Neil Armstrong on flight Apollo 11.

For linus, the Moon landing was NOT a hoax, moron. For a site that shows how all the hoax "evidence" is actually idiotic and presented by uneducated, clueless persons, visit http://www.badastronomy.com [btw that's how you put in a link, you type it out]
Anyway, yes Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the Moon. Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin was the one with him in the lander, and second to walk on the Moon, while Michael Collins had to stay behind in the command module. And, only a few years ago did Armstrong admit he accidentally got caught up in the moment by realising where he was and what they had accomplished [hey who wouldn't] and mistakenly left out the "a" in his famous statement. It should have been, "That's one small step for *a* man, one giant leap for mankind." At least he said something though. Walter Cronkite, the very respected and famous news anchor, had planned on saying something reflecting the achievement after they cut back to him and he ended up just being speechless on camera.

Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin landed on the moon at the same time. But when it was time to get out, Neil got out first (he was the commander and was closest to the hatch door).

12 men walked on the surface of the moon. Another 12 men orbited (or went around) the moon without landing.

If you are being influenced by the moon hoax brigade, please read the following carefully. I have prepared it in answer to all the garbage that is put out on the internet regarding the moon landing hoax. Please, please, do not get taken in by them. Be your own person.

___________________________________________

Anyone with a bit of clever pseudo-science can pull the wool over the eyes of people who are techno-ignorants. But very often just a tiny bit of common sense enables anyone who is willing to think for themselves, to see though the crap.

Take bumble-bees. There was always that science that said it should be impossible for bumble bees to fly. But of course, we see the damned things flying all the time. I have seen in the past, arguments that nuclear bombs are a hoax; that it is impossible to detonate atomic weapons and stop the chain reaction going on forever. Yet, tell that to the Japanese.

Apply a bit of common sense to the rubbish coming out about the twin towers collapses being the result of controlled explosions. Ignoring the very obvious point that thousands of New Yorkers saw airliners fly over them, if the airliner thing was a hoax, why don’t hundreds of American and United airline personnel cry “Nah, we never lost any planes”. And the local air traffic control “Nah, we never lost those flights off radar”.

You see, you don’t have to get caught up in high-tech arguments about whether airliners exploding or their fuel burning being able to soften steel and bring down those buildings. Those simple points above make all the other scenarios look absolutely stupid.

Anyone can apply this simple basic logic to show the moon landings really happened, without resorting to arguments over flags waving, stars in the sky, dodgy looking bits in the film etc. 400,000 people worked on the Apollo project from 1961 to 1972. There were hundreds of intelligent and able controllers, many of them having come through the early Mercury and Gemini programs. It is impossible to believe that anyone could be gullible enough to believe that all these controllers in three shifts per day (we’ve all seen the shots of Mission control, full of screens, readouts and people) could have been fooled by simulations rather than the real thing, and for 3 years consisting of 6 landings and one abortive landing.

And so many of the the people who repeat the moon landing hoax stuff, talk like Neil Armstrong was the only lunar astronaut. The later Apollos included the moon rover. That vehicle in itself would have involved dozens, perhaps hundreds of engineers, in its design and build. Does anyone for a minute think that these people would not be very interested in the film of their “baby” travelling across the lunar surface? And when these engineers look at that film, is it possible to believe over all that time, not one of them would notice something strange, something not right, that would alert them to it being a simulation?

It is utterley ridiculous that if it was a hoax, the hoax makers could be that clever so that the simulations would not be noticed, not just by the rover builders, but by all the engineers connected with Apollo, all keen to see how their personal bits were working on the moon. And it is even more ridiculous to even consider that a simulation could work so perfectly as to fool all those mission controllers for all those trips, and it never has the slightest hiccup or telltale indication that it was done in a studio.

The Bumble bee flies, and just as certainly, 12 men walked on the moon between 1969 and 1972.

Neil Armstrong

Famous for his speech:

"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind"

Supposedly Neil Armstrong.

But then there exists the conspiracy that we didn't land on the moon at all! Some people believe the whole thing was staged for political reasons.

If you want to read up on it, just google 'moon landing hoax.' For some reason, it won't let me post links on here.

Micheal Jackson, that's where he learned how to moonwalk. :) plus he did it without any oxygen, which explains his odd behavior after he got back.

The Government will tell you it was Niel Armstrong.
