Is it true that there never was, in fact, a man to walk on the moon?
A source close to NASA is now saying that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldron did NOT walk on the moon that it was just a ploy designed by JFK to end the cold war. The flag that was blowing is proof because there is NO air on the moon so how could that flag wave. I wondered why Armstrong and Aldron would go along with that. Well, to end the cold war. The end justifies the means so to speak.
How come, some 40 years later, they couldnt top that, come close to that or even repeat going to the moon? Is it because it never happened?

It's very possible ! i always said that but no one believed me !
the reasons i didn't believe it ( and still don't) are:
the flag can never move when there is no air around !
besides the gravity is so weak on the moon that the flag can NEVER hold on and stay on the moon's ground..and it's obvious ..
also when the astronauts started jumping around, it made no sense because, again, the gravity is very weak that they should be swimming in air !
one more thing is how they said Neil Armstong's footprint stayed on the moon for years is not even possible because the moon's surface is very rough and rocky, and contains NO water what so ever, so how can the foorprint stay on the surface if the surface itself is so dry and isn't wet???
Well, that's what i think :)
can please you help me :

Does the source close to NASA have a name? Anonymous claims are no evidence. They require EVIDENCE.
If the name was Bill Keysing - he was NEVER close to NASA at all. He worked for Rocketdyne, a producer of rocket engines and had the task to format technical documentation and archive it in their library - he never worked as engineer and despite his claims before his death, he was also never seen leading any department or even do engineering work. He quit the company already in 1963, after working there for only 5 years directly after leaving university as Bachelor of arts (In English language studies). No witness can also confirm his claim, that he was directly hired as department head with his rather modest qualifications.
All arguments you deliver are already decades old and had been debunked by many people already for almost the same time.
Let me explain why you will have a very unpleasant life if you don't understand quickly what evidence really is:
"The flag that was blowing is proof because there is NO air on the moon so how could that flag wave." (There should be a question mark at the end!)
To hurt your feelings quickly: Where is the flag blowing? Can you tell me? There is actually, in the whole history of the Apollo program and in all hours of film material, only one situation where the flag was blowing...well, it was blown away.
When? When the Apollo 11 spacecraft lifted off again from the moon and the exhaust gases of the rocket engine kicked the flag over because it was placed too close to the spacecraft.
You can see this single sequence in many videos, but no hoax proponent EVER mentions it. Instead you are shown such a still image like that:
http://history.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/AS11-40-5874.jpg
Oh, look there, the flag is blowing, see how it blows!
Why don't we look at the flag just 3 seconds later?
http://history.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/AS11-40-5875.jpg
Hey...it didn't change at all in that time, while the astronaut moved.
Still images show no movement.
And a flag that is waving when an astronaut is handling it's pole for ramming it into the soil, is sure not explained only by wind in a studio, but could also simpler be explained by vacuum and manual force of the astronaut...
And what is this...

No. You are wrong. The flag was not blowing. You have no proof in your list of so-called evidence. Please just let this rest. It's embarrassing. I've been knocking holes in this "conspiracy" for 20 years, and it won't go away.
We stopped going to the moon because of American apathy, because we didn't find aliens, and because the Vietnam War was more interesting news for the media.
We stopped going to the moon because Americans didn't want to spend their money on space or space research. Now we live in a world where China and India are doing it for themselves.
And if we never went to the moon, are you also suggesting that every result from every space probe ever published is part of an elaborate conspiracy?
And is every shuttle mission and space walk - like the one that just commemorated the 40th anniversary of the moon landing - also part of a deception? Are you accusing every astronaut of the same fraud as Buzz and Neil?
Because if once you start down this path of deception, there is no escape from it. If they faked the Moon landings, they would have had to fake everything else since, because all these other technologies came out of work done for the Apollo program.
It is the shortsighted folly of human beings that they doubt well-documented truth but yet believe something their friend told them that they heard from a friend's cousin's coworker.
I don't think we're gonna make it as a species.

Bull crap! I'm familiar with the allegations of your "source." He's an incompetent fool and has been proved to be lying time and time again. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has taken pictures of Apollo 11 and the other Lunar Landers on the moon's surface. Click on the first link I've provided to see, with your own two little beady eyes, actual evidence of the moon landings.

All of your questions are easily dismissed by credible websites such as:
But here's some food for thought. If the moon landing was hoaxed, why didn't the Russians kick up a fuss about it? They didn't because they tracked the Americans all the way to the moon and publicly conceded that they has landed successfully.
Your conspiracy theory must envelop at least 2 vast nations and tens of thousands of officials for it to work.

A "source close to NASA" has been saying that for 40 years. If you look on the Internet there are thousands of pages explaining how this "source close to NASA" is wrong. But try Bad Astronomy first.

The
Flag
Does
NOT
Wave!
Seriously, watch the actual video of any of the six landings. The flag waves when it is being moved by an astronauts but otherwise hangs totally static, which is next to impossible in air.
- Anonymous1 decade ago
This is lie, source close of NASA never say that, is hoax, is much proof men walk at Moon several times, you should not believe first thing you read, check other sources if want find truth.

It was real because wind didn;t blow the flag the motion of moving the flag in space were its a vacuum the motion of moving the flag continues till it meets another force which there were none so it kept moveing because there was nothing to stop its motion.
- 1 decade ago
nope you're wrong. the flag was attached to a metal rod which the astronauts set in motion while setting it up, and in a vacuum, an object in motion will stay in motion.
let me ask you this, do you think there was a strong breeze blowing through the sound studio where they faked the landing?
