Is it true that man hasn't been to the moon?

Answer 1

No it is not true.

Before the conspiracy nuts write in saying otherwise, consider one very important fact: Thousands of people were involved in the moon missions, way too many to all have been "bought off." If the landing have never actually taken place, how many of those thousands do you think could really have kept the secret?

Answer 2

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 3

When you look at the moon shots of them landing on the moon it does look like a cheaply made video! Like it could be a fraud! But I don't think so. You have to look at how far our technology has advanced from the time when man first started flying.Look at the growth in aviation from the first plane to the space shuttle to satallies to space stations. Our science is expanding everyday, and our knowledge continues to grow! Now of course I don't know for sure! But I think it was possible that they went to the moon,and if they didn't it will come out one day!!

Answer 4

no. Refer to the Apollo program in the United States. This happened during the cold war. When Russia was competing with the United States for space firsts and domination. I think the Russians were watching the Americans very carefully. Of all the nations. Why wouldn't they have exposed this to the world first ? Because, It really happened.

Answer 5

24 billion dollars were spent.
An endless stream of astronauts; risking their lives.
The greatest technological accomplishment in history.
Done by a team of highly trained, dedicated, inspired people.
Supported at a time when their country was embroiled in a nasty, expensive, controversial war.
Done carefully and reasonably safely. All that travelled there came back.
We still feel the benefits of their research in everything from GPS, Satellite TV, and the computer you used to ask this question on.
Endless spin-offs, and tremendous intellectual impetus given to humanity.
And you doubt that it happened?

Answer 6

No, what is true is that the Americans have landed twelve men on the moon.

Answer 7

no, however there is a large conspiracy theory that says we have not.
but there is a working experiment on the moon that was placed there by man on the moon.

Answer 8

no...no man has been on moon....one eg: which all of us know is tht der was a pic given in the news paper of the astronomers with the american flag....the flag waves...howz is it possible....there is no air on moon...there wer many investigations done and a project has been made on this....they have issued some cd on this investigation....its really ineterstin the way they have proved tht man has not been on moon.....the name of the movie is "has man been on moon?"...its really ineterstin....in this they have showed tht there was a huge plan behind all this becz wen detectives wer made to investigate on the whole issue...each one of them wer killed....dun forget to get the cd...its really interestin..!

Answer 9

No, man has been to the moon.

Answer 10

No man. Rumour about NASA is sending men to moon again. lol....
