What if the gov. didn't fake the moon landing but fake the date to sound more patriotic?

Question

the timing just seem too "perfect" and maybe the "real date" was less newsworthy. Just goofing off please dont take my question seriously if you dont like it just skip the question there's no need for name calling when its clearly a joke. (just relax) I will never put my real views online.

Answer 1

Thanks for the 2 points...

Answer 2

Although my wife's father performed fuel calculations for the original Apollo landing, I'll spare you that speech. Instead, I will encourage you to watch two programs. The first show is called Conspiracy Moon Landing that it currently showing on the National Geographic Channel and it pretty much obliterates all of the popular conspiracy theories.

I would also encourage you to watch a movie called Capricorn One. Made it 1978, it is a fictional story about a fake mission to Mars. Although it is a science fiction story, it is a good example of how utterly impossible it would be to fake a moon landing for any length of time.

12 men walked on the moon from 1969 to 1972 and we have neither the resources nor the technology to pull off that big of a hoax for so long. Hundreds of thousands of people have worked on the space program. It would be far easier to put someone on the moon than to try and fake it and keep it secret for nearly 40 years.

The landings came at a time when our space program was ultra competitive with the former Soviet Union. Remember how big of a deal it was when Sputnik was put into orbit? They had the technology to monitor our moon shots and transmissions. Don't you think they would have called us out if they had evidence that it was all fake?

Perhaps the most definitive proof of our trip to the moon is what we left behind. For the last 35+ years, scientists have been beaming lasers to the moon and measuring the return times. How are they doing this? The beams are reflected back by equipment left on the moon on at 3 different locations.

Case closed.

Answer 3

What's patriotic about July 20, 1969? What's not newsworthy about man landing on the moon? How can you possibly make something like that LESS newsworthy? And why would you question the landing to begin with? We've got craft floating all over the galaxy, landing on asteroids and Mars, but you're thinking conspiracy?

Answer 4

It is actually not a bad question. I think it is possible that the government could have faked the moon landing date and instead of showing it "live", could have shown it previously recorded. How would the viewers know the difference? They wouldn't. The media is known to distort the truth.... Hmmmmm... Good question...

I guess if the government did fake the moon landing it would mean the government has WAY TOO MUCH money. For they would have to of paid alot of money to NASA employees and the astronauts to keep that fake landing date a secret!!

Answer 5

The date of the first moon landing was July 20, 1969.

July 20 is not an American holiday or anything, so why would a moon landing on that date be "patriotic"?

.

Answer 6

You are joking, but when they landed on the moon i was 17 and one old man about 75 swore up and down it was fake. Of course he was born in1894 and grew up still during the horse and buggy days.

Answer 7

People walked on the moon? Damn, being a supernatural tentacled pirate in the 18th century must have kept me out of touch....

Answer 8

It's possible.

But not likely.

The US government can't keep anything secret. How would they be able to cover up the moon landing?

Answer 9

Then go away, some of us take this more seriously.

Answer 10

aaaaand maybe 9/11 was a bizarre coincidence...

Answer 11

:-P and also, they lost the tapes! What's up with that!? XD
