Did NASA actually land on the moon?

Question

Did NASA actually land on the moon or were they faking it?? I need some opinions for my science teacher!!!

Answer 1

Not, it is a derivative of moon land, in actual fact no one can reach the moon. NASA reach moon, it was a plant but not a moon. Even now they sent two sat's to sun....are you believe they manage to reach the sun.

1) Because, your teacher teach you that there is a person reach the moon from NASA.

2) But my grand mother say that there is her grandma sit down in the moon, prepare dinner for me.

above two item which one is true?....you need marks to pass the exam. So you begin to believe the teacher....on the other hand my grandma want's me to take a dinner with full happiness. that she would like to say my dinner from the moon.

from the above two information, which you choose to predict to your teach.

My conclusion is that every thing can be done by human. why you want to predict the teacher that the NASA actually land on the moon. so don't think too much to predict the teacher....try to follow their instruction...once you reach as a scientist. Then you think toomuch like me......

Young scientist.

Answer 2

1) Twelve 12 American astronauts have walked on the moon.

Apollo 11: Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin
Apollo 12: Pete Conrad & Alan Bean
Apollo 13: << failed to land on the moon >>
Apollo 14: Alan Shepard & Edgar (Ed) Mitchell
Apollo 15: David Scott & James Irwin
Apollo 16: John Young & Charles Duke
Apollo 17: Eugene (Gene) Cernan & Harrison Schmidt


2) Why haven't we been back?

a) American astronauts visited the moon on six occasions.

b) 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.

c) I used to travel to Crested Butte, Colorado every year to ski. Because I don't go anymore, does it mean that I never went?


3) What about the Van Allen radiation belts? Wouldn't it have killed the astronauts?

The existence of the Van Allen radiation belts postulated in the 1940s by Nicholas Christofilos. Their existence was confirmed in *1958* by the Explorer I satellite launched by the USA.

The radiation in the Van Allen radiation belts is not particularly strong. You would have to hang out there for a week or so in order to get radiation sickness. And, because the radiation is not particularly strong, a few millimeters of metal is all that is required for protection. "An object satellite shielded by 3 mm of aluminum will receive about 2500 rem (25 Sv) per *year*."

"In practice, Apollo astronauts who travelled to the moon spent very little time in the belts and received a harmless dose. [6]. Nevertheless NASA deliberately timed Apollo launches, and used lunar transfer orbits that only skirted the edge of the belt over the equator to minimise the radiation." When the astronauts returned to Earth, their dosimeters showed that they had received about as much radiation as a couple of medical X-rays.


4) The U.S. government scammed everyone?

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!


5) What about the USSR?

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.


6) Why does the flag shake? Where are the stars?

Take a look at the first two websites listed below. They deal well with all of the technical questions.


7) Finally, please tell us what you would accept as definitive evidence that the six moon landings were real. Is there anything?

Answer 3

There are many opinions on the subject, and I'll give you some good info on why it could have been faked. I myself am not a conspiracy-theorist at all, and I do believe that it was real, but I guess I'll play devil's advocate with myself.

1. The moon landing took place during the space-race, and America felt the extreme need to be the first on the moon, as did several other countries, Russia in particular. After several failed missions, perhaps someone decided that if we just make a realistic video, it'll look like we won, and if people believe it, then it's real enough.

2. The video of the landing shown on TV was actually much lower quality than the one received, or manufactured. There was a very high quality video on file, but it has since been 'lost'. John Sarkissian of Parkes Observatory Australia reports that "698 of the 700 boxes of original tapes have gone missing." Losing 698 boxes of one of the most important events to happen to NASA, and America as well, seems unlikely. {This information from http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/07/13/1654200&from=rss}

3. The flag rippled. There is no atmosphere on the moon, and therefore no wind, and so the American flag that they put on the moon should not have rippled or waved at all. Believers argue that the backwards-and-forwards movement that was required to stick the flag into moon-sooil caused the ripple.

4. There is also a controversy regarding a swirl of dust behind the astronaughts. Again, Moon = no atmosphere = no wind = no swirl.

5. The US could have done it to distract the public from the ongoing Vietnam War.

6. There are no stars in any of the photographs. This could be easily explained by the fact that the sun was shining, though.

Answer 4

Yes, the Apollo moon landings were real. See the source for full details of all the missions.

Answer 5

You bet they did! They brought film, audio, and samples back and a capsule that proves it traveled through the atmosphere.

It all goes back to the flag with a wave. NASA explained the flag retained that shape because of the glue, or chemical used to hold it together during travel, and the way it was folded

Answer 6

Yes, we landed on the moon.

Conspiracies say anything and everything.

We were there. One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.

Answer 7

Yes, we landed on the moon. There are mirrors that were placed on its surface that are still used by scientists today. This is just a silly conspiracy theory that it was staged.

Answer 8

NASA actually landed, six times.

The rocks recovered show a composition not found on earth

Answer 9

Yes.

Answer 10

Yep.
