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" , specifically, Me-as-a-tree above...
-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?
-The dust on the Moon has a resiliant silica quality which can hold its form. It is not beach sand. Thus, there are footprints.
-The Moon is NOT a weightless environment. It's gravity is approx. 1/6 of the Earth's.
-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

No, Sami, they did not land on the moon. The answers you've received here are from people who have not looked into this at all. They are sheep. They are telling you what they learned in 5th grade science, or what the government told them to believe, without any thought at all. But the fact that you are asking this suggests to me that you probably have looked into it, or at least thought about it. Kudos to you.
You need to do a web search on this. (Like "the truth about the moon landings".) There is a lot of info about it. Here's a summary:
If they went to the moon, where are the stars in the photos? There so many stars in the "sky", they are impossible to not include in the photos. Why were there no practice landing missions to the moon first? Surely they wouldn't send people without first making a trial landing of unmanned craft. How could the astronauts have withstood all of the radiation on the moon's surface wearing only linen pressure suits? Why hasn't anyone else from any other country ever gone to the moon since? The Russians were the leaders in space exploration at the time, and they didn't even attempt it. How could a footprint be made in the "moondust" when there is no air or moisture for the weight of the shoe to displace? How can a vehicle made for functioning in gravity function in a weightless environment? How could it turn without continuously flipping over, unless it was flat and 20 feet wide? Why do the photos of the moon's surface show shadows from the objects that go in different directions, like when there are multiple light sources? (The cameras had no flashes.) Why does the video of the Astronaut jumping look just like it looks when you jump on earth? He wasn't doing 5 foot leaps, they were 15 inches. (I can jump 2 feet myself, and NBA player Dwayne Wade can jump 3.5 feet right here on earth!) And finally, why does NASA say, right now, that it would take the space program at least 15 years to develop a program to land on the moon? If they did it 35 years ago, it should be no problem now, right?
See, it was such a big hoax, that it takes more effort, courage and thought to not believe it, than to go along with it. So the sheep just follow along with the herd. But once you look at it critically and analytically, it's quite apparent that it was a lie. (But of course our Uncle Sam never lies....)
Stay curious my friend!

Lots of people will say the have done their research, but when you examine what they know, it just falls apart. There's a lot of 'evidence' that 'proves' we weren't there, but they're mostly really stupid. Case in point, one of the other answers brings up the often repeated issue of 'why are there no stars on moon photos?' It's been answered a million times, but it still comes up. They're not doing their research, just repeating any silly argument that agrees with them.
If you're wondering about the lack of stars - did you take any pictures of stars yourself? When you do you actually have to account for the turning of the earth, because you need really long exposure times. Stars are THAT dim. Sunlit astronauts standing on the moon, however, are VERY bright. You can't take a picture of both at the same time. Ask any photographer. You can take two pictures and put them together in Photoshop, but THAT would be cheating.

Yes. 24 astronauts have landed on the moon. 12 have walked on the surface. And I get the biggest kick out of all the conspiracy theorists.
I'm surprised they're not in Roswell right now trying to buy or sell some alien urine. LMAO

lol it is not a question in 1969 the first astornaut landed on a moon as he got in the first space shutlle that carried a man and made a 3days journey to the moon and landed on it with a video that has been recorded and after that many ppl landed on the moon as we are in space invasion era source:EARTH'S HISTORY

No. I think that it was all filmed in a studio somewhere. I think if they really did they would have been back there again in person not with machines (or have they? I don't think they have?) Anyway, I think they created this moon landing to give people hope.

oo what conspiracy will you dream up next. Oh wager what, there changed into no coloration interior the international decrease back interior the early days of images, as you spot each and every thing changed into meant to be black and white. yet yet yet, the commercial revolution delivered alongside poisonous chemical compounds that were put in the ambience which had the part results of manufacturing coloration and this changed into of route a scheme by using the rothschilds THERE I suggested ROTHSCHILDS. i can see alex jones going ape **** over this.

no, i think it was a conspiracy. For example, in the picture of the guy standing on the moon, with the flag on the pole blowing, there is no wind on the moon. So if there is no wind on the moon, how can it blow the flag?

I'd say it's true. For a while I wasn't sure, but then about a month or two ago, I saw this documentary that addressed this very subject. They talked about all the arguments put forward by conspiracy theorists and pretty much disproved them all.
