did the moon landings take place?

Question

Did the moon landings actually take place some evidence would suggest not what do you think?

Answer 1

Yes, 24 men have flown to the Moon and 12 of them walked on it. Neil Armstrong was first, but Buzz Aldrin, Pete Conrad, Alan Bean, Alan Shepard, Ed Mitchell, Dave Scott, Jim Irwin, John Young, Charlie Duke, Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt walked on the Moon too and they also deserve recognition.



The Moon hoax theories are based on ignorance, misinformation, and bad research. They have been debunked many times. Images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter have shown the leftover Apollo hardware and even astronaut footpaths on the Moon's surface. The Americans won the space race fairly. The landings were real and saying they weren't is an insult to the engineers and scientists who worked hard for years on the program and the astronauts who risked their lives.



Even if the entire United States cooperated in the scheme, there is no way in hell NASA could have fooled the USSR with a fraudulent lunar landing. Such a fraud would have been easily and immediately exposed by USSR radio telescope work.



And that's not even getting into the hundreds of pounds of Moon rocks that were brought back, or the retroreflectors that were carefully placed on the lunar surface.

Answer 2

NO evidence suggests that it did not happen. Just junk science from a bunch of people trying to sell a book or a DVD.



We landed there SIX TIMES! The Lunar Recon Orbiter is circling the moon right now taking pictures. You can see the equipment on the moon and even where the astronauts walked and disturbed the lunar dust.

Answer 3

I'm sure they did. You may be too young to remember the iron curtain, but back then their was quite a power struggle between the USA and USSR (The union of soviet socialist republics). During it's existence up until 1991 people were kept very much in the dark as to events in the outside world and mentality was suppressed. Most of these rumours that the moon landing never happened started within the ussr in order not to undermine Russias appearance of power. After it's fall, and people were permitted to travel freely or at least freer, they brought these rumours with them. Many people in eastern europe still believe these rumours today.

Answer 4

Faking it successfully would probably have cost many times what it cost to actually do it, even then it would have taken 10's of thousands of people to keep their mouth shut for 40 years, even 3rd world countries that did not have space travel had telescopes and radar, I think somebody would have noticed if those signals were coming from a different direction and not the moon.

Answer 5

The Russians could determine the direction of radio broadcasts. If the astronauts had not been on the Moon, don't you think the Russians would have been all over it? Don't you think the Russians would have shouted "HOAX!" to the entire world as loudly as they could?



The Russian silence should be all the proof anyone needs that the moon landings actually happened.

Answer 6

The six Apollo Moon landings are among the best documented events in human history: thousands of pictures, hours of video, nearly half a ton of Moon rocks, and millions of eye witnesses, including myself. There is not a single scientist in the world who doubts that they took place. To deny them is to discredit the magnificent achievement of the team which went to the Moon, and to reveal abysmal scientific ignorance.



The proofs of the Moon landings have been documented in detail on web sites like these:

http://www.braeunig.us/space/hoax.htm

http://www.clavius.org/



If further proof is needed, NASA recently released images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter showing 5 of the 6 Apollo landers, still on the surface of the Moon:

Answer 7

This is the real moon...with the real landing sites of the Apollo missions....as seen by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

Answer 8

6 situations with 12 Astronauts, Why we're not doing it greater, is by technique of the fact we are doing area Shuttles. and sattelites, and orbiting telescopes, robots. and photograph voltaic power. considering that only landing issues on the moon, won't be technological progression.

Answer 9

ANY so called evidence you or anyone else provides would be easily refuted. The fact that you did not list a single piece of 'evidence' tells me you don't have a clue what you are talking about.

Answer 10

I didnt spend 8 years of my life building parts for the Apollo program for nothing ya dork!

Answer 11

There is no evidence that the landings did not occur. Ramblings from delusional wankers is not evidence...

Answer 12

Troll, you know better than that Stephan, come on!

Answer 13

Do you also question the holocaust?



Conspiracy theories run rampant.

Answer 14

the American flag is still there if you have a good strong telescope, you can see it. you can also see the tracks from the LEM
