How would you fake the moon landings?

Question

I and others are so sick of this stupid and ignorant hoax thing that seems to persist to excite feeble minds, that I might publish this every day on here.

Yes, it was just about feasible to film a fake moon landing in the 60s, but the concept of incorporating the created simulation in the systems at mission control so as to fool all those controllers for the several years of the moon missions is laughable. Anyone who thinks that is possible has not the vaguest idea of what it would take.

It would mean that the simulation would have to work perfectly in sync with the shots every second of the entire operation. One little blink in that, and the controllers would be onto it. They would literally see through the hoax in the first seconds of the first moonshot.

Also, when would this simulation get put into the systems? The controllers were there every day, 50 of them per shift; 150 over 3 shifts. How could the creators of this simulation ensure that there “system” would work perfectly all the time?

And which part is faked? The giant Saturn V took off. The stages broke away, and the burn was made to break Earth’s orbit and head to the moon. When did the simulation kick in? How could that be made so transparent that 50 controllers never notice that suddenly the real thing has become a simulation?

If you can anwer this sensibly, or find someone who has the expertise to answer this, I will give you some time. But other than that, give it up. The moonlandings were as real as Columbus sailing to America. The feat was fantastic,especially considering the era in which it was done. Everyone should be proud of a most stupendous event, not going out of their way to invent stupid conspiracies that fool millions of gullible and unknowledgable people.

Answer 1

The hoax theory piques my interest and has a lot of valid points, but in the long run it doesn't really hold water for me. Like you point out...the astronomical (no pun intended) feat it would take to have pulled it off is beyond comprehension. Also, I don't understand what the reason would be behind doing something like that. I DO have one question though....why have we not gone back?

Answer 2

Take it easy there buddy. I think you are raising your blood pressure.

You are probably really upset about the whole Noah's ark thing and the Jesus tomb. Calm down, take a nap and everything will feel better in the morning.

Peoples views are peoples views and just because they are not the same as yours does not make them feeble minded.

You assumed I believed that the Moon Landing was a hoax, nothing in my question suggested so. Never assume..well you know the rest.

I know you have a hard-on on this subject, after reviewing your posts, they all consist of the same question. All about the moon landing. What gives?

Good luck

Answer 3

Do you know how many positives there were when we landed on the moon. There are more reasons that I can say that the government would want to fake it. I personally think it is real with the whole NASA and space program, and I think it is scientifically possible. We were racing russia to the moon, and we had a lot to lose if we were second.

If you ever see the footage, there is a lack of star, and the flag blows, when there is NO AIR on the moon. There are also other discrepancies.

Answer 4

The only way I could see doing it would be to claim the video lead was damaged during flight then have your audio feed piped to another home where you could talk back and forth. The moon landing did happen in the 60's. To many people were involved to pull a end-around like that off.

Answer 5

"The moonlandings were as real as Columbus sailing to America"

hahaha, everyone knows that the sailing of Columbus was STAGED.

Answer 6

Just as we make a movie.
