Did we really land on the moon?

Answer 1

I had a friend that debated whether or not we actually landed.
And the only argument I could come up with is credible doubt. I started to ask him if the world was round, and then I had to stop being so sarcastic before he would talk to me again. But then I asked if he believed that airliners actually travel so high and so fast, and started to talk about the technology involved in accomplishing that. Then I asked if he thought a warhead could travel from Russia and actually hit a target over here. Then i asked if he thought we actually have sattelites bouncing radio signals all the way around the world.... from space.
Well, when you put all of these disciplines and technologies together, you come to the conclusion that landing on a moon with little gravity in a stationary orbit isn't so far fetched at all.
What is amazing is that we did it more than thirty years ago.

Yes, consider what we are doing now, and you will see that the technology far exceeds that feat.

Answer 2

Wow, again...
It's just tragic that this question keeps coming up, and even more so when you understand that those of you who believe in a "hoax" have absolutely no understanding of either science or common sense. A few points for the "hoaxers" :

-The shadows are NOT in the wrong places. They are exactly where shadows are supposed to be given both the level of the ground and the perspective at which they were taken. A simple study in photography and/or physics will show you this.

-The hubble CANNOT, in fact, resolve images as small as the lunar buggies, nor anything else that still sits on the moon. It was designed to view galaxies thousands of light years across not to view images along the order of a few meters. And there are no Earth-based telescopes with this ability either.

-The flag did have a horizontal rod going across its top. Obviously, if this wasn't there the flag would have rested against the vertical pole. It was made of a plastic material, not cloth, which gave it its wrinkled appearance simply because it didn't extend all the way to the end of the horizontal pole. In addition, the flag was NOT waving, except when the astronauts were trying to work the pole into the lunar surface. Air or no air the end of the flag would have moved when the pole was shaken around. It's called inertia, look it up. Incidentally, for those who are so smart and KNOW it was a hoax: If the flag was waving from some sudden wind why exactly don't we see any dust flying about?

-No stars in photos...answered a thousand times. Learn and understand photography and the properties of light. Or better yet go outside on the next sunny day and take a picture of the sky and tell me how many stars are in the photo. Atmosphere or not, you can't take pictures of very faint objects when you are being washed in sunlight. It simply doesn't work.

-Radiation...This is the favorite of those who want to make themselves sound smart but have no clue what they're talking about. The Van Allen Belts can indeed be dangerous if subjected to them for extended amounts of time. The Apollo astronauts were not subjected to this.

-The cover up...The Russians, our worst enemy and space rival at the time, had every capability to track the lunar missions to the moon and back. And yet they never cried hoax. Interesting.
-During the time, NASA employed nearly 400,000 people, both under contract and in-house. Parts had to be made, engines built, plans devised, people prepared, see where I'm going? How do you keep a secret with that many people for so long? Answer, you don't.

-Okay, so you say, "well, only a handful of people knew about it..." Alrighty then, what about the thousands who actually made all the components and were told these components had to take men to the moon. Either these people say it cannot be done or they're in on the lie.
So you have two conclusions...Either you understand that 400,000 people were actually in on an impossible lie or that it was possible to send a man to the moon.

BTW, if the government was so smart and so good at creating and maintaining such an elaborate hoax how could they have made so many idiotic "mistakes" and allowed everyone to figure it out? Are we assuming that the world's best scientists are not bright enough to notice these? Please.

-These things go on and on, too numerous to discuss here. I suggest you people learn how to read and discover things for yourselves before you start believing mocked-up truths that have absolutely no basis in reality. Oh, and BTW, every one of you who says that because we haven't been back to the moon in 30 years proves that we never went...that statement borders on idiocy that I can't even fathom. I went to Florida once, saw what I needed to see and then left. I haven't been back. Does that mean I never went? And that doesn't even take into account the inherent expense and danger of going to the Moon.

It's incredibly sad when people begin taking such a monumental human achievement and start wrapping it in myth, all because their understanding of what was and what is possible is beyond their own level of thought.

I would LOVE to edit this some more. Anyone else have a some powerful "evidence" they would like refuted? Step right up

Answer 3

Of course we did. And guess what, just last year, "we" really did land on Titan, a moon of Saturn, a trip of over a billion miles. No humans on board, of course, but still. . . it sent back some awesome pictures of a world where the average daytime temperature is -270 degrees Farenheit. You can, of course, disbelieve anything you like. Hopefully, though, it is after you make the effort to study the information and knowledge that is nowadays available at your fingertips.

Answer 4

Yes. Real, live human beings went to the moon, landed, got out, walked around, picked up some rocks, left some stuff behind and came home.

Answer 5

Yes, we did. Some conspiracy theorists say that we didn't but all their claims can be shown to be bogus. The conspiracies became mainstream through a Fox TV show 5 years ago. There are many web sites pointing out the flaws in these conspiracy theories. One is at http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/tv/foxapollo.html

Answer 6

Yes of course. I've even met Niel Armstrong. Perhaps you need to watch the debunking program that shows why the idea we didn't is so completely absurd. They explain the science so you can understand why the conspiracy folks are all wet.

Answer 7

Yes. The reason people think it was on a set is because there was a movie made about it. Call NASA and ask.

Answer 8

YES WE DID!!! we have the whole evidence of it with photos, videos OH PLEASE BELIEVE IT WE ARE ABOUT TO LAND MARS NOW!!

AND WE HAVE ONLY LANDED ON OUR ONE AND ONLY MOON.
THE MOON!!

Answer 9

who is we?

you and I didn't

neal armstrong did with the help of many people and lots of time and money

there were thousands of people involved, it is ridiculous to think that all thos scientists and engineers and journalists and trainers and television technicians could have all been fooled or silenced

Answer 10

Sure.. July 1969? I was a child and I saw it on Tv
