No, I don't think man has walked on the moon. I think the whole thing was a hoax. Why with all the technology we have today we don't do it NOW? Because we now have the things that would counteract their actions.

Putting it simply, Yes!!!
I watched all the missions to the Moon and I have no reason whatsoever to think they weren't real.
The principle known as "Occam's razor" essentially says that the simplest answer is probably correct.
So did the Apollo astronauts fly to the Moon in full view of the world, tracked by other countries including Russia; land there and set up reflectors that are being used today; and bring back samples that have been validated by bona fide scientists all over the world ... or did we fake the whole thing; put the astronauts into Earth orbit for a week although no-one detected their craft there and no-one saw it orbiting overhead in the night sky, and then let them splash down into the ocean to be picked up by the navy; produce thousands of photos and hours of film with a load of "mistakes" in them; manufacture rocks when we don't know how to; and secretly send reflectors to the Moon using unmanned craft that no-one saw being launched and no-one tracked???
And folks, please don't go on about the lack of stars. If you take photos on the Moon with an exposure of several seconds, the images would definitely show some stars, but Buzz Aldrin would look rather blurred and massively over-exposed! This is why they used exposures of aound 1/125 of a second - to correctly expose the real subject matter.
Before re-quoting so-called evidence, have a look at some of these websites first. Enjoy yourselves ...

America did not land on the Moon. We payed billions of dollars for the 360 foot Saturn 5 rocket so we could look at it and say wow that is a big rocket. We kept approx. 400,000 technicians, scientists and construction contractors quiet, with zero leaks to the public. The rocks that we thought that came from moon and have proved to be from the moon are really from the Pacific Ocean.
OTHER CONSPIRACIES TO THINK ABOUT:
1. We knew the Japanese were going to bomb Pearl Harbor before they did. I mean come-on President Roosevelt liked the thought of our boys baking inside the Battle Ship Arizona before they died. The President was looking for a better way to get a good nights sleep.
2. The Jews did not suffer in Germany because there was no Holocaust. Actually it was the Jews that was torturing the poor blond haired deprived Germans. Those tattoos on the Jews arms and hands that are still alive today (by the grace of God) are really there because they want to be hip.
3. The Mafia whacked JFK, via the Russian connection, via the Cuban connection.... The man on the grassy knoll was a CIA agent acting on orders from Giancana from Chicago and Marcello from New Orleans, with duplicity from Castro and Kruschev....true story.
4. Aliens landed in Roswell and we transported them to Area 51 to back engineer their technology, where do you think the stealth air craft came from? Again, we kept it secret by brain washing the thousands of workers who were in on the scam.
5. The Moon we see every night is really not there along with the planets, stars as well as the Planet Killing Asteroids. Those were put there by the evil United States to toy with our minds.
6. The fossils of homo eructus, neandertals and 15 other hominids that are extinct were put there by paleotologists, archeologists, and assorted rock hounds to enhance their careers. Creationism is the only reality.
7. America is a conspiracy and is a fake country and none of us Americans really live here.
8. I was never born so this response to your question is a fake.

Oy, gevalt! When is this ridiculous nonsense going to end? It seems a better question would be "why are there so many people who are so gullible that they will believe massive conspiracies involving hundreds of thousands of people and millions of dollars"? The U.S. has a terrible record of keeping secrets; how could this be? Why wouldn't at least one of those people now, after almost 30 years, confirm the hoax? What would they have to lose? BTW, I've met Neil Armstrong and I KNOW we went to the moon. And the only reason we don't go there now is a financial one. We are spending millions on sending probes to Mars and we just couldn't afford to do both. And you conspiracy nuts are the same people who would ***** and moan because NASA is spending too much money if we did that. What the hell is wrong with you people? Why don't you just grow up? Oh, I forgot....no one wants to grow up anymore. They just want to be adolescents for the rest of their lives.

YES,the question about no stars how many stars do you see in our day time sky? The moon is facing the sun and has the glare of earth on it. What chance of seeing stars.
And like someone said why get 3 astronauts killed for a movie.
The question is when are they going back.

I dont think they have because there are so many signs like the photographs that they brought back, there were images with the etchings on the lens behind object and also the quality of the photos were incredibaly good seeing how the cameras were mounted on there chest. Also when they stuck the flag into the moon it should have slumped down but it was blowing as if there was a breeze which there isn't on the moon but in a recording studio maybe?

Did you never as a kid hold your fingers against the window pane walk your fingers around the moon when it was full. I guess the moon has always held a fascination and hope that man will walk on the moon. And yes I think it has happened. No government could simulate such a thing and keep it quiet....could they?

Absolutely. The people who believe the conspiracy theories are nothing but imbeciles. Read 'Moon Dust' and then you could have a better education in the subject. Scarily, more children in the US now believe there have been no moon landings than believe it has happened. All because of some people trying to halt progress and make others live under the cloud of religion.

No - I don't think it - I KNOW that man has walked on the moon. There are some out there trying to change history - but you can't deny the truth :)

No. I believed they had for years ,I sat up and watched the' first' landing in 1969. I was 30 at the time, and wanted to believe. However, over the years, I have become more and more convinced that they never went there. The one thing that makes me so doubtful is that they can't get there now. They have trouble enough getting the shuttle into Earth orbit , so how could they have got there with the technology of the 60s ?
