    Golf, Scotlands most memorable contribution to the Apollo program.

    @forestinfullbloom Dont be such a tool. Golf buddies razzing each other over slicing/hooks happens all the time. Sometimes even when the ball goes straight.

    Why are you people saying the moon landings are rubbish? Does it go against your religion or something? Go watch mythbusters or something.

    Why does the golf ball drop in real time – surely it should have ‘floated’ down. Also, it is interesting that we don’t actually see how far the ball goes. Interesting too, that Shepard ‘just so happens to have a 6 iron’ to attach to his retriever. Anyone ever tried attaching a clubhead to a real shaft? Not easy. How did he get it to stay on? Moon landings? Complete rubbish.

    yteh we can really see the ball, clowns

    Alan Shepard never walked on the moon. The Apollo moon missions were faked in a studio. Here’s a link to some of the hoax evidence.

    where are the stars? i mean.. the background is totally blank. weird.

    It’s beautiful the way the moon dust flies and smacks back to the earth like wet sand. The dust is like flour- on earth it would create a cloud that would linger for a minute. Only, having no air molecules to suspend it, the dust falls.

  12. forestinfullbloom says:

    Sliced the ball in vacuum. How do you slice a ball in vacuum. You need air to do it, isn’t it. All emotional white trash can google the word “Magnus effect” to understand slicing a golf ball.
    Houston and eagle have memorised their lines quite well. Good actors. They should be nominated for the Oscar.

    One person was hit in the head by the golf ball and dis-liked the video…

  14. xEPICxStArZz says:

    If he hit the ball the ball would be pushed backwards in the direction it came from due to the stress of the low gravity and would most likely float upwards eventually spinning really fast as the gravity pushes both ways then itt would probably explode asfter the pressure imploding creating a small hole with a gravitationall pull just like a black hole (a star or tons of matter that has eventually imploded.)

    @NASAvsPETE yea area 51

    Houston always use “beeps” to make it sound real

  16. nasafakedit says:

    Nasa Nazi astronuat Clowns fucking around in area51 nevada desert

  17. Justwannalogon says:

    I like how he says “miles and miles and miles” as soon as he hits it.

  18. SketchbookStudios1 says:

    I would kicked a soccer ball on the moon!I can’t even see the golg ball!XD

  19. sfchris says:

    Not too many years from now, the location where that golf ball landed will be under plexiglass for moon tourists to gaze at……

  20. NASAvsPETE says:

    Nevada soil not bad for waking balls all day thats for sure !

  21. NASAvsPETE says:

    where did it go?

  22. DickHead69able says:

    @zoronmonk
    errr…
    good one?…

  23. bengacris says:

    HAhahahah, but the ball would have been consumed :P

  24. zoronmonk says:

    almost 40 years later the golf ball re-entered earths atmosphere. most experts can only guess where it landed but some evidence points to a small island south of the united states known as “Haiti”

  25. david1234h says:
