Did man really landed on the moon?

Answer 1

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

Yes, man really did landed on Moon. There WAS a second approach. And a third, which failed. And a fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh, which landed. We not have go to Moon since 1972 because there not have been much reason to. We stopped going because the public got tired of seeing yet another couple guys running around on the Moon, so the budget was cut very severely. NASA didn't build the equipment we used to go to the Moon--that was done by contractors, who threw away the plans and retooled the equipment after the lunar landings. So now NASA has to reverse-engineer the old stuff or build new things from scratch. It's doing a little of both now for the Constellation Program.

Answer 3

Yes, Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon, July 20, 1969 from the Apollo 11 space flight.

Here is good video from the landing.

It really happened.

Space the final frontier really did and does exist.

Answer 4

Yes! United States men landed on the moon. You can look on the internet for the answer.

Answer 5

Yes, unless there is a major, worldwide conspiracy, man landed on the moon. It was an Apollo flight that did it.

Answer 6

He has by now, but if you're asking about America's first man landing on the moon- there are many controveries that you can probably look up. For many people, America did land on the moon first and Neil Armstrong was the first man to do it.

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

yes -- neil armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon

Answer 9

Yes, but there is a conspiracy that says we didn't though, but I think conspiracy theorists are people with no lives. I g2g buy some doughnuts from Elvis now!

Answer 10

There's no such thing as the moon. It's a NASA hoax. Also, the Earth is flat, and Elvis is alive and working in a donut shop in Cleveland.
