I think it might have been faked. those other attempted landings weren't faked, they were just failures at the real thing. It is kind of far fetched to swallow that in 1969, they landed in that peice of tin with very limited technology, something for some reason we haven't been able to replacate since, and neither has any other country. The whole thing just looks very artificial, it's very hard to believe simply because no one has ever done it since, the reason is simple, we couldn't then and we can't now.

Well, answering your questions as asked:
1. Yes Virginia, there is gravity on the moon. It is less then that on Earth, but make no mistake, the moon has gravity.
2. Yes, it gets very hot on the sunny side of the moon, and very cold on the dark side. That's why those brilliant people at NASA developed those space suits with heating and cooling. And when Neil got thirsty, he drank water.
3. Don't know about the rocks,never heard of anyone microwaving a rock!
4. Don't know the exact specifications for the space suits, but again we got really smart people working at NASA and they have figured this stuff out.
By the way, if you think the moon landing is fake, do you also believe all the space program for both the US and Russia, and more recently several more countries is all a giant scam? What purpose would this serve? Discuss

Lets face it, there isn't really a heapload of evidence that we didn't go to the moon. Why would there be? NASA doesn't WANT evidence that we went to the moon. NASA wants people not to ask questions, and keep living their happy little lives. But here is some evidence that you cannot argue with. My theory is that the moon landing were set on a sound stage, not in space. (Perhaps an Air Force base near San Bernardino, called Norton Air Force Base, where they have the world's largest sound stages under tremendously efficient security).

Some guy was saying that opportunity is always for those who have the possiblity for opportunity. Why do you think that you have the possiblity for the oppotunity to disprove that the Lunar landing was a hoax? A microwaved rock? So, am I to say that you are a quality source of Couter intelligence? Or would you prefer if I said that on the Dark Side of the moon lies a resort for billionaire tourists? What do you want me to tell you?

gravity is real...
Armstrong's space suit was air-conditioned
and the difference in a microwaved rock is?
radiation can be stopped by many materials.. gold is one of them.. and gold is used in many applications where radiation needs to be stopped.. as in a space suit visor (like a half-silvered glass so you can see out but it blocks most of the radiation)... and the rest of the space suit is made of metalic materials... it is not light!
also.. because of the limitations of the space suits, the astronauts had to limit the amount of time they spent outside of the lunar lander.

If you really want to know that stuff, why don't you just go look it up? I don't know all that stuff off the top of my head, but I think the visors in the space suits had a layer of gold to block the radiation. I'm pretty sure the landing craft had a lot of gold foil protecting it too.

the radiation will only affect you if you stay in it for long periods of time. For the short duration trips to the moon, it isn't a factor. Now about the rocks.
First, it is not widely known that we actually have three totally independent sets of rock and soil samples from the Moon: the Apollo samples themselves (382 kg: 840 pounds); several meteorites from the Moon collected in Antarctica; and three small samples (total about one kg.) returned from the Moon by Russian robotic spacecraft. All three sets have been studied by scientists from dozens of countries, and they are agreed to be genuine material from the Moon. Conspiracy theorists might claim that the Apollo samples are fakes, produced in a laboratory, but the lunar meteorites and the Russian returned samples are essentially similar in chemistry and mineralogy, thus giving an independent check on the authenticity of the Apollo samples.
Meteorites have only been known to come from the Moon since the early 1980s, when they were first discovered on the blue ice in Antarctica. McSween's "Meteorites and Their Parent Planet" gives an up to date review of this subject. Several of the lunar meteorites are similar in all respects to mare basalts or breccias derived therefrom. Others are plagioclase-rich breccias similar to highland samples, although with chemical differences suggesting that they may be from the lunar far side.
The rock and soil samples returned by the Apollo missions have been analyzed over the last three decades by thousands of highly-qualified scientists in many countries. None of these scientists has raised the slightest question about their lunar origin. One can imagine an American mineralogist supported by NASA funding agreeing to take part in a conspiracy, but not the dozens of other mineralogists from Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, and other countries.
The characteristics of the Apollo samples themselves point firmly to a lunar origin. Here are a few of them, based on my personal experience as a co-investigator for Apollo 11 and 12 samples, later independent study at Goddard Space Flight Center, and many years of using the sample disks.
4 main signs the rocks are from the moon.
1.absence of hydrothermal alteration
2.absence of oxidation
3.widspread occurrence of breccia
4.shock metamorphism
Now just think of these things:
How many people worked at NASA during Apollo? 400,000.
Also, if you are doing a fake, why push your luck with more than one 'landing?'
Why simulate the near disaster of Apollo 13?
Why push out the J missions, with the Lunar Rover, to 1971/72?
Why stop at Apollo 17? So the last three cancelled missions were fake cancellations too? All the politcal interference that caused this never exposed the whole thing as a sham?
Try getting most Senators and Congressmen to agree to spending $20 billion to fake a space mission, quite a few of them were not NASA fans anyway, and they never got a whiff of the vast conspiracy?
