Ok, I really don't see it being some elaborate conspiracy but I have a friend who actually thinks it was possible. He said the video feedback looked fake like it was done in a studio and a buncha other theories. What do you think?

My wife's father did perform fuel calculations for the original Apollo landing, but I will spare you that speach. Instead, I will encourage you to watch two programs. The first show is called Conspiracy Moon Landing that it currently showing on the National Geographic Channel and it pretty much obliterates all of the popular conspiracy theories.
The I would also encourage you to watch a movie called Capricon One. Made it 1978, it is a fictional movie about a fake mission to mars. Although it is a science fiction story, it is a good example of how utterly impossible it would be to fake a moon landing for any length of time.
12 men walked on the moon from 1969 to 1972 and we simply don't have the resources nor technology to pull off that big of a hoax for so long. Hundreds of thousands of people have worked on the space program. It would be far easier to put someone on the moon than to try and fake it and keep it secret for nearly 40 years.
The landings came at a time when our space program was ultra competitive with the former Soviet Union. Remember how big of a deal it was when Sputnik was put into orbit? They had the technology to monitor our moon shots and transmissions. Don't you they they would have called is out if they have evidence that it was all fake?
Perhaps the most definitive proof of our trip to the moon is what we left behind. For the last 30+ years, scientist have been beaming lasers to the moon and meansuring the return times. How are they doing this? Because the beams are reflected back by equipment left on the moon on in onto 1 but 3 different locations.
Case closed.

there is not any want for a authorities conspiracy in this one. The preparation device (which isn't managed with the help of the church, yet with the help of the liberals/socialists) is so busy doing each thing yet coaching our little ones, is doing a superbly tremendous job of destroying their brains and making them a set of idiots. examine the overall historic past textbook your little ones deliver abode from college, and evaluate it to what you had in college. you'll see that the liberal do-gooders, attorneys, and unrepentant hippies from the 60s have rewritten the texts with adequate nonsense to fill an encyclopedia. that's adequate to make you puke . . . upload to that the hot peer-stress element of "being sensible isn't cool", and also you'll discover how we are putting our little ones as a lot as be psychological midgets.

That's an old, old argument. Each and every one of the conspiracy theorists' points have been thoroughly and effectively rebutted. See below a link to the rebuttal for the 10 most popular hoax theories.

If they didn't send men, then they at least sent the equipment for the experiments they are said to have run. We are still learning things from them to this day. We bounce lasers off reflectors set up by the astronauts to measure the rate at which the moon is receding (1.5 inches per year). I find it more likely that they actually sent men than they developed the advanced robotics required to pull this off.

They had to think of something. The Russians were getting more advanced than Americans. So they faked it. Think about it, wouldn't you have done the same in order for America to be what it is today? By the way, if we really had the technology to get to the moon, don't you think it would be about time we traveled else where?

It "looked fake"? Ummmm...why?
The problem with the "hoax" idea is we can verify quite easily that we left things on the moon: laser reflectors left behind by several missions.

This happen during the cold war. How did they get Russia to admit defeat? That we beat them to the moon. For you know they were watching every move we made.

No because Ken Lay is living there now. Bush set it up back in the late 60's right after he killed Kennedy

NO, NO, NO!!!! Why are there some people who always think that there's a conspiracy going on?

No, but now that you mention it,
hows about considering it a good
place to send all captured criminals
and terrorists.
