apollo 11 faked?

Question

does anybody know what the studio was called and where it was where they filmed all those fake videos

Answer 1

Must have been hard to reduce the gravity in that studio!

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

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 4

Definitely not faked.

1. They left some hand-placed equipment (mirrors etc) on the moon that has been used for experiments from earth, for example shining laser beams off the mirrors to measure some sort of physics stuff. So they must have been there.

2. Scientists have studied and learned from the rocks the astronauts brought back. None of these scientists have concluded that the rocks are fakes.

3. All of the conspiracy's claims have been debunked -- for example, take the moving flag. Try sticking a flag into the ground where there's no wind. It will move a little, right? just as there is no wind on the moon, neither is there air to slow down those movements. On the moon, where there is only a negligible atmosphere, those movements will be more noticable and they will keep going for a longer time. Plus, there is less gravity pulling the flag down and stopping it from waving. Anyway, if the whole thing was filmed on earth, it obviously wasn't filmed outside. Is there gonna be wind in a studio? All the other claims have been debunked too.

See the links below for more. Of course, if there's some proof of the conspiracy that these pages don't debunk, please tell us what it is so we can consider it!

but PLEASE don't blindly believe BS like this conspiracy theory. If you come in contact with ideas like this, MAKE SURE you look at BOTH sides!

Answer 5

It wasn't faked.

Stop wasting your time worrying about pure nonsense and get connected with the real world.

I personally know and worked with one of the Apollo astronauts. The company that I work for was one that ran analysis on moon rock samples. Many millions of dollars were spent and thousands of people were employed analyzing the samples and data returned from the lunar missions. This work went on for many years after the last mission to the moon. Our government IS pretty wasteful, but if the whole thing was faked, why would they have continued to spend that kind of effort way beyond what was needed for "publicity purposes"?

Bottom line - get a life !!

Answer 6

The studio was called "The Surface of the Moon" and none of the videos nor the landings were faked. Just because these people are too young to have participated in the lunar landings doesn't mean they didn't happen. Or..do you think World War II didn't happen, just because you weren't alive at the time?

Answer 7

The only thing which is fake is the credibility of the people who perpetuate these ridiculous conspiracy theories.
To fake all those scenes would have required more computer power than existed at the time. The computers back then were less powerful than a Palm Pilot now. They were using slide rulers and manual calculations (Calculators weren't available either) to figure out orbits.
It happened. Just accept it, or at least start questioning the conspiracy theorists a bit deeper.

Answer 8

None of the moon landings were faked. There were thousands of people involved in the Apollo programme. Don't you think one of them would have given some hard evidence if the whole think was a hoax?

Answer 9

They faked the videos, but because of the difficulty in simulating the reduced gravity and vacuum, the fakery was filmed on location.

The studio actually sent up a full size lander, actors to play the astronaut crew, makeup, costumers, best boy and key grip along with cinematographers and the director to the Sea of Tranquility.

Answer 10

ha ha ha - no - we were there

so sorry to break your bubble - -

my father in law cut the stones that came back - and he had to ship them to different universities around the US

he worked for the Bureau of Standards in Colorado

another uncle was one of the six men in Hunstville, Alabama
who designed the lunar rover

nope - my connections are too deep

we were there
