Yes it is. Forum member JayUtah (owner of the Moonbase Clavius Apollo hoax debunking site) was a consultant for that episode.

Unfortunately (for me) I have not seen this. Only terrestrial TV so we only get a few old episodes repeated ad nauseam (Quest TV in the UK). I would rather watch them on the TV than on line (if they are available on line, not looked).

Well, if you change your mind (and if the link works where you are), here it is:

That particular episode is not available on Netflix in the U.S. but it is on Amazon Prime. :)

In this Youtube clip of Mythbusters, the presenter states "You can tell it's Neil because he has the red command stripe". The red command stripe was first worn on the moon by Al Shepard, although it should have been Jim Lovell.

Cheers. Just a bit old fashioned, rather put me feet up in front of the telly rather than a laptop. Might give it whirl though seeing as I keep missing them.


Edit. Just bought a new disc thingamabob that has netflix and youtube...

mythbusters did a good job on this , but they used a lot of nasa based help,i think to really prove the truth it has to come other sources

Oh, you mean like engineers with experience in the aerospace industry, like Jay Windley, or astronomers who have debunked this hoax nonsense for years, like Phil Plait?

Oh, wait both of them were involved with the Mythbusters episode.

I'm curious..please give examples of other "sources" you think would be better suited to tell the "truth".

Why? Would the results from the vacuum chamber tests be any different if they used someone else's chamber? Would their tests aboard the "vomit comet" be different if they used someone else's plane?

How about Bart Sibrel?...he's a pretty "stand up guy"...that is until Buzz knocked him on his can for calling him a liar, a coward, and a thief.

The "proof" needs to come from anyone that says the missions were faked.  Your claim, your proof.

Actually, they did much of the work without NASA, including  the photographs of shadows, the visit to the lunar laser ranging telescope, and the tests of slow motion and wire supports. Even the 1/6g airplane rides were provided by a commercial company, not NASA's famous 'vomit comet'.

They did use a NASA vacuum chamber to recreate a bootprint and to see how a flag swings without air. But unless you're arguing that NASA centers have a magic reality distortion field that causes their vacuum to behave differently than elsewhere, this doesn't do much for your argument.

well if they used some nasa stuff and got their own results i guess thats ok,  i thought the lazer shooting to the moon , bouncing off the mirror was all nasa,  i havent seen the episode for since it was first on.

I think that was McDonald Observatory, which is affiliated with the University of Texas.
