Has man really walked on the moon?

Question

There are people who say that this whole achievement was a media-communication creation and it was all virtual. They say it never really happened! What do you think and why ?

Answer 1

if they say so!

Answer 2

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 3

July,1969

Answer 4

Well my Uncle knows Neil and BUZZ because he works for the space industry and he talked to him about it and my uncle said that Neil and Buzz are not the type to lie.

If they really did not land on the moon would that really matter? By landing on the Moon really ended the cold war with RUssia because it showed we won. I know the light they say goes different directions. My thoughts are what is light on the moon like since the AMericans are the only ones on the moon. For some crazy reason the Japanese will go to the moon and we will see if there is proof or not.

Answer 5

I was in high school in 1969 and saw all the live coverage. The entire world was galvanized and paying VERY close attention to every detail. The source below gives some hint of the detail that is and was available. There is no way all this could have been faked and there is no way that such a big secret could have been kept all these years.

Answer 6

Just like those who say the Twin Towers were destroyed by the U.S.government on 9/11. People who have nothing better to do create conspiracies where none exist. It's ridiculous.
Of course man has walked on the Moon!

Answer 7

Do a google image search for pictures of the moons surface, there is over 10 pages worth. If you still think it is a conspiracy after seeing many of the dozens and dozens of clear, crisp high quality images of the moons surface and people on it etc then, well, you're entitled to your interpretation, but.....
BTW with a really powerful telescope, you can still see the lunar rover, Apollo lander and the reflections of the mirrors that were left for scientific measurements...

Answer 8

yes! of course man has walked on the moon. But some say that Neil armstrong is not the first to walk on the moon. They say that the Russians are the first to walk on the moon.

Answer 9

I heard that the first time was faked, (check reflections, shadows, horizon and directions of light etc of early photos) They had to get their flag up before the Russians (typical men), but they did land 2-3 years later, and the later photos are bona fide.

Capricorn One was a film made that 'fakes' the landing on the moon.

Only those who 'know' know, the rest of us can only speculate, and it's more exciting to believe a cover-up, don't you think?

Answer 10

I think they did. I don't think our govt and NASA is smart enough to pull off that hoax. And it would be too big, too many people to have to keep a HUGE secret. Someone would've eventually spilled the beans.

Answer 11

sometimes i think that in the 1960's we humans rele didnt have the technology to be able to land on the moon. well but maybe it was just a rumor
