Did we land on the moon or not?

Question

Seriously.

Answer 1

Depends on who you're referring to as "we". I certainly didn't. Are you Neil Armstrong?

Answer 2

Yes, and it can be proved without resorting to lander photos or anything like that. Astronauts left a retroreflector device on the moon, allowing laser beams from the Earth to be reflected back to the Earth. Without the retroreflector, the laser beams would not have enough brightness to make the round trip, as most of the energy would be absorbed when the laser beam hit the moon's surface.

So, we can demonstrate that the reflector is there. How could it have gotten there if not for the astronauts?

Answer 3

I would find it much harder to believe that a fake moon landing could be covered up than that they actually went to the moon. Plus, there's all of the other evidence. Yes.

Answer 4

We did...seriously.

Why would anyone fake it? How would it be possible for the US government, which cannot keep anything a secret, to keep the hundreds if not thousands of people involved in such a fake quiet for 38 years? There were thousands of people working for NASA at the time of the moon landings. Not ONE of them says it was a fake.

Apart from that, the technology required to pull of such an elaborate fake would be nearly as complex as that required to land on the moon.

Answer 5

Yes we went to the moon, and we brought back moon rocks which are nothing like the rocks on earth.

There are quite a few good websites with refute argument by argument the claims of those who said we did not land on the moon. The best is

but it takes some careful reading. It is not dumbed down. It is the real stuff.

A light and "airy" website which is easier to read is at

Another good one is

But in the end, people will make up their mind based on their preconceptions, their attitude toward progress, and whatever the benefit they might receive from believing or not believing.

Answer 6

Some would like you to think we didn't, that it is a hoax. It is pretty obvious that we have for a lot of reasons too numberous to give. There is always someone who will try to convince you otherwise, they also say the Holocaust never happened. Don't be duped, they both happened. And I'm sorry to say this, but Elvis really did pass on.

Answer 7

Yes we did.
Forget about that "moonlanding was staged" bilgewater.
Don't you think the Soviets were monitoring every aspect of the mission?
As well as other interested countries.
Radio amateurs.
Hobbyists with communications equipment.
All kinds of people.....eyeballing everything they could.

The Moon Landing was technical showing off.
Nothing secret or staged about it.

Answer 8

Of course we did. The whole story that says we didn't was started by the Flat Earth Society. They saw photos of a round earth and argued that it was all done in a studio to save face. Then that great news source Fox TV did a tongue in cheek "documentary" on the story and the gullible conspiracy lovers latched on to it. If you believe we didn't land there, your society awaits you.

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

Yes we did land on the Moon.

Seriously.

The FOX TV program saying it was fake was made by a fringe group that has no clue.

Answer 11

And mi answer is another question....
How can you ask that???!!!

Of course, we did.

It would need a lot of thinking minds to scheme that moon landing like it were a fake one.... did not??
