In fact, it&#8217;s a real Thriller.<\/p>\n<p>Reader Dan Brennan from <a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"http:\/\/www.unmannedspaceflight.com\/\">the Unmanned Space Flight bulletin board<\/a> sent this picture to me: <\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.discovermagazine.com\/badastronomy\/files\/2010\/01\/wechoosethemoon_jackson.jpg\" alt=\"wechoosethemoon_jackson\" title=\"wechoosethemoon_jackson\" width=\"610\" height=\"342\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10754\"\/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a shot from Apollo 11 of Buzz Aldrin in the command module, a screen capture from the amazing (but Flash-heavy) site <a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"http:\/\/www.wechoosethemoon.org\/\">We Choose the Moon<\/a>. Before I even read the content of Dan&#8217;s email I knew what he wanted to show me. Can you see it? Look just to the right of Buzz, at what should be a gauge on the control panel&#8230; but actually shows what looks for all the world (well, all the cis-lunar space) like Michael Jackson! <\/p>\n<p>In fact, I think it <strong>is<\/strong> Michael Jackson.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.discovermagazine.com\/badastronomy\/files\/2010\/01\/jackson_apollo.jpg\" alt=\"jackson_apollo\" title=\"jackson_apollo\" width=\"277\" height=\"191\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10753\"\/>The evidence is overwhelming. Sure, he looks like he&#8217;s wearing an eyepatch, but given his wardrobe choices over the years, is an eyepatch all that unlikely? And look at this picture for comparison &#8212; my Photoshop skillz are unmatched (happily for millions of satisfied Adobe customers). The resemblance is too strong to be coincidence.<\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s the deal? You might think that Buzz was a fan, so he had a picture of Jackson taped to the console &#8212; though Michael was only about 11 when our first mission to the Moon launched, so that&#8217;s silly. The gauge in the panel is visible in other images, and you can tell there&#8217;s a glass cover on it. That means the face is not taped on, but is in fact <em>a reflection!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The conclusion is clear. What&#8217;s going on here, obviously, is that a time-traveling Michael Jackson stowed away aboard the Apollo 11 capsule to experience the mission for himself. <\/p>\n<p>I mean, c&#8217;mon. How do you think he learned how to moonwalk?<\/p>\n<p>Shamone! <\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/hyYZmnQW2N7mveEN2mEuBqdI03Q\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/hyYZmnQW2N7mveEN2mEuBqdI03Q\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap><\/a><br \/>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\"  href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/hyYZmnQW2N7mveEN2mEuBqdI03Q\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/hyYZmnQW2N7mveEN2mEuBqdI03Q\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/BadAstronomyBlog\/~4\/RlUTs90EOfo\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/DiscoverMag\/~4\/J-3m9QbMy2s\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You may know me as a buster of the Moon landing hoax claims, debunking the dumbosity of people who think the Apollo missions were faked.
