Top 10 Conspiracy Theories
bit.ly/1HN1Iar
Despite the fact that they’re hilariously easy to debunk and disprove, conspiracy theories always seem to dominate any discussion of the six booty calls we as a species paid to the moon. And that’s a real shame, because there are so many other awesome, sometimes controversial facts about the moon landings that are so much more fun than the standard “it was on TV” nonsense. Facts like…

#1 As an atheist, I'm a bit offended that anyone would think it inappropriate to have a communion on the moon. He was getting ready to do something that was INCREDIBLY dangerous. He performed his ritual in private, at a time that it did not interfere with the mission. Most important, it made Buzz feel better. Even though I don't think it made a damn bit of difference for his personal safety, it was done to make Buzz feel better.
Keep in mind, the Constitution gives us freedom OF religion, not freedom FROM religion. While it would be inappropriate for a state organization to promote religion, it is not inappropriate for an employee of that origination to practice their own religion, even while at work, so long as it is done privately in a manner that does not interfere with that person's duty.
Actually, while feeling better, his general attitude was probably safer. So having communion was better for the mission
Speaking as a Christian, thanks for saying that.
Brilliantly said.
I agree
Triggered soy boy 🤣
"Drunken babies trying to catch a butterfly"
As i watch it
I was born on the same day when Neil Armstrong took that first step on the moon. So whenever I hear: "One small step for Man..." I shout out: "...One giant push from my Mum!" 😊👍
Except man has never been to the moon
@@gumpyflyale2542 ........another Kaysing disciple huh? Oh well, I suppose you're entitled to your opinion: just like those who - as the last survivors die, and history inevitably forgotten - deny that the Holocaust ever occurred.........!!
@@idleonlooker1078 we can't leave low earth orbit nor have we in 47 years allegadly it only took 32 KB of fixed memory and the telemetry data were taped over or sold to an intern for 218 US dollars, and Respected Astronaut Don Petit who has been to the international space station twice said "I would go back in a nanosecond but we destroyed the technology and it is a painful process to build back again" so make a crazy comparason if you want to about something unrelated but just except the fact we have been lied to for 50 years
Lol
@@gumpyflyale2542 I do take exception to your lie.
"NASA actually drove the trailer back to Houston from Hawaii" You can't take that highway anymore because it's underwater due to global warming.
lol
Oh! THAT'S why I couldn't drive to Hawaii last year.
That was the most incredible event covered by this video!
BBC lost like 50 doctor who episodes, what a bunch of schmucks
Thanks for pointing out the obvious
The BBC is a strong proponent of recycling. So it makes sense that they “recycle” footage from things such as the moon landing or doctor who.
@@davidroddini1512 Well, come on. Let's be real. It's just first Moon landings and sci fi shows that run for more than 7 seasons.Those things happen ALL the time.
Nothing is more offensive than somebody telling me I should be offended by something.
If you're black they can use words you can't !! The reason is they're so offended. Don't dress like a black person or color your face, they will be offended !
I'm so offended by your comment !
@@raymondstemmer2051 I don't care. That's their problem, not mine.
I'm not surprised the BBC recorded over their moon landing footage. They recorded over a whole bunch of episodes of Dr Who I think back in the 60s as well, which are lost forever.
And Jimi Hendrix's appearances were also recorded over with footage of trains.
Yup
We have never been to the moon
@Jope Lamp They do have audio of the lost episodes from people's home recordings so there have been a few DVD releases using it with animated recreations.
@@gumpyflyale2542 Shut up until you have something new to contribute.
All the flags left on the Moon are completely white by now due to the radiation and solar wind. So it looks like the French landed there.
Lol
+Jan Sten Adámek -there is no moon.
+Brian Linville there is no sun
What is reality?...how do you define real?
* Kingdom of France (987 - 1791)
Why would it be offensive that a man took communion on the moon? What they did was essentially a suicide mission. Let the man have his rituals.
BBC long had a policy of recording over or destroying their tapes every couple of decades, mostly because of limited storage space, this is often cited as the reason why it's so hard to get DVDs of classic British tv shows.
+milksheihk Are you talking about Dr.Who?
Yes it does apply to Dr. who but it also applies to just about every other BBC Programme (including news footage) from before the mid 80s.
What I don't understand was why they didn't get an upgrade for all the storage because nasa should have bought them all the required equipment to get all of the footage (or at least most of it
+Kwolf Not to rain on your parade, but can you give me one reason why NASA, a US government agency, should spend US tax dollars so the BBC can upgrade it's equipment?
It's nothing to do with equipment, prior to the early 80s tape was the best media storage available, but storing it takes up actual physical space, no matter how much money is behind it nobody would justify building the vast warehouses needed to store it in what is actually a fairly small country with fairly dense populated cities. BBC's policy of destroying tapes every few years was purely about saving space.
4:30 drive from Hawaii to Houston?
a boat
+blueakgirl23 you don't drive a boat
Harrison Berlin Clearly they used a boat regardless of what the narrator said.
+doughnut man they were most likely carried by cargo plane
+Harrison Berlin so what do u do then? Swim a boat? Makes more sense to drive a boat

I rather like the scene #1 paints myself. Of the two first human beings to land on the moon, one practiced a religious ritual that was important to him, and the other was respectful while not participating, which did not offend the former. I'd say that's about as strong a first few minutes on another solar body that we could have hoped for.
"Moon cooties". That's priceless.
I like that Aldrin had communion on the moon. I am not a Christian, but I feel I have the right to not be a Christian, just as Aldrin has the right to his own beliefs. Any peaceful celebration of one's beliefs is a demonstration of humanity. No one has to follow a belief, to respect that person's right to practice it. Different beliefs, points of view, and various histories is what makes us human.
#1 What is the big fucking deal? I don't care that Aldrin had communion on the moon. This was something that was important to HIM. It gave him comfort while doing something that have a very good chance of killing him. It hurt no one, effected the mission not at all, and in addition, it was PRIVATE!
Can anyone please provide me with a good reason he shouldn't have done it? I'm an atheist but I don't have a problem with anyone praying or observing other religious ceremonies so long as it doesn't hurt or inconvenience anyone .
+Eric Taylor As an agnostic all I can say is "who cares" myself. What a person believes or does not believe is THEIR business. As long as they keep it THEIR business and not try to make it MINE.

Well he got a lot of negativity from it at the time, and just 6 months before, the crew of Apollo 8 read from Genesis while in orbit around the moon.
+Eric Taylor you sir... are a good human being.
I don't share Dr. Aldrin's faith. However, I do recognize that for him, anyway, performing Communion on the Moon was a way to mark the extreme profundity of the experience for himself.
I salute him for it.
He never stepped foot on the moon
Fascinating, and very well narrated. Thoroughly appreciated the humour! You’re on to a winner. You got me - I subscribed 😌👍
Imagine what it was like. They must have been so brave. It's not like those astronauts had nothing left to lose, but apparently they were extremely brave and somehow didn't fear death. Because just imagine the courage it takes to leave you planet, the atmosphere, into the vast, infinite void, where you could end up trapped, to get to the moon- the freaking moon, and then get out of your spacecraft, and step onto that whole new world where, if one little thing goes wrong, you would die a horrible death, not even on planet you can call home. And yet, the astronauts stayed incredibly, almost unbelievably calm. I think of anybody that brave with utmost respect and awe.
Communion was for himself not the landing.
Can I add that Pink Floyd played experimental music in the background of the moon landing for the BBC.
really . where can i find that music . or did they tape over that too ?
proof insurance companies are complete jerks
If a majority of a population believes in Unicorns it’s still not 100% proof of their existence...
Realy enjoyed this video
My god TopTenz please stop making videos. I haven't been on another channel since I discovered yours and it's beginning to overtake my life. Your videos are TOO damn good to stop watching. Fml.
***** in that case, please continue. But I'd like you to hook me up with your therapist if you do
you funny
Just binge watch them. After a few videos, you'll be like me and want to shove Simon's head into a bowling ball polisher. ;P
DUDE PLEASE DON'T EVER FORGET, YOU HAVE A HUGE FAN BASE HERE IN CHICAGO!!! WE LUV U...
"Drove from Hawaii to Houston"
ummmm
That was awesome!
9:00 If they wrote it down (documented it), that makes it science (not just screwing around).
Thank you Simon. I need these occassional early morning laughs to start my day off in the right direction. Hyper-intelligent moon poo. Funny, funny, funny. 😂
#2 killed me! Every episode! You have the most majestic way of really clobbering the idiots in these tales! So smooth, so matter of fact! So funny!
The BBC seems to have a problem with deleting footage... **cough** Doctor Who :(
It’s not unusal. Swedish television erase, by mistake, several programs of a childrens series: ”Trazan & Banarne”.
3's title is little bit click baity
I do not see how it could have been selfish to have communion. He just survived something that could have ended his life! With no insurance to boot! I'd give thanks too.
I seem to remember a camera failure due to focusing on the sun, and many of the most remarkable moments exist only as audio clips. Which mission was that?
Below me right now!?! Oh Simon you so tricky 😂😝
These old videos are absolutely hilarious
oooh I like these types of vids
*****
I'd love to see ones like this one done on the Marilyn Monroe murder theory, and the the Titanic-Olympic swap theory, not that I believe them...they're just interesting. Ooh the Paul is Dead theory is fun too, although crazy.
A drunken baby trying to catch butterflies?! A babies holding an Apple more like it.
#1 controversial?
238,000 miles from safety aboard an unproven spacecraft with a pressure hull little thicker than a coke can between them and instant death, no in-flight movie, lousy food, forced to defecate in a spacesuit and somebody was upset he had a drink.. go figure
Its more other religons feeling like nasa brought one religon to space raises it above others lol.
60 years later we still cannot repeat the feat. Seems reasonable.
Bruh toptenz come along way since this ✌🏻
You as a voiceover guy was brilliant, you on screen just does not work so well imo.
+Matt M
I disagree, but that's ok.
+TopTenz And I didn't even have anything to do with it this time! See? This community is becoming more self-sustaining every day. Glad to be at the helm of the fanbase, cap'n!
+Matt M i thought he was black all this time lol nice too see the face to the voice for once imo
I think part of the problem is the use of different microphones. I'm not sure whatsoever being used when you're recording the voice overs, but its a much richer sound.
How did NASA "Drive the trailers back to Houston for Hawaii"....lol
Intelligent people realize a ship was also involved to ferry it across the ocean, duh!
Mike Austin holds the world record for the longest drive in professional play, driving 515 yards.
The BBC deleting footage? That's so unlike them...
6:10 Astronaut on the moon: Gosh, that golf ball went for miles and miles, I swear!
Mission control: Actually, you might be right, according to one of our theoretical physicists down here...
Astronaut: Way to kill the hyperbole, Huston.
The greatest artworks to be sent to the moon to memorialize man for all eternity and a few scribbles and geometric shapes is the best we could be bothered with.
Ah, the 60's.
Mike Austin holds the world record for the longest drive in professional play, driving 515 yards at the Winterwood Golf Course in Las Vegas, Nevada in 1974, blasting it 65 yards past the flag on the par-4 fifth. His golf swing, known as The Mike Austin Swing, is practiced and taught by current golf professionals.
That is a lot of buthurt over a comunion... hehe
+Aaron Reichert I agree. They weren't even sure that they could get those guys home, why WOULDN'T he be allowed to something personal like that if he wanted to? So weird.
You look like ......Johnny from the videossssss
"like drunken babies trying to catch a butterfly" as if we all have seen that before
How did you do that Happy Gilmore reference without throwing in a Jaws Moonraker reference...
I'm not sure about number 9 and no insurance. I'm pretty sure that Life Magazine had some sort of contract with NASA for exclusive rights to the Astronauts stories. Each Astronaut was given an additional $16,000 per year salary by the magazine plus a $100,000.00 life insurance policy provided by the magazine. I'm sure this happened with Mercury-Redstone and Gemini but I don't know if this continued with Apollo.
I'm atheist/agnostic but it's private, Buzz did what he did in a personal private manner and I respect that.
So, Warhol submitted a self-portrait?!
I always thought the longest golf shot was up the aisle of Concord at Mach 2.
Damn, Simon looks so young!
Why does the action of the astronaut seems to be in slow motion while hitting the golf ball? 6:00
Its the moon
At 9:00 that is so Kerbal Space Program stile XD
lol that is cold but how true lol
The lost BBC footage may have been lost in a fire that happened that also lost original episodes of shows like Doctor Who.
So...uh...communion on the moon you say? Am I even alive, or am I a character in Bloodborne?
Could you do a to 10 exoplanet facts video?

"Yep, before Armstrong took his iconic first steps or uttered his infamous first words" Famous*
+That Which Smashes No, 'infamous'. He flubbed it. Bad grammar. But he just landed on the moon, so... you know, that's a thing that's likely to happen. They had a lot going on.
lmngoogle+
No. "Famous- Known about by many"
"Infamous-Known for some bad quality or deed" They may have "flubbed it" but it isn't known for being flubbed it's known for being the first words on the moon and being impact full. thus famous
How do u drive fro Hawaii to Huston ?
+Harrison Berlin probably they sat in a car or cabin and a dual blade helicopter picked them up. it's just my guess
+Harrison Berlin there actualy exist boats, helicopters and airplanes able to carry cars and trailers, my guess would be with one of those.
A car?
__JayJayJayJay Jay you do realize that hawaii is a group of island in the middle of the ocean, right?
+Hoàng Trần Minh (MassiveFire) exactly plus a boat would be sailing and a plain would be piloting so
Number 3 is my favorite!
One thing I'm curious about is how much atmosphere helps and hinders a golfball in flight... I was under the impression that the dimples of the golfball allow it to be carried to a degree by the wind, meaning that if it had the wind behind it it might fly a great deal farther and more accurately than it otherwise would.
I suppose a complete lack of atmosphere is probably still the better option, though.
A young Simon? Sweet!
Number 6 made me laugh so much
#3...
I'm speechless.
"The footage of the BBC and ITV coverage became victim to the current broadcasting policy of either eventually erasing videotapes or simply not keeping them. It is not definitely known what happened to the original tapes." Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_television_Apollo_11_coverage#Missing.2Fexisting_footage
I guarantee there would have been no communion ceremony if Buzz had been chosen to walk first.
Wow you look like the dude who curb stomped that dude in american history x here lol
I don't understand how taking communion and praying on the moon is offensive. If I were the first person on the moon and there was chance something could go wrong and I wouldn't make it back to earth I would pray too (I'm not even religious). I don't think it's O.K. to shame some one for their personal religious beliefs. It's not like he was trying to force Catholicism on people.
The guy that stole the safe was an aspiring astronaut. So he already was familiar with the place and people already knew him, probably also had the right ID for the place. Also the more openly it happens, the less suspicious it is.
Course after that day thousands of aliens on earth died, go Doctor Who
I'm pretty sure the golf ball only wen't a few yards and was even seen in photos near the lander.
I like the spoof videos! Keep them up. Facts, hahahahaha
you can't tell me one of the guys who walked on the moon didn't "rub one out" the second he closed the door to the lunar module or told the other guy "hey give me a sec before you come back in, i'm going to go in and shut the door, i got a playboy of miss July and i want to be the first one to "flog the bishop" on the moon"
#6 If you think about it, it's not at all surprising that they had trouble walking. First they were walking in a gravity field much weaker than what they were used to. On top of that, they were wearing quite heavy space suits. While those big back packs were much lighter on the moon than they would have been on Earth, they still had all that same mass.
You don't even think about all the subtle muscle contractions you use to remain standing. All of this is automatic and so precise you can't really even see a standing person making these adjustments unless the person is impaired.
But the movements you make on earth would be too powerful on the moon. On top of that, all of the moon walkers said that once you got moving it was hard to stop or change direction.
0:40 Simon, the moon landings WERE on TV. In fact, when Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon it was the first time my mother felt me move inside her.
Except he was not on the moon
#1, You become one of the two most badass explorers in human history (if not forever) and you damn well can do whatever you want to mark the occasion.
Oh and Simon, you clearly know diddly squat about science history or should we list all the religious scientists for you across multiple religions?
Thad Roberts' wife in Utah was certainly taken aback when she got a call from him saying that, instead of being in Houston, where he was supposed to be, he was under arrest in Florida for attempting to sell stolen moon rocks and needed her help to post bail. She was less than forthcoming when she found out that his accomplice was his girlfriend. Due to the irreplaceable damage that he did to the NASA scientist's research, which was also in the safe with the moon samples and was lost during the course of the theft, he ended up being sentenced to 100 months (8.3 years) in prison. "Sex on the Moon" is a really good book and a cautionary tale about how a really smart young man can be incredibly stupid.
The longest golf shot ever is well over the 400 yard moon shot. Mike Austin drove a ball 515 Yards in 1974 whilst playing in Nevada.
lol, we're worried that if an astronaut were to fall down he would be unable to stand up and die, so we think that you should lie down, roll around, and see if you can stand up again...
I've seen Bubba Watson hit a drive over 400 yards. Granted it was downhill but still, wow.
On the moon you can hit a ball I'll go al the way around and hit you in the back of the gead
+TopTenz
Isn't that the back part of the g'nads?
+TopTenz ... *head
How do you drive from Hawii to the rest of the U.S.A?
Why didn't you include NASA deleting the original video tapes of Armstrong's first steps on the moon? All they have left is movie footage taken from the mission control screen.
Drunken babies trying to catch a butterfly?? That is AWESOME
6:22 please don't give Happy Madison more ideas
it's not a mystery... the BBC just threw out a bunch of their archives at one point. they threw out most of the early Dr. who shows too apparently.
POO BAGS + MOON SURFACE = Scientific Planning
Can't stop quietly laughing
+Adyen Lichtwachter Actually it was. Why expend the effort to recover materials they have PLENTY of right here on earth instead of additional moon rocks/material?
The BBC has a terrible history of recording over master tapes. They reused the tapes a lot of early Dr Who episodes were recorded on and had no other copies.
'Like drunk babies trying to catch butterflies.'
Wait... you're saying it was selfish for Aldrin to have communion on the moon and we should be offended? You said yourself he was a devout Presbyterian... he could have died up there. So, sure, play some golf up and bring pictures of penises, because after all, this could be a one way trip... but bring the Eucharist up there because it could be your last... and that's offensive?

NASA also "lost" most of their footage.
+Bryon Lape right when an investigator was looking for it
about no. one: Yes, the moonlanding was about science, and for all human kind, that doesn't mean that he can't have his own belief, and act on it. HE prayed and had his communion ceremony... He didn't force anyone else to do so, so it's all fine. If people feel offended, too bad. He has the right to believe what he wants too...
Plus, people are acting like no one could be both religious and a scientist.
If viewers recorded the moon landings and returned them to the BBC in 2012, what exactly did they record with? VHS and Betamax were well over seven years away and a Sony U-Matic machine cost the same as a small house.
