why doesn't nasa react on the allegation regarding the apollo 11 false moon landing?

Question

if you search on fake moon landing, you would get lots of sites stating that the famous moon landing was staged. there are pictures to disprove the actual landing which according to them was impossible to achieve even at the present technology. I quote

Answer 1

For NASA to answer the allegations of faked moon landings would give those allegations legitimacy. NASA is doing the right think by brushing them off like insignificant dust that they are.

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

NASA scientists have responded and debunked the evidence used to prove man never landed on the moon. I was watching a documentary just the other day that covered much of the evidence, I can't recall the title.

Answer 3

Being a government run Agency, NASA will never accept the moon landing was a hoax to win the stupid race to the moon.
A person doesn't have to be an astronaut to determine that the film presented as a live moon landing is as fake as it can be. It's so amateur that it looks like a silent comedy featuring Laurel and Hardy or Charlie Chaplin. With today's high-tech special effects sci-fi movies could be considered more realistic.
The only way to find out if it was true or not is to go to the alleged landing site on the moon.

Answer 4

Wow, what intellect! I'm underwhelmed that you figured out the moon landings (..all seven of 'em..) were faked. Also, did you know that the moon itself is a NASA hoax, the Earth is flat, and Elvis is alive and well in Cleveland where he works in a donut shop?

Keep up the good work, dude (..or dude-ette..) -- science needs more high IQ folks like you.

Answer 5

If organizations responded to every online allegation, that's all they would have time to do. Anyway, many scientists have debunked the charges that the moon landing was staged. It's almost self-evident.

Answer 6

Why dignify a ridiculous, ludicrous allegation? There are no pictures that disprove the landing at all - just because someone posts a picture and SAYS it disproves something doesn't mean it DOES disprove it.

Gotta use yer noggin, just a little, for us, for yourself.

Answer 7

The scientific community doesn't deny that we landed on the moon and brought back rocks. Only the crackpots in this world deny it.

Answer 8

don't listen to those people why would any company go threw such funds to pay for a staged moon landing when it could be used elsewhere??? NASA is focusing on astronomy spacecraft aircraft and all that so people who deny that deny that you can't convince everyone

hope that helps

Answer 9

To react would be to give the crackpots legitimacy.

Answer 10

Do you really think they should react to every crackpot theory out there?
