why no landings on moon now a days?apollo landings are hoax.?

Answer 1

It is a very expensive thing to do... and with almost no reason to go people didn't want to spend the money.

Answer 2

1) Twelve 12 American astronauts have walked on the moon.

Apollo 11: Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin
Apollo 12: Pete Conrad & Alan Bean
Apollo 13: << failed to land on the moon >>
Apollo 14: Alan Shepard & Edgar (Ed) Mitchell
Apollo 15: David Scott & James Irwin
Apollo 16: John Young & Charles Duke
Apollo 17: Eugene (Gene) Cernan & Harrison Schmidt


2) Why haven't we been back?

a) American astronauts visited the moon on six occasions.

b) The "moon race" was an extension of the cold war. It was mostly about national prestige. We got there first and achieved our primary objective. There was some good science: surveys, measurements, sample collection. But it was mostly about being there first. Once we achieved our primary objective, there was no political will to go back. There still isn't. Perhaps, if we discover He3 or something else valuable, there will be.

c) I used to travel to Crested Butte, Colorado every year to ski. Because I don't go anymore, does it mean that I never went?


3) What about the Van Allen radiation belts? Wouldn't it have killed the astronauts?

The existence of the Van Allen radiation belts postulated in the 1940s by Nicholas Christofilos. Their existence was confirmed in *1958* by the Explorer I satellite launched by the USA.

The radiation in the Van Allen radiation belts is not particularly strong. You would have to hang out there for a week or so in order to get radiation sickness. And, because the radiation is not particularly strong, a few millimeters of metal is all that is required for protection. "An object satellite shielded by 3 mm of aluminum will receive about 2500 rem (25 Sv) per *year*."

"In practice, Apollo astronauts who travelled to the moon spent very little time in the belts and received a harmless dose. [6]. Nevertheless NASA deliberately timed Apollo launches, and used lunar transfer orbits that only skirted the edge of the belt over the equator to minimise the radiation." When the astronauts returned to Earth, their dosimeters showed that they had received about as much radiation as a couple of medical X-rays.


4) The U.S. government scammed everyone?

In 1972, there was a politically motivated burglary of a hotel room in the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. There were only about six or eight people who knew about it. However, those people, including Richard M. Nixon, the President of the United States, failed to keep that burglary a secret. It exploded into a scandal that drove the President and a number of others from office.

If six or eight people couldn't keep a hotel room burglary a secret, then how could literally thousands of people could have kept their mouths shut about six faked moon landings? Not just one moon landing, but six of them!


5) What about the USSR?

Even if NASA and other government agencies could have faked the six moon landings well enough to fool the general public, they could NOT have fooled the space agency or military intelligence types in the USSR. The Soviets were just dying to beat us. If the landings were faked, the Soviets would have re-engineered their N-1 booster and landed on the moon just to prove what liars Americans are. Why didn't they? Because the landings were real and the Soviets knew it.


6) Why does the flag shake? Where are the stars? Who took the video of Neil Armstrong?

On the subject of stars, take a look at the first link. Sorry, but there *are* stars in that photo. For the rest, visit "badastronomy" and "clavius". They deal well with all of the technical questions.


7) Finally, please tell us what you would accept as definitive evidence that the six moon landings were real. Is there anything?

Answer 3

OK, the Concorde supersonic airliner was designed and built in the 60s, same time as the Apollo development. We no longer have a supersonic airliner, and theree isn’t one on the drawing board. Concorde flew at Mach 2.2, modern jetliners fly at less than mach 1.

So, Concorde is a hoax by your argument.

Do you see how stupid that argument is.

And to all those who repeatedly state (with no real thought) that there is no need to go back to the moon, that is garbage also. Lunar geologists were devastated by the cancellation of Apollo. They had only just scratched the surface of the moon. The last landing, Apollo 17, was the first to send a real geologist.

Jeez, the surface of the moon is as big as Asia. Do people really think we really got to explore it with just six landings in which the men only ventured a few kms from the lander?

Answer 4

The Moon is a lifeless, airless rock in space. The only reason we went there in the 60s and 70s was to prove that we could go. Once that was done, there was no reason to stay there and no reason to go back. But today we are thinking of using the Moon for things like telescopes (since there's no atmosphere to look through) and other things, so some think now is the right time to start going to the Moon again.

If you really think the Moon landings were all a hoax, please read this website:

Answer 5

Many things effected our returning to the moon. Naturally money was a big issue. The desire to move towards a space craft which could be reused also hurt the moon program. Yes we went to the moon and it's not a hoax.
At the present time there are plans to make a return trip to the moon in the works. This will happen.

Answer 6

How do you logically come to the conclusion that since there have been no recent trips to the moon, thatr therefore the Apollo landings were a hoax.

Answer 7

Too expensive. NASA's budget for the past decade has had strings on it - they had to come up with missions that would appeal to the masses and produce some marketable news to make it appear valuable to Congress.

No, they weren't a hoax (kinda hard to fake 6 manned landings in 4 years).

Answer 8

Too expensive. Political pressure to spend money on earth. The moon landings were real. Study books in the library about the moon landings. They will answer any question you have about how it was done.

Answer 9

Maybe there aren't anymore landing because there isn't anything more we need to know about the moon. Why waste more of our tax $$$ than they already do? Don't personally think the previous landing were a hoax but many believe that.

Answer 10

Nobody wants to spend the billions of dollars needed to do it. The cost today would still be extremely high because rocket technology has not enjoyed the same level of improvement as electronics.

Answer 11

Nope. Not a hoax. Only hoax here is the one god did on you, making you believe you actually have a brain. He's just so mean.
