For those who believe we never went to the moon.?

Question

I would like you to give your best effort in presenting evidence to me that we never landed on the moon. No links to websites or videos, just your own words. Once I have your answers, keep checking back, as I send rebuttals to your evidence. I still can't believe ppl buy into this conspiracy hoax.

I know we went to the moon, this was just an opportunity to give the hoax believers a place to post their "evidence"

Thank you rodie for your educated...uhm rant. It just so happens I have nothing to do but surf Answers at work. However, it is funny that you call me a loser for doing exactly the same thing as you.

Adam, currently we do not have telescopes here on earth or in orbit of earth with enough resolution power to show what we have left behind on the moon in our 6 landings. However, even if we were able to show the landing spot(s), you would just say those were fake too.

Answer 1

Hey John, you go guy! Unfortunately, the hoax believers are not the sharpest pencils in the box. You might not get a logical argument from them. They may try to quote some supposed scientific evidence when in fact they themselves never passed a science class at any level. And even after you refuted their evidence, they still do not wish to be confused by facts that contradict their preconceived notions.

Answer 2

Hi there. I know your question was directed to the "hoax faithful". However, since none of them have posted a cogent reply, I thought I would post a rebuttal first. Thanks for the question!

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 3

because there turned right into a photo of a ripple effect interior the U. S. Flag, meaning air had to were up and there is no air on the Moon. some human beings argue that technologies interior the 60's wasn't stepped ahead sufficient for a Moon landing. also, I heard that the astronauts who supposedly landed on the Moon have continually been elusive. they have no longer done many interviews and at the same time as puzzled about the landing, they have been familiar to get quite quiet and behave surprisingly. i quite do not understand if it turned right into a hoax or no longer. It certainly does no longer marvel me if we faked the completed situation. it may were person-friendly to movie it in a studio.

Answer 4

I don't think you'll get many answers. The 'evidence' is that the curvature of the moon in the pictures doesn't match the size of the moon. Judging this takes some complicated math, and the believers don't know how to do the math--they take the Enquirer's word for it. Some people also point out that the flag is waving, but that isn't wind--it's gravity.

Answer 5

Good luck with this question/forum. People who don't believe we went to the moon are usually the dumbest people in society. Therefore, logical rebuttals don't affect them.

Answer 6

Can't help ya much...but my Great Granny Barr believed that the moon shots were all fake, but that professional wrestling (rasslin') was just as real as could be.

Answer 7

What about the dark side of the moon?

Answer 8

It would have cost to muc to fake they did go because of the above eason !!!!!!!!!!

Answer 9

This is so easy....
Fact, we are people.
Fact, people leave junk wherever they go.
Show me the junkyard on the moon.
Yes junkyard, we were there
No junkyard, we were not.
