was the moon landing staged?

[ScottyBBadd]

Lots of people saw the FOX special claiming that the landing was a hoax. How many people watched the debunking?

I did. I saw it on Discovery Science Channel.

I did. I saw it on Discovery Science Channel.

But its not as well known as FOX's. Conspiracy fans always read up on the conspiracies, ignoring any debunking. Its because they want their "truth" to be "real" no matter what.

(Note I do believe in some conspiracies being reality. But in the case of the moon landing...The Americans made it.)

 

[Cinemaman]

Why are you such a god damned idiot

EVERYONE AND THEIR FREAKING GRANDMOTHER KNOWS THAT THE RUSSIANS WERE FIRST TO SPACE, THERE'S NO NEED TO POINT OUT THAT DAMN FACT. NOT ONLY THAT, THAT'S NOT EVEN THE FREAKING TOPIC, YOU JUST WANTED TO DO YOUR PATHETIC "I HATE AMERICA" BULLCRAP!

You want the full story here you go.

1. The United States and the Soviet Union were in a cold war that exended to outer space. Both nations were trying to get to the Moon.

2. President Kennedy promised to land on the moon by the end of the 60's.

3. Kennedy got his head blown off, President Johnson milked his death to get all the funding he needed to get what Kennedy wanted. Including the moon landing.

4. 1969 - We land on the Moon.

5. The End.

Umm, don't forget that the first human in space and the first human to orbit the Earth was Yuri Gagarin

imo back than it would have caust wayyyyy to much money to reaserch and develop the technology they needed for their moon landing missions, the cheapest way to land on the moon would be that they did stage one or a few of the landings.

the evidance points more to it being faked.

Despite the fact that rocket exhaust is very hot there is not even the slightest scorch mark under the lander.

Not saying we never went to the moon cuase I believed we did. But for us to go so long ago, by now we should have advanced further. You know, like a space station, a moon colony.....stuff like that.

If they had found anything other than dirt and rocks on the moon, we would have a colony. But unfortunatly there is no profit to be made from rocks and dirt so... there you have it, no reason to build a space station because there was nothing to exploit.

No life on the moon, not even microbiotic = nothing combustible (can't burn what isn't there)

 

[Silicon Surfer]

The minerals at the landing spot should have melted or vaporized

 

[Superman4ever]

I'm not going to debate if we landed on the moon or not. I believe that we did, but what annoys me, is the fact that we did this 40 years ago and NASA is planning to return in 2018. 2018? Shouldn't this be cake for us now? I understand that we've had trouble since Columbia, but aren't we being a little TOO cautious? 2018 to the damn moon? Something we accomplished 40 years ago is going to take us another 15 years.

Shouldn't we move to something a little more challanging or benificial, like Mars in 2018?

The cosmic radiation alone from the journey would have killed the astronauts because the technology didn't exist to block them, why do you think the soviets never attempted such a trip.

BELM! Jon Van Allen, discoverer of the Van Allen belt that you are referring to, actually rebutted any claims that the radiation was intolerably high.

 

[Silicon Surfer]

The first mission was during a period of sunspot activity that greatly increased the potency of the Van Allen Belt. According to one report about 1000x.

Yes, and many of the astronauts are paying the price later on in life.

 

[Machx72]

Of course they landed... It was David Hasslehoff that dropped the hammer and the feather.

 

[Ice-man]

speaking of hasslehof, ur avatar disturbs meee. im not to keen on seeing hasslehof in a man thong, with a black leather open top.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

i dont think we went in 69.

 

[Crowforge]

Yes, we suck at keeping secrets and lying.

 

[huskerwebhead]

Here you skeptics go:

Every question or "reason" you've given so far as to why you believe it was staged is disproved here....and proves in each case that we DID land on the moon.

YAY!

 

[Mr. Smash'n Bash]

I belived it was staged. When the flag is on the mood it's waving......Um...yeah that pretty much sums it up there.

Its called inertia. Everytime the flag is seen waving the astronauts are either messing with the flag itself of the pole its on.

Dude, all this has been disproved. In fact EVERYTHING that has been brought up against he moon landings has been disproved in this thread. Stop bringing up reasons why you think they are faked and watch the video, everything you question is answered.
