Armstrong's Shade......and Flag flying(No Air on Moon)

Answer 2

Oh man, there is just so much good evidence that the moon landings were all faked. Since fewer and fewer people are alive who actually watched them happen, I think a lot of the evidence is gradually being forgotten. It's a true historical tragedy!

For example, during the Apollo 11 broadcasts, a teenager got on the set and started jumping up and down in front of the camera making faces, like teens do. Similarly, when streaking was all the rage in 1972, a nude man ran right across the "lunar hills" during the Apollo 17 perfomance. These things were clearly visible in the original TV broadcasts, but now, of course, they've been totally edited out.

Another good one was when they had a bar-b-que set up and cooking at the "landing site" of Apollo 15. Those guys were bouncing around in their moon suits, while there was a Weber cooking up smokey links in the background! I don't even know how NASA could have blown that, I mean there's no air on the moon! Come on guys get with the program!! (Unless, of course, they intended to make such an obvious mistake as a diversion??)

My favorite, and the strongest piece of evidence, comes right from local TV studios in Florida. People who weren't around don't realize what huge news it was that man was "landing on the moon". As a result, there were all kinds of special live TV events and discussion panels. One which I personally watched was from one of the local affiliates in Florida. They had a panel of Isaac Asimov, Richard Feynman, and Jon Stewart, along with the host.

At one point, the host said they were going to a commercial, but the cameras stayed live - remember this was 1969 and TV stations weren't nearly as good as they are now at managing this stuff. Thinking he was off the air, the host turned to the panel and said:
"Why do you think this has all been staged?"
The guests looked at each other and Stewart suddenly said "I think I can speak for all of us when I say this is all part of the International Jewish Conspiracy."
Asimov and Feynman both nodded and Feyman went on to say "The goal is to force the Soviets to spend beyond their means trying to compete. This will eventually bankrupt them and allow the Jews to take Russia and perhaps some of the other republics by a bloodless putsch in the second decade of the 21st century."
The host was astonished at what he was hearing, and could only sputter "Really?"
"Sure" replied Asimov, "and by then, the man in the White House will be talking up the drive towards the fake Mars landings!"

Right then it cut to a commercial for Rice-a-Roni or something, and this amazing dialogue disappeared from view. I've spent my whole life trying to locate members of the studio crew who witnessed this, but they all seem to have vanished!

Check for yourself: it's all true. And clearly the plot continues apace, to judge from world events! I mean, the president of Iran was even advocating moving Isreal to the Arctic Circle recently! This was simply the start of the media campaign that will make a giant Israel across much of the northern hemisphere palatable to the masses!

And it all started with Kennedy's commitment to a faked moon landing: "By the end of this dicade, we will land a man on a [soundstage] ... "

Answer 3

The flag isn't fluttering. It has a bent wire along the top to give the impression of a flag waving in the wind.

Shadows are different directions: Well, what else would you expect? The camera is recording from one single point. Humans have stereoscopic vision, which allows for depth perception and other fun visual goodies. A camera doesn't have that. When you look through a camera, all you see is the effect of light through the lenses and the angle of perception from center. Besides, if there were two or more light sources, where the heck are the other shadows???

Answer 4

There is not one solid point you could use to argue that the moon landing was a hoax. The people who claim it is a hoax are either ignorant of High School science, or just refuse to believe what is so obvious. Not to mention, that most think we only landed (or didn't land) once, whereas we actully had 6 successful moon landings. They just kind of leave that little fact out.

Answer 5

The ONLY point that has any credibility at all is, if we did it in 1969, why can't or don't we do it now? All those no stars in the pictures, flag flying in a vacuum, etc. points are just proof of the ignorance of the hoax promoters.

Answer 6

You can't. All the 'evidence' against it is easily refutable.

For instance, the citing of the Van Allen belts...

Dr. van Allen himself refutes that these would have prohibited passage
The metal hull of the ship would have protected the astronauts from the vast majority of the radiation
Passage only took 30 minutes
Almost all of the lunar astronauts developed cataracts, which can be caused by exposure to radiation. This actually *supports* the contention that they went through the belts on the way to the moon.

Answer 7

There are no points other than total idiocy that the moon landings were faked.

Answer 8

If you really want to prove it wrong, I suggest you fly to the moon.

Answer 9

i watched neil armstrong walking on the moon via t.v. i have been to nasa in houston texas and they had pieces of rocks from the moon,which we were alowed to hold,also in washingtons museum.there was the food they ate and many other items.you most probaly were not born when man took one giant leap for mankind.from mikhal in israel.

Answer 10

No good points, actually. Nobody can prove it was a hoax. Because it wasn't.
