did neil amstrong really landed on moon?

Question

there is a lot of speculations that it is not true and it was done on a movie studio. can you give some comments on this.

Answer 1

Although my wife's father performed fuel calculations for the original Apollo landing, I'll spare you that speech. Instead, I will encourage you to watch two programs. The first show is called Conspiracy Moon Landing that it currently showing on the National Geographic Channel and it pretty much obliterates all of the popular conspiracy theories.

I would also encourage you to watch a movie called Capricorn One. Made it 1978, it is a fictional story about a fake mission to Mars. Although it is a science fiction story, it is a good example of how utterly impossible it would be to fake a moon landing for any length of time.

12 men walked on the moon from 1969 to 1972 and we have neither the resources nor the technology to pull off that big of a hoax for so long. Hundreds of thousands of people have worked on the space program. It would be far easier to put someone on the moon than to try and fake it and keep it secret for nearly 40 years.

The landings came at a time when our space program was ultra competitive with the former Soviet Union. Remember how big of a deal it was when Sputnik was put into orbit? They had the technology to monitor our moon shots and transmissions. Don't you think they would have called us out if they had evidence that it was all fake?

Perhaps the most definitive proof of our trip to the moon is what we left behind. For the last 35+ years, scientists have been beaming lasers to the moon and measuring the return times. How are they doing this? The beams are reflected back by equipment left on the moon on at 3 different locations.

Case closed.

Answer 2

There is all sorts of pseudo-scientific claptrap out there purporting to prove that we've never landed on the moon. But it is all BS. We landed on the moon -- SIX different times.

Answer 3

Yes, he did. There were a total of six moon landings. Twelve American astronauts explored the moon.

Answer 4

He did land on the moon. There is much more evidence that supports they landed on the moon than they did not.

Answer 5

No, it was Neil Armstrong, not this Amstrong guy.

Answer 6

Well..... If you have a really good pair of binoculars or a medium-cheap telescope, it's pretty easy to find the landing spot and see the landing module.

Answer 7

I saw him at Sam's bar and grill watching television on that day :-)
sorry, YES he did land on the moon!!

Answer 8

hey don't be silly yaar,
why he could not? afterall he was the man with strong arms

Answer 9

Never

Answer 10

Here is an autobiography on him. It is fully true. Here is the website you can find it onhttp://space.about.com/od/astronautbiographies/a/neilarmstrong.htm. There are also Pictures you can find on here.http://space.about.com/od/formerastronauts/ig/Neil-Armstrong-Pictures/index.htm

First Man on the Moon

Born on August 5, 1930 on his grandparents’ farm in Auglaize County, Ohio, Neil Armstrong was the eldest of three children of Stephen and Viola Engel Armstrong. His family moved several times before they settled in Wapakoneta when Neil was 13. Neil fell in love with airplanes at the age of 6 when he took his first flight, in a Ford Tri-Motor “Tin Goose.” He worked at numerous jobs around town and at the nearby airport so he could start taking flying lessons at the age of 15 and on his 16th birthday he was issued a pilot's license. He hadn't even received his automobile license yet.

Always fascinated by planes and flying, Armstrong built a small wind tunnel in the basement of his home where he performed experiments on model planes he built.

After he graduated from Blume High School in 1947, Neil Armstrong entered Purdue University with a US Navy scholarship. He began work on an aeronautical engineering degree, but in 1949, he was called to active duty with the Navy. He won his jet wings at Pensacola Naval Air Station in Florida at the age of 20, the youngest pilot in his squadron. He was sent to Korea in 1950 and flew 78 combat missions in Navy Panther jets winning three Air Medals. Before the war was over, Armstrong returned to Purdue to complete his bachelor’s degree in aeronautical engineering in 1955.

Neil Armstrong joined NACA, (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics), NASA's predecessor, as a research pilot at the Lewis Laboratory in Cleveland and later transferred to the NACA High Speed Flight Station at Edwards AFB, California. He was a project pilot on many pioneering high speed aircraft, including the 4,000 mph X-15. As a test pilot, Neil Armstrong made 7 flights in the X-15 aircraft. He was able to attain an altitude of 63,198 meters (207,500 feet).

In 1962, Armstrong was transferred to astronaut status. He served as command pilot for the Gemini 8 mission, launched March 16, 1966, and along with David Scott, performed the first successful docking of two vehicles in space by mating his Gemini 8 with an uninhabited Agena rocket.

Neil Armstrong Makes History
In 1969, Neil Armstrong was commander of Apollo 11, the first manned lunar landing mission. Launching from Pad A, Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center, Florida at 9:32 a.m. EDT (13:32 UT) on a clear sunny Wednesday, 16 July 1969, the journey to the moon began. Armstrong was mission commander and was accompanied by Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, 38 (USAF Lt. Colonel who'd flown Gemini 10) and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin E. (Buzz) Aldrin, Jr., 39 (USAF Colonel who'd flown Gemini 12). On July 20, 1969, Armstrong and Aldrin descended to the Lunar surface and shortly thereafter, Neil Armstrong became the first man to set foot on the moon. After a brief visit, the astronauts returned to the orbiting spacecraft and all three men returned to Earth, splashing down safely on July 24, 1969.
In the wake of this accomplishment, Armstrong received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest award offered to a U.S. civilian. He has also been awarded the NASA Distinguished Service Medal, the NASA Exceptional Service Medal, seventeen medals from other countries, the Robert H. Goddard Memorial Trophy in 1970; the Robert J. Collier Trophy in 1969; and the Congressional Space Medal of Honor, 1978.
Armstrong subsequently held the position of Deputy Association Administrator for Aeronautics, NASA Headquarters Office of Advanced Research and Technology, from 1970 to 1971. His responsibilities included the coordination and management of overall NASA research and technology work related to aeronautics. He resigned from NASA in 1971.

From 1971 to 1979 Neil Armstrong was a professor of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Cincinnati. Until 1992, he served as chairman of Computing Technologies for Aviation in Charlottesville, Virginia and then became chairman of the board of AIL Systems; an electronics systems company in New York. Armstrong served on the National Commission on space from 1985 to 1986. In 1986, he was appointed as vice chairman of the presidential commission that investigated the Challenger explosion. Neil Armstrong is married and has two children. He currently lives quietly on his farm in Lebanon, Ohio.
