Who believes that people actually landed on the moon.?

Question

We don't actually have any REAL unstaged proof. What's to say we did. Neil Armstrong could have been at home eating nachos or something.

Answer 1

Armstrong he said he saw a UFO flying around him while there on the moon,if he was actually there.,the aliens haven't let us out of the earths orbit since 1974, only a few crafts not maned, when they get to mars most disappear,but i do believe they may not have actually gone there, its possible the way the feds lie to us all the time. no, its very possible we didn't go to the moon.
I SAW a large silver saucer shaped craft one day 34 years ago.hovering right above a building ,it was a craft not a damn balloon are something, i know this as fact, it WAS a space craft,it gave off no emmissions, it just hovered there,there no way that was man made,we need to be aware that there here.because there not here just sightseeing.there up to something.

Answer 2

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 3

The stars weren't seen simply because the iris of the cameras were stopped down to prevent glare from the sun directly and from the surface of the moon.

The websites are all crap, based on no knowledge of photographic principles, gravity, hydraulics, rocket power, and so on.

Those who believe we did not go to the moon must also believe WW II didn't happen, we didn't drop nuclear (yes, nuclear) bombs on Japan, the Easter Bunny, and Tooth Fairy are real.

The Saturn V rocket was originally conceived as a four-engined monster. It would have taken two to get to the moon. But designers soon realized that a fifth engine, in the center of the cluster, would prevent heat from the other four engines from burning up the center of the cluster, and then realized the addition of a fifth engine would make a single launch to the moon possible.

It would have cost more to fake the moon landing films than it did to land on the moon. Extensive, expensive, untried special effects would have been required. Films taken from non-USA, non-NASA telescopes have photographs of the LM-CM en route to the moon, and photographed the Apollo 13 incident (at least the debris cloud).

I suggest you research the Apollo Program, take a course in photography and astronomy, and go to a mall after dark on a clear light and, with the lights shining in your eyes, try to photograph stars with an automatic camera. Then remember that the lights at a mall are but a few percent of the brightness of the sun.

Also, study the behaviour of particulate material in a vacuum. You will find that dust, when kicked up by the boots of an astronaut, will travel outward in a parabolic type (or maybe catenary) path, just as seen in the Apollo films.

Then I suggest you turn your skepticism toward something worth being skeptical about, such as Creationism and Global Warming being cause solely by human activities.

Answer 4

By the same standard, we don't actually have any real proof that Florida made it into the NCAA's Final Four this year either; all those people who produce television shows, publish newspapers, and blog about sports could be part of a vast conspiracy to make the rest of the country believe that it did. I'm willing to believe it, however, because it's simpler to explain all the television shows, radio announcements, newspaper articles, and sports blogs by assuming that Florida defeated Oregon than by assuming that tens of thousands of people were in some sort of conspiracy.

Likewise, it's simpler to explain all the television shows, newspaper articles, radio transmissions, books, and speeches (by Neil Armstrong and the others) by assuming that six American spacecraft landed on the moon than by assuming that thousands of people were in some sort of conspiracy and kept silence for 35 years.

Answer 5

In 1969, at the height of the cold war, the Russians believed it - and that's solid, verifiable and valid proof.
They monitored the radio transmissions and tracked the flight - and if there were any discrepancies what so ever as to where the transmissions originated, the Russians would have blasted the news all over the globe - instantly.

Answer 6

there is overwhelming evidence that man landed on the moon. while people have debated and will continue to debate the merits relative to whether or not it actually occurred, the fact is that our lives have all been measurably improved by the scientific leaps of the space program.

so indeed, it was "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."


the links below are about the moon landing and also about the space spin-offs that benefit us all.

I realize that this won't convince you. But at least you have the links.

Who's to say you exist? We have no proof?

Answer 7

the russinas believe it and we were competing with them in the race to the moon,do you really think if they had any idea we faked it, they wouldn't say anything?

there are a couple scientists that still do tests on the moon, from the experiment's that were put there in 1969

there is real proof, and if a few countries saying it's true isn't good enough, than what will be?

Answer 8

What's to say we did?

Experiments left behind are illuminated by lazer frequently. Without these reflectors on the moon, the experiments would fail.

Who is to say we did not? Certainly the Soviet Space program would have had a vested interest in proving some ridiculous conspriacy theory.

Answer 9

What's to say that you are not just a figment of my imagination? That you really aren't a person on the other side of that question, that the question assembled itself randomly just to irk me?

No matter what evidence you give to me, I will refuse to believe otherwise. Even if you tracked me down and beat the tar out of me in a back alley, I still won't believe that the person who beat me up is the person who wrote this.

You would be surprised how easy it is to have faith in the non-existence of something, especially if you stoutly refuse to check the facts.

Answer 10

People with educations and intelligence know men landed on the moon. The uninformed opinions of the rest are irrelevant. Matters of fact are not decided by opinion--and certainly not by the opinions of conspiracy theorists.
