What is the probability that the man on the moon was a hoax?

Answer 1

Zero.

People refuse to stop believing the "hoax" and conspiracy theories, though. The "scientific evidence" that the moon landings were staged has been so thoroughly debunked that anyone still clinging to it looks either desperate for attention or just plain ignorant. I'm not trying to be harsh...but the facts are pretty clear:

We went to the moon!

Answer 2

The probability is zero that the six moon landings were faked.

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

Think about this. In the 1960's, the Americans and the Soviets tried to go to the Moon. The Soviets failed. Their government controlled every aspect of the media, and their scientists were advanced enough to give ours nightmares for the next 20 years. If we could fake a Moon landing, surely they could have too. Yet they didn't even try to create "evidence" that they had landed on the Moon. Instead, they tried to pretend they never wanted to go in the first place. Surely, if they though they could get away with it, they would have claimed they did go to the Moon--it would have been a real boost to Soviet morale at a time when they really needed it.

The Americans, on the other hand, did produce evidence that they had been to the moon. There were thousands of NASA employees who had helped design the spaceships and guide them on the way. There were videotapes of the Moon landings. There is a reflector cube set up there that physicists used to measure the speed of light. Unlike the USSR, America had and has a free press. Do you really think our government could pull off a cover-up so immense, theirs didn't even attempt it?

Answer 4

The probability of a hoax is one billion to one for the following
reason.The number of people that were involved in the moon project.The flaw in the whole hoax theory is that it would require
over a million people to co-operate right down the line.
That is a big ask.

Answer 5

Close to zero. Thousands of people work for NASA, and many of them would have known about the hoax. If it were a hoax, a few of them could have sold the story to CBS for a million dollars.

You just can't hide a secret that many know about.

I love this proverb: Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead.

Answer 6

Zero. But if you disagree, why don't you go up to Neil Armstrong and ask him if it's a hoax? I think he or Buzz Aldrin knocked out the last guy who asked them that. LOL

Answer 7

You're right. In truth, only the Easter Bunny has been to the moon.

Answer 8

0%

Answer 9

101%

reasons
1. check the flag
2. check the cross hairs of the official footage
3. check the backgrounds of those two places that were said to be as distant as 3 km
3. check the tracks of shadows
4. since the cameras of the astronauts were hard to handle(told by nasa alone) how did they took crisp clear pics
5. why wasn't there any craters produced by the thrust produced by the rover

Answer 10

Someone had to make the cheese!
