how many miles are from planet earth to the moon? and did really armstrong walked on the moon? or was a fake?

Answer 1

Your question has been answered. In fact, even the largest telescopes do not have the resolving capacity to see a flag on the moon.

Why would you think it was faked?

Answer 2

Although my wife's father performed fuel calculations for the original Apollo landing, I'll spare you that speech. Instead, I will encourage you to watch two programs. The first show is called Conspiracy Moon Landing that it currently showing on the National Geographic Channel and it pretty much obliterates all of the popular conspiracy theories.

I would also encourage you to watch a movie called Capricorn One. Made it 1978, it is a fictional story about a fake mission to Mars. Although it is a science fiction story, it is a good example of how utterly impossible it would be to fake a moon landing for any length of time.

12 men walked on the moon from 1969 to 1972 and we have neither the resources nor the technology to pull off that big of a hoax for so long. Hundreds of thousands of people have worked on the space program. It would be far easier to put someone on the moon than to try and fake it and keep it secret for nearly 40 years.

The landings came at a time when our space program was ultra competitive with the former Soviet Union. Remember how big of a deal it was when Sputnik was put into orbit? They had the technology to monitor our moon shots and transmissions. Don't you think they would have called us out if they had evidence that it was all fake?

Perhaps the most definitive proof of our trip to the moon is what we left behind. For the last 35+ years, scientists have been beaming lasers to the moon and measuring the return times. How are they doing this? The beams are reflected back by equipment left on the moon on at 3 different locations.

Case closed.

Answer 3

250,000 or so. I was alive and well when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. I saw it. Hollywood couldn't have done that. I saw the lift-off, splash landing, and rocks brought back from the moon. All of the evidence points to that event being real. Cameras buzzing, recordings of voices, spent fuel, etc. Hard to imagine why we would want to fake that.

No one doubted it at the time, and no one doubted that Apollo 13 was a total failure in a later attempt to get back to the moon. If it were all a gag, the gag would still be on, don't you think? We see evidence of success AND failure. The publicized failures underscore the legitimacy of the successes. Plus, you can go talk to Neil Armstrong and others and ask what they saw.

Answer 4

It varies. The orbit isn't perfectly circular, it's elliptical. Roughly 281,000 average. Yeah, Armstrong walked on the moon. No one disputes they blasted into space, hundreds of thousands saw that in person. That's the hard part! Once you're up there the getting to the moon part is technologically a lot easier. I can shoot a hundred holes in the arguments against it. That was just Fox network out to make an easy buck from a generation too young to know about the space program. It worked.

Answer 5

Acording to Wikipedia, the distance from the earth to the moon is about 238,857 miles, or 384,403 kilometers, and yes, Armstrong really walked on the moon.

Here, I can prove it. If the moon walks were fakes, the Soviet Union would have known about it. They were in space too, and there is no way on this planet, or on the moon, for that matter, that our greatest rivals would have allowed us to pull off that kind of a scam.

Answer 6

The distance from the Earth to the Moon is approximately 238,855 miles (384,400 km.)

NASA claims that Niel Armstrong really did walk on the moon.

Answer 7

238,900 miles is the average distance to the moon. It's orbit is not a perfect circle so it varies.
Yes all of the moon landings were real. Below is a link to Snopes.com that will help answer your questions. The idiot who answered your question and said he has seen the flag is full of you know what. There is no telescope on earth or in orbit that is capable of the resolution necessary to show the flag or anything else left behind by the astronauts.

Answer 8

181,000 miles give or take a few feet. And yes it was real I have seen his Flag on a telescope.

Answer 9

aprox 240 thousand miles and yes he did
