Is the american moon landing video true?

Question

some people say that the americans weren't the first ones to step on the moon and that the video is fake.

Answer 1

Yes. Americans went to the moon 10 times (Apollo 8 - 17), and landed 6 times (Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17), for a total of 12 American men actually walking on the moon.

Yes, the video is real. It was broadcast around the world live. I saw it live. The whole world was transfixed ... I know, I was living overseas, and never felt prouder of my country ... it was a crowning achivement for the U.S., but the whole world felt part of it.

Also 3 astronauts died in the project ... astronauts Grissom, White, and Chafee died in a fire in Apollo 1.

That's why it's not that funny when people deny their achievement.

Answer 2

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

The Americans did land on the Moon and the video is not fake. Nobody else has ever gone to the Moon, only the Americans, and they landed there 6 times. There is way more than a video or two. For example, there are several hundred pounds of Moon rocks in labs on Earth, mostly in Houston.

See the source for lots of details.

Answer 4

I saw a special on cable where several former Nasa employees proved that America fabricated the entire moon landing story because the pictures indicated shadows on the wrong side of the rocket and for other interesting reasons that most Americans do not know about. I would not be surprised that we have not yet stepped on the moon.

Answer 5

Yes. It is true. Ignore conspiracy when it comes to this issue. I am a conspiracy theorist, and after CLOSE examination of the matter, it has been determined that the Moon landing did in fact take place There are no military installations located on the dark side of the Moon, neither is there any reason to believe we did not set foot on our closest orbiting celestial phenomenon.

Answer 6

This question is coming back too many times.
There was not one but 14 or more Apollo missions to the moon. (The 13th is the one that failed and returned without landing because of a failure).
If they had been fake the Russians would have spread the news long ago during the cold war and not waited for a silly film to be produced.

Answer 7

that's a good question
because i ask people too
about that some people say we
were and others say it was the British
who landed on the moon first.
some people say it was a fake
the video is the only thing fake thats all
but we did land on the moon first

Answer 8

This is what humanity has become...

If 10.000 people tell you that they worked on the moon landing project... it is a conspiracy...

If 2 crackpots come on television and tell you that we did not land on the moon... it must be true. After all... your television would never lie to you.

Answer 9

Darn, I thought everyone knew that the moon itself is a NASA hoax. Also the Earth is flat, and Elvis is alive and well working in a donut shop in Cleveland.

Answer 10

America was the first. We went to the moon three times. If is was not true wouldn't Russia who was our enemy at the time have caught us in the lie?
