... I'd really like to stop seeing stuff about us not landing on the moon. As an aerospace engineer I can guarantee you we did. Those "hoax" shows are nothing but sensational ideas by conspiracy theorists. If you believe everything you hear you're gonna have a rough life.
We DID land on the Moon. The reason we haven't been back isn't because we can't, it's because after we did the "space race" was over and the politicians decided there wasn't anymore reason to spend money on Moon exploration, especially seeing as how we did not find any remarkable things on the Moon. However, the president has just issued an ultimatum for human exploration of Mars. With the new Ares missions (which I work on, and can guarantee will make it to the Moon), we will return to the Moon for a different reason. We will be testing new long-duration habitat technologies and power sources which will be very necessary if we are going to explore Mars.
To debunk a couple of the horribly flawed ideas out there that cause people to think the Moon landing is a hoax:
The flag "waving": There was a stiffener in the flag so that it would be fully unfolded, it was not waving or moving... it was completely still.
The shadows myth... ridiculous. The Sun lights the surface, but the Lunar Regolith (dust) is extremely reflective. It's like standing on a white sand beach without our atmosphere. Much brighter.
Somehow, we also have video that obviously shows the Moonscape, with Earth in the background in the best video quality of the time. Anyone seen a Hollywood movie with special effects even close to that from 60's?... The technology to fake a Moon landing was actually non-existent at that time.
Sorry, I ranted, but i can't stand people who can't even form a coherent sentence saying that we never reached the Moon.

There were 6 successful missions to the moon in spite of what the "nuts" say about fake moon landings. I could go on for hours and refute every so called fact regarding fake moon landings but there is a good source out there to read. A site called "badastronomy.com" has a good article the refutes all of the questions raised in the Fox TV special called "Apollo Moon Hoax". Here is a link to the article:

Only 12 astronauts have walked on the Moon, but many millions of people have touched moon rocks.
Russia has never sent a man to walk on the Moon. Only the United States has had astronauts on the Moon so far.

ive seen a documentary about moon exploration, they say its a conspiracy, a hoax... its not true at all, no human being has ever landed on the moon. they exposed a lot of controversies about the landing and they say its impossible. 37 years have past, im just wondering why they never send another man on the moon....

no huma being EVER "touched" the surface of the moon : the americans who went there were wearing suits which prevented direct contact
