Who honestly believes that man landed on the moon?

Question

After all the consprisies who really does believe that man landed on the moon and why?

Ok firstly thanks for all of the answers so far!

Richard R, okharris and anyone else who says about IQ... what the f**k has IQ got to do with this???? Its a question i was asking and im entitled to my own opinion!!!! And as for IQ's being high, i should think that the people who studied about the moon landings and the "conspiracies" have higher IQ's than you two!!!!!

Another point: so how come in 1969 the Americans were advanced enough to send people to the moon and back yet colour TV wasnt around and the video footage on the moon was in black and white????????

Its actually amazing how touchy people are getting on this subject! I bet they are all Americans "protecting" their country!

Anyway:

Another point is: America are the worlds best film makers and special effects and that and they probably were back then, so how EASY would it have been for them to film that in a studio?

Answer 1

I do, and millions of other intelligent, reasonable individuals around the world do, too. Even the Russians, our sole competitor and biggest rival at the time, admitted that we were successful and beat them to the moon.

I was alive when it happened, and watched it all unfold. I watched and listened as governments around the world, friendly and antagonistic, tracked our flights to the moon -- and confirmed that the signals could ONLY have come from the moon -- and later congratulated us on our spectacular feat. I was there when the samples were returned, and analyzed, and confirmed that they could not possibly have come from anywhere on Earth.

The only folks who are convinced that we did NOT land men on the moon six different times are mental midgets and defectives who cannot comprehend the staggering feat that we'd accomplished, and reject the proofs we gave that the Earth is, in fact, not flat. Or jealous, hateful idiots who have made it their life's goal to denigrate any accomplishments made by the United States in any field. Idiots who fail to comprehend why a quarter million NASA employees, even tempted with millions of dollars in rewards for stepping forward, continue to remain resolutely and obstinately firm in their agreement that we landed men on the moon -- because it is true and real. Twelve Americans walked on the surface of the moon, and nothing these conspiracy theory nutjobs can do will ever change that TRUTH.

Answer 2

I do not BELIEVE man landed on the Moon, I have arrived soundly and scientifically at the conclusion that they DEFINITELY DID land on the Moon. It is not a question of belief. There is a vast mountain of evidence supporting the landings as genuine events, and only vague handwaving and basic misunderstandings to say it was all faked. Anyone who says they see a flag waving in the wind really hasn't bothered to look. The flag is held out with a rod across the top because it won't wave on the Moon, and it only waves when an astronaut waves it. When not being moved the flag remains utterly and completely static, which is next to impossible to achieve in an atmosphere. Some people even claim a STILL picture shows a MOVING flag!

Apollo was real. Anyone who thinks it isn't needs to actually do some research into the subject.

>>Ok firstly thanks for all of the answers so far!<<

You are welcome.

>>Another point: so how come in 1969 the Americans were advanced enough to send people to the moon and back yet colour TV wasnt around and the video footage on the moon was in black and white????????<<

Colour TV WAS around. In fact, Apollo 10 and Apollo 11 both had colour TV cameras in the spacecraft. However, the miniaturization of video cameras to turn them into hand-held devices was new, and done especially for the space program, and modifying them further so they could work in a vacuum was even newer still. By the time of Apollo 11 a colour camera that would work in a vacuum was not available, so the first steps on the Moon were in black and white. However, every landing after that sent back colour TV, and the quality was superb by the time of Apollo 17 in 1972.

>>Another point is: America are the worlds best film makers and special effects and that and they probably were back then, so how EASY would it have been for them to film that in a studio?<<

Answer: virtually impossible. Could they make a fake moon set? Yes. Could they make everything behave as though in 1/6th gravity? No. Could they make the dust behave as if in a vacuum under low gravity? No. People like to claim wires or slowed-down film were used, but these ignore the basic facts that wires can’t be attached to everything, and that the footage exists in long segments in some cases over an hour long, in which other things are seen that cannot be explained by wires or slowed down film.

Faking the landings is actually harder than doing it for real.

Answer 3

-"i think this is the flag is waving on the moon there is a zero wind factor so the flag should not be waving." This is your first argument? Really? Anyone who actually watched NASA's footage will notice that the flag only waves when the astronauts move the pole. Since there is no air resistance to slow the flag down, it continues to wave longer. Have you ever heard of inertia? If not, look it up. Later videos when no astronauts are near the flag, it is perfectly still. I guess you forgot to mention that. -"there was only one light source the sun so all shadows should be parallel which they weren't" The topography of the moon plays tricks on your eyes. The uneven surface gives the illusion of unparrallel shadows when in fact they are. Mythbusters proved this in their moon landing episode. Watch it. -"they landed why wasn't there any craters made from the landing" Just before landing, the engines where throttled down to 3,000 lbs of thrust. And several feet above the ground, the engines where shut off as the LM came in for a nice soft landing. I just looked this up. It is amazing what you can find out if you do a little research. -"the chances of them landing and coming back all alive are less than 1%" I would like to see where you got this number from. Did you make it up? I'm not surprised that someone who can't spell or use proper grammar is baffled by space age technology.

Answer 4

That's OK, If you want to disbelieve we landed on the moon. after all, we still don't know for sure that the man who killed Lincoln was the one the army caught. A lot of people say Booth got away. And what about Kennedy's assassination conspiracy theory? And even though we were 99% sure Oswald was the trigger man, We had to dig up Oswald to make sure he WAS Oswald. And bury him again. And how many gun men were in the room when Ted Kennedy was assisanated? Even when things happen in front of our eyes or on TV, we have a tendency to believe it's a conspiracy. I believe the world is round, we landed on the moon SEVERAL times, and Elvis is still dead. (or untill I hear otherwise on the 6 oclock news)!

Answer 5

Anyone with an IQ greather than a rat. Provided of course that they havent been infected with the "EVERYTHING IS A GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY" meme.
And just what conspiracies are you alluding to? The WMD in Iraq? SHH Nobody as discovered that was a lie yet. Bill Clintons creative use of cigars and an Interns creative use of a mouth? OHH, these are world threatening. Imagine, a world leader having extramarital sex. Certainly that has never happened before.

Answer 6

OH FOR GOD'S SAKE BE SERIOUS! Of course they did... Can you imagine what would have happened if they really had faked it, and then got caught out? Besides, the project was just too big; there were just too many people involved.

The conspiracy theories have all been conclusively shown to be wrong. The "fluttering flag", etc, etc, are all easily explainable even to the non-scientifically trained amongst us.

Besides, I saw the launch live on TV back in '69.

And Buzz Aldrin is, in the nicest possible way, barking mad in a way only possible had he really seen the "earth rise" from the moon...

Need I say more?

Answer 7

Anybody that actually bothers to look at the facts and the true evidence rather than idiots trying to make a name for themselves and the even bigger idiots who believe them, rather than the scientific geniuses who made the moon landings possible. There were too may people involved for their to have been a covered up conspiracy and if the Soviet Union had suspected that the Americans had cheated don't you think that they would have said something?

Answer 8

People are intrigued by mysteries and conspiracies but in this case there was none. The United States would never have spent 20 billion dollars just to perform a hoax. There were too many people involved and the whole enterprise was performed in far too public a manner for that kind of secret to have been kept all these years. If there was any actual proof of these conspiracy theories that would have held water the Russians would have been more than happy to have pointed them out.

Answer 9

Yes such a thing is entirely possible if we can land back on earth landing on the moon isn't too much trouble besides creating a stage big enought to fake the moon and in a pure vacume is much harder than doing it for real.

Answer 10

Oh my God - not again.

Yes - man did land on the moon.

Bear three things in mind.

The astronauts left a reflecting device on the surface that enables earth-based scientists to bounce a laser off it on a daily basis to measure the distance.

The NASA space programme employed some half a million people at its height during the Apollo programme. There is no way in the world that that number of people could have kept a secret of that magnitude quiet for so long.

The Russians (amongst many other countries) independently monitored the moon landings.
