right... Why does this question/assertion keep popping up on here! As I said last time, there are actually visible objects left behind on the moon that are clearly visible with slightly powerful telescopes, such as the lunar lander and rover. NASA also left mirrors on the surface to bounce laser beams off and measure mean distance over time which can also be seen with strong telescopes.

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.

unfortunately, if a person really wants to believe something, or not believe it, no amount of proof will change their minds. There are still people that believe the earth is flat or that the holocaust never happened. Creationists and Evolutionists will always be at odds because, no matter how many "missing links" an anthropologist finds, the creationist will always say there is a hole between two species.

In the same way, no matter how many ways you prove that the moon landing wasn't a hoax, the skeptic will find more "evidence" that it was or simply say that your evidence was faked. Every space movie that comes out is further proof to these people as to how "easily" this could be done. The movie Capricorn One didn't help this issue.

this one is particularly good at giving point by point explanations of most of the "evidence" given as proof that the moon landing was a hoax

NASA should have had the foresight to put something on the moon that would let everybody know that people had definitely been there. It would have to be something distinctively human, or the UFO mongers would allege it to be an alien artifact.

Hoaxes are false claims that can assert either that something happened, when in fact it did not, or that something did not happen, when it fact it did.

The Apollo landings are not hoaxes.
Allegations of extraterrestrial alien abductions are hoaxes.

The famine in Ukraine in the early 20th century really happened.
The genocide claim regarding Nazi gas chambers is a hoax.

The story about Mars being relatively close to Earth on 27 August 2003 is true.
The story about Mars being extremely close to Earth on 27 August 2006 is a hoax.

Do you see it yet? It doesn't matter how many people believe the wrong thing. Truth is what it is, regardless, and the only way to tell truth from lies is to perceive and, then, to think.

There are so many interesting things to wonder about. Why not learn enough about something to understand what you don't know and then ask a cool question that will interest people enough to answer you and in doing so, learn something new themselves.

Hoax mongering is such a waste of time. I put it right up there with hate mongering in being boring.

;-D Better questions get better answers.

PS. The moon landing was not faked, and Mars comes close the Earth (35 million miles) every 26 months. Big deal. Why do people take some little factoid and make a hoax about it? They remind me of Chicken Little "The sky is falling the sky is falling." Give me a break. This question has been asked a dozen times by hoax mongers in the last several months. [1]

There's absolutely no reason to doubt that we have technology capable of accomplishing manned lunar landings. The tired arguments of the Van Allen belts have been shown to be false - the exposure of Astronauts passing through the belts is equivalent to that of a dental X-Ray.

As far as rocket technology goes, consider the fact that there are hundreds of communications, navigational, and classified man-made objects doing just fine in all sorts of exotic orbits. The Space Station and shuttle flights (which have launched at least some of the aforementioned satellites) do just find as well.

Thus, with the rocket technologies we have, and the Van Allen belts posing no problem at all, there's just no reason why we could not have gone there.

Oh, and don't forget all those rocks we brought back - there's nothing else like them on this planet.

In addition, navigational laser reflecting grids left on the moon by the Apollo astronauts (who were filmed leaving them there) are also working fine.

The conspiracy myths were invented to sell books and generate income via lecture tours. The authors of those books are working fine, too. With your money.

We are long past dealing with a question about the history of the US Space program. There is no doubt in the minds of 99.99999 percent of all people that landings on the moon did take place in the 1960s and 1970s. There are too many people still alive that were involved in it, and remember those occasions clearly.

This is really a question about mental illness. You and your friends need to see a doctor: the kind that helps people who are having trouble dealing with reality.

In the meantime, serious people are getting tired of this insulting issue. Stop posting along these lines.

if u have a telescope look at the moon. u will see the american flag which Neil Amstrong and Buzz Alardin put. u will also see footsteps. That's my proof that man walked and landed on the moon.

At the time of the Apollo program there was a competition between the USA and the Soviets (USSR) who will get there first, do you claim that the Soviets were fooled by an American hoax, well think again.

sorry man, i watch a show on this and they showed me two pretty good pieces of evidence about this. 1 is the moon rocks that they brought back. and two, is in one of the missions. they pplanted a reflector up there. and they now use the reflector and a laser light here on earth to measure how far the moon is travelling away from earth each year. ith ink its an inch
