This Morning interviewed this ‘fake moon landings’ guy and these really are the only responses you need
We go live – sort of – to ITV’s This Morning where they thought it might be a good idea to fill a few minutes of airtime with this chap.
He’s Martin Kenny and he believes the moon landings were faked because the moon’s not solid so you can’t possibly land on it. But let’s not speak for him, have a listen yourself.

And these really are the only responses you need.

What do you think? I think this guy is A STUPID CUNT. Stop giving airtime to appalling maniacs. Pretty sure there’s a sketch about this… https://t.co/MzjcgwMgDZ

This is an unbelievably awful editorial decision. But in many ways horribly predictable. Brexit & Trump have cleared the way for taking every tinfoil-hatted reality-denier seriously. In the deep end, Holocaust denial. In the shallow end, undiluted hogwash like this. https://t.co/1cuijswFjb

What do I think, @thismorning? I think your editorial department has lost its fucking mind and that your TV show is swimming open-mouthed through the raw sewage of the new world of Brexit and Trump, in which any old bollocks can be presented as a ‘theory’. That’s what I think. https://t.co/NpVZp8vZ73

This may seem like "just a laugh entertainment", but it's of a piece with demagogues & their acolytes spewing far more corrosive lies, demonising experts as "tools of the elite", & all enabled by media seeking false balance. Call me melodramatic, but civilisations end this way. https://t.co/K14sakoFRk

"Next, my five year old tells us that father Christmas must be real because where do the presents come from? A Rocket scientist explains the problems"
Seriously, if this is the level of "debate" we have, we deserve to be in the shitpile we're in. https://t.co/cgyuH4tIZo— Mike "Stocking up on tins and Pot Noodles" Holden (@MikeHolden42) August 2, 2018

I think – aren't there more useful and important things you could put on the telly instead of this pish? https://t.co/Mjw6MQrEkL

I think you're complicit in everything that is happening right now by endorsing this kind of fact free bullshit for the sake of "balance" https://t.co/zmfh6xKrN9

I think tv like this is responsible for so much of the troubles we're currently facing in this world. Undermining science. Elevating opinion over evidence. Humiliating experts and making idiots famous. https://t.co/qLpaCe7pJk

And then there were people like this, who neatly illustrate the point everyone else was trying to make.
This is a laugh between my husband and I as I don’t believe it ever happened! He says I’m crazy! Apart from all the other reasons-y has man never went again with all the modern day technology? Coz it never happened!

Agree with you also…..if they can do it back then, then why, with all our advanced science and technology have we never been back?

B/c its really expensive to send a person into space & there’s nothing on the moon we want. Exploration is done by robots now, unless they’re sending someone to a space station for testing or maintenance or whatevs.
— Charley Smith (@charley_asmith) August 2, 2018
Still-I think man would go back if they could! Just don’t believe it ever happened.
— Donna Lindsay (@dinkydee85) August 2, 2018
They… Didn’t only go once… You do know this right?

The look on the guy’s face at the end just says it all. He’s the only one not taking it seriously.
