Turns out Welling­ton City Coun­cil­lor Bryan Pep­perell isn’t sure about the authen­tic­i­ty of the moon land­ings. On his face­book page, he states…

The moon land­ings are an open ques­tion. Hav­ing worked in pho­tog­ra­phy in the 1960’s I’m still try­ing to fig­ure out how the films sur­vived 280F. There are more unan­swered ques­tions but is it a crime to doubt???

The “film would have melt­ed on the moon” idea is one of those many bits of evi­dence pulled out by moon-land­ings-were-a-hoax con­spir­a­cy the­o­rists, which, when rea­son and sci­ence is applied, is quick­ly debunked.

Bryan would also appear open to the idea that the Israeli intel­li­gence ser­vice — Mossad — were behind 9/11 (hav­ing shared this video, also from his face­book page).

Who knew we had such an, er, ‘open-mind­ed’ rep­re­sen­ta­tive on our coun­cil seats?
