Fake Landing of Apollo 11 on the moon!!!?

Question

I've heard that the landing on the moon of Apollo 11 was fake!!!Sources say that the moon has no gravity than why the flag was flying?????? Is it true??

Answer 1

It did happen the rumour iswrong ~~

Answer 2

Although my wife's father performed fuel calculations for the original Apollo landing, I'll spare you that speech. Instead, I will encourage you to watch two programs. The first show is called Conspiracy Moon Landing that it currently showing on the National Geographic Channel and it pretty much obliterates all of the popular conspiracy theories.

I would also encourage you to watch a movie called Capricorn One. Made it 1978, it is a fictional story about a fake mission to Mars. Although it is a science fiction story, it is a good example of how utterly impossible it would be to fake a moon landing for any length of time.

12 men walked on the moon from 1969 to 1972 and we have neither the resources nor the technology to pull off that big of a hoax for so long. Hundreds of thousands of people have worked on the space program. It would be far easier to put someone on the moon than to try and fake it and keep it secret for nearly 40 years.

The landings came at a time when our space program was ultra competitive with the former Soviet Union. Remember how big of a deal it was when Sputnik was put into orbit? They had the technology to monitor our moon shots and transmissions. Don't you think they would have called us out if they had evidence that it was all fake?

Perhaps the most definitive proof of our trip to the moon is what we left behind. For the last 35+ years, scientists have been beaming lasers to the moon and measuring the return times. How are they doing this? The beams are reflected back by equipment left on the moon on at 3 different locations.

Case closed.

Answer 3

Ok.

1) The moon has low gravity.
2) When you plant a flag, you have to move the pole in a twisting motion
3) Due to the lack of gravity, the flag doesn't fall down right away.

Ta da! A waving flag in low gravity.

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

Did you know that it would have cost more to fake the Moon landings than it would to actually go to the Moon?

Facts and Info about the Fake Moon Landing Hoax Conspiracy Theory

This web site examines the theories that suggest the NASA Apollo moon landings were faked. It hopes to prove, without any doubt, that these theories are wrong and a combination of a poor understanding of basic science and a desire to make a fast buck. Ultimately, however, you're going to have to reach your own decision.

Answer 5

no..and of course the moon has gravity...just not a lot. it has 1/6th the gravity we have, and gravity would have nothing to do with the flag fluttering anyway. When the astronauts landed on the moon, they left a mirror, that mirror is still used to bounce a laser off of to tell the distance the moon is from the earth.
