What you or anyone else thinks is irrelevant. We landed on the Moon. That's not a subjective opinion - it's an incontrovertible scientific fact. The conspiracy theory relies solely upon bad science and faulty common sense. You've been tricked by fiction that's made to seem like fact.



We don't have to take the government's word for it. There is a mountain of independent evidence that proves, to the highest possible standard, that we went to the Moon. Consider:

1) Apollo 11 left a retroreflector on the lunar surface that astronomers have detected thousands of times.

2) Independent radio telescopes, when pointed at the Moon, detected the Apollo transmissions. If there hadn't been a ship there, they wouldn't have heard anything.

3) The Moon rocks have been thoroughly analyzed by geologists, who conclude that the rocks formed billions of years ago on the Moon. They explain that there's no way for NASA to fake the rocks.

4) No scientist rejects the landings. If there was something fishy about the landings, would it not be scientists who would notice? Instead, scientists are the first to vigorously defend the landings.



This evidence is irrefutable; to reject it is to reject all modern science. I challenge you to examine your "evidence"; I feel that if you do, you will realize how absurd it is.

I believe it was a hoax plain and simple.

Simple first than one to think about.



#1Simple

If we can see a 6' crater on the Moon with a telescope,why can't we seen the LEM spacecraft on the Moon's surface? It's simplily NOT there.They alledgedly landed on the side facing the Earth we ought to be able to see it.Right?



#2Think about this

How did the they ever make a footprints on the surface of the Moon.It has very little gravity and no water because the Sun would burn it off in no time.No atmosphere either.

What make the soil hold together to form a footprint?Moisture and the adhesion Right?



There are many other reasons I believe it was a hoax. I would seriously look carefully of the evidence



Do you really trust our government?



Maybe there is a Santa Claus and an Easter Bunny after all.

The evidence I've seen to support the fake moon landing theory is very intriguing. The government has always been accused of pulling the covers over the public eye so why not with this too?



If it was faked I wonder how in the world the astronauts have been able to keep this secret to themselves. I'd imagine it'd be a hard thing to live with and that they'd have eventually broken down at some point and admitted it to somebody.



Maybe it all makes sense. You've heard that old complaint "We can send a man to the moon but we can't...(insert shortcoming here)". Well, maybe the reason why is because "we" never really sent people up there.

I think the real question that you "conspiracy nuts" should be asking yourselves is..... If they were going to pull this massive and elaborate cover-up which had only one main purpose (To beat the Soviets to it), then why wouldn't we have faked being the first with a satellite in orbit? Why didn't we fake being the first with a man in orbit, a woman in orbit, etc....? Certainly those things would have been much easier to fake and yet they didn't happen. Guess what? The faking of the moon landings didn't happen either. We came together as a country and united behind a dream that we would reach the moon by the end of that decade and it was realized. Had we maintained that same level of passion or had the Soviets pushed us towards that end, just imagine where we might be today. 38 years later and we still haven't made that next "giant leap".

Moon Rocks



NASA placed several mirrors so scientist could measure the speed of light and preform experiments. The Mirrors are there.



The people who say there are no stars in the background don't understand how photography and light intake work. They are ignorant and a explanation can easily found on this subject.



When you sticking a flag into the earth, the flag will move. If you don't believe me then try it yourself inside you home where there is no wind. Planting a flag will cause it to move genius's.



So the US government got away with tricking the entire world, six times? Russia and China would have loved to prove that it was a hoax I bet, but you don't see them saying it's false



When you talk to astronauts who flew on the first missions and they break down into tears because they realize it was truly the greatest accomplishment for mankind, their tears must be fake also.

Yes. Somehow, a DEMOCRATIC government pulled off a communist-esque stunt and fooled MILLIONS of people-including nearly half a million that WORKED on the moon landing shuttle-with technology from the SIXTIES, which couldn't even produce realistic looking horror movies, that nobody landed on the Moon, and then were able to keep QUIET the ASTRONAUTS who could have made MILLIONS selling the "truth" to magazines. Then they pulled it off again FIVE MORE TIMES!!! What could this world be coming to? 0.o



Of course the lunar landings are fake!!!

Those who answer to this question does not understand a few things. Why the need to prove that we have not landed in the moon? Is it purely a scientific enquiry? No, There are relegious fanatics who think that you can not land in the moon. According to them the moon is a god or goddess and man can not conquer the moon. Man landing in the moon goes against their relegious teachings. So they have to find out all the proofs to prove that nobody has landed in the moon.

sure they did land on the moon, purely people who - hate the government - be attentive to much less technological information than a highschool student - intend to make funds with their books and movies - only are trolling declare in any different case. NASA has i.e. - eyewitnesses - an entire load of documentation (consisting of the monitoring records from foreign places international places) - hundreds of photos - hours of action picture - the laser reflectors - >300kg of moonrocks - a congratulation from the russians lots of the landingdeniers counterclaims do no longer even choose an authority to be shown incorrect, they're only stupid. . only one occasion: Hoaxers declare that the flag became waving in some wind Now anyone who bothers to do a splash diagnosis (as a substitute of based on the fraudulent Snippets the Hoaxers teach) will discover out, that the flag became held up by utilising a cord, and appeared purely to be waving on an analogous time as (and shortly after) being dealt with by utilising between the astronauts. you besides could ought to ask your self whether it rather is believeable that NASA could omit a waving flag in the event that they had to pretend it? Now specific answerers could declare in any different case yet once you study their stuff, you will see that one and all their "information" has been debunked distinctive circumstances. Do they properly known it? Are they even attempt to describe why the explantions given are incorrect? No, they only repeat an analogous bunch of lies many times lower back. that could desire to grant you a concept approximately the two the commonplace of their learn or their honesty...

You have enough proofs in form of videos, do you?



Let me tell you something. I have in my DVD collection the ENTIRE film and TV record from all six landings and the five other manned flights, as well as film of the unmanned tests, amounting to a few days worth of motion picture footage. There are thousands of photographs, and I've seen most of them. There are film progress reports on the development and flights leading to the landings. There are documents written at the time that I have read. There are books written since by the men who worked on the program that I have read. I have spoken to some of the astronauts and ground controllers. I have seen some of the actual flight hardware that was built. I have handled lunar rock samples. I have studied this whole subject for the last seven years. I'll bet you've seen a few short videos and been taken in by the total lack of basic scientific understanding displayed in them, just as several of the answerers here have.



A waving flag? It has a rod sewn across the top to hold it out precisely because in a vacuum it WON'T wave. And why would NASA be so STUPID as to have a huge breeze blowing on a set they were trying to fake a vacuum in?



Odd shadows? Just use your own eyes and look around at the many examples of non-paralel shadows cast by the sun you'll see every single day. It's called perspective and uneven ground.



No blast crater or scroch marks under the LM? Should there be? has anyone gone out and calculated the force of the LM engine at touchdown? I have, and it shouldn't blast a crater in the surface. If you look at the photos (the high-res ones, not crappy JPEGs, you can see evidence of marks in the dust caused by a blowing descent engine.



No stars? Elementary photography. The lunar surface was in sunlight, thousands of times brighter than any star. You cannot capture them both on film together.



Radiation? I've never seen a conspiracy theory that shows any understanding of radiation. The belief that feet of lead would be needed to protect the astronauts is laughable to anyone with any real knowledge of radiation. Professor van Allen himself, the man for whom the radiation belts surrounding Earth were named, said that they posed no barrier to manned space flight.



400,000 people worked on Apollo at its peak. Not one of them has come forward and said it was faked. Not one qualified physicist, engineer or photographic analyst has found anything wrong with Apollo. Not one geologist has claimed the lunar samples from Apollo are anything other than moon rocks brought back from the surface. Your videos had better explain all that and come up with a coherent alternative that better fits the vast amounts of available evidence, or they are worth jack.

These Americans - right from Columbus, who claimed that he discovered India whe he landed in northen America. Naturally, they have a history of such mis-landings. But, how you nurse a grudge against these americans. Did they ask donation from you for their trip. Even if they did not, the earth will rotate to East from West, and you won't be able to buy a ticket for the landings, because it is so costly.

The landings were staged at Area-51. The hoax was done so poorly, that the flag was waving in the video. There's no atmosphere in space, so that means no wind. People who know nothing about the subject will tell you that they did infact land on the moon, however, many things point to the big 'NO'.

And Wayne, no, it wouldn't wave and flap around in a non-atmospherical environment.

If your "prof" (sic) is in video only, I'd wager there's not enough to support your answer.



Best of luck to you; hope when the time comes, the Rennasaince works out.

It was not fake and Russians and other space stations have confirmed this.



India and China both have planed a mission to moon soon and they will confirm it on, at least a fly by.



If you have enough money to spend, then you can buy a telescope and take a good look at the lander on the moon still standing.

the videos showing that the landings were fake are fake. we landed on the moon. 100% sure we did.

I don't doubt you for a seccond! We NEVER went to the moon. What about the Van Allen Radiation Belts surrounding the Earth?And there was so much pressure. We faked it to get the public's mind off the Vitnam and Cold War. There are so many problens with the footage! The light cast 2 shadows. The Flag is waving and third, look at the rest of the lunar ground. There are no scortch marks near the landing site!















BIG FAKE!!!

Of course the lunar landings were faked (..all six of 'em..) Also, the Earth is flat, and Elvis is alive and working in a donut shop in Cleveland.
2007-08-14 11:05:28 UTC
PLEASE!!!! Get a fricken good telescope and look at the lander and flag on the moon. It makes me sick that people would even venture to say that. Have you ever even seen a telescope? And for JC and others that say there is no wind in space... look it up. There is SOLAR WIND in space. Jesus!! You fricken people!!!
2007-08-14 09:32:41 UTC
I Got the same question. i honestly have no clu.e I Always Thought it was real but then i heard on adult swim that it was fake. And it just came to me. I Never even thought that it was possibly fake. But now i do.

i belive we never landed on the moon if you have seen videos the american flag is waving and in space there is no air so that flag can not wave like how they show it. i think it was a way for america to put pressure on other countrys that they were way ahead of technology that just wat i think



hope it helps
