Is there a good website or video that clearly illustrated an unbiased view of wiether or not we landed on the moon. Or any good information that someone has compiled from researching this. I have always wondered if this rumor were true.

Wow Cosmo, thanks for the over abundance of sarcasm, that added absolutely nothing to this question, anyone can give a sarcastic answer. Calm down.

Yes. The united states landed humans on the moon, as well as other probes and landers.
The soviet union sent multiple probes orbiters and unmanned landers to the moon.
No... you can not see American flags, LEMs or other man made object with telescopes from earth or with the Hubble telescope, the resolution required to see objects that small is too great and not possible inside earth's atmosphere but is possible from space but a telescope the size of Hubble would have to be 300 KM from the moon in order to accomplish the task.
You can see some "Stuff" that we left there... lunar retroreflectors... these are special half cube mirror panels that we placed on the moon (the Russians also placed one with an unmanned vehicle) that very accurately reflect laser light directly back to the laser's origin.
Please look at the following two sites (and many others) to see the situation more clearly.

Of course we landed on the moon. There is plenty of proof. Anyone who doubts we've been to the moon is just ignorant or stupid and has no faith in human ability.
The video of course may be hoaxed (probably not). If the camera they brought up there didn't work, NASA would all look like idiots. They couldn't have that, so a fake set was probably made as a safeguard.

The best proof that people did land on the moon and that it is not some vast government conspiracy is that the conspiracy would have required 1000s of people keeping their mouths shut for the last 40 years. Not likely if you ask me. Any one of the conspirators could have made millions selling an expose' book.
You should go look at some moon rocks that were brought back.

Nope.
And we didn't invent the light bulb or the automobile either. It's all imaginary.
Oh, and that microwave oven that you cooked lunch in today? Guess what? It doesn't exist either. Just a figment of your imagination.
I'm not sure whether computers exist yet. I'm still researching that. But there does seem to be some truth in aliens riding on a killer asteroid in 2012 when mars will be as big as the moon.

The US space program sent 6 successful manned missions to the moon. We have rocks. The astronauts left stuff up there.
Do you really think the government would have gone to enormous expense to fake it not once, but 6 times and then pay all the hundreds of people to be quiet about it? Come on.
****Ahmed is an idiot. The flag is "waving" because there is a metal rod along the top of it.

we have never went onto the moon. The proof is that :
1.There is no air on the moon and the footage shown shows the USA flag Waving in the air.
2.The Soil On The Moon is hard so how come there can be a footprint lft behind by the astronauts.
3.In the footage there a crosshair is also show. When Matched with the crosshair made in the home videos and in the proffesionals video this crosshair was the on from the professional's video.

Yes! 12 men walked on the moon. Please read all the cool books in the library on how it was done and of course use the internet to study this. It's a lot of fun and any question you have about how it was accomplished will be answered.

It depends on what "We" is. The generation of Americans in the 60s went to the moon. The current generation is going nowhere.

Yes, I believe we did- if we didn't then i will make someone plan a trip to the moon so i can go there when i am an Astronaut! I don't think NASA would lie, because they are always right!
but if you want to believe that we didn't- that's fine.
