Did man really land on the moon????

Question

what do you think, post your theories...reasons etc.

its a controversial topic; lots of conspiracy and stuff.

Answer 1

No a spaceship landed on the moon. A man walked on the moon!

Answer 2

Yes Apollo landed men on the Moon. There is no controversy among people who are aware of the facts. Today, in 2007, it seems like a small footnote in history that hardly anybody notices. Like just another space shuttle flight. No press, hard to find information. Just a little nothing. So when some nut says it was fake, and you don't know any better, you say, hmmmm, maybe.

But it was nothing like that. I am over 50 years old and was in high school during the Apollo flights and remember it well. It was BIG news. It started with Mercury and Gemini flights before Apollo. Every launch was covered live on TV. Coverage started hours before launch on EVERY channel and the whole world watched. It was front page new in every paper in the world. Most launches were early in the morning and we would get up at 4:00AM to watch the TV coverage. Everybody did. If a launch was during the day, we got to skip classes to watch launches on TVs at the school! It was a BIG, BIG deal. Bigger than the super bowl. Bigger than the 9/11 terrorists attacks. Bigger than anything that has happened in your lifetime if you are still a teenager or younger. Sadly, after Apollo 11 the public lost interest. Who even knows who the Apollo 12 astronauts are today? Peter Conrad and Alan Bean were the 3rd, and 4th men to walk on the Moon and nobody even knows it any more. Heck, most people today don’t seem to know Buzz Aldrin was the 2nd man to walk on the Moon. The Apollo 13 accident rekindled public interest but then the next missions went off without a hitch and by the time of Apollo 17, nobody was watching it on TV anymore and Congress cut the program.

See the source for details of the landings. I bet you have never heard 99% of it. Actually, I bet you won’t even read 99% of it, because there are hundreds of pages and thousands of pictures and you probably aren’t really that interested. Nobody is any more. So sad.

Answer 3

Lol. "The cameraman was an alien". Or he was sitting snuggly in an armchair back in Huston controlling the cameras via remotecontrol (which had been invented 50 years earlier by Nicola Tesla)... There is no conspiracy or controversy, only ignorance. Humans did go to the moon in the sixties. Yes they did land and yes they walked around on its surface. There is no proof to the contrary.

Zoom in on this picture and you will see the, not so, absent stars the conspiracy nuts claim aren´t there...

Here´s the video of the above scene shot from a REMOTE camera on the LEM. It shows Armstrong and Aldrin unpacking the flag (and not doing too good a job). The video ends at the exact same moment Armstrong takes the above photo of Aldrin by the flag.

Answer 4

There is no real controversy, just nonsense. I think FOX had a dumb TV show that said the Moon landing was faked. I have seen other shows on Discover and National Geographic that refute this silly show. No real scientist or person who is in touch with reality doubts that men landed on the moon.

Answer 5

It is not a controversial topic. There is no serious debate anywhere about whether the Apollo landings took place.

Answer 6

There already are heaps and heaps of information available elsewhere as regards your query and the space provided herein may not be enough to contain them. To get you started with your "journey", you may want to visit the following links:

Among the pioneers in exposing "anomalies" in the NASA lunar missions of the 60's and early 70's is William Cooper, who was quite remarkable in his revelations he sounded as if he defected from Freemasonry. To know more about him and his thought-provoking critique of the Apollo Moon landings, please visit the following links:

And if you are an avid Physics buff, you may want to validate (or refute) my calculation of g (acceleration due to gravitational force of a planet) based on the timings and speed of take-off and descent of the dust being kicked off in the Apollo 16 Lunar Rover video clip allegedly filmed in the "lunar environment." My calculation yielded 9.8 m/sec^2, which is the value of g for planet Earth. How about that for a revelation!

For an official version of the video clip, you may download the mpeg file from this link:

To get some helpful clues as to the extraction of g from a video clip, it's quite a happy coincidence to recommend this entry from the Y! Answers compendium:

Well, here's wishing you all the best in this thrilling (and hopefully, also entertaining) journey of discovery.

Cheers!

Answer 7

I'm so happy that other people doubt this "fact".
From my point of view, I think the people landed on the Moon because they brought back some rocks and sand which was given to certain countries including Russia, however I have doubts that most of the pictures and films were done there.
There are some question marks about the flag that is waving and there is no atmosphere on Moon.
Another thing is the shadows which are coming from different angels. It is like more than one source of light was used.
In the pictures the stars are not visible.
Also in two pictures taken in two different missions the background is identical, however in the picture done in a earlier mission the module who landed was there, in the second one the module is gone.
I believe the pictures and films were of very poor quality and NASA should show something, that why they made them on Earth on Area 51.
I know this answer will upset a lot of people but this is what I believe.

Answer 8

Yes, six times. This is an historic fact, based on thousands of pictures, videos, Moon rocks, and witnesses. There is absolutely nothing controversial about it.

Answer 9

It does no good to quarrel away the issue when in fact there is a substantial amount of trash that is on the moon and can not be interpreted any other way.This trash is from target practice from earth and should be the focus of intent to remedy.

Answer 10

No, the Americans landed on the moon.
