While surveying the moon and walking around John Glenn put a golf ball on the surface and hit it sending the ball into space!

Alan B. Shepard, Jr., originally described the exagerrated distance of his moon shot as “miles and miles and miles.” Those famous words followed a one-handed golf swing with a rigged up six iron on the moon. The first swing was reported to be a duff, but the next connected.\n\nAlthough Shepard fired off those two golf balls in moon gravity which is about one-sixth of earth's, they did not go miles and miles and miles. Shepard later appended his estimate to drive distances in the 200 to 400 yard range. Still, not bad with one hand and encumbered by a suit that prevented a good pivot on the swing.

no, becasue there's no wind on the moon, yet the flag was waving. \nalso all one would have to do to prove it did happen was photograph the landing site through a telescope.\nthe rover didn't fly off into space did it. if it's still there and you want find out for yourself then break out your telescope and find it.\nnot to get your hopes up, but you wont find anything.

There were 6 apollo missions that went to the moon, apollo 11 thru 17 with apollo 13 being the one Tom Hanks did the movie about where they had problems and were lucky just to get home again. In each mission there were three spacemen, one poor guy just went to fly the rocket, the other two were lucky enough to go all the way to the surface of the moon. Each mission landed in different locations and in total there were 12 men who have been there and back - only nine of them are still alive today. A good book called Moondust tells you everything about the apollo missions.

You probably were not aimed at the moon. Did you align the spotting scope that should be on the top of the telescope near the top (the open end), facing out? If it was aligned properly (it should have come with instructions on how to do it, unless it was preassembled), and you sighted the moon through it, looking for the upper part of the area you want to look at, the moon should have been right there.\n\nIf you want to align the spotting scope, take the whole telescope out in daylight and move the scope until you have a pretty distant treetop in the scope, then adjust the spotter until the same treetop is visible. Make sure you do not look at the sun!\n\n\nhttp://science.howstuffworks.com/telescope3.htm

maybe you would want to measure the helium content on moon and compare it to earth.

Neil stepped on the ground first.  Buzz did it second.  And Michael was taking repeated trips around the moon while all of this was happening waiting for the landlubbers to return back in their lunar module to link up with his rocket, and return the three back to earth.  Michael musta been bored.  And probably cried too.  Poor guy.

On July 20, 1969, Commander Neil Armstrong became the first man on the moon. He said the historic words, "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."\n\nA camera in the Lunar Module provided live television coverage as Neil Armstrong climbed down the ladder to the surface of the moon.

sounds reasonble, whats yer point?\n\nhad he "split the moon" literally, the whole world would have known immediately

There was no photographer on the moon. NASA says the camera was a camera on an arm attached to the spacecraft that was deployed shortly before landing. The camera was also used by the crew of the lander to see the approaching moon to help them land.

1) Twelve 12 American astronauts have walked on the moon.\n\nApollo 11: Neil Armstrong & Buzz Aldrin\nApollo 12: Pete Conrad & Alan Bean\nApollo 13: << failed to land on the moon >>\nApollo 14: Alan Shepard & Edgar (Ed) Mitchell\nApollo 15: David Scott & James Irwin\nApollo 16: John Young & Charles Duke\nApollo 17: Eugene (Gene) Cernan & Harrison Schmidt\n\n\n2) What about the Van Allen radiation belts?  Wouldn't it have killed the astronauts?\n\nThe 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. \n\nThe 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*."\n\n"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.\n\n\n3) Why haven't we been back?  \n\na) 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.\n\nb) 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?\n\n\n4) The U.S. government scammed everyone?  \n\nIn 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.\n\nIf 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!\n\n\n5) What about the USSR?  \n\nEven 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.\n\n\n6) Why does the flag shake?  Where are the stars?\n\nTake a look at the first two websites listed below.  They deal well with all of the technical questions.\n\n\n7) Finally, please tell us what you would accept as definitive evidence that the six moon landings were real. Is there anything?

They have actually landed on the moon. Discovery Channel proved it, and the cost for shooting this all in studio was very high as compared to actually going on the moon. !!!!

First of all Come on you GUNNERS!!!\n\nI do hope that we did land on the moon cos i want to do it one day

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the moon on July 20,1969.  Ten others followed during the next 3 years.

I would have two large, EXTREMELY LARGE balls attached with a rather large string or steel cable or whathaveya. I would throw one ball in space and BAM it goes on forever!\n\n~or two quote someone, until it hits something.

I was glued to the TV for those days, I know it happened.  \n\nAs far as the flag waving thing, if you notice the flag is fixed along the top by a straight rod and loose on the bottom.  This is because there is no air on the moon to cause it to flutter around.  The astronauts couldn't get the little rod to extend fully, so it appears as if the flag is waving.  Really, it isn't.
