When will we be able to know if man ever went to the moon in the 60's?

Question

I heard that Japan where sending a probe up to orbit the moon and take photo's but has it happened yet or is it going to happen? We all know nasa hasn't ever given any explanation to the very obvious inconsistancies in the still photographs and the most compelling to me was the module miracules position shift of 100 ft with the same background. To me the flag doesn't look like its waving in the wind thats bollocks but the position points on the photos those black crosses you get in a rectangle formation to help you point the camera in the right place why did it very obviously appear that objects had ben super impossed over the crosses slightly? The thruth is out there, so when will we see it?

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? Who took the video of Neil Armstrong?

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

>> And if they can't afford to go to the moon or mars etc...... Then how can they afford to send a robot up there ? . Unmanned probes are less expensive because even the largest are lighter than a spacecraft with life support and space for three astronauts. Boosting a payload is the expensive part of the mission. Meanwhile, NASA's budget is less than .5% of the US budget. >> I personally believe it's a hoax , why ? Because if they done it today we would would be able to tell what's fake and what isn't , back in 60's and 70's people weren't as use to camera trick and hoaxes as much so they were stupid enough to believe it etc ....... This would require better camera tricks than we have now, which would be pretty amazing. >> watched a programme on debunking the moon landing it was unreal how many stupid errors there was during the moon landing , it looked so fake and stupid , Such programs themselves have been ruthlessly debunked. But, they do have appeal with a scientifically illiterate audience. >> Most you people will disagree because your scientists and you prefer to believe we we went to the moon (but you don't believe in aliens strange hmmmm) but deep down you believers know for a fact those landings were defo faked . Ample evidence for the Moon landings. Evidence for contact with extraterrestrial life is fuzzy and anecdotal. But, no, since I'm scientifically literate, I realize that they were almost certainly real, and that making a hoax to fit all of the data points would be more difficult than simply going. I allow for the possibility of extraterrestrial life; I have doubts it's flying over us, avoiding making contact, yet simultaneously forgetting to turn its running lights off. >> What about the journalist who quizzed buzz aldrin Aldrin didn't hit a journalist. He hit Bart Siebrel. A journalist is someone who works for a newspaper and reports on the news. Siebrel just writes moon hoax propaganda. I'd have punched him too if he used the approach he was using. I'd say the answer Buzz gave him was pretty definite. >> What do you think ? Be honest ..... No offensive answers though please . Remember it's just a question not a threat , some if you people on here are very rude . It's a rude question, complete with a lot of rude implications. But, I mean no rudeness, only factual accuracy, when I say you seem to be putting your ignorance up on a pedestal and giving it a solid gold plating. Anti-intellectualism can be rewarding for some folks.

Answer 3

We already do. I watched it on television, silly. I saw the first man walk on the moon when I was a little girl on television. It was real!

Answer 4

Agents Molder and Skully are working on this.

Answer 5

I'm guessing you don't believe the Holocaust happened either, do you?
