they say that landing on moon of Apollo 11 is questionable because of the footmarks left there..But how could you leave a footmarks on moon which has a zero gravity??Definitely,you will float there right??

I DON'T BELIEVE they went to the moon AT ALL

and I wish they'd get that damn "stage setup" out of the sky at night.

THE MOON does have gravity, just not as strong.

The moon is BIG and does have MASS therefore it does has SOME gravity.

Yes, there are reflectors (old (1971) technology) left on the moon that still we measure even to this day by shooting lasers to them and waiting the light to bounce back.

we're watching how much the moon moves toward us and we've noticed that its actually moving away from us.

for some strange reason GRAVITY keeps them where they are. on the moon ground.

Not only Apollo 11, but 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17 too.

All objects have gravity. The Moon is a big object so it has gravity, about one sixth of that much bigger object, the Earth. You absolutely will not float on the Moon, if you jump, you will come down.

There is plenty of evidence that those who say the Apollo landing did not happen are at best wrong and at worst deliberately lying to sell cheap and nasty TV shows and books. TV stations broadcast them because they have to fill their 24 hours of time with something and they don't care if it is false, in fact they prefer it because it gets people talking.

If the Moon landings in 1969 and later had been faked thousands of scientists and radio experts around the world would have known straight away. Specially the Russians, but also Germans, French, Spanish, Australians, British, you name it.

The Russians are said to have tracked the Apollo spacecraft by radar on it's way there. Other countries could have too. If the spacecraft had taken off and then just orbited the Earth, it could have been seen, perhaps with the naked eye, certainly with a good pair of binoculars apart from being radar tracked. The Russians were in no doubt that the US had landed people on the Moon and still have no doubt about it.

Not everyone who worked on Apollo was a US citizen, I know one Australian who was in on it and there were many more. Most of the staff of the ground stations in Australia were Australians, there were also ground stations in Spain. None of these people owe any allegiance to the USA.

Almost anyone who was good with tools and had a bit of money could build a suitable antenna and tune a suitable radio into the transmissions from the Moon. There is nothing secret about the construction of such antennas, I have a book on it right here.

The astronauts brought back hundreds of pounds of Moon rocks which were analysed by scientists all over the world. Not all of them were US citizens either, and they had no allegiance to the USA. If those rocks had been faked those scientists would have seen it. In any case, the Russians also returned Moon rocks to Earth in three unmanned probes and published the analysis results. The American samples were consistent with the Russian ones.

In addition, the ages that were determined for these rocks were (and still are) older than all rocks found on Earth except for meteorites.

The Apollo program came to an end because the US public lost interest, when that happened, funding dried up and NASA could not afford to send any more. Fact of history.

This site is devoted to the mostly Australian men and women at the Honeysuckle Creek tracking station in Australia which received some of the Apollo transmissions. You can hear one man talking directly to the astronauts on the Moon.

The fact that there are no colonies on the Moon is easily explained. There is no atmosphere. The surface is exposed to solar and cosmic radiation, which is deadly after several months. There is no water that we know of, so what do the colonists drink? The day length of the Moon lasts 27 and a bit Earth days. Plants cannot tolerate this so it would be impossible to grow food there even if there were water. And that does not even consider the high daytime temperatures and the ultra-low night ones. So absolutely everything would have to shipped up from the Earth at enormous expense.

The people pushing this are liars and in some cases crazy.

The Moon has gravity. It just isn't as strong as Earth's. If you weigh 200 pounds on Earth, you'd weigh 33 pounds on the Moon, and you'd certainly leave footprints.

Of course Apollo landed there. They left objects on the moon such as retroreflectors that can be seen by instruments on Earth even today. All you have to do is look with a laser and a telescope and you'll see them glowing back at you.

First of all, I do believe it, but you made some mistakes. They are gravity on moon, only it was too diminutive for you to realize (about 1/6 of Earth's gravity). To leave some footprints on moon isn't really impossible, the space suits have a certain mass that can provide adequate weight for the astronaut to actually walk on moon.

I have watched a documentary trying to prove that the moon landing was not true and it made me doubt..

There is gravity on the moon just far lesser than here on Earth so leaving a footprint on the moon is a possibility..

Who ever said that should be shot. It is the dumbest statement I have ever heard and it should be illegal to be that stupid. Every body with mass has gravity. The earth has it, the sun has it, asteroids have it. Why should the moon be any different? Do a little thinking before you make an *** of yourself...

I disagree. in fact, there has a micro gravity exist on the moon. so we can see the footmarks which human being
left there 38 years ago.

Your science teacher should be fired if what you learned makes you think the Moon has no gravity.

I posted this yesterday, so lets try again:

YES! How many times does this need answering a day?

Go over some old "Answers", you wont have to go back to far, and you will find that there are many answers supporting that indeed man did land on moon. Enough of the conspiracy stuff! Please don't ask about 2012 either...

ROTFLMSFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are some morons out there who'll buy into anything.
Of course we landed on the Moon. And the only reason that it hasn't been colonized and commercially exploited is simply that there really isn't much (that we've found, so far) that has any commercial value. No ROI, no investments, no commercialization. And others have explained about the footprints.
