Of course they did! Noone was sceptic at the time, why would they go to all that trouble. Besides,
evidence saying that it didn't happen is much less convincing to that which says it did. |

There is something in some people, I don't know what it is, that makes them incapable of
comprehending humankind's greatest feats. Thus we get "The pyramids were made by aliens", "RADAR was
stolen from the Roswell UFO", and "The moon landings were faked."
The moon landings were real. The whole world watched it happen. Physical witnesses watched the
astronauts enter the rocket and watched the rocket launch. Worldwide live TV coverage. Telescopes
all over the world tracked the rocket and the LOM. Physical objects were left on the moon, and lunar
rocks and dust brought back. The back side (NOT dark) of the moon was photographed. Don't know if
you still can, but for a while there you could actually buy tiny chunks of moon rock... Which are
chemically dissimilar to rocks on Earth.
Apollo astronauts died testing equipment... Seems unnecessary if you're faking things.
Not one of tens of thousands of NASA employees has ever supported the fakery theories.
NASA worked in conjunction with several other agencies, institutions, and universities to design and
build equipment and experiments... So all these companies and schools would have had to be in on it,
increasing the potential leak factor to perhaps 50,000. Yet no person involved has "spoken up".
Apollo cost 25 billion in '60s dollars... The film "Armageddon" cost 140 million in '90s dollars.
There is something frighteningly perverse in people who refuse to accept humankind's greatest
achievements. This was one of the U.S.A.'s shining moments, and one of humanity's. I suspect you
all don't want to believe it simply because you don't have enough imagination to conceive of it
happening... And if you can't imagine it. It can't have been real.
Get over yourselves. There ARE smarter, more capable people than you, and they build pyramids and
launch rockets while you do nothing but sit there and whine. |

Of course they did...they happened multiple times... And all we got was rocks sadly... |

Yeah they did! And the Americans were first to do it, all the people that are jealous such as the
Russians only say it didn't happen because they wanted to do it first! |

It is simply childish to argue that the Moonlanding was faked. Fair enough the Americans and
Russians were in competition against each other in the so called space race, but I doubt that an
event as important to science as this could have been a hoax. People should have more faith in
science! |

I really don't think it was faked. It wouldn't be a very good idea to fake it, because they must
have known that at some point we would return to the moon - think of how they would look if they
didn't find any thing left up there. Anyway, there is one piece of evidence that cant be denied and
proves that they did go up there. That is that they left mirrors there so that scientists could
accurately measure the distance the moon was moving away from us each year. That is something the
conspiracy theorists just forgot to mention no doubt.... |

We just wanted to look superior to Russia |

Russia was sending all kinds of things into space and so was the U.S...however the Russian space
program was successful with sending sputnik up in 1957 in 1958 U.S sent up Explorer which failed.
They actually failed at numerous attempts to send anything up. This was during the Cold War and
Nixon was feeling the pressure from the U.Ks space program being so succesful. And all of a suddenly
with the Apollo mission they were able to send a rocket carrying human life into space and land on
the moon? Theres so many things disproving this, firstly the photos provided by NASA. Theres one in
particular I'm referring to, its of the moons surface the patterns and crevices are similar to ones
that have been taken of area 51,and the rocks collected were soil samples similar to ones collected
just outside area 51,a place where no civilian has gone,theres unexplainable shadows and
reflections, the video cameras were placed in the suites of the astronauts and the footage shown was
too still, meaning if the astronauts were bouncing around like the video shows why is the footage so
still, theres missing data as well.....i think its a little fishy.

Okay, here we go. The shuttle that supposedly lifted off Cape Canaveral and off to the moon has
about the same level of A.I. As a calculator today. And that was enough to take and bring back seven
humans from the moon?
Let's look at footage from the supposed moon landing. First why aren't the shadows in uniform
direction? If there's only one source of light - the Sun - then there should be only one direction.
Secondly, why is the flag of the U.S. Fluttering on a satellite that has no atmosphere? No
atmosphere means no wind.
And now, why haven't we ever returned to the Moon? Our technology has advanced exponentially, we
sure have the money to burn (that much has been proven by the war in Iraq), and NASA definitely has
the resources to pull it off. So why haven't we? Because we never did go there.
So, why would the Moon landings be faked? Look at the time period. At the heat of the Cold War (no
pun intended), the U.S. And the U.S.S.R. Were in an everything race. They were in a "my freaking
horse is bigger than yours" on a global scale. Going to the Moon would be the ultimate show of power
for the US.
As for the Moon rock, seeing as we can't be 100% sure what is or isn't Moon rock, then how do we
know it wasn't engineered in a laboratory and given certain characteristics that aren't found in
rocks on Earth? It certainly wouldn't be hard.
I guess in the end it's all up to the individual to believe whether or not we went to the Moon. Of
course it's the more romantic option to believe all the wonderful stories about Neil Armstrong and
Buzz Aldrin and all those brave men and women. But for the critical, analytical mind, it's clear
that there are significant holes in the story. Like StBalders said, the only way you'd know for sure
is if you were Neil or Buzz. Or the NASA guy getting paid $22.50 an hour to operate the lighting in
a Nevada desert that's supposed to be the surface of the Moon. |

They were faked. See this article elsewhere on the site for a presentation of arguments.

Obviously i don't know but if I have to have a stab at it (which I do, 'cos I'm like that) I would
guess no. There is certainly many strong reasons for them faking it - winning the space race over
the Russians, it's cheaper, very achievable etc.
Basically I just think that because they could fake it, and that it was worth faking it, makes it
highly likely that it was faked. You would have to be Neil or Buzz to know for sure though. |
