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?

Hmmm.... so why then when there is no light on Earth except Suns light cannot we see stars? Is it perhaps because its DAY time??? They obviously have day time on the Moon! That's what it's called when the Sun is shining where you are standing. Ugh!
All these fools who believe the hoax stories are forgetting something.... There were more than 10,000 people all up around the world who were involved in all the different aspects of only the first Lunar landing. Now just sit down and think (can you do that?) about all the possible occupations that would have been involved in every aspect of it- from designing rockets and spacesuits, even the food the atronauts ate to figuring out mathematically how to get them there and back. Then of course were all the people in the TV networks and the radio telescopes about the world who were involved in the radio and TV transmissions. Do you really think every one of those folks was a part of this hoax? THINK!

But, how does this tie in with the assassination of JFK? Did it have anything to do with Elvis being made a DEA agent by Nixon? I think it all began when they stole the election from Dewey and gave it to Ike. Men in space. What a laugh, next they'll be asking us to believe that man can see things, live, in real time, that are happening on the other side of the world, by looking at a little box plugged into the wall. Or that we can travel through the air, over oceans to get to Europe. Imagine how stupid they really think we are. I agree with you completely. These things are impossible, and they have every reason to fool us, and make us think they really happened. But, what are they trying to hide? Personally, I think it is all a plot to cover up the fact that Hoover wore a dress in private.

There is a group of people who claim the visits to the moon were fabricated and that it is all part of a big conspiracy theory. It IS an interesting theory, however, there have been way too many other space attempts by various countries which prove the technology is there.
I have to tell you though, there are also nutcakes out there who still believe the earth is flat. And I am not joking.
Sometimes conspiracy theories are true .. there are hundreds of them throughout history. But this one ... I find it ~highly~ dubious.

I think you've been mislead. There were tens of thousands of people involved with the project. Each one knew what they were doing was real. Why would someone do masses of expensive research on the tens of thousands of parts needed for a successful lunar landing, build a real rocket, train real astronauts, build a real lunar module, launch the rocket with the astronauts on board, etc, and then fake it? They wouldn't. The researchers, the engineers, the technicians, the astronauts themselves, the launch control staff, they all would have spotted if it was a fake. How many of the people who actually involved who said it was a fake? My guess is none.
I saw a program of this sort once and it was so biased it wasn't even funny. It was one of the worst pieces of reporting I've seen.

Your total disregard of the truth is highly commendable.
I congratulate you in being totally suckered by people who
know just enough to cause trouble, and have researched just
far enough to discover some tiny item that proves to them
what they sought to prove instead of looking at all of the information, all of the data, the actual componens used, and
the actual people who made those heroic visits.
So now you know that you are a foolish non - believer. Whose fault is that? Most likely it is your fault. But you can learn. A good education is yours to gain if you only take the time and effort. It wouldn't do a thing for me, personally, but it might make all the difference in the world for you, and your future.

Wow. Conspiracy theorists really got to you. Plain and simple, we HAVE been to the moon.
But, the mission was manned by Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, and Gary Coleman. While they were on the moon, they fired a single bullet, which managed to gain strange temporal properties, and simultaneously killed 47 people in a single instant. Furthermore, when they made it back into the atmosphere, it was thousands of years in the future, and the planet had been over run by intelligent apes. Dr. Zaius provided them with technology he had stolen from Charlton Heston, and with that, they were able to go back in time. Bigfoot then changed his name to Pierre Boulle. and told the story of his time on the Planet of the Apes.
I mean, seriously, how could you NOT know all of that?

Good question. If the US government can create and perpetuate a lie, like the Moon landings, then they will continue to create and perpetuate new lies. This is a form of control exercised by all governments to subjugate their people, so a few politicians, and their rich constituents can continue to rob government of billions of dollars. How do you become an instant millionaire? Get a government contract form one of your close Friends. Hence, **** Cheney, Vice President of the United States, and his old company, Haliburton.
After the Second World, former president Dwight Eisenhower warned of a Military Industrial Complex. Then came the government sponsored murder of John F. Kennedy and the complete cover-up, which continues to this day. If the government could get away with killing its own president, why not fake the Moon Landings? Then came 911. Another government sponsored lie. Instead of killing one person, like JFK, the government killed just under 3000 of its own citizens using 911 as a pretext to attack oil rich Afghanistan and Iraq. President Bush used the US military to secure these countries to enrich the large US oil corporations. Every US president is told 8 secrets upon entering office. He or she, then gives up his or her right as a civilian, and is indoctrinated into an exclusive club, where secrecy is a life long virtue.

of direction we went to the moon. Google "undesirable astronomy", that guy has an entire section on his internet site relating to the people who declare the moon landing replaced right into a hoax. There are no longer any telescopes powerful sufficient to make certain the significant factors of the landing websites on the moon. One probe that flew on the fringe of the moon did take a photo of one of the landing websites, yet from that distance and with the optics it had it in basic terms feels like a black blob. It wasn't a intense decision satellite tv for pc like those around earth. the reason we've not long gone returned is with the help of the fact we don't have a very compelling reason to. it particularly is going to fee billions of dollars to do it. the only reason we went the 1st time replaced into to attempt to make the Russians look undesirable. See the US particularly wasn't that drawn to going to the moon till Russia sent a probe to the moon. Russia replaced into way forward in the "area race" for the entire beginning of it. They released a robotic to land on the moon at very nearly the same time we released a guy to land on the moon. They have been extra careful with their cosmonauts and did no longer decide directly to take possibilities that the US replaced into prepared to take. that's a stable element, when you consider that that robotic wound up crashing into the outdoors of the moon, and it hasn't been heard from when you consider that. The Russians at last did launch yet another robotic which amassed a great type of photos of things of the moon that we've in no way landed on. The Russian robotic additionally took photos of one of our landing websites. To have faith that we did no longer land on the moon, you will would desire to have faith the Russians have been happy with mendacity on behalf of the US, that all of the scientists and astronauts in touch have been "in on it".. hundreds of them... and none of them went public with the "actuality". it is not even pointing out that we left a reflect up there that replaced into used to degree the gap between the moon and earth with a laser, through unrelated scientists. it particularly is in basic terms no longer conceivable.

Not much of a case coming from conspiracy hobbyist.
Being SANE I cannot come up with a motive for the GIGANTIC MASS DECEPTION.
Flags and shadows aside....
Don't you think the U.S.S.R.(remember them?) would have let the cat out of the bag?
You can bet they gave the Moon Missions their full attention.
Or is the conspiracy so big that both the U.S and U.S.S.R were in on it?
