Did We Really Land On the Moon?

Question

I've heard conspiricy theroys about how there isn't any wind on the moon and in the movie the flag waves and stuff like that?! What do u think.....

Answer 1

Of course it was a hoax -- Congress had nothing better to do with $400 billion dollars than give it to NASA to build styrofoam moon sets and plastic rockets.

Answer 2

Tippswimmer, 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 manned moon 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 the engineers 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.

Answer 3

Its been shown time and time agin, we did land on the Moon. would I additionally remind you that there became 6 Moon Missions that landed on the lunar floor in the process the Apollo era. None of those Apollo Moon landing's have been hoaxed. i will communicate and disprove the conspiracy theories you're responsive to. think of roughly it logically; The spacecrafts have been truthfully released by way of NASA, that's confusing to pretend. 2nd the Apollo crafts ought to no longer have orbited the Earth for 8 days because of the fact the multiple conspiracy theorists have claimed. If NASA had of executed that they could have been caught on their lie, exceptionally in the event that they did it six circumstances. The Russians tracked the Apollo missions very heavily and that they knew for a certainty that not one of the missions have been faked. in the event that they simply had the slightest clue that the Moon landing became faked it could have been the main suitable propaganda weapon for use against the U. S. and to Capitalism. The flag waves because of the fact it became planted interior the soil and Armstrong twisted the poles. it is obvious because of the fact in different photos you will discover the flag isn't shifting while he walks previous it. additionally the reason there is not any blast crater below Apollo 11 is by way of the fact while the craft landed it decreased speed upon landing on the Moon's floor, so all that it did became blow away dirt. the comparable is with using right into a vehicle park when you consider which you do no longer tension in at 30 miles an hour. Over 3 quarters of a million human beings have been engaged on the undertaking in finished. it could have been impossible for each a million of them to maintain a secret. Even filming the landing could have been tougher than landing on the Moon itself. think of with reference to the form of individuals they might have mandatory to shoot the Moon landing in a action picture studio. finally if the Moon landing became faked, we'd have found out years in the past. those issues do no longer final 40-one years without an answer.

Answer 4

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 objective, there was no political will to go back. There still isn't. Perhaps, if we discover He3 or something else valuable, there will be.

2) In 1972, there was a politically motivated burglary of a hotel room in the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. 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 just one moon landing, but six of them!

3) Even if NASA and other government agencies could have faked the six moon landings 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 to prove what liars Americans are. Why didn't they? Because the landings were real and the Soviets knew it.

Answer 5

Yes, and the flag waving thing is laughably simple. The flag was not a flag, but a stiff piece of material propped up to look like it was waving. Otherwise, it would droop with no wind. When the astronauts set it up, the top bar sprung a bit, giving the flag the slight (ever so slight) appearance of "flapping" for a second.

Answer 6

America did not land on the Moon. We payed billions of dollars for the 360 foot Saturn 5 rocket so we could look at it and say wow that is a big rocket. We kept approx. 400,000 technicians, scientists and construction contractors quiet, with zero leaks to the public. The rocks that we thought that came from moon and have proved to be from the moon are really from the Pacific Ocean.

Other Conspiracies to think about:

1. The Jews did not suffer in Germany because there was no Holocaust. Actually it was the Jews that was torturing the poor blond haired deprived Germans. Those tattoos on the Jews arms and hands that are still alive today (by the grace of God) are really there because they want to be hip.

2. We knew the Japanese were going to bomb Pearl Harbor before they did. I mean come-on President Roosevelt liked the thought of our boys baking inside the Battle Ship Arizona before they died. The President was looking for a better way to get a good nights sleep.

3. The Mafia whacked JFK, via the Russian connection, via the Cuban connection. The man on the grassy knoll was really a CIA agent employed by Castro under orders from Giancana and Marcello with direct communications with Kruschev...or something like that.

4. Aliens landed in Roswell and we transported them to Area 51 to back engineer their technology, where do you think the stealth air craft came from? Again, we kept it secret by brain washing the thousands of workers who were in on the scam.

5. The Moon we see every night is really not there along with the planets and stars as well the Planet Killing Asteroids. Those were put there by the evil United States to toy with our minds.

6. Fossils of early homosapiens, homoerectus and earlier models were put their by evil paleontologists, athropoligists, and assorted rock hounds looking to enhance their careers, Creation is the real objective reality.

7. America is a conspiracy and is a fake country and none of us Americans really live here.

8. I was never born so this response to your question is a fake.

Answer 7

Yes, Americans landed on the moon.

You are correct -- there is no air, and therefore no wind on the moon. However, there is inertia -- which is why, after the flag was unfurled, it continued to move. And since there is no air to provide any friction that owuld stop it from moving, it continued to move for some time after being unfurled.

Good grief, how many times is this inane question going to be posted to Yahoo Answers?

Answer 8

We did land on the Moon. All those people who say the flag waves have not looked at the video. Except when the astronauts are shaking it, and for just a few seconds after that, the flag hangs motionless. All the other reasons given for doubting are also bogus.

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

Remember that mixer when you do your avocado juice, or an Oxygen Mask in the Hospital. If we weren't land on the Moon, maybe we hadn't had mixer, oxygen mask or computer technology. And maybe a kind of clother that doesn't burn with the fire.
