Did man walked on the moon for real?

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, for real!

If I tried to tell you that the super bowl XX was never played, it was faked, would you believe me? I could say that all the footage was made in a movie studio, that all the fans who attended the game in person know it was fake and are in on the cover up. Would that make sense? Of course not! Well, the Apollo missions generated WAY, WAY more interest than any super bowl. If you did not live through it like I did you have no idea. Every channel on TV had hours and hours of live coverage. Millions of people went to Florida to see the launches in person. Hundreds of thousands of workers worked on the program (my dad has a small part in that). There is no way all that was faked!

Answer 3

I guess you didn't know the moon is made of cheese. There is a huge cheese industry and it requires regular trips to the moon to mine it. That being said I would have to say yes, man has walked on the moon.

Answer 4

No,they hopped. They jumped around and drove their Lunar rover. If you watch their videos. You can see how they "floated" around. Their arms weren't completely down. The American flag was almost flat since there was no wind moving it. It was not a hoax. The Russians,Chinese or Japanese would have exploited the chance to reveal any inconsistencies. Why would NASA and the Ameircan media create so much attention about any conspiracy efforts ? Would a bank robber try to cover up his crime by organising a news confrence before he did it ?

Answer 5

Of course they did.

Its easier for me to believe that the United States sent people to the moon, than to believe that the United States is so good at creating and keeping a conspiracy. If anything, the United States has the worse government for keeping secrets.

Answer 6

The moon landing was real. The flag had metal wires to hold it outstretched. Nobody could keep such a conspiracy a secret if it were true.

Answer 7

Yes.

Answer 8

Nobody walked on the moon because the moon is just a NASA hoax. Also, the Earth is flat and Elvis is alive and well working in a donut shop in Cleveland.

Answer 9

Yes for real.

Answer 10

yes
