All the buzz about the Moon began on February 15th when Fox television aired a program called Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon? Guests on the show argued that NASA technology in the 1960's wasn't up to the task of a real Moon landing. Instead, anxious to win the Space Race any way it could, NASA acted out the Apollo program in movie studios. Neil Armstrong's historic first steps on another world, the rollicking Moon Buggy rides, even Al Shepard's arcing golf shot over Fra Mauro-- it was all a fake!

Fortunately the Soviets didn't think of the gag first. They could have filmed their own fake Moon landings and really embarrassed the free world.
Shows like Conspiracy Theory ought to be as tongue-in-cheek as they sound. Unfortunately, there was an earnest feel to the Fox broadcast, enough to make you wonder if the program's makers might have fallen under their own spell.
According to the show NASA was a blundering movie producer thirty years ago. For example, Conspiracy Theory pundits pointed out a seeming discrepancy in Apollo imagery: Pictures of astronauts transmitted from the Moon don't include stars in the dark lunar sky -- an obvious production error! What happened? Did NASA film-makers forget to turn on the constellations?
Most photographers already know the answer: It's difficult to capture something very bright and something else very dim on the same piece of film -- typical emulsions don't have enough "dynamic range." Astronauts striding across the bright lunar soil in their sunlit spacesuits were literally dazzling. Setting a camera with the proper exposure for a glaring spacesuit would naturally render background stars too faint to see.

there are evidence that there was indeed no lunar landing on that much celebrated and historic event catapulting the U.S in the race to conquer the surface of the moon. It was not in a tv studio where it was unfold but rather it was filmed in a secret place popularly known as the area 51, there are conclusive evidence that It was actually taken in a a studio where there appear some technical flaws, yes the American flag is being moved by air current, there was stone that had been marked with a letter c, meaning center, and the camera uses cross hair, to be able to shot the exact place where the director wanted it to be filmed.
all the stars disappeared from the back ground, and the biggest mystery would be why would a civilian Neil Armstrong would be the designated moon walker, and the commander of the Apollo mission who is a colonel would be in a safe place flying the lunar orbiter. I am not quite sure if it was James Lovell manning the orbiter.

The man on the moon? If thats what your referring to, I heard it was a hoax. If you research it, youll find some pretty interesting things. For example, I learned in school that there is no water on the moon but on the footage of ''the first man landing on the moon'', you can see the dirt tracks from the space car machine that they had, that would only have been able to be made if there was a form of liquid mixing with the dirt. So many things to say not enough time, room , or interest lol....you should research it sometime.

Here's one you'll like. The first moon landing was done by the Nazis and they built a base. Not only that, but there is an atmosphere and water and trees and stuff and that the pictures showing it to be a wasteland are all a propaganda lie to protect the Nazi powers living up there.
Don't ya just love conspiracy theories?

Faked or no longer, you should comprehend which you're having "doubts" when you consider which you observed an hour long software on *Why we did no longer flow to the moon*. i'm extremely particular in case you observed a matching movie on *info of the Moon Landings*, offered interior an identical vogue you may on no account question it. i'm extremely particular that the presenters did no longer provide a honest, scientific rebuttal to their claims. i'm particular they did no longer herald specialists who can refute any of their recommendations. They actually purely delivered in people who've some training and make wild claims, many situations devoid of any info or get entry to to extra counsel or documents than the final public. yet, they come at different claims. there's a mountain of info, maximum of which you would be able to verify. such because of the fact the reflectors. build a small-ish telescope with a laser and additionally you will attempt that for your self. in case you haven't any longer have been given meaning or motivation, flow to McDonald Observatory in Texas, they do it each night (they degree the gap to the moon with centimeter accuracy). So who placed the mirrors on the moon interior the Sixties and 70s if we on no account went to the moon? particularly circumstantial info helps it. Why interior the midsection of the "area-Race" could the Russians no longer disclose the conspiracy? everybody with a small radio antenna in 1969 could have tracked the landings, so do you fairly have faith the Russians weren't tuned in with their own kit?

Created by the left wingers. Has to do with the shadows on the photos more than anything else. They should send their time on more important conspiracies like aliens walking the earth or the loch ness monster.

They think that it was all filmed in a movie studio before they announced they were going to the moon. They think that they just went into space and orbited around the earth for the time they were gone.

there are so many. the simple one is that it never occurred, because it is impossible for humans to travel in space because we cannot take the radiation. so the moon landing was like a hollywood production packaged to be fact.
