Did American Men Really Land on Moon?

Question

American's had inferior techonology back then compared to USSR when it came to space travel. How they land man on moon first? Why did space men not burn up in Van Allen belt? That kind of radiation will fry any one. What aobut moon rocks that resemble Antartic rocks? Why NASA to this day send crew to Antartica to collect rocks and junk? Why absense of delay two second delay in trasmission when aired on TV? Why U.S. flag wave when no air on moon? Why inconsistancies with photos? Why photos look so good on moon, cameras should have melted in Van Allen Belt! Why Earth Rise photo show perfectly round earth? Earth isn't round!
OK, if man did go to moon, the televised landings and photos were faked becasue quality would have sucked.
What is going on? Any thought?

Don't compare USA with Nazi Germany! That is shameful!

Answer 1

lol this is great:) i love to read the answers, because questions like yours really get people going:) thanks for the laugh!:)

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? Who took the video of Armstrong on the steps?

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

1. Yes, Americans landed on the Moon. 2. American space technology caught up to the USSR in about 1965, and stayed ahead. 3. Astronauts spent only a very short time transiting the Van Allen belts and recieved a harmless dose of radiation. 4. Moon rocks are like nothing ever seen on earth, showing evidence of exposure to vacuum, high energy cosmic rays, tiny meteroite impacts, and no exposure to water. Nothing in Antarctica resembles this. 5. NASA sends scientists all over the world for legitimate scientific reasons. So what? 6. There WAS a delay (actually almost 3 seconds) in Apollo lunar transmissions. I was there, I heard it. 7. The American flag was held horizonally by a pole, designed specifically to display the flag in an airless environment. The flag "waves" for the same reason a pendulum "waves". 8. The radiation in the Van Allen belt is mostly alpha and beta, which does not expose film. 9. The deviation of Earth from spherical is only 1 part in 300, too small to detect by eye. 10. The quality of the TV image from the Moon WAS low. But the still photos used medium format film, far superior to standard 35mm, and the quality reflects this.

Answer 4

The source is the official NASA history, in detail, of each landing. If has all sorts of information but is not trying to prove anything. If you have specific reasons that you think they are lying, I can't help you. They are not lying. There IS a 2 second delay in the transmissions, which becomes clear if you actually LISTEN to them. The flag does NOT wave except when the astronauts are holding on to the pole, which is clear if you look at the videos (not the still pictures). All the various reasons people give for disbelieving the truth of the landings are wrong.

Answer 5

Here we go again... YES. It would have been quite impossible to:

1) fake that with every astronomer on earth watching and close Soviet espionage.

2) try keeping a secret like that which would require the cooperation of thousands.

This is the exact same thing as Nazis saying the holocaust didn't happen because they don't want to believe it. If you want to hate all Americans fine but try not to be an imbecile about it.

Answer 6

Too many questions for a simple answer. Yes they did land and rocks all came from the same place so yea they going to resemble rocks from other planets/moons. Heck, I remember when they first landed. I was Time Traveling and my woman and me were in our solar tent doing what many adults do. We heard this Whooshing noise and look out and they almost landed on us, dang, idiots! So, we gathered up our stuff and time traveled back to 10,000 B.C. so we not have to worry about interruptions.

Answer 7

Why do you persist in disbelieving what actually happened?

Why do you believe the BS posted on the internet over the histories and eyewitness accounts of those who were there?

Why do you believe that the U.S. government is capable of keeping a secret of this magnitude for nearly 40 years, but they can't manage to keep it a secret if a politician has illicit sex?

Why do people insist on posting this same stupid question fifty to one hundred times per day? Do they think that, by force of numbers of posts, that they will alter history?

Go to the referenced website, and open your eyes and mind to the truth.

Answer 8

Get your facts straight, please. First of all, in 1969 American technology was--as it still is today--far superior to that of the Russians. Second, the televised pictures, although pretty good, are of lower quality than what is available today. Third, most of the technology we take for granted today--that computer you are using, your video camera, and so on--came to us specifically BECAUSE of the space race!

And, yes, men did land on the moon in 1969!

Answer 9

I've heard all these theories and they've all been debunked. Americans really did land on the moon, in 1969, case closed.

Answer 10

I thought that Japan had a good education system. Obviously, it has gone downhill. Oh, but then again, the Japanese do not teach their kids about WW II.

Answer 11

It was the American's race to the moon with USSR-they HAD to get there FIRST so they staged it in the desert. They must be so proud!
