Do you believe man did NOT land on the moon?

Question

To expand your answer. Answer the follow questions in order:

If you agree with the question,
1. What evidence out there that you agree with?
2. What is/are the evidence that you find very interesting and/or most convincing? Try to narrow your choice down to 2 or 3.
3. What's your thoughts on why NASA is not confessing? Will they ever admit that they're wrong? What would you do to make them leak the truth (that they faked the whole thing up)?
4. Do you think that this is the greatest hoax of all time? If not, then what is?

If you diagree, then answer these questions:
5. Why? What ARE the evidence that convince you? Specify.
6. Why do you think that there is the growing uncertainy about the moon landings?
7. What is it that makes you trust NASA so much and you are sure (and crystal clear) that man did land on the moon?

Answer 1

Man DID land on the Moon. The evidence that convinces me is all of it. I have seen hours of TV, hours of film, thousands of pictures, read documents from the time, read books by people who were there, even handled lunar rock samples. The evidence stacks up very heavily in favour of Apollo being genuine. But to firm up my conviction even further, not one hoax theorist has demonstrated sound knowledge of basic science, nor demonstrated that they have actually looked at the majority of the evidence, nor been able to come up with a coherent sequence of events that better explains the VAST amount of available evidence.

Growing uncertainty about the Moon landings comes as a result of ignorance and distrust of governments, as well as, IMO, falling education standards where people are no longer taught how to think critically but are simply expected to learn facts and figures and apply them. Apollo is a technical subject, and contains much that is not intuitive to the layman. Conspicuousy, the conspiracy theorists tend to lack knowledge of the scientific principles on which Apollo depended. Where are the qualified physicists, engineers and space scientists who think Apollo was fake?

I don't have to trust NASA, that's the key. NASA does not hold a monopoly on space exploration and research. For those who think the radiation was dangerously high, why has none of the other space agencies in the world spotted this glaring flaw? Nor does analysis of the evidence require trusting NASA. No stars in pictures? Basic photography, nothing to do with NASA. Non-parallel shadows? Simple perspective. Nothing to do with NASA. Effects and types of radiation? Physics, predating and continuing independently of NASA.

Apollo is not a matter of trust or belief. Either it happened or it did not, and the evidence, verifiable without any input from NASA, says it did.

Answer 2

I do not BELIEVE man landed on the Moon, I have arrived soundly and scientifically at the conclusion that they DEFINITELY DID land on the Moon. It is not a question of belief. There is a vast mountain of evidence supporting the landings as genuine events, and only vague handwaving and basic misunderstandings to say it was all faked. Anyone who says they see a flag waving in the wind really hasn't bothered to look. The flag is held out with a rod across the top because it won't wave on the Moon, and it only waves when an astronaut waves it. When not being moved the flag remains utterly and completely static, which is next to impossible to achieve in an atmosphere. Some people even claim a STILL picture shows a MOVING flag! Apollo was real. Anyone who thinks it isn't needs to actually do some research into the subject. [Edited to respond to the additional details] >>Ok firstly thanks for all of the answers so far!<< You are welcome. >>Another point: so how come in 1969 the Americans were advanced enough to send people to the moon and back yet colour TV wasnt around and the video footage on the moon was in black and white????????<< Colour TV WAS around. In fact, Apollo 10 and Apollo 11 both had colour TV cameras in the spacecraft. However, the miniaturization of video cameras to turn them into hand-held devices was new, and done especially for the space program, and modifying them further so they could work in a vacuum was even newer still. By the time of Apollo 11 a colour camera that would work in a vacuum was not available, so the first steps on the Moon were in black and white. However, every landing after that sent back colour TV, and the quality was superb by the time of Apollo 17 in 1972. >>Another point is: America are the worlds best film makers and special effects and that and they probably were back then, so how EASY would it have been for them to film that in a studio?<< Answer: virtually impossible. Could they make a fake moon set? Yes. Could they make everything behave as though in 1/6th gravity? No. Could they make the dust behave as if in a vacuum under low gravity? No. People like to claim wires or slowed-down film were used, but these ignore the basic facts that wires can’t be attached to everything, and that the footage exists in long segments in some cases over an hour long, in which other things are seen that cannot be explained by wires or slowed down film. Faking the landings is actually harder than doing it for real.

Answer 3

There have been 100,000 s of people involved in the space
program. To believe in a conspiracy among so many defies
logic and imagination. For those that have seen that bogus
documentary with the flag waving on the moon, I say, how can you be so quick to believe something that can be created with a simple computer program and at the same time believe that those involved in the space program are just kidding? Get rea!

Answer 4

I am 100% sure that we landed on the moon. For one thing, the technology did not exist to fake the video from the moon then, especially in real time. It would be difficult to accomplish such a feat today even. Why do believe in such nonsense? I think it comes from a rightful mistrust of the government and general ignorance of science. Unfortunately many people today can't see beyond their own pickup truck.

Answer 5

I know this isnt what you asked, but im going to list why people who think it didnt happed were wrong.
1. The flag wasnt actuallt waving, they realized that it wouldnt wave, so they put wire in it to make it look that way.
2. They had probes already down there, thats what took the pics
3. No stars were seen because of lighting and camera settings.
4. if they faked it, NASA would be smart enough to fake these datails, also. we know that ir is not fake because there is evidence that it is. false evidence, though

Answer 6

5. I'm in the industry. I do things like that.
6. More ignorant people are being more vocal.
7. This is a paranoid, biased question. It's not a matter of trusting NASA but more of a question of being educated enough to know it's possible.

Answer 7

just do some google research.. geez... they landed on the moon!!! turn off the television!!!!


RESPONSE TO WIND ON THE MOON:
No there is not wind on the moon, however, the flag was attached to a pole that was in the hand of the astronaut. When he moved his hand, the pole moved, thus making the flag ripple and wave. The flag is going to look like it's blowing in the wind because their is no gravity to pull it down.

It's simple physics... please turn off the television. The Fox Network was responsible for bringing this pollution to light.

Answer 8

Wow. Ambitious, aren't you?

1. No, I will not do your homework assignment for you.
2. If you're truly curious about this question and not a troll, simply do a search, and read all the old answers.

Answer 9

I am a retired Aerospace/EE engineer. I had friends who worked on the Apollo program. Don't listen to the trash of the non-believers They are worth no one's time.

Answer 10

No man never landed on the moon. That was hoax and NASA framed it on a massive studio.
EVIDENCE:(1) The flag of US seems to be waving altough there is no any air in the moon.
(2) No any stars or heavenly objects are seen in any of the pictures of Appolo mission.
(3) Who was there to take pictures of landing of Astronauts.
