I did not think that we have been to the moon since the first time. i was told we have. Anyone know for fact?

Question

ya kno. this while debate is stuipd anyway, there were thousands of people that witnessed the rockets going into space. this is not argued. and escaping the earths gravity is the majority of the travel. once we get into space, going to the moon is nothing more than point and click. even now people go into space all the time. even a couple civilian's have. by 2010 there will be a colony on the moon. my pastors sun is part of the project.

in responce to mcollum83
first of all, there is gravity on the moon.
second, it does not take moisture to create a foot print, all it takes is dirt. just walk through a dry beach on your way to the water, lots of foot prints
3rd, with or without gravity, when a tire spins in dirt it will through off dirt, has nothing to do with gravity

oh, and it does NOT take alot of fuel to get to the moon, without gravity, air, and anything to cause friction, once an object starts moving through space it will not stop untill it runs into something, like an atmosphere. the greatest majority of the fuel and energy are used to escape the earths gravity. from there they use very very small thrusters.

Answer 1

There were six manned missions to Luna, Apollo XI,XII,XIV,XV, XVI, and XVII. Each time a two man team walked on the Moon's surface so 12 Humans have walked on the Moon, and yes it really happened, they left big mirrors on the Moon's surface that we can still shine laser beams on to this very day. It's a hyper accurate way of measuring the distance between the Earth and Moon.
The infamous "waving" flag clip is easily explained. Due to the fact that there is no wind, and only 1/6th the gravity of Earth, the flag was draped over a wire frame, which vibrated for a while after Neil jammed it into the rocky lunar surface.

Answer 2

In fact, there is very little debate.

Lately, some people have been trying to resurrect the idea that the lunar landings were a hoax. They used very poor understanding of physics (mostly optics and photography) to make up "contradictions" and problems.

There was a "documentary" aired on Fox-TV (February 2001) that pretended to show that the moon landings were faked. All the "proofs" that they presented have since been debunked.

So, yes, there were other moon landings after the first one (Appolo 11). However, all manned landings occurred during the Apollo program. The last manned landing was in December 1972 (Apollo 17). There have been no manned landings since.

PS: There is gravity on the Moon. An object on the Moon weighs 1/6 of what the same object would weigh on Earth.

PS #2: Note that the question does not pretend that the lunar landings were hoaxes. The asker asks if there were other landings after the first one (meaning: he accepts that we went there). Depending on what he means by "the first one" (Apollo 11 or the entire Apollo program?) the answer could be yes or no.
We have not had a human on the Moon since 1972.

References to the hoax are for those who still think that the hoax question is still worth discussing (it is not, except as an excuse to explain how things work in space and on the Moon).

Answer 3

Nobody would know for a fact, except the people at Nasa that either organized the departure, or that hid the truth. I agree that it's a little sketchy. There are a lot of parts of the video of men in space is a little questionable. It looks like a movie set with a back drop. And when they drive their little vehicle, the dirt flies much like it does on earth...which is questionable since they don't have gravity. A lot of people also question how a footprint could be left, if there is no moisture on the moon. I just don't have an opinion on the subject I guess. It would be quite a conspiracy if it was a lie...but who knows. The thing that bothers me is that that must be a lot of fuel to get them out there!

Answer 4

People have been on the moon more than once. You might have heard a rumour that the first moon landing was fake because there was some video clip that shows the flag was moving, but there's no gravity in space!

Answer 5

As for the 'flag blowing in the non-existant wind'. I have seen the video, it's those who have only seen the picture that believe that's evidence of a hoax. The video shows clearly that it is not blowing by any kind of wind and is simply being held out artificialy.

I love conspiracy theorys, but I've never seen any evidence of a hoax that doesn't have a perfectly rational explination.

Answer 6

My personal favorite "proof" that all SEVEN (..not six..) of the lunar landings were faked is the flag is shown waving on the lunar surface. The number of morons who buy into this "proof" boggles the mind. I guess it's just easier to swallow a load of pure crap than to expend a little mental effort to learn some basic science.

Answer 7

For crying out loud.


WE WENT TO THE MOON.

next time check the FAQ. This gets asked in here like every ten minutes.

All the "EVIDENCE" that we didn't go has been more thoroughly debunked than "the earth is flat." Look it up on the internet,

Answer 8

There is huge government cover up. They say we have, and after I saw the FOX special I say we haven't. Very strange that man has landed on the moon and yet we haven't been back?

Answer 9

There's alot of debate about whether someone has really landed on the moon or not. I think I read somewhere that in the video of Neil Armstrong on the moon the flag was blowing in the wind, but that that would be impossible because there IS no wind on the moon.

Answer 10

So if you have the answers (as per your additional comments), why ask the question. Or was it to see who would say what about this.
