did neil armstrong really step on the moon?

Question

i heard it's fake

Answer 1

Its an age old confusion. No one is sure about it.
To me it looks like fake.

1. How can the flag be fluttering (!!) when there's no wind on the atmosphere free Moon?

2. One NASA picture from Apollo 11 is looking up at Neil Armstrong about to take his giant step for mankind. The photographer must have been lying on the planet surface. If Armstrong was the first man on the Moon, then who took the shot?

3. How can the flag be brightly lit when its side is to the light? And where, in all of these shots, are the stars?

Answer 2

America had the technology to send men to the moon. It did not at the time have the technology to fake the event. Signals from the moon were heard at the same time in lots of different places around the world. This could not have been easily faked. (It probably could be done easily now).

There is plenty of evidence that Neil Armstrong did in fact step on the moon. There are even still pieces of equipment which men brought to the moon and can be seen from earth - one is a small mirror device - like a cat's eye, it reflects back light from whatever direction you shine it. Scientists can shine a laser at it from earth and measure the time it takes to come back, allowing the exact distance of the moon from the earth to be measured continuously.

Answer 3

The number of gullible people we have in this country never ceases to amaze me. I mean, some of you people must lead very boring, drab, dreary lives to have to spice it up by believing in every conspiracy theory that comes along, especially this one!

I really love it when people use the tired old line of, "The flag was waving! How can it wave when we know there's no wind on the moon!" Well, genius, how do you know there's no wind on the moon UNLESS WE'VE BEEN THERE? Aside from that, if you take a closer look at the design of the flag you like to talk about, you'll see that there's a support bar across the top of the flag to hold it out from the pole. And just because there's no atmosphere on the moon doesn't mean that there's no motion; take another look at the video, and you'll see that the "waving" of the flag is simply the residual motion from the flag being planted. It moves for a few seconds, then stops.

And what genius said there's no gravity on the moon??? What were you, asleep during science class?

And to the bright boy who said something about the equipment being placed there by unmanned rockets, just how did we do that, skippy? How did our country come up with the technology in the 1960s to sucessfully land a remote-controlled craft on the moon, deploy, the equipment, and set it up without a hitch? And if you think we were capable of that, THEN WHY NOT JUST SEND A MAN UP THERE INSTEAD?

Logic and reasoning will blow holes in this particularly stupid conspiracy theory every time.

I pity you people who believe this crap, I really do.

Answer 4

No, I believe it was a fake, and to all the believers who mention about a mirror reflector being placed on the Moon so signals can be bounced off it from Earth (as the supposed evidence that NASA really went there), that could have been sent there some time before using an unmanned rocket. The main reason we have not and will never go to the Moon, is that "somebody" is already there and don't want us snooping around their neighbourhood !

Answer 5

Yeah, I think its fake too. I saw a program in star world about 2 years ago and it showed that there are some people who suspect that the whole mission was a movie made by nasa. They said when Apollo-11 launched for moon some kind of magnetic storm was going on around the sun which no human being can survive. When they were putting the USA-flag on the moon surface the flag was waving. We know that there is no wind in the moon. So, how come the flag was moving. I was very surprised to see that. They also showed some other proves that convinced me that the mission was fake. One of the people who suspect that the mission was fake said that if nasa can take pictures of the flag they put in the moon surface than he will believe that it was not fake. Take a look at the links below.

Answer 6

In 1969, Armstrong was commander of Apollo 11, the first manned lunar landing mission, and gained the distinction of being the first man to land a craft on the Moon and the first man to step on its surface.

Answer 7

You know, until now I had no idea that there are so many paranoid and credulous and easily manipulated people there are. So I guess you also don't believe that we sent the Rover to Mars and those are not Martian landscapes in the pictures? But I'm willing to bet most of you believe there's a UFO at Area 51. The human mind is fascinating!

Answer 8

historical fact, neil armstrong ,first man on the moon

Answer 9

Thousansd of people watched those hugely expensive Saturn V rockets blasting off from Cape Kennedy into space. Millions saw it on TV. If NASA built a whole fleet of Saturn V rockets just to shoot them into space for TV effect, why not go the extra baby step and actually use them to go to the moon? The conspiracy theories make no sense if you just think about them.

Answer 10

according to scientific and historical accounts, YES! but there's a lot who doubt the feat. only armstrong could really answer that.
