Was moon mission of NASA(Apollo) fake ?

Question

Did they really landed on moon or just fooled the world ?
Their snaps clearly proves that they were taken on earth. If NASA cant send moon on man, then how can they think of sending man on Mars ?

Answer 1

Yes, they really went, six times in fact

Answer 2

Although my wife's father performed fuel calculations for the original Apollo landing, I'll spare you that speech. Instead, I will encourage you to watch two programs. The first show is called Conspiracy Moon Landing that it currently showing on the National Geographic Channel and it pretty much obliterates all of the popular conspiracy theories. I would also encourage you to watch a movie called Capricorn One. Made it 1978, it is a fictional story about a fake mission to Mars. Although it is a science fiction story, it is a good example of how utterly impossible it would be to fake a moon landing for any length of time. 12 men walked on the moon from 1969 to 1972 and we have neither the resources nor the technology to pull off that big of a hoax for so long. Hundreds of thousands of people have worked on the space program. It would be far easier to put someone on the moon than to try and fake it and keep it secret for nearly 40 years. The landings came at a time when our space program was ultra competitive with the former Soviet Union. Remember how big of a deal it was when Sputnik was put into orbit? They had the technology to monitor our moon shots and transmissions. Don't you think they would have called us out if they had evidence that it was all fake? Perhaps the most definitive proof of our trip to the moon is what we left behind. For the last 35+ years, scientists have been beaming lasers to the moon and measuring the return times. How are they doing this? The beams are reflected back by equipment left on the moon on at 3 different locations. Case closed.

Answer 3

Of course the landings were real, all six of them!

The "we never landed on the moon" wackos are the ones perpetuating the biggest hoax ever, based on the complete ignorance of the facts by conspiracy theory wackos, out to prove just how totally ignorant they really are.

I do not believe we landed on the moon, I KNOW we did. Moon landing hoax wackos merely regurgitate the same old tired lies, most of them originally put forward by the profoundly ignorant Bill Kaysing in a book and a horrible TV program on Fox TV in 2001. NONE of his crazy claims stands up to serious scrutiny. NONE! The fact that all of the Apollo landing sites have since been imaged by various satellites from lunar orbit is hard to explain away! I am including links to a number of sites with the truth about these claims.

The moon landing hoax believers are just plain delusional and beyond all human help. As I have also said, I find it amusing, in a kind of sad way, that the same people who think that the most thoroughly documented voyage of exploration in history was a hoax are willing to believe any wacko conspiracy theory or doomsday prophecy. No critical reasoning skills people?

In addition to the sites already mentioned, which have actual FACTS to refute the myths and lies put forward by the lunar landing deniers, some of us actually have personal observations to prove that the missions DID occur. I was a member of an amateur radio/amateur astronomy group at the time the Apollo missions were flown, and among other things we distributed tracking information that allowed many of us to point our telescopes at the spacecraft on the way to the moon. Can any of the wackos explain to me what I was seeing at the expected coordinates, if it was NOT the Apollo spacecraft on the way to the moon???? Many others at sites around the world observed and some imaged the spacecraft in transit to the moon. Also, I have friends, other ham radio operators who were able to receive the audio and video directly from the lunar surface. I have seen their videos, kind of noisy since these friends were using much smaller dish antennas than NASA did, but they were clearly recognizable and their antennas were aimed directly at the moon. Explain that, moon hoax wackos!

A couple of quotes I like, the first from Carl Sagan:

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

From Daniel Patrick Moynihan, it SO applies to the moon hoax wackos:

You are entitled to your own opinion, but you are NOT entitled to your own facts.

Answer 4

"Their snaps clearly proves that they were taken on earth."

All the 'anomolies' pointed at by skeptics are easily explained away. One item that the skeptics cannot explain is shown in the video of dust coming off shoes. No dust shows turbulant flow, all dust off the shoes or rover wheels shows pure ballistic trajectory. This shows that the dust was behaving in vacuum.

The sound stage would have had to be evacuated of all air, and whould have had to be large enough to show the rover at speed. They would have had to build a vacuum chamber the size of the Astrodome.

The force required to keep out the atmosphere would have been enormous.

The ascent of Apollo16 or 17 shows foil and other debris flying from the launch site. All ballistic trajectories, no turbulance.

Snopes the space pen and the Urban Legend is false.

Pencils were used by NASA and the USSR until 1968. NASA used Fischer pens were used after that because broken pieces of lead didn't float thru the cabin when a pen was used.

Fischer (the pen manufacturer) spent more than a million dollars to develop his product that would match NASA specs. He sold NASA 400 pens for 2.95 apiece.

That's a $1,200 cost to the taxpayers, not your $200 billion.

Answer 5

It is all real. There are no "snaps" that prove they are fake. The flag does not wave for example. Look at the VIDEO (not still pictures) and see for yourself. (The source is a QuickTime video from Apollo 16)

But I agree that they can't send anyone to Mars if they can't send them to the Moon. You will DEFINITELY see a return to the Moon before any Mars mission.

Answer 6

Some of the shots that you may have seen are simulation shots only. So they were on the earth.

So far only Americans have made moon landings. They did invite people from other country to do space missions.

India and China both have a Men-Moon mission on the drawing board.

Americans have a Men-Moon station in the works.

Answer 7

IT WAS REAL! We sent a man to the moon we can go to mars in about 20-30 years.

Answer 8

oh well the technology is gone so ahead these days....some time we feel confused about what is true what is not. I think they have landed on earth for sure. May be some pictures can prove it. I haven't seen that discovery show yet but all others countries are not fool. they are even going on moon. I think nasa is made in a fully developed country that have done alot of research on space and made billion dollars space shuttles.

Few days back i was reading nasa has spent over 200 billion dollars on making a pen that can write in space coz normal ink wont come out in space. For they had had to make a special pen and spent alot of money making it like i said........Russians on other hand used pencil... I know nasa wasted money but they done something nice either......these kinda things arnt fake or something...sometime some evidence proves but everything on this earth is not true.

May be one or two events may be wrong/falsely presented by nasa so that people wont laugh on them especially their competitors Russian space people. All space tours arnt fake.

Think about it

Think about it too

Answer 9

they really went to the moon. the soviets were watching it closely, if it was a fake they wouldve made sure everyone knows. and NASA had thousands of people working for those launches, don't u think 1/1000 would have let the secret out. and the astronauts put mirrors on the moon that we bounce a laser off of to measure the exact distance from the earth to the sun. they really went to the moon.

Answer 10

The photos clearly prove the stupidity of those who claim they were faked. If you visit any of a number of legitimate sites, you will see why. Same goes for the videos. It is not a matter of "us" against "them." Anyone seeing these revealing pictures and reading the explanations, should have no doubt. Even if you can't be convinced that the moon landings were real, you certainly can't avoid discovering that the hoax theorists are wrong on every single point and virtually every one of their claims has been thoroughly debunked.

Answer 11

I haven't seen Discovery Channel's presentation, but Fox did one several years back based on a popular book advocating the Moon hoax theory.

It's a pretty flimsy theory, really. You can see a point-by-point breakdown of the arguments and their counterarguments here:
