This is the same nonsense as all the theories about aliens building the pyramids. Stories made up by ignorant and uneducated people who simply cannot conceive that humans can accomplish truly remarkable things.

why do so many people still think that it wasn't a hoax?
I lived through that time.
how sure can you be?
You have too much respect for the abilities of our government to keep a secret. The USA had a competition going on at that time with the Soviet Union and if there had been any chance that the moon landing had been faked the Soviet Union would have taken advantage of the opportunity to bring up a lie by the USA. Going to the moon was well within the abilities of the USA. The launches were all announced well in advance and some actually took place on time. Hundreds of thousands of people watched the launches live. Probably an equal number people worked on building the parts that went into the Saturn V rockets and Apollo capsules.
Why isn't NASA taking any legal action against these sites???
Conspiracy complex is not an illegal act.

Get this straight and don't be foolish about it any more, okay? The basic technology required for a manned flight to the moon was developed in Germany in the late 1930s through the mid 1940s. This technology needed a lot of refinement to make a safe manned flight a reality.
We worked on that technology through the 1950s and 60s, and made the first manned moon flight in 1969. It all fits together, and if you read all the history and don't let the wackos lie to you, it will be impossible for you to continue to be fooled into believing that the moon missions did not take place.
The American people were much better educated and more intelligent in the 1960s and 70s than they are now, and it would never have occurred to NASA engineers and managers that 35 years later a bunch of ignorant dolts with nothing to do would come up with a stupid conspiracy theory stating that the moon landings were faked.
If that had occurred to them, I suspect the engineers would have gone to the trouble to create a larger and more visible object of proof, to compensate for the decline in the quality of the American mind and its education that occurred during and after the Reagan presidency.
But there is a real physical proof available. The astronauts who landed on the moon left behind reflectors that are used every day by astronomers to measure the irregularities of the moon's orbit. This is done by bouncing laser beams off reflectors at known locations that were left by the astronauts. Ask your science teacher for information about these experiments. You can arrange to see this done with your own eyes.
Let me put the question to you this way: If you think the moon landings were faked, when did they become "fake?" When did the idea become popular that NASA had invented the idea of an imaginary moon mission and created a huge technological empire to fool people? When was all this fakery done? In the 60s? 70s? 80s?
And why? What was the point? And how did they fool all the people that reported the news, operated the machinery, built the moon rockets, and watched them take off and land?
Do you realize that one American in 500 was a part of the Apollo program? Millions of them are still alive. Are they fooling you? Why? If you go out to a football game, look around you. In the stadium there are people who worked on the Apollo program.
Ask around. You are surrounded by people who know for sure that American astronauts stood on the moon more than 35 years ago.

All of the evidence that "proves" there never was a moon landing can all be refuted. Every one of the claims against the lunar landing has been tested and disproved. The shadows? The changing terrain and the light source from the lunar module explain the converging shadows. The flag? The flag moves the way it does because there is no gravity to lessen the movement of the flag like there is here on earth. No stars in the pictures? The lighting and camera. I can go on and on but I have forgotten most of the issues but I know they have been tested and proved that there was indeed a lunar landing. They can even pick up a signal from some of the equipment they left there. I don't remeber exactly what it is but there's something there. If we didn't land how did it get there?
One of the biggest pieces of evidence that we DID land is that we were heavily monitored by other competitive nations. Had there been any kind of doubt that we didn't land on the moon, the Russians would have found it and brought it up immediately. They didn't.

Though it contains a question mark, "neil armstrong DID NOT go to the moon !? " is NOT a question.
You got this from looking at a few websites? The real question is, why are you so easily convinced?
I wonder how old you are. Young, I'll bet.....young enough not to remember when it happened. I was a science nerd and fascinated by the whole thing. I followed it very, very closely and it took years to happen. To do it as a hoax would actually be harder.
And if you think that this could be done as a hoax, and nobody, not one person came forward about it in forty years, then you must be very, very, very stupid indeed.
Why don't you try and walk to the moon then.

If Neil Armstrong landed on the moon then why has no-one else landed on the moon considering the fact that. Why became into the yank flag fluttering as though in a powerful breeze as there is not any wind in area!!! additionally while they landed on the 2nd internet site why did it look precisely the comparable simply by fact the 1st with precisely the comparable rock formations in precisely the comparable place. additionally the lunar module while commencing might have made a huge crater from the thrusters and there became into no longer something. I even have yet to detect any genuine data that they did land on the moon,there is definately extra data to back up the concept that they did no longer land on the moon. for my section i think of he has been advised to maintain quiet.different astronaughts that have been curiously going to "spill the beans" have been killed in a suspicious hearth on between here missions simply by a defective hatch that became into later checked to be working ok....i will't blame Neil for conserving quiet!!!

Why didn't the lander kick up more dust and leave a crater? Because it only weighed one-sixth what it weighed on the earth.
Why did the rover appear to be throwing up clouds of dust from its wheels? Because gravity is only one-sixth that of Earth and dust settles much more slowly.
Why weren't clouds of vapor thrown up when the lander took off, like when a ship is launched from the Earth? Because it wasn't sitting on a launch pad being sprayed with thousands of gallons of water to protect it from the blast. Also, the vapor as it goes up expands much more rapidly in a vacuum and can't condense as it does in Earth's atmosphere. Oh, yeah--and since the gravity is only one-sixth that of Earth, it doesn't take that much effort to launch.
NASA takes no action against these sites because they probably get a real hoot out of watching these people make fools of themselves. Plus, it's not worth the effort.
Why don't you join the young earth people while you're at it?

Believe me, Neil DID go to the moon! The astronauts set up laser reflectors so that NASA can shoot a laser beam from the Earth to the Moon and back.

Most people know Neil Armstrong dod go to the moon. But then, most people are intelligent enough to get their history and science from bona-fide sources, not from the delusions of fantasy theorists. BTW--I have this bridge in Brooklyn i can make you a real good deal on.

Saying that we did not go to the moon is the same as saying the the Nazis didn't exterminate Jews in death camps during world war II. People can try to say all kinds of things like this, but when you look behind the curtains*, there is always a little man (or woman) trying to make themselves appear more formidable then they really are!
