why does no one else step on the moon after armstrong? is he really been on the moon?

Answer 1

Technically its said that man cannot each the moon. Recently in an interview a russian cosmonaut was explaining this in discovery channel. Eventhough Russians made great progress in space science, there is something called 'van halen belt' in space. This belt actually protects the planet from harmful radiations. To reach the moon we will have to cross this belt and will have to overcome exposure to powerful radiations. To have protection from this a living bieng should have a protective shield of lead of atleat 4 ft thick.Also in the moon temperatures are extreme. This problem prevented the russians from going to the moon. NASA still havnt divulged how they overcome this. In the particular documentary experts in photography have given the opinion that the pics hace weak credentials. The consipiracy theory is that NASA staged managed the entire thing because it was pressured into doing ,possibly out of a fear that funding might be stopped or cut.

Answer 2

Actually Armstrong was the first man to physically step on the moon's surface. After him another 11 people have stepped on the moon, even drove a rover car on the moon hills! :)

However at 1972 and following the Apollo 17 mission the Apollo moon exploration programme was terminated. This was because the Apollo program did not exist for scientific but more for political reasons. The Americans wanted to beat the Russians to the moon. After they proved they could do it and the Russians quit they decided that the USA and humanity will be better off if they spent more money on weapons of mass destruction...

People have been to the moon and back. The conspiracy theories are based on ignorance of physics and optics. For example some one said above about the notorious Van Allen belts and how they would not allow a man to travel to the moon. Well this is purely based on ignorance because someone says soemthing then we all believe it without doing a little bit of our own research. For the Van Allen Belts check http://spider.ipac.caltech.edu/staff/waw/mad/mad19.html.

Answer 3

There were TWO men in the Apollo 11 LM. Each Apollo LM could carry TWO men to the surface of the Moon! Less than an hour after Armstrong stepped on the Moon, Aldrin, the other astronaut in the Apollo 11 LM, stepped on the Moon. 4 months later, Apollo 12 astronauts Conrad and Bean walked on the Moon. 14 months after that Apollo 14 astronauts Shepard and Mitchell walked on the Moon, and Shepard hit a golf ball on the Moon on live TV. 7 months later Apollo 15 astronauts Scott and Irwin walked and drove on the Moon. Apollo 15 was the first one with the Moon buggy. 8 Months later Apollo 16 astronauts Young and Duke walked and drove on the Moon. 8 months after that Apollo 17 astronauts Cernan and Schmitt walked and drove on the Moon.

All this was widely covered in the media at the time it happened, much of it shown LIVE on TV. All this information and more is in the source below, which is one of MANY sources on the web. It really makes me angry when you people say the landings were fake when you don't know $#!+ about what happened or even bother to find out!

Answer 4

apollo 11 wasn't the only appollo mission to land on the moon. So armstrong wasn't the ONLY one to be there.

plus, each apollo mission that landed on the moon brought 2 people down there. armstrong was the 1st to pu a foot on the moon only to be seconded 30 seconds latter by his friend buzz aldrin.

For your information, there has been a total of 17 apollo missions and missions 11 to 17 (except 13) all landed on the moon. so that makes a total of 6 successfull landings : therefore 12 people landed there.


As for that crazy notion that the apollo missions were an hoax, I seriously doubt it : they had the capacity to do it, and they spent the money to do it. Plus, they really sent people in space with equipment during enough time to really go there... so why wouldn't they do it since they could?

It's that rumor (that says the apollo missions were an hoax) which obviously is the hoax.

to crush that hoax, let's see what arguments they use :
- technology not sufficient to do it.
this is completely false : saturn V was a marvel of technology (not computers and stuff, but mechanics! and you don't need much more that a VERY good mecanician to get there : by the way, that's the reason they can't go back there right now : they lost that mecanical knowledge, they need a few years to get it back)
- easier to make a movie than to really go there.
true. BUT they really launched several saturnV in space with people abord. So, they could do it. And if they could, why not really do it?
other counter argument : the russians followed the apollo space ship as it went to the moon. Faking the video is easy, but faking a ship going to the moon and coming back so that the russians are fooled is MUCH harder. Better (and easier) to really go there.
- in response to shogunsami's argument : what the hell is the 'van halen belt' ? I know the van halen rock group, but the van halen belt is a hoax... The thing that protect us from solar flares and solar radiation are the thermosphere (we go above it all the time to put satelites up there : geostationary satelites are all above it) and the magnetosphere which we cross from time to time to send robots and drones to others planets... And robots and drones have the same kind of sensitivity to solar radiation as humans do... Plus, the really dangerous parts are only solar flares, and they don't happen to often, so for a 1-2 week trip to the moon, the chances to get one are small.

and if you're still not convinced, get yourself a good telescope, and a good map of the moon and look for the lunar vehicules left there by the apollo missions... you should be able to see them with a good telescope.


Since the end of the apollo missions, no one went there only because there's nothing interresting up there... That's all. No need to keep spending billions of dollars only for 2 american soldiers to play golf on the moon...
They got the rocks they wanted during the apollo missions and they showed off to the russians. No need to do it again. Nothing was to be gained from going there again.

Answer 5

There were people to step on the moon after Armstrong. Eleven people. He did go on the moon. There is lots of proof. One example is moon rocks.

Answer 6

After Armstrong eleven persons steps on moon. of course he really been on the moon.

Answer 7

armstrong's voyage is supposed to have been a hoax and nothing else.there is evidence on this because when you see the footage, the american flag is supposedly fluttering which can't happen on the moon on account of there being no air around it. and yeah, no one else's been up there so that should say something..

Answer 8

it's a mystery
but i think he got there
see how people are fighting for 1st place
and finally it doesn't matter u step on the moon cause there's nothing in the moon

Answer 9

No. It was just a charade to beat the russians. No ones been on the moon. Just a bit of playacting staged by NASA.

Answer 10

nope....armstrong never been on the moon..infact no one is on the moon....that was just a gimmick by nasa..to beat russians...nasa does not have the technology at that time....
