NASA deceive to us so that its reputation raised and they stayed as the first and best the world? or just to get more money for their research?

"and why if they went to the moon, the flag was moving, ther eis no wind in space."\n\nNASA spent the big bucks on this one.  They wanted to leave a flag on the moon, but one problem.  There is gravity on the moon, but no air, and no wind.  So the flag would flop, just like a windless day.\n\nSo they wanted the flag to hang unfurled without wind.  So they put a bar across the top of the flag, so that it would stretch out.  They also put a weight in the lower outside corner, also to stretch it out.  When the flag was released, the weight moved back and forth, like a pendulum, causing a waving motion in the flag.\n\nSorry to disappoint, but we really were there.

some say that the apollo missions to the moon were fake so that america could win the space race. also because their is really no interset on the moon for us except moon rocks. we can study the craters from earth. NASA and other space researchers in the world are planning missions to mars, and unmanned space explorations of other planets.

Right now NASA is looking for the Unknown. \n\nI mean Come on!  \nIf we told you more it wouldn't be Top Secret.

He's talking nonsense. First off NASA would never fire anyone for not being a christian, even back then. Second off, I grew up a county away from where Neil Armstrong is from (wapakoneta, Ohio) so he was touted as a local hero, we learned more about him than most do. He had a career after the moon landing and retired normally. The only thing odd about him is that he is very reclusive today and hardly ever comes out to speak with the press.

Why do morons insist on making something out of absolutely nothing?!  OF COURSE WE LANDED ON THE MOON!  Do you think all those incredible images from space were a hoax as well?!  Ask Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and all the men who have been on the moon to show you their private photos and to share their recollections!  Must we continue to perpetuate these ignorant and unfounded stories of hoaxes??!!  Take a deep breath, switch to decaf, and join the REAL world!!  ANY of our satellites can pinpoint EXACTLY where each of the remnants of our Apollo landing equipment is, and all the flags and instruments that were left behind!!  For God's sake, people: remove the poles that have long been residing in your rear ends, as well as the remnants of retardation that were left behind in your brains!!!

First off... if they really did land on the moon... how in the world and why in the world would they lose the original footage of the moon landing. Wouldn't that footage have been a coveted prize from our early space exploration???  Of course it would have... NASA losing that footage so that it can no longer be tested or viewed should be a big hint for those who still believe the moon landing to be true.  The footage of Neil Armstrong's historic moment is one of the most important artifacts of the 20th century.  Therefore, who would benefit from losing the footage???  and more importantly, what would they gain??? \n\nSecond, consider the fact that they could not land back onto Earth after they returned from the lunar mission... however, they expect us to believe that they could land on the moon and then take back off from the moon... BUT... they would then have to land in the ocean when they returned. If we didn't have the technology to LAND back on Earth... how in world could we have done everything else that they stated they did. Sadly, our technology was definitely in its infancy stage in 1969 and hasn't even progressed enough at this time to undertake a lunar mission.  Notice how NASA is hoping for a lunar mission by 2018... why the long wait?  I personally think that they are being forced to wait since "the average Joe" now has the technology and capabilities to view and evaluate the whole mission from start to finish... and therefore, they can't fake anything.

well to get the exact truth to this question is not going to come from here but  i can give my honest opinion which has to to with alot of things.  at first, they might have kept it a secret for the intentions of protecting us since they probably didnt know how to handle it themselves.  but as time went on the reasons im sure changed to hide the things that they know the american public would not be content with(agreements and treaties with the aliens, technology, allowing the aliens to abduct human in exchange for technology, etc.).  also there are things happening today that are a result or are related to subjects like this, such as the push for the NWO-New world Order.

Because it was mostly for show. Remember, the Americans went to the moon in the times of the cold war. It was a show of power - getting there before the soviets. Once they did, it was decided after a few years that the money trown at each trip wasn't worth it. Congress doesn't exactly go giddy with the possibility of great scientific discovery and they're the ones who give out the money.\nNASA has plans of going back to the moon in about 10 years time, including possibly building a permanent station there in the (relatively) near future. But a long time has been lost. Also, given the world situation these days hte best to do this is with joint internation efforts. If everybody can just keep their own personal interest out of it, so it can remain purely scientific, everything will be just peachy.

Science is about opportunism. Dwarves standing on the shoulders of midgets. \n\nPersonally, I have no problem with advancement via Universities or specialist institutes. However, the influence of the benefactors is all too apparent in the world of academia. Multinational corporations have far too much say in where science is going. Of course scientists are not without integrity. Indeed, to use the Human Genome project as an example, not-for-profit altruism has come into direct conflict with the profit margin - known as the "let's patent this just in case it does something that benefits humanity, so we can make some quick bucks from it" approach. \n\nI begin to suspect the meek will not inherit the earth until the rich and powerful have destroyed it.

They DID land on the moon. See the sources.

The world has a "been there done that" philosophy. They think its cool that we can go into space but they're a little more preoccupied with their own lives right here on earth and the problems surrounding them. \n\nRoutine missions in space do not have that "sensationalism" that attracts the human eye. Announce that they've found aliens on Mars and they'll pay attention. Otherwise why do they care about finding a new star they'll never have access to out of the billion and one stars they can see in the sky each night, or looking at endless pictures of landscape and gas deposits. Woo sign me up X_X\n\nOn a slightly less respectable note, NASA is also the organization who wasted millions of dollars because they created architectural plans for a space project using metric measurements and then didn't stop to make sure the BUILDER used the same measurements until after it went belly up. Talk about an embarassment and losing respect. They're supposed to be the brainiacs!

I think if the astronauts know all this.. and are still willing to, they may as they please.. but in my opinion it's not worth it.. they should jsut keep sending satelite's up there and learn more information about mars and other information they want.

Wow! Impressive! NASA would love to learn your techniques!  Save tax payers a lot of money they could use elsewhere.  How do you help us change our lives like you have changed yours?  Man, that would turn my head around.

Yes. Man landed on the moon. Man has flown in space ships and lived in habitats in space. There was also an effort to irradicate Jewish people, it was the Halocaust. This is all part of History. No pseudo-intellectuals can change that no matter how hard they try. People should put their efforts into making the present and future better instead of making up lies about the past.

space research is just a research to locate more speific life beyond our planet. However the people do not care about whats happening in our planet. Diseases are spreading killing almost a million or more each year, and economic losses due to spending money on useless things rather then useful things like charity or helping the homeless kids in all parts of the world. Africa and India is mainly homeless children, where at least a child dies every sec due to diseases or other serious conditions. Money is the only thing that could buy these children homes and food n other basic needs of life then people should be helping not spending money on space research where they are not helping anybody with anything. First they consider saving their own planet then beyond the planet. thats all =)

You also need to consider the economic effects of funding basic research.  The moon missions of the 60's inspired an entire generation and helped to move many kids toward careers in science and engineering.  As a result, the US was well poised to take advantage of the huge boom in information technology in the last few decades.  The net effect of these engineers in the workforce could be see has a pretty impressive return on investment for the cost of those missions.

"...was nasa lying about neil armstrong going to the moon?..."\n\nNo, definitely not. It's unbelievable how many people prefer to accept the half-baked, erroneous "proofs" that show men never landed on the moon to the undeniable scientific facts that prove we did. Take the time to read the facts on this non-governmental website ==> http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/tv/foxapollo.html\n\n"...the technology is much greater today than 1965, so why cant we go up there again?..."\n\nYes, our technology has greatly advanced since 1969, but at this time we simply don't have the necessary hardware to put men back on the moon---no Saturn-like boosters, no life-support systems required for manned lunar voyages, no lunar landing equipment, etc.,. It's true that we could build all the necessary equipment, but a number of factors discourage further manned lunar exploration--the space race is over, the American public has lost interest in the moon, and NASA's budget is far below the levels needed to ramp up again for manned lunar flights.
