How many believe that we never made it to the moon?

Question

My boyfriend is driving me crazy. He says the US never made it the moon. That it was all a hoax. I just wondered how many others believe this way.

Answer 1

Your boyfriend is not the only very very stupid man around.
Look for terrestrial intelligence and let go you boyfriend

The list of 118 very stupid Yahoo-Answer members is helpful. I will not answer any questions asked by them. Unless they learn something and renounce their stupid belief.

Answer 3

A few thousands.
Mostly English speaking people.
It all goes back to some misinterpretation of (yet another) English translation of the Bible, whereby the Earth must be flat. If the Earth is flat, then it is impossible to send spacecrafts in orbit "around" Earth. Therefore, impossible to go to the Moon.

Someone made a so-called "documentary" pointing out "mistakes" (which were easily refuted) and got FOX-TV to air it.

---

Up until that year, the Soviets were way ahead in the space race. First satellite, first man in space, first woman in space, first pictures of the other side of the Moon, first soft landing on the Moon (unmanned). And they had a program to send humans to the Moon.

When the Americans landed on the Moon, their radio communications were heard by anyone on Earth with the proper equipment (including the Soviets). And they could tell the direction of the signal source.
(The first person to be able to tell the direction of radio signals from space was Jensky, in 1932 -- radio direction finding was created in the early 1900's so this was not some secret technology).

The Soviets and the Americans were not the best of friends at the time. Therefore, if the signals had come from some studio on Earth, the Soviets would have been the first to tell the world that the American lunar landing was fake.

The Soviet lander left a laser reflector on the Moon. The Appolo missions also left laser reflectors on the Moon. Nowadays, we routinely measure the distance to the Moon by shining lasers through specialised telescopes: the light hits the laser reflectors -- exactly where we expect them to be -- and comes back to the detectors.

Therefore, we know that someone went there and left laser reflectors.

Answer 4

It would drive me crazy, too. You should give him these facts, which conclusively show that we went to the Moon.
1) Apollo 11 left a laser reflector on the Moon, which has been detected thousands of times by astronomers. It is used to precisely measure the distance to the Moon.
2) Independent radio telescopes were able to monitor the ship-to-Earth transmissions from the Apollo missions. If there hadn't been a ship on the Moon, this would not have been possible.
3) The Moon rocks have been confirmed to be lunar in origin. Scientists have determined that the conditions under which these rocks formed can only be found on the Moon. These rocks can't be faked, either.
4) Why is it that no scientist rejects the landings? If there were something fishy, would it not be scientists who would pick up on it? Instead, scientists vigorously defend the landings.

There's no evidence whatsoever in support of the conspiracy theory, only innuendo and bad science. The "irregularities" in the Moon photos, for instance, only prove that the landings were real.

Answer 5

It's pretty much impossible for it to be fake. The samples our astronauts brought back could no be any type of earthly soil or mineral AND they match the sample brought back by a Russian robot lander. There are little mirrors left in widely separated locations, too precisely aligned to be automated. These can still be accessed, and are on a regular basis by people wanting to calibrate instruments that measure distance. There's a lot of baloney talked around about "too much radiation". It's not particularly more than Skylab (they had to take shelter in the XRAY film safe once during a solar flare), or the Space Shuttle. The main exception was the Apollo 13 mission where they spent most of the flight in the poorly shielded LEM. One of those Astronauts died of lung cancer later. People like your boyfriend insult a lot of heroic people who made big sacrifices. They are like the people after WWII who liked to say that we fought on the wrong side.

Answer 6

You can point out a mountain of evidence to your boyfriend and others, who share his opinion, but you need to point out just ONE thing - the fact that the Soviets have never said a word about our Moon landings being staged.
Don't you think they would have been happy to tell the World, if there was even a remote chance of the landings being staged?
They monitor all our space flights (and not on our TV) and they know where our space crafts are every time. They NEVER said a word. What other proof do you need?

Answer 7

I do not. We definitely landed on the Moon. But the true believers are hopeless. Nothing at all will ever convince them it was real, because their belief is not rational. Some people hear the stories and have doubts until they get the straight facts, but if he is driving you crazy, I suspect he is one of the hopeless true believers. He is the kind of person who will accost Buzz Aldrin in public and yell at him that he is a coward and a liar (for not admitting he never walked on the Moon).

Answer 8

There are all sorts of mental midgets out there who think the moon landings were all a hoax. Most of them are younger than 30, ill-educated, scientifically illiterate, and extremely gullible.

Tell your boyfriend to go to these sites for a complete debunking of all the conspiracy theory BS:

www.badastronomy.com
www.clavius.org

Answer 9

Americans landed on the Moon. Americans launched of of the Moon and returned to Earth. The proof is located in Washington, DC, at the Smithsonian Space Museum.

Answer 10

We landed on the moon. Does your boyfriend think the moon is made of Green Cheese as well? Mcdonald Observatory bounces a laser off of the relectors we left there almost daily.

You might want to find a boyfriend who is al ittle more current in his thinking.

Answer 11

Watch out for him, all intelligent people who have examined the facts (or at least give some credence to those of us who spent 10 years of our lives watching the events unfold) KNOW for a fact that, yes, we did go to the moon, 6 times.

Due to the number of immature minds that hang around this forum, I'd say you are likely to get a disproportionate amount of hoax-suckers, compared to a more representative sampling.
