does anyone out there"truly"believe the moon landing by the USA was a hoax?

Answer 1

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 2

Hi. Do you believe the government is capable of pulling a hoax off and keeping it secret? Do you believe they would hoax a failure such as Apollo 13? Or a tragedy such as Apollo 1? Neither do I.

Answer 3

even although my spouse's father complete gas calculations for the unique Apollo landing, i'm going to spare you that speech. particularly, i'm going to motivate you to observe 2 classes. the 1st tutor is named Conspiracy Moon landing that it at the instant displaying on the national Geographic Channel and it distinctly plenty obliterates all of the universal conspiracy theories. i might additionally motivate you to observe a movie called Capricorn One. Made it 1978, that's a fictional tale a pair of pretend challenge to Mars. even although that's a technology fiction tale, that's a solid occasion of ways completely impossible it would be to pretend a moon landing for any length of time. 12 men walked on the moon from 1969 to 1972 and we've neither the components nor the technologies to tug off that vast of a hoax for see you later. 1000's of 1000's of people have worked on the gap application. it would be far much less complicated to place somebody on the moon than to objective and pretend it and save it secret for almost 40 years. The landings got here at a time whilst our area application grew to become into extremely aggressive with the former Soviet Union. remember how huge of a deal it grew to become into whilst Sputnik grew to become into positioned into orbit? that they had the technologies to visual reveal unit our moon photos and transmissions. do no longer you think of they might have called us out if that they had evidence that it grew to become into all pretend? consistent with threat the main definitive evidence of our trip to the moon is what we left at the back of. For the final 35+ years, scientists have been beaming lasers to the moon and measuring the return cases. How are they doing this? The beams are meditated returned via equipment left on the moon on at 3 distinctive places. Case closed.

Answer 4

Nope. NASA would never has jeopardized such an outlandish lye to the public for fear of losing all credibility and funding for that particular administration. Someone would have found out and they know it. There were too many astronomers manning powerful stations that you could not have fooled. They would have everything to lose by such a pretense.

Answer 5

No there was no hoax, and pretty soon we will have land based telescopes that will be able to see all the stuff they left behind. I can't wait to see what the conspiracy theorist say about that.
Something like : "Who are you going to believe? Me, or your own eyes."

Answer 6

Ask the conspiracy theorists to explain the projectile paths of the dust coming off the lunar rover wheels. The projectile paths can be mathematically calculated and shown not to be in earth's gravity.

Answer 7

I think we really were there!~ but I'd call it a hoax if it would make America go back again!

Answer 8

The government is always bad, but I watched Apollo eleven rocket go through the whole mission, it was more real than the pentagon strike.

Answer 9

Are you asking this question in order to bring all the kooks out of the woodwork?

Answer 10

I think it is time to give this overasked question a proper burial.
