Did we really land on the moon?

Question

What evidence do you have?

Answer 1

I'm just going to cutnpast from now on.

Was the moon landing faked?

Oh yeah absolutely. Thousands of scientists worldwide (including the soviets) had to be in on the conspiracy. To this day, though, none has ever breathed a word of it. And everyone knows how good scientists are at keeping secrets. I mean the US kept the atomic bomb secret for just a few years (if that). But the moon landing hoax conspiracy has stayed airtight since the 60s.

Answer 2

Yes, we most certainly did. Check out my source - it will tell you everything that you could possibly want to know.

Other evidence:
1) the reflector left by Apollo 11, which has been detected thousands of times by astronomers
2) independent radio telescopes were able to track Apollo 11 as it landed on the Moon; this would not have been possible if there wasn't a ship on the Moon
3) geologists have *positively* identified the Moon rocks as being lunar in origin
4) not a single reputable scientist rejects the Moon landings; if there was something fishy about the landings, they'd be the first to pick up on it

Answer 3

Why would you need evidence for the moon landings? That is totally irrational.

It's like 50,000 people witness a murder and the defence lawyer stands up in court and says to the prosecution "what evidence do you have?"

With all these nutty conspiracy theories, they can be knocked down with pure basic logic that anyone who gives it any thought can work out.

For instance, the conspiracy theory that jet airliners were not flown into the towers by terrorists. Apart from the fact that thousands of New Yorker saw it, don't these idiot conspiracy people think why American and United Airline staff didn't stanbd up and say " hey, we haven't had any airliners go missing", or the air traffic controllers stand up and say "hey, no planes went off our radar".

For God's sake folks apply some thought. Hundreds of Mission controllers would have to have been duped (or paid off) for 3 years of Apollo. It is impossible that any simulation they could have filmed in the desert could fool these highly trained controllers, and for 3 years and 6 landings looking at the data on their screens, making them believe they were monitoring moon walks when it was just a bunch of movies and false data.

If that does not convince you, then nothing will, because you would rather believe ridiculous conspiracy theories than that in 1969-72 mankind embarked on the most exciting and fantastic exploration ever.

Answer 4

Well the fact we can launch a vehicle from Florida, which ends up in space, shows we can do it one way. I don't see what is stopping the vehicle doing it twice, especially as the moon has lower gravity so would need much less fuel

I really can't see the guys just floating around in space in orbit for a few days. They would be easily spottable with a telescope

We know it was hard to do, and was risky. Look at the state of Apollo 13 when it landed

Answer 5

yes we did have astronauts land on the moon. how do we know this? during one of the lunar missions a set of mirrors was placed on the lunar surface so that our scientists could experiment with lasers. that is how we found out that we are slowly losing our moon, by about 1 1/2" per year.

Answer 6

Yes. Evidence? I watched the whole thing live on television as did nearly everyone else on earth at the time.

Answer 7

If man had landed on the moon (at a cost of several billions of dollars) I am sure there would have been some sort of significant developments resulting from this feat. There has been nothing moon-wise. That leads me to believe the whole thing was faked just as in the movie "Capricorn One".

Answer 8

You did not. I did not.

Other people did.

There is plenty of evidence, but most of them are accessible only to sophisticated intelligence, and could be verified with sophisticated equipment.

If you doubt, you are most likely not amongst those that have the required background to make any enlightened ruling to this effect.

In another question, you stated that you believe god exists. What evidence do you have? And stating that the universe is there does not count. The presence of the universe is only evidence of the existence of the universe itself, not of something that made it; otherwise, the debate would have to move to "what made god".

Answer 9

Yes, by Neal Armstrong. And, the moon was actually formed from earth. I think that it was rock that broke off and got pulled together by gravity, then getting trapped in Earth's orbit.

Answer 10

Yes. We (as in the US space program) did it more than once, too.

Evidence? Well I have held the one of the rocks in my hand. I have met Harrison Schmidt. There's footage. There's tons of rocks. There's thousand of NASA employees who witnessed it.

Why would the government pay so much money to shut thousands of people up and spend so much time and money to fake moon landings? I can see maybe trying to say that if we only went once. But we went more than once. Why would you fake it twice, much less more than twice?
