I think that if they had gone to the moon , that it would have incurred great curiousity to want to have return and yet we have not and why is it no one else has either , thats what has got my mind wondering of the facts

Only a very very few Americans have walked on the moon. The first was Neil Armstrong in 1969.

Oh please.
There are so many problems with it being a hoax. Way more than it being real.
Check this article:
http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/tv/foxapollo.html
Or for a more deliberate approach, check:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_Landing_Faked
Note that this latter article is under dispute (as per wikipedia procedures, but its more about language usage, not the overall content.)
89% believe we landed on the moon. The 6% that don't believe it get their info from The Enquirer and World Weekly News. The other 5% need to get some balls.

I'm told there was a corner reflector left on the moon, and that if you shine a really bright laser at it, you can see the reflected laser light.
Maybe some scientist ought to talk to NOVA and do a show proving that the corner reflector is on the moon, and get this question over with once and for all.

YES... And I am sick of seeing this stupid question... AMERICANS WALKED ON THE MOON... IT'S REAL... IT WASN'T DONE ON A SOUNDSTAGE IN AREA 51... IT REALLY HAPPENED.
I was working for NASA during the first Apollo launches and I was on the tracking ship... I KNOW WHERE THE DISHES WERE POINTED... and it wasn't at area 51 or any of these other dumb theories... the dishes were pointed at where the signals were coming from THE MOON...
Enough with this stupid conspiracy theory.
Also, if you don't believe Americans went to the moon, then you can go to any of several observatories and SEE FOR YOURSELF when they shoot the Laser at the reflector ON THE MOON that was left by the first crew... WHERE DO YOU THINK THAT REFLECTOR CAME FROM if we didn't actually go to the moon.
I can't believe anyone is STUPID ENOUGH to still believe that worthless conspiratcy theory.

Apollo 11 also left an instrument (actually an array of mirrors) that is still being used today to measure the distance from the earth to the moon. That is how we know that the moon is drifting away from earth about an inch per year.

Yet another conspiracy freak. Yes they did. there were at one time
6 million people involved in getting Apollo 11 to the Moon. That was 37 years ago. Do you really think, even in your wildest dreams that all those people have kept their mouths shut about a lie, all this time?

Not all of them, only 12 Americans have walked on the moon.
Anyway, why everybody keeps asking this? were you born in a cave or something? was there anything to gain by fooling the whole world?

Trust me. In 1969 the technology for launching a tin can into space was much more advanced than the technology for the special effects that would be needed to fake it (we've all seen the old sci-fi movies.)
The lunar landings were real.
