How did they fake the Moon landings?

Question

Here is Buzz Aldrin punching out a reporter who asked him the same question:

They left the reflectors there via unmanned probes.

Answer 1

All we know is that they did. I have a friend that used to work for NASA and he told me everything was setup.
Wait..I think I wasn't supposed to say that....oh well so there I said it.

Answer 2

Get this straight and don't be foolish about it any more, okay? The basic technology required for a manned flight to the moon was developed in Germany in the late 1930s through the mid 1940s. This technology needed a lot of refinement to make a safe manned flight a reality.

We worked on that technology through the 1950s and 60s, and made the first flight in 1969. It all fits together, and if you read all the history and don't let the wackos lie to you, it will be impossible for you to continue to be fooled into believing that the moon missions did not take place.

The American people were much better educated and more intelligent in the 1960s and 70s than they are now, and it would never have occurred to NASA engineers and managers that 35 years later a bunch of ignorant dolts with nothing to do would come up with a stupid conspiracy theory stating that the moon landings were faked.

If that had occurred to them, I suspect they would have gone to the trouble to create a larger and more visible object of proof, to compensate for the decline in the quality of the American mind and its education that occurred during and after the Reagan presidency.

But there is a real physical proof available. The astronauts who landed on the moon left behind reflectors that are used every day by astronomers to measure the irregularities of the moon's orbit. This is done by bouncing laser beams off reflectors at known locations that were left by the astronauts. Ask your science teacher for information about these experiments. You can arrange to see this done with your own eyes.

Let me put the question to you this way: If you think the moon landings were faked, when did they become "fake?" When did the idea become popular that NASA had invented the idea of an imaginary moon mission and created a huge technological empire to fool people? When was all this fakery done? In the 60s? 70s? 80s?

And why? What was the point? And how did they fool all the people that reported the news, operated the machinery, built the moon rockets, and watched them take off and land?

Do you realize that one American in 500 was a part of the Apollo program? Millions of them are still alive. Are they fooling you? Why? If you go out to a football game, look around you. In the stadium there are people who worked on the Apollo program.

Ask around. You are surrounded by people who know for sure that American astronauts stood on the moon more than 35 years ago.

And in my opinion, if that actually happened, it took a really stupid jerk to stand there and insult a wiry little hand-to-had combat expert like Buzz Aldrin. He deserved worse than he got.

1) The "moon race" was an extension of the cold war. It was mostly about national prestige. We got there first and achieved our primary objective. There was some good science: surveys, measurements, sample collection. But it was mostly about being there first. Once we achieved our primary object, there was no political will to go back. There still isn't.

2) In 1972, there was a politically motivated burglary of a hotel room in the Watergate Hotel. There were only about six or eight people who knew about it. However, those people, including Richard M. Nixon, the President of the United States, failed to keep that burglary a secret. It exploded into a scandal that drove the President and a number of others from office.

If six or eight people couldn't keep a hotel room burglary a secret, then how could literally thousands of people could have kept their mouths shut about six faked moon landings? Not one, but six!

3) Even if NASA and other government agencies could have fake the six moon landing well enough to fool the general public, they could NOT have fooled the space agency or military intelligence types in the USSR. The Soviets were just dying to beat us. If the landings were faked, the Soviets would have re-engineered their N-1 booster and landed on the moon just prove what liars Americans are. Why didn't they? Because the landings were real and the Soviets knew it.

Answer 4

The reflectors had to be perfectly aligned and aimed at Earth. Unmanned probes could not do that back then. Today we have rovers (like the ones on Mars) that maybe could do that, but the unmanned lunar landers were stationary.

Answer 5

They had computer technology far in advance of what they let us have now, and they generated the images by computer. Easy.

They got the computer technology from the Roswell saucer.

They did it because they needed a cover story to explain all the people working on saucer technology, all the money that was going into it, and all the technological breakthroughs that resulted. You didn't think human beings could come up with Tang and Velcro on their own, did you?

They're now using their superior computer technology to control your thoughts. Soon, after studying all the evidence, you will come to believe that the moon landings actually did take place. Resist! Resist! You know the truth now, you must never change your mind, no matter what!

Oh yeah, and they put the retroreflectors up there using a repaired saucer.



The really ironic thing is that although all the Apollo missions were faked, the movie "Apollo 13", you know the one with Tom Hanks, was actually filmed on location in orbit around the Moon.
The director Ron Howard wanted to get realistic closeups of the actors in zero gee, and so they lent him a couple saucers for a month of filming. They owed Ron some favors because of all the work he had done for them faking Whitewater documents. Nowdays Ron fakes video tapes that a certain person who is supposedly still alive supposedly releases from time to time. Enough said.

Answer 6

Congress actually did authorise billions of dollars so that NASA could build cardboard and styrofoam spaceships on a movie set in New Mexico. And thousands of people went to Cape Canaveral to watch NASA send up phoney rockets with phoney astronauts. And all those thousands of people who built all the equipment were really using Silly Putty and Playdough.

Answer 7

Well....they consulted:
1. Bigfoot,
2. Adolph Hitler (secretly living in Argentina), and
3. Amelia Earhardt (who miraculously survived her plane crash,
and was running a Quicky Mart in Keokuk, Iowa).

And you what can happen when THOSE three get together....

Answer 8

Time Machine

Answer 9

They didn't.
Every single "proof" the conspiracy theorists have has been disproven long ago. Of course, lots of wacky people still don't believe the truth, so it's useless to argue with them.

We really did put 12 men on the moon. There's no credible evidence that disputes that, and tons of evidence that supports it.

Answer 10

By actually landing on the Moon.

Answer 11

How did they leave the laser retroreflectors there without actually going there, that's what I want to know.
