Rand Simberg posts on this exchange between Buzz Aldrin and a kook who believes the Moon landing was a hoax.

On Tuesday, in Sibrel's own words, referring to Buzz, "I approached him and asked him again to swear on a Bible that he went to the moon, and told him he was a thief for taking money to give an interview for something he didn't do..."

Whereupon the second man to walk on the Moon Sunday-punched the kook. Now, although Simberg does make a sound case that the alleged punch never happened - would a 72 year old MIT graduate really punch a 37 year old conspiracy nut, and how hard would it be to fake this so-called event - nonetheless the publishing staff of Lex Communis is hoarding its spare change for a Buzz Aldrin Beer Night.

And, by the way, here is a site that debunks the "Moon landing was a hoax" lunatics.
