Is man on the moon really fake? With more technology after 30+ years. Why won't Nasa send a man again?

Question

some conflicting notes:

>Apollo 14 astronaut Allen Shepard played golf on the Moon. In front of a worldwide TV audience, Mission Control teased him about slicing the ball to the right. Yet a slice is caused by uneven air flow over the ball. The Moon has no atmosphere and no air.
>A camera panned upwards to catch Apollo 16's Lunar Lander lifting off the Moon. Who did the filming?
>The pressure inside a space suit was greater than inside a football. The astronauts should have been puffed out like the Michelin Man, but were seen freely bending their joints.
>The flags shadow goes behind the rock so doesn't match the dark line in the foreground, which looks like a line cord. So the shadow to the lower right of the spaceman must be the flag. Where is his shadow?
>Why is the flag fluttering when moon has no air?
>The Lander weighed 17 tons yet the astronauts feet seem to have made a bigger dent in the dust.

Answer 1

You have lifted these from a website. Use your own intelligence.

And the whole point of "Capricorn One" was that the secret couldn't be kept.

Answer 2

>>Apollo 14 astronaut Allen Shepard played golf on the Moon. In front of a worldwide TV audience, Mission Control teased him about slicing the ball to the right. Yet a slice is caused by uneven air flow over the ball. The Moon has no atmosphere and no air.<<

Because, of course, everything they say must be taken 100% literally, and heaven forbid this little fun PR exercise on Apollo 14 might have been accompanied by smoe witty banter.

>>A camera panned upwards to catch Apollo 16's Lunar Lander lifting off the Moon. Who did the filming? <<

The camera was remotely operated from Earth by a guy called Ed Fendell. For the liftoff he anticipated the moment of liftoff and commanded the camera to pan upwards so that the command was received and acted on at the right moment, accounting for the communications delay caused by the distance. On Apollo 16 he got it wrong. He got it right on Apollo 17.

>>The pressure inside a space suit was greater than inside a football. The astronauts should have been puffed out like the Michelin Man, but were seen freely bending their joints.<<

How much use would a spacesuit be if they were indeed puffed out like that and unable to freely bend their joints? A spacesuit isn't just a big rubber bag. It has restraint layers and all sorts of joints and mechanisms in it precisely because it is necessary for the astronauts to be able to move their limbs. Do you think all spacesuits are fake, because I've never seen one that puffs up like a Michelin Man.

>>The flags shadow goes behind the rock so doesn't match the dark line in the foreground, which looks like a line cord. So the shadow to the lower right of the spaceman must be the flag. Where is his shadow? <<

Well if you bothered to link to the pic this was describing it might help....

>>Why is the flag fluttering when moon has no air?<<

It's not. It's held out by a rod across the top.

>>The Lander weighed 17 tons yet the astronauts feet seem to have made a bigger dent in the dust.<<

Do the calculations on the weight distribution of an astronaut on a foot and the LM on all four large landing pads. You'll be surprised.

Answer 3

The "slice" was a joke. The camera was a remote one like the one on Mars. A space suit is quite heavy and does not puff out. Does pressuring a plane make the aluminum skin stretch? Shadows depend on light source. Multiple sources throw and affect different shadows. The flag is not fluttering. The telescopic rod which holds the flag up did not retract all the way so the flag has folds like it is fluttering in the wind. These waves are permanent. How do you how much dust was displaced, were you there? Besides a large weight with larger distribution would create less (dent) than a smaller object with small distribution. Last proof. There are mirror like objects on the moon to reflect lasers to accurately measure the moon's distance to the earth. They did not grow there, they must have been placed. The devices helped determine the moon to earth distance is growing by six inches a year. How would they know this and if it is false why make it up? Notice how conspiracies are based on guessing and supposing rather than evidence. Don't you think that the old Soviet Union and Russia today would be crying foul if the moon landing is so easily proved to be a fake?

Answer 4

Because NASA got a whole pile of money to go. On the first missions outside the magnetic belt of Earth ( which may have been unrealized at the time) the astronauts held back from mission control the fact that they were seeing flashes in their eyes. These flashes were later realized to be protons and neutrons emitted from the sun passing through their bodies, and their eyes. The reason they have not gone back and explored space further is because, here on Earth we are protected by a magnetic field. The moon is not nor is Mars. These images are one of the reasons why life exists here. Pls stop complaining about NASA, and be more realistic about the truth. The flag fluttered because Our Star emits 10 billion tons of matter per second, where does people think that goes? Our ozone is depleting UV light bounces, people will soon learn this. (off shiny moon lander) The moon solidified, it's hard under the dust from asteroids. A football? relative. And was designed for the vacuum of space while providing around 80% atmosphere. Lots of knockers not many doers.

Answer 5

If it were fake, with modern movie-making technology NASA could fake a moon landing every month and even build a fake moon colony with fake lunar colonists. If it were real, it would be far more expensive to send more astronauts, and even more expensive to set up a colony. Since we haven't had any other landings, that argues for the fact that it was real. So far it seems like too much expense for too little benefit. If it hadn't been for national pride we wouldn't have done it in the first place. I think we should set up a permanent base on the moon, but until popular opinion supports it it's not going to happen.

Answer 6

i'm sure a person could never hit a ball accidently at the wrong angle, and thus sending the gold ball on a non-straight course.

i really doubt that, after sending people to the moon, that NASA had the ability to make a camera that could both transmit its footage, AND move on a mechanical gear as to pan upwards..

the suits are not a single layer. the outter layer you see is on top of insulation and such. the pressure is help within the innermost part of the suit.

different heighs od objects, as well as the angle at which they are standing, changes the way shadows reflect upon the ground. two objects may be at the same place, but with un even ground, their shadows will be seen differently.

the flag was not fluttering, it was wrinkled, and had a stiff wire in the top of it to hold it out straight.

what does 17 tons have to do with how much it weighed on the moon. different gravity. also, the area of the pads in relation to the weight distribution, compaired to the same of the suits + men.

Answer 7

Ho hum. Same old conspiracy theories, same old answers.
You forgot to ask -
"If we landed on the Moon, why can't we see all the stuff that was left behind using powerful telescopes?"
and
"Why can we see Neil descending down the ladder, if he was the first person on the Moon? Who was operating the camera?"

There are dozens of other questions you could ask, all of which have been simply and scientifically explained.
Go back to the website you were reading and get a few more.

Answer 8

None of the pictures are fake. I would strongly recommend you to learn about the Apollo program and the technical / physical details. Then also learn about astronomy, the Moon, the light of the sun in dark space - and more.
To understand the stupidity of the people who claim the moon landing and the pictures thereof are only a hoax, please study all the facts as presented at: http://www.clavius.org/

Answer 9

Mission Control couldn't see the ball's trajectory. The controller was joking.

We've all seen the flag in videos, and it never flutters in any of them. What are you talking about?

Answer 10

OMG!!! THE MOON LANDINGS WERE REAL! We are going back. NASA is aiming to return by 2020, & hoping to start a perminant luner base by 2024.
