moon landing done on a set? alot of probable evidence?

Question

What do you guys think of the moon landing being staged. I did alot of reading and its seems very possible. Such points include the technology not being available, the flag waving with no wind,( photos taken from areas where there was no photogropher) More photos were takin then would have been possible in the amount of time they spent on the "moon"
What do you think,? A lot of people have trouble coming to terms with such allegations and will refuse to Acknowledge any possibility.

Ok you people win, but i think you should all move to the moon seeing as how you love it and its possible.
Send me a post card.

Also you people who are so annoyed by a question frequently asked or with little backing should just ignore it, instead of getting all EMO on my AZZ

I just wanted to point out that the people who tried to unmask the hoax, died soon after unexpectedly.
paul jacobs and wife both died of cancer within 90 days. Lee Gelvani died of heart attack in 3 days.
If it was so possible all those years ago why no attempt to return? not even from another country.

Answer 1

1. Pendulums do not need wind to swing. The flag was suspended from a horizontal stiffener above, and acted as a pendulum.

2. We had technology to get into orbit. It only takes about 30% more energy to get to the Moon than it does to get to low orbit. Why is that an insurmountable hurdle?

3. The astronauts spent hours and hours on the moon. On Apollo 16, for example, there were four EVA's lasting 21 hours 40 minutes, for a total of almost 43 man-hours on the moon. It takes about 2 seconds to snap a photo. How many photographs can you shoot in a 43 hour period? And that's just one mission out of six.

4. It would have cost more money to fake the landing than to go there for real. There were TV cameras that were attached to the lunar rovers as they traversed literally miles of lunar terrain. How large would a set have to be to contain that? And remember, there can be only ONE light to illuminate that set, because there was only one shadow -- the Sun's shadow -- in all the photos. So how big would that light have to be? And where would it have to be located?

And remember, millions of people saw the Saturn V rocket lift off, both live an via television. So they would have had to build the rocket, the command module, and the lunar module anyway, and paid everyone anyway, even as part of a fake. So there is zero money saved by not going to the moon.

Which raises another problem: millions of people also saw those astronauts being strapped into the command module prior to liftoff, and the hatch being sealed. Later, on the way to the moon, we saw those same guys on live TV in zero g for ten or fifteen minutes at a time. So they must have been in orbit at least. So how do you get them down from orbit, back to some set for the moon video, and then back into orbit again for the return flight live TV?

5. There is also video that is essentially unfakeable:
(a) They left the rover's camera running on the surface when some of those missions blasted off from the Moon. How do you fake this?

And NO, it's not a model -- as you can see from the astronaut in this clip:

(b) On Apollo 15, astronaut David Scott dropped a hammer and a feather at the same time, any they hit the ground at the same time. That can only happen in a vacuum. Also, analysis of the rate of fall shows that acceleration was 1/6 what it is on Earth. So where do you go to find a set with a vacuum and 1/6 gravity?

6. There were hundreds of pounds of moon rocks returned by Apollo, rocks that show signs of having been exposed to the solar wind for millions of years. Also unfakable.

Answer 2

Oh dear God - how many more times ?

It's all a lot of bollox. All the crap you cite as evidence has been destroyed many times in this forum and elsewhere.

There are two simple answers amongst the many, many ripostes to all this tosh :

1. The Russians monitored the whole thing. If there was any doubt over whether it was real or not, the Russians would have exposed it.

2. The lunar astronauts left a laser reflector on the surface of the moon to enable a daily measure of the distance from earth to the moon to be carried out

Now run along and go play with your toys and leave this forum to the grown-ups.

**EDIT**
Dear tee - the reason we get all "EMO on your AZZ" is because firstly I like people to learn from this forum (that's the idea of a Q&A forum isn't it?) and secondly it annoys the nuts off me that all this conspiracy nonsense just gets trotted out over and over and over again without anybody bothering to check sources to see whether it's true or supportable.
As to why we haven't gone back - well that's basically down to the vast expense of doing so. And the fact that we've not been back doesn't prove we never went in the first place does it? I mean I went to New York twenty years ago, but I've not been back since - that doesn't prove that I never went there.
And, as to the people dying - well, as the Apollo missions were nearly 40 years ago and many people working on them would have been in their 40's or over, then I think it's fair to say that it's a fair shout that some would have shuffled off the old mortal coil by now, wouldn't you?
Glad to see you've been convinced with some sensible responses.

Answer 3

There are reasons people get annoyed.

1. The question is usually not really a question by people wanting to find out, but a statement. People can believe what they want, but should find a blog to spread the word. This isn't the place.

2. The reasons given are dumb. Most of them don't need a science background to demolish with just a little thought. Others, if they were actually researched (rather than being looked for on sympathetic websites) are irrefutable.

3. In many cases, people hold on to the belief in the face of all evidence to the contrary. That's just plain stupidity, and it's annoying because it's dangerous.

Answer 4

Disputing history is not a good excuse for not learning it. I refuse to acknowledge the possibility of a "faked moon landing", because my intelligence is above average. Those who died after making the claims that the lunar journeys were faked probably had brain disorders. I remember seeing one guy with missing teeth who had 50 cats and lived in a trailer who was supposed to have "discovered" the evidence. All of this "evidence" has been explained. None of it is really very complicated. Common sense explains all the claims of fake evidence.

Answer 5

I can understand anyone questioning evidence thats just human curiousity- but really after so long -I think they would have been found out.
Any country (thats most in the world) would love to discredit USA but that hasnt happened.
And no imagination could have pictured the earth like that form the moon incredible.
The only thing in your defence, is that USA is supposed to be technological, but did you see the live pictures from the new york marathon yesterday ??
laughable and amaturish is an understatement

Answer 6

beneficial, in the event that they land interior the comparable area of the sea of tranquility that the Americas astronauts did. you will comprehend this is pretend tho if a % up of our American flag shows a tag that reads "Made in u . s . a . of america" Our American flags have been being synthetic in China, Japan & Taiwan experience earlier WW2 began! i'm hoping the Indians have the user-friendly-experience to a minimum of deploy a image voltaic powered soda pop device on the area for us destiny astronauts. I recommend thats a protracted force to the moon! don't experience like your the only one which thinks it grew to become into all a pretend. There are human beings even at present that don't have self assurance that the super grew to become right into a real deliver. they suspect that the British have been so intimidated by potential of Switzerland's great sized ocean liners of the day, that the British concocted the entire affair to cover the actuality that they might not build such super ships by using fact the Swiss. Time will tell!

Answer 7

Not this AGAIN!
Ugh, look kid, the moon landings were NOT faked. Get that simple fact through your thick skull.
It would have been FAR harder to fake it AND keep the secret from the Russians, than to actually accomplish the task.
PLEASE think before you post this kind of drivel.

Answer 8

There is also a lot of evidence for real moon landings.. You can believe what you want.

Answer 9

I think you have an unusually well developed imagination and a certain charming disdain for reality.

Answer 10

Bunk.
