I am beginning to doubt the Apollo 11 moon landing when I heard about the moon landing hoax on a cable channel, the reason is that you have to pass through a belt of radiation before you'll get to the moon, and this radiation is intense that is why no human can stand it (as ive heard from the show). The russians gave up the idea when they found out about this, but i guess it was all propaganda when the US announced that they will put a man on the moon. A mind game. It was pre-taped. I believe that the Russian Space Programs then were really good, better than the US space programs. If it were feasible, the russians would surely have been the first to figure out how to get to the moon. And why is the feat not followed by another moon landing even though the technology is more advanced now? Because it never happened in the first place.

No I don't, because those people who have an interest in it being a hoax are not denying it. The Soviets for instance did not insist it was a hoax, or put any big investigation into it not happening. It being a hoax would be great anti-American propaganda.
Also, the men who landed on the moon were not trained as spies and they seem to me to be honest men.
There's also a flat earth society, who claim that Magellan's round the world tour was a hoax. And there are people who deny the holocaust, and all sorts of revisionists who find evidence for lies.
It used to be called Sophistry, and coming up with nonsense and finding evidence to support it goes back to ancient Greece. Join a debate club at school and you'll learn some of the techniques.
It's just another conspiracy theory.

How could it be a hoax. If you get a good telescope you can see the space junk on the moon, so how did it get there. Don't fall for these conspiracy stories, they will have you believe all manner of things. Do you think the Americans wanted the Russians to believe they had reached the moon first so they could be ahead of them? I don't think that NASA have invested all that money, which is totally accountable to the American people for it all to be a hoax. Do you really think we are at war with Iraq, or is that just a hoax and they really take all the soldiers on a holiday somewhere and tell them not to say anything? People will believe whatever they want to believe regardless of the truth and the facts.

Apollo 11 did land b/c the science supports it, and science doesn't lie. Put it this way: lots of people work for NASA, people who get paid to be awesome in life. There's no way that one guy who had a desk job all his life and decided to write a book one day is gonna discover something those NASA guys haven't thought of already. Yes, it landed. To say it can't be done or wasn't done or was faked is to say that there aren't satellites orbiting the earth. Maybe theyre fake too!!!!! No wonder the rest of the world laughs at American education!!!!!
