Did we really land on the moon?

Answer 1

I didn't, but some folks did ;-)

All the talk about the landings being fake is just silly conspiracy-theory sort of stuff. Frankly, it would be far harder to make all that up, then keep it secret for all of these years than it would be to simply have landed on the moon in the first place. Getting to the moon was a technological feat, but certainly well within our technological and economic capabilities at the time. None of the supposed evidence for faking really adds up to anything. Notice the only people who really think the landings were fake are people who don't have much education in the relavant fields of science, and thus are easily duped by a few smart but misguided lunatics (hmmm...lunatics....is that a pun?) -some of whom are probably just takig advantage of an opportunity to make a name for themselves and sell a few books.

Answer 2

Yes We Did Go to the Moon. As with all conspiracy's, They are never 100% true and are made for convincing people no matter what. The Conspiracy theory of Man never walking on the moon was disproved not long ago by a Japanese Spacecraft using Ultra Violet Light and detecting Human Contact on the Moon.
Dont Believe Every Conspiracy theory that you see.
Hope this helped - Its a really interesting subject though!

Answer 3

Yes the nasa sent the first man to land on the moon, we saw it live on TV,
The reason why they dont go back to the moon now is because the mission is accomplished on the moon,, Mars seems more important to understand the origin of life...

Answer 4

That was actually the question of the year. Did we really land on the moon? I don't really know because the people who say that we did can prove it by showing us recorded activity on the moon, but people who say we did not can prove it by pointing out flaws in the same recorded activity, so I would not really know. This is just another one those things that only the government knows. Damn I wish I was working for the government...they have sooo many secrets I want to know.

Answer 5

July 21, 1969. The crew of Apollo 11 landed on the moon. Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon and place the American flag in the Sea of Tranquility. It is still there today, of course. go to nasa.cov and type in space race it'll tell you everything

Answer 6

I really don't think we ever landed on the moon. If we landed on the moon we would, since the claimed landings have had updated photos from telescopes or satellites of the lander,U.S. flag or the Lunar rovers. Why the lack of interest? I would imagine new updated photos would be worth allot of money. Today maned flights to space, we only seem to be able to Obit the Earth.

Answer 7

Yes.

Apollo 11 put a laser reflector on the moon. If you had a powerful enough laser, and the training to use it and interpret the results, if you shot the laser to that precise site, you would get the beam bouncing back to you.

Seems pretty definitive to me.

(2 other points: it was 1969; it was the cold war. Had we faked it, the Soviets would have exposed the hoax for the world to see.

Too, the moon rocks are chemically different from any on Earth. Artificail rocks are made of Earth materials, and their processed origins are easy to determine.)

Answer 8

We really did land on the moon. It cost countless millions of dollars, and many human lives. All we have to show for it is so really grainy black and white television footage, and a couple of hundred pounds of moon rocks. That seems like a fair trade off. It isn't like all that money and scientific research , was needed to cure diseases, or solve world hunger. Those moon rocks will really come in handy, if we run short on paper weights, or we need to build a new wall somewhere. It really was important to travel 250,000 miles, to collect those rocks.

Answer 9

There are several people who make it their business to convince the rest of us that the whole Apollo program was a hoax. They believe they have many incontrovertible facts that support their case like (but not limited to(:

1) flapping flag
2) shadows at wrong angle
3) lack of star field
4) astronaut motion on the moon's surface is just earthbound motion slowed down a bit.
5) lack of landing motor ejecta


However all of the claims, and I mean *all* of them have been scientifically disproved. Statement of fact.

It is too hard apparently, for them to give up on their hard won claims that they have invested to much time and effort. They don't buy the scientific basis for the disproved theories.

That's ok though. We need conspiracy theorists in our midst's to catch the one true conspiracy if and when it ever materializes...

Answer 10

Yes, The United States was the first to put a man on the moon. I was around to witness it on live TV!
