward to say that Mr Sibrel had aggressively poked Mr Aldrin with the Bible before he was punched.

Witnesses also told police that Mr Sibrel had lured Mr Aldrin to the hotel under false pretences in order to interview him. Deputy District Attorney Elizabeth Ratinoff told Reuters news agency that a videotape shot by a cameraman hired by Mr Sibrel had shown the film-maker follow Mr Aldrin, calling him a “thief, liar and coward”.

Mr Sibrel handed over the tape to police investigators, but as Mr Sibrel sustained no visible injury and did not seek medical attention, and Mr Aldrin had no previous criminal record, no charges were filed. Mr Sibrel says his new documentary proves the Apollo 11 landings were faked by the Nasa space agency in order to fool the then-Soviet Union into thinking the US had beaten them in the space race.

I would have clipped the punk too.

Also with my left.

Fly Me to The Moon plus 49

July 20, 1969. The eyes of the world broke away from this mortal coil. Our vision was fixed on the Moon. TVs and radios around the globe reported the lunar landing of Apollo 11 to every continent. This space mission had been inspired by the late-President Kennedy and Neil Armstrong immortalized the epic moment with the words. "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

July 20 1969 was a Sunday. I was 17. I have no recollection of watching his first steps on the surface of the moon. It was something that monumental should have been as indelibly etched into my memory as the JFK assassination and losing my virginity. This memory lapse lends credence to those conspiracy theorists claiming that Man never landed on the Moon.

Maybe it wasn't on TV after all.

Let's face the facts. The Lunar Landing supposedly was televised by every channel; ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS. Teenagers watched almost 30 hours of TV on the 1960s. I was a teenager, therefore if the Lunar Landings had been on TV, then I should remember seeing them, instead I can't recall anything.

Ergo no Lunar Landing.

NASA has yet to refute my analysis, but for further research into the Moon Hoax, here's a video from Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

One theory is that I could have been making out with my girlfriend. Her mother let us stay at their house unchaperoned and Janet Stetson was certainly more important to me than a silly moon landing.
