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.

do you think government people are smart enough? For example they would have the flag blowing in the solar breeze. They would have had used an air breathing cart too. And the long golf ball drive wouldn't have been nearly as long.
No really, They left some experiments on the moon and one of them was mirrors. We have bounced light off of them. This would be possible if they didn't leave it their.
What surprises me even more is that they have lost the plans to the Saturn rocket and now they have lost the original movie pictures of the first landing. Now how can you just loose stuff like that?

No! our moon landing are real. But some people say that Neil Amstrong is not the first man to land on moon. They say that the Russians were the first to land on the moon and NASA scientists faked neil's landing shooting it in a studio under laboratory simulated zero-gravity conditions. Some believe that they didnot cross the Van Allen's belt. Van allen's belt is a protective layer that protects the earth from harmful EM radiations. If they had crossed this layer, the then made IC's would have had a new layer due to their exposure to these rays.

ok. First issues first... a million) The Moon does have gravity. It has about a million/6 of the gravity of Earth. 2) The Moon no longer in uncomplicated words has no oxygen, it has no ecosystem. Earth's ecosystem is composed of 70 p.c. Nitrogen, which moots your oxygen factor. also, wind isn't the in uncomplicated words ingredient that could make a flag fly. The flag planted on the Moon had a telescoping pole by skill of the suitable that prolonged the flag. in the Moons gravity, the flag might want to lay limp adversarial to the pole as there is not any wind to blow it. The flag grow to be designed to provide the impact of "blowing" in the wind. even as it truly is shifting in the films the astronauts are planting it in the floor, and twisting the pole... for sure it is going to wave round even as they're manipulating it. 3) the area holiday is by no skill used for anyting except orbital flights to area. in fact, the holiday did not fly till 1984... the Apollo missions befell between 1969 to the mid 1970's. 4) Temperature differences were popular for in-solar and out-of solar area commute. The Saturn V rockets used to get to the Moon were designed to face up to those temp swings, and were geared up with existence help and atmospheric administration platforms to save the astronauts threat-free. We went to the Moon, there is not any "clinical" info that helps the hoax theories. each and each of the clinical info factors to the actual undeniable actuality that we DID bypass to the Moon. the in uncomplicated words "info" that exists that asserts we did not is lost good judgment, and an complete and entire undereducation and gullibilty of human beings that belive in the hoax.

I watched the moon landing on television. I think the pictures would have been a lot cleaner and more polished if it had been a hoax. Remember that they didn't have computer animation to help with stage effects. They had to provide the visuals from real objects.

No, I believe that the spread of the idea that the moon landing didn't happen is a conspiracy of religious loonies against science.

I don't believe it is a hoax.
I believe that the people who say it is a hoax are playing a joke to get publicity. some people will do crazy things to get their name in the paper or on the news. Take a look at Ripley's Believe It Or Not.
:-D Lots of people do crazy things. That doesn't mean you have to do it to!

Gettin a little sick of this question.....the people who started the hoax to begin with were a couple of backwoods boobs! The two were interviewed on T.V. and neither of them have the technical intelligence to have made these accusations!

Absolutely not, it was a step in the evolution of human civilization ... but we're not quite civilized yet ... we still have fascist cave men to deal with, in a manner fairer and more just than the way they deal with their own wives.
Osama is not a holy man, that is nonsense, holy men don't kill innocents ... they don't kill at all !! Gangsters kill. God has dammed him already. ... And, how many innocent believing kids who were taught hate in Saudi schools ( and others ) ... How many blew themselves up to kill and accomplish the" greatness " of hateful martyrdom ( don't worry mom, God knows that your martyred son gave with great courage and misled faith, and God will take care of him ) ... but he killed and there is hell to pay for that, and even more for those who talked him into it.
May Allah ( actually He already has.) damn the soul of Osama for eternity, to suffer the pain that 'O-stupid ego' has caused. That's justice.
And, may justice come to Palestine too ! I know you have been bullied and harmed too ... lets find justice for all !
If you believe in a just God you will understand me.
Sorry I didn't mean to get sidetracked from your question but it led me to a part of my mind that just flowed from me ....
Yes, we not only landed on the moon but there are many other planets to explore ... then a universe. Neat, huh !
I would love to dangle my feet in the universe from the front of a starship.
Yours truly
Doctor Chicago

Yup. And it was all staged to divert attention away from Area 51.
This was just a prelude to their attempts to convince us that the mind control gas trails from the high flying jets is just a vapor trail - yeah, right!
I sincerely hope that you weren't truly serious when you asked your question.
