Do You Think We Really Landed A Man On The Moon in 1969?

Question

The reason I ask, my father was a mock-up engineer for NASA in the late 1960's. I saw all of the mock-ups and how real things could be made to look.

I love my job. Most everyone of you has "assumed' something here. That makes most of you, the ignorant ones.

And if you typed over a paragraph in responce to this question, you are way less intelligent than I.

Don't worry, I'l let "U" guys settle this one with a vote of your own. I wanna see if any other idiots join in.

And Mr. Chuck Norris, I know you were the first. My Dad always told me that we had to keep that a secret. Thanks for being honest.

And Aviophag, tell educated us all about this, amateur equipment you used to track Apollo to the moon?

Oh my dear Meanolmaw, what part of your grade school education lead you to belave you could place the postion of a space craft with a "Ham Radio"?

Oh, and bedside Nadine P,

I don't believe I have stated my position on this. I just marvel and PHD's who claim to have tracked not just the Apollo Spacecraft, but the LEM to the surface of the moon with a HAM radio.

-Bedside -
I just figured since you were writing me off for dead, I should have you, my Dr., by my side.

Answer 1

Yes, and that man was Chuck Norris

Answer 2

Oracle, get this straight and don't be foolish about it any more, okay? The basic technology required for a manned flight to the moon was developed in Germany in the late 1930s through the mid 1940s. This technology needed a lot of refinement to make a safe manned flight a reality.

We worked on that technology through the 1950s and 60s, and made the first manned moon flight in 1969. It all fits together, and if you read all the history and don't let the wackos lie to you, it will be impossible for you to continue to be fooled into believing that the moon missions did not take place.

The American people were much better educated and more intelligent in the 1960s and 70s than they are now, and it would never have occurred to NASA engineers and managers that 35 years later a bunch of ignorant dolts with nothing to do would come up with a stupid conspiracy theory stating that the moon landings were faked.

If that had occurred to them, I suspect the engineers would have gone to the trouble to create a larger and more visible object of proof, to compensate for the decline in the quality of the American mind and its education that occurred during and after the Reagan presidency.

But there is a real physical proof available. The astronauts who landed on the moon left behind reflectors that are used every day by astronomers to measure the irregularities of the moon's orbit. This is done by bouncing laser beams off reflectors at known locations that were left by the astronauts. Ask your science teacher for information about these experiments. You can arrange to see this done with your own eyes.

Let me put the question to you this way: If you think the moon landings were faked, when did they become "fake?" When did the idea become popular that NASA had invented the idea of an imaginary moon mission and created a huge technological empire to fool people? When was all this fakery done? In the 60s? 70s? 80s?

And why? What was the point? And how did they fool all the people that reported the news, operated the machinery, built the moon rockets, and watched them take off and land?

Do you realize that one American in 500 was a part of the Apollo program? Millions of them are still alive. Are they fooling you? Why? If you go out to a football game, look around you. In the stadium there are people who worked on the Apollo program.

Ask around. You are surrounded by people who know for sure that American astronauts stood on the moon more than 35 years ago.

Answer 3

Oh, please. How many times will we have to answer this same ignorant question?

Yes, the United States landed men on the moon -- six different times. The first two landings were in 1969 (Apollo 11 and 12). Two more in 1971 (Apollo 14 & 15), and the last two in 1972 (Apollo 16 & 17).

With more than a quarter million people involved in the project from some 40 different nations, and multiple millions of dollars being offered in incentives to admit that the landings were a hoax, more than 40 years later there have been no takers -- makes a pretty strong case for the reality of the landings.

But let's make the case even stronger -- our biggest competitor and mortal enemy of the time, the Soviet Union, admitted publicly many times that we had beat them to the moon, and congratulated the U.S. on having successfully completed the task. If anyone had reason to "blow the whistle" on a fradulent claim, it would have been the Soviets, who had all the necessary equipment and knowledge to track the flights and confirm their reality. If our biggest enemy and competitor admitted that we did it, then it MUST be true.

And let's not forget all the scientific packages left on the surface of the moon that we still use nearly 40 years later.

So get over this bridge once and for all -- American landed men on the moon. We did it first, and we're the only nation to have done it. We didi it in 1969 (twice), twice more in '71, and twice more in '72. We haven't been back because there's been no overwhelming economic incentive todoso since then.

'Nuff said.

Answer 4

Of course we landed on the moon! It seems unbelievable that humans can achieve such a feat, and that's why we have people still believing it never happened. We had to have landed on the moon because we are constantly shooting lasers at the reflectors we left there on some of the Apollo missions, to find the exact distance to the moon and how fast it's moving away from the earth. I've seen astronomers use this laser on top of Haleakala crater on Maui, myself. Also, to stage such a lunar landing back in the 60's and to make it look realistic, would have taken special effects that at the time, wouldn't have been possible. It would have been an obvious fake.

Answer 5

This question has been asked and answered hundreds of times so here I go again.
The Saturn V rocket was 363 feet tall.thats as high as a 36 story building!It had the explosive power of a small nuclear bomb.Tens of thousands of spectators watched them launch,10 of them with men strapped to the top of them.
Would NASA have taken such a dangerous risk launching them over and over?
Hundreds of thousands of engineers,scientists,contracters,
subcontracters,and workers would have had to keep the "hoax" a secret.Even more than 35 years later,not one has stepped forward.(Because it really happened)
12 men walked there and brought back hundreds of pounds of moon rocks that scientists all over the world including Russia agree came from the surface of the moon.
Reflective mirrors were left there by astronauts that we still use today to bounce laser light off of to measure Earth to Moon distances.
To question the FACT that we walked on the moon 6 times is an insult and at the same time a tribute to the hundreds of thousands of people that made it happen.
It was such an amazing thing at an amazing time in our history,no one would dared have guessed that 35 years later people would be questioning whether it happened at all.

Answer 6

From what you have said, I gather that nothing anyone can say will convince you that the moon landings were real. You resort to name-calling when people disagree with you. You are behaving childishly here. If you don't want to be convinced of anything, why did you ask? You just wanted everyone to know how you feel about it and had to ask a question so it wouldn't look like what it is -- a statement of your beliefs. edit: Okay, and you are also incoherent...bedside????

Answer 7

You'll need all the death-bed confessions to be in before you decide, huh? Me, too. No, really, they left mirrors up there precisely aligned by one of the 'lunarnauts' to receive 'bounce-back' signals from an Earth station. We always know the precise distance to that point on our orbitting friend.And it varies substantially as the moon's orbit is somewhat of an oval.

Answer 8

Yes - of course. That is too hard to fake - the Russians would have made us a laughing stock if we didn't - they could detect our communications from the Apollo spacecraft...

Answer 9

I don't believe the Olympics happened in Los Angeles in 1984. I saw the outside of the stadium a few years later, but I know it was a mock-up.

I don't believe ther were six moon landings. I know.

Answer 10

Then you kknow those mock-ups were for training and public education--and that the lunar landings wre real.
