Question

So was the Apollo 11 flight a hoax?
If you know the answer, then tell us, WITH EVIDENCE. Not just i think blaa..
Thanks.

Masterm...
Do you have any "evidence" of this? Because I don't know if to believe you, but with a bit of evidence or assuring me it would help. It is a school essays, so i gotta get it right.

And molly, you're reported. Thanks.

Answer 1

No it was not a fake, I was there and watched apollo 11 lauanch and then I watched in awe as they walked on the moon and I also watched as it returned to earth and splashed down in the ocean, why would you need to ask us about this when you can just go to jpl.nasa.gov and find the answers there,,

look here for the actual missions and find your answers,,

Did the Apollo astronauts really land on the Moon?
Of course they did! The Apollo Moon landings were among the most completely documented and observed events in history. The conspiracy "theories" that claim otherwise are a bunch of nonsense without even a single compelling piece of evidence. Most of the questions raised are based on ignorance of basic physics and optics. Video special effects were in their infancy in the late 60's so that faking a landing on the Moon would probably have been more difficult than actually going there, and it seems highly unlikely that the hundreds or even thousands of people who would have had to be involved in such a conspiracy would have kept it a secret for so long. Ultimately you'll have to decide for yourself if the marginal evidence offered to show this was all a hoax is compelling enough to overturn the overwhelming evidence that it actually occurred, but make sure you check the facts carefully, you need to be a little skeptical of the skeptics, too.

Answer 2

Well if it was a hoax then it was the best kept secret in history. Think about the number of people that would have to be involved. The entire recovery crew (an aircraft carrier and it's attendant ships), the launch crew at Cape Kennedy, and where the astronauts were stashed while they were supposed to be in space. It's difficult to keep a secret when a dozen people know it (There is an old saying that a secret can be kept by 3 people if 2 of them are dead)
With literally thousands it would be totally impossible. Now you also have the film crew and editing crew, the special effects people... Some one would talk and it would be out in public so fast it would not have been funny. I think you are safe to say it happened, just from the logic that if it didn't you'd have heard where the set was, who shot the footage, and where the astronauts had been.

Answer 3

Watch the National Geographic documentary Conspiracy Moon.It takes all of the claims the landing was fake and explains each one.Very good one hour program.Apollo 11 was not a hoax.Nor were any of the other flights to the Moon.

Answer 4

Why should I waste my time providing you with evidence? Do I need to prove WWII actually took place? Do I need to prove that 747 jets exist? How about puppies? Do you need evidence for the existence of puppies? Are puppies a government conspiracy? I've seen some really suspicious pictures of puppies.

Answer 5

No, it wasn't a hoax. And, the only evidence I can point out is the moon rock sitting in the Smithsonian.

Answer 6

well ofcourse nobody is going to support their answer with 100% proof. but come on people. it's NOT A HOAX. conspiracy theorists will look for flaws in anything to make a myth

Answer 7

We are able to bounce lasers off instruments left on the moon.

Answer 8

Hi. I have never seen credible evidence against it.

Answer 9

Since when does evidence stop trolls from trying to get attention?

:-)

Answer 10

Molly is right! Better report me, too!
