Well the US moon landing was certainly real. It would have been too risky to fake and we have far from those capabilities now. We stopped because we really didn't have a plan. Hopefully now we do and NASA plans to go back in a more long term sustainable way. However, the US is not the first nation to land on the moon technically. The Soviets were very much ahead in space technology and were the first to send a probe to the moon. Although it was just an impact probe one might count it as the first landing.

The moon landing is not fake. Careful examination of the lunar videos would confirm this. Some who doubt the landing would point out that since there are no stars in the sky the landing was filmed on a set. However, the light reflected of the lunar surface would make it very hard to see even the brightest of stars. To verify this try looking at the sky in a city with a lot of bright lights. Then go to a desert at night and do the same thing. It is called light pollution. That is why observatories are in the middle of nowhere.
I also saw a video of an astronaut dropping a feather on the moon. Since there was no atmosphere the feather fell like a stone. Additionally, NASA was so worried about excessive moon dust that they made the legs of the lander longer and the pads wider. However, when they finally got there they only noticed a few inches of dust.

No, we Australians did not land on the Moon first. It was the Americans.
Sorry, for a minute there, I thought Australians were the only ones using the Net.

It was all fake. Plus light bulbs were never really invented and automobiles do not exist. They are just hoaxes purpetrated by THE MAN. What is real though is that aliens are driving a killer asteroid that will destroy Earth in 2012 when Mars is as big as the Moon.

Its hard to believe that this question still lives. Lets just pretend for a minute that a group of people who spent there lives studying math, science, space, rockets, and the like, said to each other "hey what if we just made a movie instead, we can just launch a rocket into orbit around earth for 4-7 daze(because that's the easy part), so everyone will see a rocket go up and it will be easier for them to believe. we will have to brain wash every one so they will never talk, even our selves.
This is going to be big. we will have write a huge program to feed data to all the control stations, we'll have to trick out all the telescopes too. " and on and on and on.
NO WE DID NOT LAND ON THE MOON.
ASTRONAUTS DID, BACKED A TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS.
I think those who ask this question are stupid. I think I'm a fool for even taking the time to respond.

don't listen to the nut jobs conspiracy theorists, the FACT is this: all the scientific community, from ALL countries has absolutely no doubt about the moon landing, so let's just drop this subject once and for all

No never.It was a pre-shooted video in area-51.Its impossible to survive the deadly radiations on moon(with that type of spacesuits).It was the biggest fake ever!
