Technology is getting better and better!
I honestly feel as if we didn't land on the moon just because I'm a sucker for conspiracy theories and some of them are proven too well to make me think we did....I feel the United States period is full of lies to make our image something it isn't.

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 Armstrong on the steps? 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?

id say it didnt happenid sway more to rosswell happening and the americans covering that up and then thinking that maybe this alien lifeform somehow originated on the moon and was affraid that russia would get there first and have find more of the same and then have the technology, that they faked the lunar landing to stop the race to be first and to hide the truth, just incase there might be a man on the moon, we are human , we believe what can be proved without a doubt we can prove that the camera that was apparently used to take the onsite pix could not have operated in the extreme climates of the moon nor survived its radiation, come to think of it neither could the human body , would they all not have had radiation poisining, not sure about seening trax of landing though , is there not lunar winds?
could the trax not be covered up by now?.

This is a REALLY controversial topic. And I don't mean anything against the Americans when I say that I also don't think they landed on the moon. There are many reasons why they would have lied, like to match the Russians during the Cold War. There are many facts saying they did and there are many saying they didn't, but my FAVOURITE is the US flag waving on the moon (when there is NO ATMOSPHERE THERE!)

What is the question? Do you really doubt that men walked on the moon? Ask Neil Armstrong if he actually walked on the moon, or if Al Shepard's golf shot was a fake. Or read more about the goofy and stupid conspiracy theory that's been making the rounds since 2001.

Im not too sure about this, its a tough one. But i'm leaning toward faked landings, because the flag is blowing in the wind when in fact there is no wind on the moon

Some critics say it was staged and we never did land on the moon, but who knows.

sorry to spoil all of your fun. but there is proof they landed on the moon. they left a laser up there that is shot back at earth so that they could measure the difference between the two at all times. it's visible and still there.
maybe you can talk about the jfk conspiracy instead
