Did we really go to the moon in 1969?

Update:

How did the cross hairs on the moon camera in one of the pictures get behind the flag pole? How come on one of the pictures the moon rock on the left side as a letter on it? How did they get out of the lander when the space suits were bigger than the opening in the hatch? How come if there is only one source of sunlight being the sun we see multiple shadows all going different directions as if there were multiple light sources? Why is the flag waving if there is no air on the moon? With the powerful rocket motor on the lem and as loose as the lunar soil is how come when the lem landed it did not create a tremendous crater where the lander is sitting? How come when you see a picture of a astronaut standing next to the lem he is all lit up bright white but right behind him the lem is as dark as pitch, how can this be with a camera? Anyone notice that pictures of mars and the moon look quite similar just one is shot through a red filter?

    America did not land on the Moon. We payed billions of dollars for the 360 foot Saturn 5 rocket so we could look at it and say wow that is a big rocket. We kept approx. 400,000 technicians, scientists and construction contractors quiet, with zero leaks to the public. The rocks that we thought that came from moon and have proved to be from the moon are really from the Pacific Ocean.

    Other Conspiracies to think about:

    1. The Jews did not suffer in Germany because there was no Holocaust. Actually it was the Jews that was torturing the poor blond haired deprived Germans. Those tattoos on the Jews arms and hands that are still alive today (by the grace of God) are really there because they want to be hip.

    2. We knew the Japanese were going to bomb Pearl Harbor before they did. I mean come-on President Roosevelt liked the thought of our boys baking inside the Battle Ship Arizona before they died. The President was looking for a better way to get a good nights sleep.

    3. 9/11 conspiracy: the number of people it would've taken to pull off the largest mass murder in US history could fill one of the towers. Do you think the present administration is competent enough to pull off the largest scam in history? The Watergate and Enron capers were known by a handful of people and the secrets were leaked. So how did the 9/11 keep thousands of people's lips sealed?

    4. The Mafia whacked JFK, via the Russian connection, via the Cuban connection. The man on the grassy knoll was a CIA agent acting on orders from Marcello of New Orleans with complicity of the then Boss of Boss Giancana in Chicago. Ruby whacked Oswald to seal the path to the Mafia, he was a two-bit night club owner in Marcello's outfit...true story.

    5. Aliens landed in Roswell and we transported them to Area 51 to back engineer their technology, where do you think the stealth air craft came from? Again, we kept it secret by brain washing the thousands of workers who were in on the scam.

    6. The Moon we see every night is really not there along with the planets and stars as well the Planet Killing Asteroids. Those were put there by the evil United States to toy with our minds.

    7. Fossils of early homosapiens, homoerectus and earlier models were put their by evil paleontologists, athropoligists, and assorted rock hounds looking to enhance their careers, Creation is the real objective reality.

    8. America is a conspiracy and is a fake country and none of us Americans really live here.

    9. I was never born so this response to your question is a fake.

    1) Twelve 12 American astronauts have walked on the moon.

    Apollo 11: Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin

    Apollo 12: Pete Conrad & Alan Bean

    Apollo 13: << failed to land on the moon >>

    Apollo 14: Alan Shepard & Edgar (Ed) Mitchell

    Apollo 15: David Scott & James Irwin

    Apollo 16: John Young & Charles Duke

    Apollo 17: Eugene (Gene) Cernan & Harrison Schmidt

    2) Why haven't we been back?

    a) American astronauts visited the moon on six occasions.

    b) The "moon race" was an extension of the cold war. It was mostly about national prestige. We got there first and achieved our primary objective. There was some good science: surveys, measurements, sample collection. But it was mostly about being there first. Once we achieved our primary objective, there was no political will to go back. There still isn't. Perhaps, if we discover He3 or something else valuable, there will be.

    c) I used to travel to Crested Butte, Colorado every year to ski. Because I don't go anymore, does it mean that I never went?

    3) What about the Van Allen radiation belts? Wouldn't it have killed the astronauts?

    The existence of the Van Allen radiation belts postulated in the 1940s by Nicholas Christofilos. Their existence was confirmed in *1958* by the Explorer I satellite launched by the USA.

    The radiation in the Van Allen radiation belts is not particularly strong. You would have to hang out there for a week or so in order to get radiation sickness. And, because the radiation is not particularly strong, a few millimeters of metal is all that is required for protection. "An object satellite shielded by 3 mm of aluminum will receive about 2500 rem (25 Sv) per *year*."

    "In practice, Apollo astronauts who travelled to the moon spent very little time in the belts and received a harmless dose. [6]. Nevertheless NASA deliberately timed Apollo launches, and used lunar transfer orbits that only skirted the edge of the belt over the equator to minimise the radiation." When the astronauts returned to Earth, their dosimeters showed that they had received about as much radiation as a couple of medical X-rays.

    4) The U.S. government scammed everyone?

    In 1972, there was a politically motivated burglary of a hotel room in the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C. There were only about six or eight people who knew about it. However, those people, including Richard M. Nixon, the President of the United States, failed to keep that burglary a secret. It exploded into a scandal that drove the President and a number of others from office.

    If six or eight people couldn't keep a hotel room burglary a secret, then how could literally thousands of people could have kept their mouths shut about six faked moon landings? Not just one moon landing, but six of them!

    5) What about the USSR?

    Even if NASA and other government agencies could have faked the six moon landings well enough to fool the general public, they could NOT have fooled the space agency or military intelligence types in the USSR. The Soviets were just dying to beat us. If the landings were faked, the Soviets would have re-engineered their N-1 booster and landed on the moon just to prove what liars Americans are. Why didn't they? Because the landings were real and the Soviets knew it.

    6) Why does the flag shake? Where are the stars? Who took the video of Neil Armstrong?

    Take a look at the first two websites listed below. They deal well with all of the technical questions.

    7) Finally, please tell us what you would accept as definitive evidence that the six moon landings were real. Is there anything?

    Yes I believe so. But one question remains in my mind! How did the get through the Van Allen radiation belt? (for those of you how read this and don't know it exists around the earth and to get to another planet or the moon you have to go through about 10,000 miles of it)They would have to be wearing their space suits ALL the time. Otherwise the radiation would have killed them!

    However, there is NO WAY in hell you could keep a hoax like that secret!! With all the people working for NASA someone would have told by now. So we had to have. But there are some unanswered questions.

    Like why did we just give up and not go back? It seems like such a waste of time and money.

    Yes. Russia and the US were rivals at this time. So then they had a space race. Russia was winning for many accomplishments but then America won for being the first humans in the moon.

    all questions about any or all of the six apollo lunar landings being fake are non-sense. nasa got a huge amount of evidence to prove that twelve americans have stepped onto lunar soil, and there is no evidence at all that says they didn't.

    On several of the missions I sat the tracking console they might fool some but not me.

  • 1 decade ago

    great Question.

    i believe we did:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_11

    but many believe we didn't:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Moon_Landing_h...

    But it would have been SO difficult for that many people to be in on ia "hoax" and not ever let it get out to the public, in my opinion.
