What is your point of view about the moon landings?

Question

There's too many people asking this question nowadays... and now it's my turn. Pleeeeease give serious answers. And please also give proof...

First, though, I'll tell you about my point of view. I think the moon landings were real. I'll debunk a few disproofs right now:

No stars:
This is the result of the sunlight reflected off the astronauts' suits. The suits dimmed out all the stars.

Flag waving:
This is because the pole tip was blunt, and they had to rotate it a bit. This caused the flag to wave. (Or was it held up by a metal framework? I'm not sure...)

Answer 1

I can tell you that I worked with some people who were down in Florida for the Apollo 13 launch, and they saw a very big machine take off up into the sky a few miles away from them! Pretty hard to fake that!

People who defend arguments that the moon landings were faked are being silly. But what I find outrageous is that media people encourage these folks because they simply love to air any form of controversy that can be cooked up, no matter how nonsensical. I guess it brings in more viewers. But it is doing great harm by making some folks believers in what should be recognized as nonsense.

Answer 2

its all fake, heres just a few reasons why. when the lunar module landed it would have blasted away all of the dirt at least within several feet so they couldnt have left a foot print. and when you leave a footprint, its the weight of the object forcing the air molecules out of the soil. so if there isnt any atmosphere on the moon, then there wouldnt have been a footprint to begin with. they claimed that each day they were in a new area on the moon but close examination reveals that the same skyline and rocks in the foreground are there. if we went to the moon how come no other country has ever gone there too just to study it? did we really learn everthing about the moon in one trip? considering it takes years and years to study other things how is this so? if the moon has 1/6 the gravity of earth, how come when the film is sped up only 4 times the moon rover looks as though its on earth? ( ie: the way it moves in general) why didnt they see how far they could hit a golfball or throw a rock? how come there are multiple shadow angles everywhere? how come we can clearly read the flag and nasa on the side of the pod when its in on the side thats in shadow? they claim nothing was touched up on photos but thats a dead giveaway. it would have taken 1/4 of the rockets and fuel to get back home on yet there were no towering rockets on the module. even if they docked with the shuttle, the shuttle dropped its rocket canisters off before that so how did they get back home? why dont the register marks line up on the photos?those are the crosshairs used to line up the photos. how did they survive the radiation of the mars belt in a ship comprised of aluminum? how did they keep from inploding in spacesuits with zippers? air can get through a zipper. why can u see the moon out of 2 windows at the same time on opposite sides of the ship on the return trip home?i could really go on and on but the truth is they simply orbited earth for a few days in the shuttle. the whole thing was filmed in the nevada desert where the soil and rocks are the closest to that of the moon here on earth. and they hid all the props in area 51 which is why its such high security there. and as for the flag, watch again. it was waving while they were trying to tie it up, not afterwards. so the type of pole had nothing to do with that.

Answer 3

Guys like lancelot have all the answers except the big one that they have never answered.

This all happened at the height of the Cold War. Not only that, but it was during Vietnam when we were supporting one side and the Soviet Union was supporting the other. There was no love lost between the two countries. The U.S. beats the Soviet Union to the moon. The "win" the space race.

Do you think if they had faked it, the Soviets wouldn't have taken the opportunity to make the U.S. the laughing stock of the world?
Do you think they were in on the hoax, or were they easily duped, too?

Remember, they were sitting over there with their own set of radio dishes, listening in on every bit of data that came back from the Apollo flights. If the pictures had been coming from the Nevada desert instead of the moon, they could tell. You have to precisely aim one of those dishes, and they knew exactly where the Apollo capsule was at all times. If it wasn't where the U.S. claimed it was, they would have screamed hoax and it would have been all over.

Another minor point. do you think that all of the thousands of people necessary to pull of a hoax of that magnitude could have kept quiet for 35 years? With nobody's angry ex. no disgruntled former employee of NASA or any of the subcontractors cashing in to get a multimillion dollar book deal? That's a hell of a good conspiracy!!!

Answer 4

They didnt set up a base becuase there is really nothing of interest on the moon. There are no real resources and no serious scientific inquiries to be conducted.

I had an internship with a branch of Lockhead that worked with NASA, and I actually had a chance to speak with some people who worked on the Apollo project, and believe me, for the people who dedicated thier lives to the dream of man setting foot on another heavenly body... the "faked moon landing" thoery is comical at best.

Answer 5

For the people who genuinely think the moon landings were some sort of scam; Why would you believe the government were better at managing a "cover-up" of that magnitude that long ago, when they can't keep even keep secrets that should be kept now with all the technological improvements we've had since then? It makes no sense! And out of the thousands of people involved, not one of them has "spilled the beans"?

Answer 6

What caused it to stay waving. After they planted it what kept it waving. Think of all the money the pentagon pocketed just on fuel cost alone being saved. And if you dont think those nasty old generals do that you forgot about that seven thousand dollar calculator that turned out to be an automatic pencil.

Answer 7

We went to the moon. I already answered this in the link below, not going to repeat the answer.

Reichman, the reason we haven't been back is simple: money. We went there, did that, and beat the Russians. There has yet been no reason to expend the hundreds of billions of dollars it would take to go back.

Answer 8

Any amount of "evidence of fakery" is easily disproven with just one thing: A powerful telescope. One can easily see the equipment left behind on the moon itself.

Answer 9

I used to believe it..but i wondered why they haven't set up a small base yet.. i mean it has been nearly 40 years. Or if they did go..what did they really find..as to not going back in a hurry.

Answer 10

The moo landing ocured when your girl came home!
