Was Neil Armstrong really the 1st person on the moon or was it 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? 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

Yes, Armstrong was the first on the moon. It was no hoax..All the arguments made by unknowing (not to bright) people have been rebutted, and all the remaining speculation is by a bunch of nuts who will do anything to get attention.

My uncle used to believe that the weather changed because the space probes were punching holes on the clouds that would not heal over. Half the people have I.Q.'s below 100, and some are not intelligent to understand what they see, read, hear.

Answer 3

Neil Armstrong really was the 1st person on the moon. It was not a hoax. But some people love to believe in hoaxes and conspiricies, even in the absense of evidence. You can't convince such people.

Answer 4

No he was not the first on the moon I was in 57 then a hole **** load of marines, airforce, army reserves. About the hoax I think it came from a statement the world heard from the apollo landing on how it matches the bible qoute to mass murder females so they called it a hoax to reduce casualtie on earth.

Answer 5

Your two questions are not mutually exclusive.

No, Neil Armstrong was not the first person on the moon. The Mayans were there millennia ago.

No, it was not a hoax, Neil Armstrong was there in 1969

Answer 6

in reality, they attempt to apply the undeniable fact that we've not got the hardware at the instant to pass to the moon as evidence that we did not make six manned landings. it is the equivalent of asserting that the D-Day landings did not take place because of the fact we've not got a huge sufficient military to pull it off at present. As for the respond that asserts there grew to become into "wind" blowing the flag, that's in keeping with video that the hoax idiots (and that's what they are) have edited. They coach the flag shifting, yet have edited out the commencing up of the clip, the place the astronaut is shifting the flag. and that they by no skill coach clips of astronauts shifting basically inches from the flag, which does not pass. previous that, they have this theory that the government grew to become into waiting to pull off this hoax that fooled the completed international which comprise the Soviets (who hated us, yet they weren't stupid) with all that involves (which comprise determining a thank you to get the time delays good in transmissions, a thank you to get rocks that are in assessment to any on earth, and a selection of of different thousand different issues), yet by some skill they left the aircon on, and no person who observed the action picture in the previous broadcast ever caught it. It takes a particular style of denial to hold those recommendations of their heads Edit: I see dnl is decrease back to his "Van Allen Belts" argument that he tried a pair of months in the past. he's hoping you don't comprehend (or he forgot that we defined to him), that a) the astronaut's trajectory grew to become into designed so as that they only went in the time of the fringe of the belts, b) that they have got been in them for an quite jiffy (an hour or so) , c) that the belts are charged debris, meaning that the aluminum hull of the spacecraft is actual the terrific textile to dam it, and d) the composition and capability of the belts has been well-known when you consider that approximately 1960. he's, as he reported, entitled to his very own ideals. What he quite needs is his very own set of information, which conflict with what actual technology says.

Answer 7

True, no hoax.
To be a hoax would be a total waste of time and money.
To get these men to the moon took the effort of about 30 000 engineers.

Answer 8

A HOAX...

NASA says we can go in 12 years? why can we go back right now???

How did they get past the radiation of Van Allen's Belt?

The Chinese led the space race...They did everything first...they say the could not get past the radiation.

The easiest way to shut the cynics like me up is to take a pic of all the stuff that was left up there....BUT NASA says we don't have anything powerful enough to take a picture....but we can take nice pretty picture of craters and rocks on mars...


Time and Money would be a little sacrifice when a country is losing the faith of it's citizen's and the President (who was shot and opened another controversy) made a promise to it's citizens that we would be the first on the moon.

Answer 9

He actually landed on the moon with his left leg. With him was Edwin Alberge and Buzz Aldrin. They only say that Neil Amstrong was first because he was the first one who got out from the rocket.

Answer 10

If you belive that a rocket can carry a nuclear payload from the USA to moscow, the you should belive that a rocket can carry three humans to the moon. It's basicly the very same technology.
So if you don't belive in space travel or the moon landing, then you consequently don't belive in ICBMs and nuclear wars, and therefore you live in a world totaly different from ours :)

Yours is propably prettier though !
