Thank you for illustrating the exact attitude you need to believe in the "hoax" idea.

This attitude is: "I want the truth ... somebody please give me a conspiracy theory."

In other words, you've already made up your mind that the truth must be a conspiracy theory. No weighing of evidence. No science. No logic. Just "if it's a consipracy theory, I'll believe it as the truth."

That's why conspiracy theorists end up like the geniuses on this page who believe that the moon has "no gravity" (hint ... yes it does have gravity, einstein), or that they know more about van Allen radiation than a PhD. in astrophysics, or that the best engineers and rocket scientists in the world would stage this elaborate scene but "forget" (oops) that the studio should have no wind. Even if you believe that thousands of these engineers and scientists could be so corrupt and capable of pulling off such a stunt for so long, why on earth do you believe they are simultaneously so competent and so unbelievably STUPID that all their PhD.s would overlook basic facts about the moon or space that some bozos with barely a high-school education would catch.

So where you fall on this flag fluttering claim is a good indicator of your ability to evaluate evidence and whether you have two scientific molecules in your brain. Have you actually seen the video? Or are you just believing what people have told you, or looking at still photographs? Is that really a flag fluttering so hard that it must have been a gale-force wind in the studio that day (and all those NASA folks just didn't notice, or figured nobody else would)? Or is it more likely that those NASA engineers might actually know that there is no air on the mooon, and therefore created a flag that would hold itself out from the pole so that it didn't hang like a limp rag?

People who believe the moon landing was a hoax are lucky to be able to turn on a light switch.

P.S. See Otis F's answer. It is very, very good.

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?

Neil armstrong's landing on moon is fact that no one can dispute.

Not only he landed but there were other landings of man on the moon by USA and USSR had few landing of Unmanned probes on the moon.

India and China both have ambition to have moon landings in the near future, then again there is a program to build a space station on the moon by the end of 2030 AD by USA. Station will need lots of landing before the completion and will be maned by few astronauts. The people will move freely in the station as if they are in a house on the earth. The site will be North pole of moon, It gets sun light most of the time and is most suitable for generating solar power for the lab. Astronauts will venture out to conduct mining and testing operation. I am sure other countries also have some program on the drawing board or I should say on their super computers. I wish them well and wish, we on earth will benefit immensely from them as we already have benefited from previous programs.

Frankly, anyone who believe that the moon landing was faked is just grasping at straws to discredit the government. As if there isn't enough real evidence to do that.

Anyway, the flag waving thing is simple to explain. The rest of the video they shot shows the astronaut shaking the flag pole to get that ****** moving. Don't need wind if you've got a little elbow grease. Oh, and the moon does in fact have gravity. If you know anything about physics it should strike you that any body the size of the moon has a large gravitational field. Not as large as the earth's, but still enought to keep a person planted. They can just quite a lot higher though, and bound across those lunar planes like a jackalope.

Well, he landed on the moon. Are you looking for a conspiracy theory or something? He landed on the moon, and it wasn't faked like what's been popularized by the media. The end. Sorry it's boring.

Depends on whether or not you UNDERSTAND and accept the tons of scientific data that reveals the idiocy of all those so-called 'proofs' that nobody ever got to the moon. Chose the latter and you join the lunatic fringe who will tell you that even the moon is nothing more than a NASA hoax, the Earth is flat, and Elvis is alive and working in a donut shop in Cleveland.

This website is the best around in showing the stupidity of thinking the moon landings (..all seven of them) were hoaxes.

Believe me its all fake. At that time Russia was as powerful as America and therefore to beat Russia, USA came up with a plan to create a surrounding like that of moon in their studio. Unfortunately, they forgot the soft drinks can and shot it in their film.Now NASA says that they have lost the film .How could they lose such a priceless film?

You say you are looking for a conspiracy theory about this? Why? Surely to God, you must realize that Watergate and the Lewinsky Affair prove beyond any doubt that America and Americans simply can't keep their mouths shut when it comes to a damned good scandal.

Please, go and read a good book.

the COCA-COLA company landed on the moon before Neil Armstrong. (the tv photographer forgot to remove the empty bottle he drank from the scene on the first live telecast)
