How can we find out if any one has landed on the moon? Can we not turn the satelites around to check?

Answer 1

Ask the Clangers

Answer 2

No, we can't. First, the best resolution we can get is via the Hubble Telescope. From a distance of 400,000 kilometres It could resolve an object approximately 500 metres across. The largest object left on the moon was the base of the lunar lander - 9.75 metres across, far, far too small to be seen. So, that's that - but there is a further problem. Relatively speaking the moon is moving far, far too fast for Hubble to resolve any object on its surface. Hubble does not have any cameras capable of photographing moving objects and any photos it took of the moon would turn out to be a grey blur.

As to how we can tell someone has landed on the moon - there are hundreds of different ways to debunk the crackpot conspiracy theories. The laser reflectors set on the moon's surface are still there and are still working. The Moon's albedo - ability to reflect light - is nowhere near high enough to reflect a laser back without loss of itensity. How did they get there? No unmanned proble would have placed them with anywhere near the accuracy required. During the Apollo missions the Russians kept precise telemetry checks on the spacecraft, using radio tranmissions to follow their progress. Do you think for a second that the Russians, massively humiliated by their loss in the race for the Moon, would withhold any evidence that the American landings were fakes? Third, the rocks brought back were unique to the Moon. They were formed in a vacuum, not on Earth. Fourth and most convincing of all, is the behaviour of the dust thrown up by the boots of the astronauts and more noticeably by the wheels of the Lunar Rover. The dust does not disperse at all, as it would in air - it rises and falls in discrete particulate clumps. The films of the astronauts were shot in a vacuum - that is carved in stone fact. There is no room on earth now, and there certainly was not in 1969, large enough to contain a film set of that size in a vacuum.

Like I say, there are hundreds of other methods you can use to debunk the imbecilic crackpot theories, but common sense remains the best defence. Just think of the conspiracy that would be required to pull off such a massive fraud. Every member of NASA, every engineer, every contractor, every employee of every company supplying machinery, personnel, software (such as it was in those days) every single person throughout the world supporting the programme would have to be in on the secret. You'd have to involve literally hundreds of thousands of people and you'd have to make sure not one of them spoke about their experiences. That's worse than absurd.

Answer 3

so........you're suggesting that Nasa, go to a great deal of trouble to show that Nasa landed men on the moon?
Mmmmm.....

How about if you stop listening to the nutters who use faulty (de-bunked) 'evidence' to try and show that they know better than the scientists

How about if you ignore all those conspiracy theory nutters and accept that we made a great leap forward in technology in the 60's and 70's

if you want some hard evidence that no one disputes.....there is a laser reflector that was left on the moon by one of the manned missions. It is used by numerous observatories, - all around the world - every day, to check the distance between the moon and earth

Answer 4

There are a number of laser reflectors placed on the moon by the Apollo astronauts.

There is an observatory in the US the bounces lasers off these every couple of nights to determine the position of the moon to a few mm. So I guess that sort of proves we where there.

Answer 5

It's still a question that only has one answer, and that would be what do you believe?

Some believe it was fake just to show the Soviets that we also had done something important (this was at the time of sputnik) and some truely believe it happened. It depends what you side you believe... there really isn't a true answer. Sure, you can analize every aspect, but the evidence we have isn't much to tell if it really happened or not.

In my point of view, I believe it happened. I believe in miracles.

Answer 6

Ask the F B I they always hide things like this NO man has never been to the MOON

Answer 7

I cannot see why we cant get the hubble telescope to look at the moon to see if the american flag is actually on ther. But I suspect that because of the van allen belt, no one has reached more than high eart orbit. i do not believe that man has landed on the moon.

Answer 8

We have landed on the moon several times...

Answer 9

u dont seem to smart

but drop the moon thing


if u like want cospiracy cchek this video

Answer 10

What does it matter? They say we did, why can't we believe them? I believe them.
