Why can't people accept that the moon mission was faked?

Question

The moon mission was obviously faked. Why do people continue to believe in the lie, and that the "Apollo Astronauts" are a disgrace?

Check out the video below...the first time I have seen an "austronaut" slug a reporter!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hkNnltFfR4

I know...that slug to head that Buzz Adrin gave that reporter for calling him on a LIE is DEFINITELY REAL

The implications of this is that the USA space history is based on a lie. Its a hard pill to swallow isnt it??

this is the full vid...its just brilliant

Answer 1

The effectiveness of keeping a conspiracy intact is completely dependent on the number of people involved; the more people there are, the less likely the conspiracy will hold over time. There were literally tens of thousands of people involved in the Apollo program, and it has been over thirty years since the last lunar landing; faking the landings and keeping the people silent would have been more difficult than actually performing them.

On three of the Apollo missions, laser reflection dishes were set up which scientists use to this day to accurately calculate the distance between the Earth and the Moon. This equipment could only have been set up manually; no robotic missions could have performed these tasks.

The Clementine lunar satellite was able to take a picture of the Apollo 15 landing site, but the resolution was too low (100 meters) to be considered overwhelming evidence. The Indian space program plans to send a remote sensing spacecraft in 2007, called Chandrayaan I, which has a five meter resolution. Assuming the craft is successful, its images should provide definitive evidence that the moon landings were real.

No matter what evidence one provides, however, someone will always come up with an excuse to negate it. "The scientists are in on the conspiracy with the laser reflector experiment", or "The images from the satellite are fake", or "They set up the Apollo landing sites afterwards using robots". One has to set their own limits on when evidence becomes definitive, and then stand by that limit.

Answer 2

Although my wife's father performed fuel calculations for the original Apollo landing, I'll spare you that speech. 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.

I would also encourage you to watch a movie called Capricorn One. Made it 1978, it is a fictional story 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 have neither the resources nor the 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 think they would have called us out if they had 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 35+ years, scientists have been beaming lasers to the moon and measuring the return times. How are they doing this? The beams are reflected back by equipment left on the moon on at 3 different locations.

Case closed.

Answer 3

Of course the landings were real, all six of them!

The "we never landed on the moon" wackos are the ones perpetuating the biggest hoax ever, based on the complete ignorance of the facts by conspiracy theory wackos, out to prove just how totally ignorant they really are.

I do not believe we landed on the moon, I KNOW we did. Moon landing hoax wackos merely regurgitate the same old tired lies, most of them originally put forward by the profoundly ignorant Bill Kaysing in a book and a horrible TV program on Fox TV in 2001. NONE of his crazy claims stands up to serious scrutiny. NONE! The fact that all of the Apollo landing sites have since been imaged by various satellites from lunar orbit is hard to explain away! I am including links to a number of sites with the truth about these claims.

The moon landing hoax believers are just plain delusional and beyond all human help. As I have also said, I find it amusing, in a kind of sad way, that the same people who think that the most thoroughly documented voyage of exploration in history was a hoax are willing to believe any wacko conspiracy theory or doomsday prophecy. No critical reasoning skills people?

In addition to the sites already mentioned, which have actual FACTS to refute the myths and lies put forward by the lunar landing deniers, some of us actually have personal observations to prove that the missions DID occur. I was a member of an amateur radio/amateur astronomy group at the time the Apollo missions were flown, and among other things we distributed tracking information that allowed many of us to point our telescopes at the spacecraft on the way to the moon. Can any of the wackos explain to me what I was seeing at the expected coordinates, if it was NOT the Apollo spacecraft on the way to the moon???? Many others at sites around the world observed and some imaged the spacecraft in transit to the moon. Also, I have friends, other ham radio operators who were able to receive the audio and video directly from the lunar surface. I have seen their videos, kind of noisy since these friends were using much smaller dish antennas than NASA did, but they were clearly recognizable and their antennas were aimed directly at the moon. Explain that, moon hoax wackos!

A couple of quotes I like, the first from Carl Sagan:

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

From Daniel Patrick Moynihan, it SO applies to the moon hoax wackos:

You are entitled to your own opinion, but you are NOT entitled to your own facts.

Answer 4

You really do not have to go into minute detail. Just the fact that thousands of people worked intimately to make the Apollo missions a success. There is no way all these scientists and technicians could be fooled into thinking that they were sending men to the moon.

And if they were fooled, who were the hundreds of scienttists and engineers that were clever enough to fool thousands of clever people.

If all the techos and scientists were part of the scam, how in God's name could you keep them quiet. people get paid big money by the media for revealing hoaxes and scams.

Pleae, please, let's stop this nonsense.

Answer 5

Because too many of us have pretty good educations and understand the physics involved. If you seriously think the moon landings were faked you need to stop believing everything you're told and crack a book or two once in a while.

Answer 6

"Warhater999" is quite the hate-filled conspiracy theorist.

Some of "warhater's" other questions:

Minorities: Do you find WASP's and Jews hyper arrogant agressive to deal with?

When will the medical establishment admit that HIV and AIDS Is a hoax?

When are people going to realized the you are being brainwashed by the Jews?

And, his answer to the question "Should muslims be banned from airplanes?" is:

No I think Jews should be banned from travelling, and owning any corporation, becoming a doctor, or reproducing. They should also be banned from any involment with the media. We are being held hostage and brainwashed by the Jews.

Answer 7

This is a simple one to answer.

People can't accept that the moon mission was faked because it was not faked.

If you have different FACTS, then mention them (and I'll debunk them). Don't just say "Obviously Faked", but put some facts behind your statements.

Answer 8

I'll give you a link to look at! http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/tv/foxapollo.html

The moon missions WERE NOT FAKED. Why can't you accept the FACT that we have technology so great we can leave the atmosphear and go to the mooon?

Answer 9

The question should be rephrased.

Why can't people accept that man have landed on the moon and forget the god they used to

Answer 10

Because it is hard to accept. They even brought samples from the moon and installed mirrors on the surface of the moon.
