there are false claims on walking on the moon is this true?

Question

did man realy step foot on the moon? faqs now saying that it is impossible because space has no gravity.... and that there shoes keeped there feet on the surface because ov the led in theres boots??( But there air craft was not heavy anough to touch surface ) Could this be true??.......

Answer 1

Please don't fall for this non-sense.

Here is the breakdown of your questions:

Space has no gravity :True but useless...
Space is the absence of everything. So you were told that nothing has no gravity... Fine.. True
The moon is not nothing. The moon is not "space". Everything that has mass has gravity. Gravity is a "weak" force. It take huge amounts of mass (like a planet) to register even a tiny amount of force. Fortunately, the moon definitely qualifies as having a huge amount of mass. The moon has significant gravity.

Led (Lead) in shoes: False
It wouldn't matter what was in the shoes or if they didn't ware shoes at all, they would still fall (walk) on the moon. They just fall more slowly. There are no such things as gravity boots.

Aircraft not heavy enough? :False
The Spacecraft (LEM) not an air craft, was plenty heavy enough. In fact every effort was made to keep it as light as possible. Ultra thin skin, small fuel margins and a two stage Lander. In fact we can be enormously thankful that gravity on the moon is much weaker than on earth, and that the LEM was so lightweight. Haven't you ever noticed what a large and difficult task it is to launch men and machines into space. Huge rockets, Millions of Tons of Fuel, Hundreds of Men, launch towers. We had none of this on the moon. How the heck did we get back? The moon has only 1/6 the gravity of the Earth and no air (no air resistance). Keeping the Lunar Lander lightweight was essential to lifting off the surface of the moon.

If you do more searching, you will find even more people and supposed reasons that man did not reach the moon and faked the landings. Just know, that for each of these reasons there are answers. Each one of these moon conspiracies is made up and can be explained. I and those like me will be here to explain away each and every bit of lies that have been told to you.

Hoping to return to the moon someday...

P.S. I just noticed this is on Australia’s yahoo answers, your country played a proud roll in the Apollo program. Your dish relay received the very first images of man on the moon. And you successfully relayed and received them under very trying circumstances. Be proud of your country's contribution to one of the most significant accomplishments of all man kind.

Answer 2

Really, if people only read a little more to understand just the basic physics these kinds of questions wouldn't be asked.

On the moon there IS gravity, its only one-sixth that on earth but its there - any object with significant mass has gravity.
So there goes your first statement.

They didn't fly an aircraft, they landed on a rocket-powered 'lander' that touched down on the surface (with the 2 astronauts inside). When they left, part of the craft detached to leave the lander section (which was out of fuel) behind.
So there goes your second statement.

Men first landed on the moon in July 1969 - I saw it, millions of others saw it, thousands of technicians and scientists were involved in the space program for years before the first landing. There were a total of 6 manned landings on the moon, the last Apollo 17 in 1972.

Answer 3

so what if space has no gravity, everything in the universe has gravity. you have gravity, the atoms that make you have gravity. if you walk on the moon it is basically being on earth but with no atmosphere and 1/8 the gravity i believe.

the people that say this are the same people that will believe whatever they put in the national inquierer because they want to be different. how can they explain the moon rocks, the dropping of the hammer at the same speed as a feather, they cant. they will say that they were tethered. well the feather wasnt waving in the wind, it was stiff. we went to the moon, case closed.

Answer 4

If the solar have been .a million % warmer, existence could not exist. If we've been closer to the solar, we'd burn rapidly. If we've been farther from the solar, we'd freeze to demise. All 3 are fake. The output of the solar varies quite continuously. the area to the solar varies continuously with the aid of fact the orbit of the Earth is an ellipse, not a circle. the ambience is composed of 20.ninety 3% oxygen on a dry foundation. human beings are fairly delicate with oxygen contents all the way down to 18% as long as no super actual workout is mandatory. Likewise, human beings at sea point adventure a denser environment than those living between mountains. Passenger airplane are often pressurised to a element comparable to 5 to 7 thousand ft above sea point. A small replace to the dimensions of the Moon would not make plenty distinction. Mars is plenty smaller than the Earth yet has a skinny environment. The presence of an atmosphere has as plenty to do with magnetic fields struggling with the photograph voltaic wind blowing the ambience away than the gravity of the planet, although the two are patently significant. If the Earth replaced right into a sprint larger, hydrogen could be extra person-friendly interior the ambience yet not plenty. And that is not poisonous. Hydrogen won't be able to be detected interior the ambience with the aid of ordinary techniques of learn, i comprehend, I spent 13 years as a gas analyst. A marginal strengthen interior the mass of the Earth might make in simple terms approximately no distinction, in all probability none. The concentration of hydrochloric acid interior the tummy is definitely fairly low yet varies in accordance to once you devour. with the aid of fact it particularly is low to start up with, an absolute strengthen of 0.25% could be an extremely super one. A relative strengthen of 0.25% could be interior the familiar variety. as properly, hydrochloric acid is the least unfavourable to tissue of the three person-friendly reliable mineral acids. almost all mammals and birds perform at different physique temperatures. For some reason, ant eaters of any style tend to have decrease physique temperatures than mammals on different diets. As for something, no remark. lookup the "anthropic theory" a while.

Answer 5

Everything in the entire universe has gravity. Including the moon, it has 1/6 gravity of earths, so therefor making it possible to land on the moon. The lunar module weighed in at 32,399 lbs. Put that in 1/6 gravity, and you get 5, 399.833 lbs. I think that would be quite heavy, and capable to land. And why would NASA pay for the Mercury, Gemini, and part of Apollo, and never set foot on the moon. It would be stupid, like the person who came up with that conspiracy...

Answer 6

Sigh...damn conspiracy theorists....

1. Gravity exists on the moon, in space you are weightless and experience no gravity because you are not in a gravitational field.
2. Since the moon has gravity, man and spacecraft can land on it. The moon has a mass, therefore it must have gravity. The men and spacecraft had mass and so would be attracted to the surface of the moon.

Anymore conspiracy rubbish? Any that you come up with search on this site and you will find the definative counter argument. (grumble grumble)

Answer 7

Oh come ON!

There is gravity on the Moon. The Moon's gravity is 1/6 of Earth's. I thought every 5th grader knew that. And there is gravity everywhere in space. Gravity keeps the Moon orbiting the Earth, Earth orbiting the Sun and the Sun orbiting the Milky Way galaxy. Gravity exists EVERYWHERE.

Answer 8

Sure, and the earth is flat and you had better watch out so that you don't drop off the edge, and be sure to watch out for the sea monsters in the ocean.


YES men were on the moon. The gravity is less on the moon but it is there the craft did land. Walking was different and more difficult than on Earth. OK?

Answer 9

No thruth to those claims. The moon has gravity just not as much as earth (16.5%). It makes walking around difficult but not impossible. The astronauts learned, during mobility tests on the surface, to hop like kangaroos because walking wasn´t the same as on earth. Take a look at Buzz Aldrin doing his best Benny Hill impression during those very mobility tests!

Answer 10

I grew up near Cape Canaveral and we went to the Space Center many times. I watched liftoffs and toured the buildings and grounds where everything was done. I cannot imagine spending that much money on something as a hoax. Yes, we were there and it was real. I also happened to be alive when it was broadcast on TV and anyone who thinks it's a hoax was probably born after that.
