many people say that they did not land the first time due to technical difficulties, but the rest were real. i do not believe any of these were real and that we never even got near landing on the moon. what do you think?

I believe you are referring to the very first landing. I like to think they did.

Honestly, do you want to call the 12 men who landed, and walked on the moon liars?
The race for the moon, first proposed publicly by President Kennedy in 1962, was a direct challenge to the Soviet Union (USSR) as they were kicking our butts at that time in the field of space exploration.
Thousands of American citizens contributed to the Apollo project.
Do you think they are lying also?
The technology that you now enjoy, can all be traced back to what we learned in the quest to land on the moon.
From hand held calculators, to modern digital devices.
Do your homework.
The USSR is no longer... there is a reason why.
You may have read a book calling the moon landings a hoax...
I encourage you to call the authors, and their motives into question... follow the money.
The simple fact is this:
The physical evidence is abundant, and overwhelming.
Not just from the material (rocks, etc. that were brought back from the moon) the mirrors set up there at the time which still work today, giving us an accurate calculation of the distance of the moon from the Earth.
The premise that we never landed on the moon is
ridiculous.
July 20, 1969 is a day I, and the world will never forget.
I was just a little boy...
Don't allow yourself to be deceived.
The answer is Yes.

Your belief does not make any sense. If there was no moon landing then don't you think the Russians would have exposed the lie considering they were our enemy at the time. It was a space race and we were losing to the Russians. Are you also saying that no men died in a fire on the launch pad. Things were different back then.People took big chances to win glory for the nation.Nowdays most people just sit around whining about petty little theories,to scared to ever do anything that could be even remotely dangerous.

If you shine a laser at the right part of the moon, a reflector (actually, there are several), placed by the astronauts, will reflect the light back at you. These reflectors are used to this day to gauge the distance to the moon. There is much more info on this elsewhere in this forum; the bottom line is that the "they didn't do it" theory is drivel.

Take a powerful telescope and point it to the sea of tranquility. If you see an american flag and some foot prints then you know that the studio they built to film the lunar mission was actually built on the moon and they used rockets to fly astronauts to that studio to fool the whole world.

Well honestly speaking, i do think so but a few years ago some country( i dont wanna name that) had said that if there's no wind on moon then how come the american flag that astronauts digged there was waving with air ........ This was shown in a movie also that flag was waving on moon..... But how????

some ppl say that its not true becuase in pictures on the US flag on the moon, and videos, its 'waving in the wind' but i just think its since there is no gravisty, so if there isn't muchh gravity, it wouldn't be falling strait down right? well that what i think, but im only 12, so i don't know much haha.

They landed.
However the conspiracy nuts will soon flood you with a billion links 'proving', we didnt land, we landed on the sun, mars, venus etc. (yer pick), the whole thing was faked in hollywood, or the Roswell Aliens helped us.
