Do you think the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing was real?

Question

Or do you think it was a hoax and Kubrick was in charge? (or something else?)

Answer 1

I know it was. There were 5 more successful (and one failed attempt; Apollo 13) landings after it, so unless you claim they were all fake I can't imagine a believable reason why they would fake one and then do a real one (Apollo 12) only four months later.



And if you claim they are all fake I say this.



People make the mistake of comparing a modern laptop costing $1,000 to a million dollar mainframe that had far less computing power and filled a room in 1969 and say that proves technology has advanced enough to make it easier to go to the Moon today. From this they jump to the conclusion that if it still too expensive and difficult today it must have been impossible then.



What they should do is compare a $20,000 car today that gets the same MPG and has the same top speed as a car costing $3,000 in 1969 and then realize that only computers (and all electronics technology) has enjoyed amazing advances while cars (and all transportation technologies including rockets) have not. So it is just as expensive and difficult today as it was in 1969 and still not worth to cost to keep doing it. This is also why so many great robotic missions to planets have flown since then. Because the small, light weight, and highly capable robotic space craft we can build with advanced electronics technology can be easily sent much farther away than the Moon with the same old inefficient and expensive rockets we are still using.



If you compare the appearance of the Moon in the Apollo pictures and videos to what it looks like in the movie "2001, a Space Odyssey", you see they look totally different.

Answer 2

All 6 (six) moon landings were real. There was no way to fake them. There was no way to ensure the silence of the tens of thousands of people involved in the many aspects of the moon launches and landings.



ALL of the so-called evidence from the non-believers has been totally discredited and disproved many times by many reputable scientific organizations.

Answer 3

Yes it was real and so were the other Five Manned Landings.

12 Men have walked on the Moon.

The most documented event in human history. Impossible to fake.

Answer 4

Of course the moon landings were real. The evidence for the moon landings is so overwhelming you'd have to either be mentally lazy or wilfully ignorant to still think they were faked.

Answer 5

Since you know that the landings actually occurred, as do all intelligent individuals, why even ask the question? The only answers denying that the landings occurred with be from profoundly ignorant people, morons, or trolls. Why would anyone care what those people think? There opinions are of absolutely no value. Would make as much sense to ask who believes in a flat earth or the geocentric model of the solar system.

Answer 6

Yes.



My uncle, a television cameraman, helped film just about everything that happened on earth, and HER SAW IT.



While Kubricks "2001" had groundbreaking special effects for its time, it now looks dated, almost silly, compared to special effects NOW. But the films from the 1969 moon landing STILL look as convincing toady as they did in 1969, showing that those films ARE REAL.

Answer 7

Unlike most of the people on here, I was around in 1969. At the right time of day, you could see the shadow of the landing craft with a good pair of fieldglasses or a mounted telescope.



Of course, it could all have been faked. They sent a space ship up in advance and someone painted the shadow of the landing craft. Then later they'd have sent up another space ship and rubbed it out again.

Answer 8

Of course it was real.



The only people that seem to question this historical event are kids that weren't born yet.

Since nothing of significance could possibly have happened in the world before those kids were born, the single most important achievement of modern society must have been a hoax.



So instead of dealing with the fact that they missed out on this event, they claim it couldn't have happened.

The fact is there were thousands of technicians and scientists were involved for a decade before the landing, there are hundreds of hours of data and records that couldn't possibly all be faked.

If kids today want to doubt history, that is their choice.

Don't expect rational people to agree.

Answer 9

Since you asking for opinions why or why not, I will try to answer this for you. Yes I definitely believe the Apollo Missions were real. There are, unfortunately, intelligent people out there who do at least question it. What it comes down to is just basic knowledge of astronomy, engineering, rocketry and spaceflight. Too many people are just simply ignorant of astronomy; they have no grasp of it, and humans tend to disbelieve something they don't understand.



As for those who try to propagate "Moon Landing Hoax" conspiracies, there is a peculiar psychology they have in common.

Answer 10

You are right it was real. Many people from the USA and even countries such as Saudi Arabia believe that it was a hoax created in a Hollywood studio ..and they also have many suspicions of the photos and videos taken to believe that. However if u look up Mythbusters moon landing confirmed, they show credible information on why it was real.

Answer 11

Their was no was that was faked.One theory was that the antenna on the astronauts EVA suit was used to attach a nearly invisible wire to make it seem like lower gravity, but if that were the case, the eva suit would have been pulled up on an angle.Furthermore the dust kicked up by the astronaut's equipment would not have fallen down much lower than it would on Earth but it did, their wasn't any way to fake that given the technology of the day

Answer 12

Since you asked the question, then of course it was not real. And 2 plus 2 is 9 and there's a Boogie Man in your closet and your Mom called and said it's time to come home for supper. Bye. Bye.

Answer 13

It was 100% real.



All, repeat ALL, of the evidence that claims that the lunar landings were hoaxed either is inconclusive, relies on pseudoscience, or actually proves that we went to the moon.



As well much of the reasoning is based upon finger pointing and innuendo, no supportive facts... at least none that science supports.

Answer 14

If it wasn't "REAL" then none of our modern technologies are "REAL" either, thus these words your reading via the World Wide Web must be fake too. Many of modern conveniences are here due to our exploration of space. If you or anyone still doubts it cruz by my house and I'll get out my telescope and we can look at the stuff we left up on the Moon through it. :)

Answer 15

Yes as well as Apollo 12, 14, 15, 16 & 17. How else could you get all those footprints there?

Answer 16

yes, 1969 Apollo 11 is really landed on moon,there are 6 missions gone to moon and one of them is failed but,Apollo 11 was successful in misson

Answer 17

In the end, there's really no good reason to assume it was a hoax. All the so-called "evidence" by the conspiracy theorists can easily be explained by anyone with a little knowledge of actual science or just experience with how things work.

Answer 18

Questioner - get off your high horse. If you had asked the question from the point of someone who wasn;t into the hoax, the replies would have been different.



You have to understand that there are knowledgeable people here who give their time over the years to answer questions as best they can. They are sick of the thousands of idiots who have come on here questioning the validity of the moonlandings.

Answer 19

No matter what evidence is provided that the moon landings happened and weren't faked there will always be someone out there who cries out "Conspiracy!" when they can't accept something as factual and make up their own theory because their explanation sounds better and more interesting than reality.

Answer 20

Yes. Third-Party Evidence from NASA proved that we truly landed on the moon.

Answer 21

Then use the Search Answers tool, newbie, and quit whining because you made yourself look like yet another Moon Landing Hoax moron. We see this **** here every single day, and it gets old, so if you mischaracterized yourself, intentionally or not, that's why you received the reception you did. It's your own fault. https://answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result?fr=uh3_answers_vert_gs&type=2button&p=moon%20landing%20hoax https://answers.yahoo.com/search/search_result?fr=uh3_answers_vert_gs&type=2button&p=moon%20landing%20fake

.

Yes, of course the 1969 landing was real. So were the 1970 landings, and others too. Only willfully ignorant cretins believe otherwise.

Answer 22

Ask yourself this - If NASA really did fake the moon landings, wouldn't they have faked something even bigger since then?

Answer 23

If Richard C Hoagland says we went to the moon we went to the moon. I believe all the moon landings were real.

Answer 24

12 humans landed and walked on the moon. It was real.

Answer 25

Only a total idiot would not see that all 6 moon landing were real.

Answer 26

I think it was real. If it was faked, I could understand why, for propaganda against the USSR, like mentioned in Interstellar. The evidence against it is mostly misinformed however.

Answer 27

No. There is a lot of proof that it was a hoax done in the desert of Navada near area 51 with the help of extraterrestrial aliens.

Answer 28

Of course it was real. Myth buster even did a show where they busted all the myths, and showed why it was real.

Answer 29

If it was faked then the USSR would have gone all out to prove that - they did not so it was real

Answer 30

I'm absolutely confident it was completely real.

Answer 31

yes

Answer 32

yes

Answer 33

I have always assumed it was real.

Answer 34

a better question is what sort of dolt (not you) would believe tv

Answer 35

It was real. I saw it. I was there.

Answer 36

Yes, I was abducted from there against my will by the Ed Aldrin unit.

Answer 37

I don't know if Kubrick was the one that made the film, but it looks like cheap special effects.

Answer 38

Please go be stupid about something else - check out street gangs and claim they are not dangerous, etc.

Answer 39

yes ,it is truth.

Answer 40

Nah its a load of ****

Answer 41

no

Answer 42
