Did man walk on the moon?

Question

I have beleived it all my life until my partner watched the documentart on how they proved that man hasn't been on the moon. What does everyone think??

People who have already answered questions like this dont have to be so rude, i was just curious and have never heard anyone elses opinions on the matter. Thanks to everyone who has answered... :)

Answer 1

Yes, it happened, and the documentary was incredibly specious. Please visit http://www.clavius.org for more information.

Answer 2

I will hazard a guess and say that the only means of getting a craft to travel at near light speed would be by nuclear fusion or even fission. It would be incredibly difficult to prevent an astronaut from the radiation of such a craft. All manned exploration of Space from Yuri Gagarins first orbits of the earth to Apollo 11 and betond has been achieved using chemical rockets, which do not cause radiation poisoning. And yes, we DID, as far as I can ascertan, land on the moon - I've read all the conspiracy books, seen all the TV documentarys been there and bought the T shirt, and I was very disappointed! Not a single theory stands up to scrutiny, and any moon hoax believers out there are welcome to present any new evidence that the landings were fake to me - I'd love to hear something unique, new and original that wont fall down in seconds flat!

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

Yes, once Pioneer 1 was launched in 1958 and reached 70,000 miles from earth, the problem of reaching the moon was 90% accomplished. It was only a matter of brute force or piling on of money to land men there 11 years later. My uncle worked for nasa as an engineer and I visited the cape as a kid during the Apollo missions. The amount of money spent on everything was incredible.
It's not impossible. It takes a lot of money and a lot of will. Convert the money spent into today's dollars and you'll see why it hasn't been done since.

Answer 5

Now, did your partner watch the documentary, or did you watch the documentary.First rule in life, don't believe everything you hear, or you will turn into a gullible person. Not only did man walk on the moon, but he also had a cool looking dune buggy to drive as well.

Answer 6

This question has been asked and answered thousands of times on this board..... once again....

bad science, make up a theory, find one fact to support it, ignore all the rest of the data, and say "see it's true".

good science, look at the data and create a theory to support the data. then test it.

your "documentary" that man did not walk on the moon was bad science. Someone created a theory to sell a story. found a controversial piece of data to support it (flag moving in the "breeze" on the moon), ignored the rest of the facts and says "see my theory is true!" = bad science.

why is that process bad, because anyone can "prove" anything that way....

did we walk on the moon? yes.

Answer 7

There`s talk of a cover up,but I do remember watching it with my Grandfather at the time & seeing some guys having a stroll on a rocky outpost? I suppose until we know different the answer is Yes they did,Humans however are more prone to mistakes than any other specie so the doubters among you,I suppose you are waiting to get your hands on some concrete evidence?I am fairly sure they did go it`s a long way to go when lives have been lost & try to pull the wool over one`s eyes.

Answer 8

Yes, Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.

Answer 9

I've been researching this topic for sometime now and my conclusion is, HELL NO!!! If we have been on the moon another way, I'm all ears. But, through the Apollo Space program, Horse manure! I've written about this a few times before, and talked to a couple of government insiders off the record, their conclusion--NO WAY! Why? Very simply the biggest obstacle is radiation of 3 types: The Van Allen Belts that encircle the earth, Solar Particle Events (solar flares) and Galactic Cosmic Radiation. The shielding of their spacecraft was completely inadequate to gamma radiation and other types also. Keep in mind that between 1971-1972 the sun was at a solar maximum and one of the worst flares ever recorded happened at that time. Are we to believe NASA can predict when such flaring can occur? No they can't and they admit it. However NASA would have us believe, that by the roll of the dice, it's okay to send the astronauts to the moon; Let alone being outside their Lunar Module walking on the surface of the moon unprotected, thus being exposed to solar radiation. NASA just goes beyond the pale.

Please do your own research and keep your mind open. Forget these turkeys above me. They have been properly programmed and refuse to look at the evidence at hand.

Answer 10

Almost certainly. Here's a link to an excellent article disproving the whole moon-landing-hoax theory:

And be sure and show this to your partner, and see what they think.

Answer 11

yes, 12 men walked on the moon.
