How many times have humans been to the moon?

Question

I don't think we have EVER been to the moon, my son thinks they really went. I try to prove my point by saying if we went to the moon how come we never made a return trip?

Answer 1

zero

there all fake

the landings where filmed in hollywood
haven't you heard?











.

ha,
Just kidding.

oh, I thought you knew. oh well. one day you'll see the light.

the Chinese are planning for another touch down around 2020.

they want to build a "moon base"

Answer 2

NASA landed men on the Moon six times. Opinion is irrelevant. We landed on the Moon. That's not a subjective opinion - it's an incontrovertible scientific fact. The conspiracy theory relies solely upon bad science and faulty common sense. You've been tricked by fiction that's made to seem like fact.

We don't have to take the government's word for it. There is a mountain of independent evidence that proves, to the highest possible standard, that we went to the Moon. Consider:
1) Apollo 11 left a retroreflector on the lunar surface that astronomers have detected thousands of times.
2) Independent radio telescopes, when pointed at the Moon, detected the Apollo transmissions. If there hadn't been a ship there, they wouldn't have heard anything.
3) The Moon rocks have been thoroughly analyzed by geologists, who conclude that the rocks formed billions of years ago on the Moon. They explain that there's no way for NASA to fake the rocks.
4) No scientist rejects the landings. If there was something fishy about the landings, would it not be scientists who would notice? Instead, scientists are the first to vigorously defend the landings.

This evidence is irrefutable; to reject it is to reject all modern science. That we haven't been to the Moon since 1972 proves absolutely nothing. The only time I've been to California was in 2000. Since I haven't returned since then, does that mean that I never went in the first place? Of course not. It's expensive and dangerous to go to the Moon, and NASA's budget is extremely small.

Answer 3

How will nasa explain it when the Chinese land next to one of the Apollo landing sites and they can't find any remnants of the lower half of the lander or the vehicle? Will each of these people that claim that you can't cover it up for that long have anything to say then? They went into Earth orbit but they never landed on the moon! All the engineers and ground support were to have them go that far. How do you explain the number of photos taken? It exceeds the number that could possibly have been shot by every astronaut that supposedly went to the moon.They would have had to have taken more than two per second each second they were outside the lander. This would have required reloading the cameras outside on the moons surface. How do you explain the famous foot print. It shows a man that weighs more than he should for a person standing on the moons surface where the gravity is only one sixth of Earths, yet the print indicates he was in a one G environment when that print was made! We are to believe that they made it to the moon with 1969 technology. With computers that had less than one K of ram. With tin foil skin on the outside of the lander. With space suits that had no protection to radiation. and no viable environmental systems to control heat and cold exposures. The list of reasons not to believe are endless! Nasa employees just want to collect their pensions that's all!

Answer 4

There have been 6 Moon landings that resulted in men walking the lunar surface. A total of twelve men have been on the Moon. (Apollo 11 in 1969, 12 in '69, 14 in '71, 15 in '71, 16 in '72 and 17 in '72) Aside from that Apollo missions 8, 13 and 10 have reached lunar orbit and several Russian Space missions have soft landed on the Moon; Luna 20 in '72, and Luna 24 in '76 even returned samples.

So it kinda (sic) looks that you'll have to read a little before trying to debase something that is so laughably proovable. Ironically reading and more importantly understanding will lead to only one logical conclusion: There is no hoax.

Answer 5

I have several friends who work in observitories. Non of them have been able to see the flag that the Americans have supposedly put there. The reflector could have easily been put there by an un manned craft. With the technology of 1969 the radiation would have killed them going through both Van Allen belts. (each of two regions of intense radiation) Sorry but from a scientific perspective they definitely did not go. (look up Van Allen belt, then look up space craft materials to seal the deal)

Answer 6

The 'why haven't we gone back' is a very lame argument for proving they never went in the first place. I have never been back to Canada, but that doesn't mean I never went. We don't currently have supersonic passenger transport from London to New York, but that doesn't mean Concorde was fake.

In any case, a return trip was made. In fact six return trips were made after Apollo 11, one of which failed, all the others of which were successful. But the trips stopped because NASA's funding was cut. Apollo was a very expensive project, and while NASA was constructing it on the basis of the beginning of a continuing manned presence in space, the taxpayers and congressmen who decided what money NASA would get viewed the landing on the Moon as the ultimate goal. As far as they were concerned it was successfully concluded with the landing of Apollo 11, and from then on they didn't want their money spent on manned space missions. Three planned Apollo missions were cancelled, the Apollo applications project was reduced to Skylab, and the shuttle became the prime focus. Even the shuttle was badly compromised in design from the original plans because they were not given the funding to build what they had originally hoped to build.

The evidence for Apollo is simply overwhelming. Hours of TV and film, thousands of photographs, original documentation, personal testimonies, all of which cover not only the landings themselves but everything leading up to them. I strongly suggest you research it. The evidence is amazing.

Answer 7

US in Apollo 11, did land on the moon, and the 2 fellows inside did walk on the moon.

However, there are many theories that argue that that moon landing was actually a fake, by NASA to decieve the Russians.

And think of it. Who would want to make a return trip when we got so much planets, stars to explore?

Answer 8

Americans have made 9 trips to the moon. 6 landings, 2 orbital missions, and 1 fly-by:
APOLLO 8 Orbit of moon
APOLLO 10 Orbit of moon
APOLLO 11 First landing
APOLLO 12 Second landing
APOLLO 13 Fly-by (mission aborted)
APOLLO 14 Third landing
APOLLO 15 Fourth landing
APOLLO 16 Fifth landing
APOLLO 17 Sixth and final landing

Answer 9

Six count em 6 times, oops

Never went back b/c it's hilariously expensive, it was never good for anything but a publicity stunt anyway, and it's not likely anyone will upstage us on that one for a long time anyway, so why bother?

Probably will need to go back in a few decades, in case China or somebody gets sneaky and tries to break our little record. Can't have that you know.

Now if NASA or somebody ever gets around to refining a really practical technology for moving freight and stuff into orbit, at say 1/100 the current cost, I'm sure there'll be all kinds of useful stuff being done instead of this nonsense.

Answer 10

6 times. your son is right we have gone there but have found nothing so we did not go back after 6 times. also it costs alot to go there.
