In Which the Mythbusters Outdo Themselves

Mythbusters, otherwise known as the best show on television, is soon to be airing an episode in which the scale of bustage they're engaging in can only be called epic.

You can see the preview here.

Oh, what the hell, I'll embed it for you.



The Mythbusters will be taking on one of the largest, strangest conspiracy theories ever - that NASA faked the moon landing. They'll be doing everything that the moon hoax folks say NASA did, from slowing down footage of bouncing to see if it looks like running in reduced gravity, to planting footprints and a replica flag in a man-sized vacuum chamber.

If I have to break into someone's house to see this episode, I will. I suggest you all do the same.

For more on what the "other side" thinks, go here, where real-live astronomer deals with the most common hoax claims, as laid out so helpfully in that atrocious Fox program, "Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?"

Hint: yes, we did.
