I sometime beleave that it was hoaxed by the american to achieved the world people minds,it seemed like a cheating,escepecially at that time the world was to back at technology,it was easy to lie,i ask myself why  nearly 40 years till today no spaceship has ever just around it ,and on top of all we dont have,wide picture to show the moon look like,its a shame if you create a to much lie.

i do not beleive any man has ever landed on the moon and there are telescopes powerful enough to see the landing site but even if pics of that came about they would be faked too there is a belt of radioactive gas between the moon and the earth witch no man in a spaceship could pass ecsept neil armstrong of corse yeah right wheva u believe or not it doesnt matter the moon is a useless rock

I do not believe we have gone to the moon.. \nThe reason for this, purely is that technology back in the 60s-70s was not capable of making it to the moon. \n\nHell even today to go to the moon would be tough.. Sure we could get there, but to land, do the things that they claim they did back then (play golf, place the flag in the ground etc) and then to get back in that tiny little space capsule and make it back all the way to earth with enough air is outrageous. Not to mention all the radiation they would of encountered passing through the asteroid belt. According to NASA I think I read they are going to attempt another man mission to the moon in 2018. Why that long? Because they still have lots of kinks to work out and would not be able to fake it this time.\n\nIf you do a google or yahoo search on this subject you will see countless of articles on why man has not gone to the moon.. Just my two cents.

There have been documented cases of stigmata, but as for the other, I don't know.\n\nThere have been several documented cases of stigmata, and many others that were unable to be determined one way or the other - they could neither prove fraud, nor authenticate it.  But as there are people who believe the moon landing was a hoax, there will always be those who believe the stigmata is too.

Trust me they did, but let me give you some hoax's and then the explanation for them hey. I have picked 4 big ones that are fairly typical. Its a bit long, but please stick with me :)\n\n1) No stars in the photos:\n\nThe real reason is that when contrasted with the brightness of the astronauts and the lunar surface, the stars are just too dim to register on the photographic emulsion of the camera film. If the camera shutter were held open long enough for the stars to register, everything else would be over-exposed into a white featureless glare. \n\nYou cannot have both visible on the one photograph, so the camera was set for the correct exposure for Buzz Aldrin and the lunar surface, not the stars. When standing on the lunar surface the astronauts could not visually observe the stars in the dark sky, because of the surface glare, they could only see them when standing in shadow. By the same token, if we take a photograph outdoors at night from a brightly illuminated surface, our photograph also would not show any stars in the sky.\n\n2) The flags waving.\n\nThe flag is out and appears to be waving by an extendable rod running through the top of the flag, so that it can be viewed unfurled, and you can see the unnatural rigidity this gives to the top of the flag in the picture. The rod creates the effect of a breeze blowing the flag into that position. Without the supporting rod the flag would just hang limply down and would not reveal the stars and stripes. The rod is not extended the full width of the flag and it looks like a breeze is causing a ripple in the flag.\n\nIt has also been claimed that some video clips show the flag waving in the breeze when it was planted. Not so. The movement of the flag is only because when astronauts were planting the flagpole they rotated it back and forth to better penetrate the lunar soil.\n\n3) 'Wrong' shadows\n\nThe simple fact is that there is more than one light source. The light does not come directly from the Sun and illuminate only the one object in question, as a narrow beam spotlight would in a dark room. It shines on the entire daytime surface, just as it does here on Earth. Therefore it also illuminates the surface, the astronauts themselves, rocks, mountains, the Lander and all the other objects on the surface. \n\nThe reflections from these objects is why there is more than one light source, it is not because there was more than one spotlight used on a film set. It is also worth noting that on the lunar surface the reflected sunlight from the Earth is 68% brighter than that of the full Moon as seen from Earth. \n\nFor more on this question check out badastronomy.com/bad/tv/iangoddard/moon01\n\nAll the other fake photographs are explained just as easily with a little knowledge, and an understanding of how conditions on the Moon are very different to those here. With no atmosphere to scatter the light, things look a little odd on the Moon, we have a very black sky and a very bright surface. \n\nWe see strong shadows everywhere, and our sense of distance is also fooled because there is no atmosphere to produce the familiar atmospheric haze that creates a distance perspective on Earth. Furthermore, with the gravity being only a sixth of Earth's gravity, things move and behave differently as well. \n\nIt's hard to make straight comparisons, because we cannot, the Moon is just not like the Earth. We have to think differently when interpreting the images from the Moon, and that's what causes the problems, people are not allowing for those differences when looking at the lunar photographs. They are looking at them as if they were taken under normal Earth conditions, and concluding wrongly that there must be something wrong with the photographs.\n\n4) Why doesn't the Hubble Space Telescope provide proof hey\nThe equipment left over by the astronauts is just too small to be seen with the HST. Even the best image we have of the moon is taken of Copernicus crate

I'm not sure. I believe it is real though. Wish I had some solid proof to back it up. Perhaps we wont know for sure untill civilians are able to land freely on the moon and see for themselves. Until that happens fully, we just have to rely on faith.

you know in the 50´s or so Orson Welles did a radio show about the martians landing ,and every body believed that as well.just goes to show how gullable the Americans are,\n\nHas any one from the government or nasa come forward and attacked the allegations that the moon landing was false.\nno they havent so that tells you already.\n\nWe had a visitor from Nasa here last week where i am and he also thought that it was a big joke.\n\nI mean the flag was waving where there is no wind,no stars where there should have been millions,no flying dust or a crater beneath the rocket where the dust is supposed to be 1 metre deep\ntin tin was more realistic ,but it was still a good movie

it think it is a hoax... "The astronauts have kept out of the public eye", something happend. they were on their way to the moon, but i don't believe they have been on it! if you look around, read about it, it will become more clear. the pictures they have made don't match the actual event... i think they have been made in a hollywood studio. there has been pictures with some major mistakes, like the shadowing, footprints etc. everybody got his own opinion, and this is mine: it's a hoax.

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.

I know one thing, if you look at it on Google earth, its bloody huge so theres probably all kinds of stuff going on there that we dont know about. A friend told me its where the government take people that they've snatched and do lots of wierd alien derived surgery on them - but he's a basket case so i wouldn't pay attention to that - he also believes that father christmas is real, this wouldn't trouble me too much but he's 37.

It is a very sad statement about the population of the US that so many want to believe this sort of nonsense, and alien abduction etc. It is even worse when about 1/3 of the population does not know the earth orbits the sun, and a large fraction of US adults cannot locate the US on a globe. \n\nI will not dismiss out of hand all accounts of supernatural phenomenon, but most of it is explained by vagaries of the human mind and its processes, which is basically uncharted territory. If there are ghosts etc, where is the evidence?

Good grief -- I've only been visiting this site for a month, and this is about the fifteenth time someone has asked this same ludicrous question.\n\nYes, we landed on the moon. \nYes, we went back several times. \nYes, we left things on the moon that can still be seen today. \nYes, we left a flag on the moon -- but it wasn't flapping in the breeze in the famous photo: its momentum after being unfurled has kept it moving in the absence of anything to slow it down.\n\nYes, we brought back samples of dust and rocks that have been studied for nearly 40 years. And there's nothing like them anywhere on Earth.\n\nNo, we haven't gone back since the landings because there are no economically viable reasons to do so in this modern era of cost-effectiveness and the bottom line driving science. But just because we haven't been back doesn't mean we were never there in the first place.\n\nThe U.S. was in a major competition with the Soviets to prove our scientific superiority. If we'd never landed on the moon, and it was all a sham, do you think the thousands of NASA employees would be able to keep the secret? Do you think every other nation in the world would remain complicit in the "greatest hoax ever perpetrated"?\n\nIsn't there a FAQ on Yahoo Answers that could put this baby to rest??  I can't believe that people still think this was some kind of hoax!

its the most disastrous formula humans have ever concocted. gods are fake & politics are inherantly corrupt. we concentrate so much on these two silly notions that we failed to progress as a spiecies. theres an asteroid that will solve all our problems some day. had we focused on right than wrong, we could have stepped out of harms way.

One thing that makes me mad is all the STUPID people who make fun of the moon landings etc. Some MORONS actually believe they never took place, based on ridiculous assumptions that they have read on the Internet, rather than something their own tiny, ridiculously distorted intellect  could even begin to comprehend. Fortunately for some stupid, slack jawed lack-wits, this forum precludes me from actually telling the inbred intellectually challenged crossbreeds what I actually think of them.  For those brave enough to face the TRUTH that man did walk on the moon etc  go here http://www.clavius.org   I MEAN YOU 'PIXIE'  FFS are you so totally stupid as to not believe in Satellites etc. You should be locked away in the asylum for the clinically untreatable morons who believe any fact that they are told without question. As for the Van Allen belt.. ha ha ha ha.I am sick of explaining why that is not a show stopper, but very few people have the intelligence to understand, then again they are usually the gullible ones taken in by the conspiracy theory and incapable of autonomous thought.\n\nOh, and another thing! PIXIE, when you grow up, learn to spell. You do yourself and your fellow idiots no favours by spouting unsubstantiated rubbish, but also spelling what you write incorrectly!  YOU MORON  (Unless you are under 7 years of age then I apologise as you would know no better)

OF COURSE THE SEPTEMBER 11 INCIDENTS WHERE ACTUALLY FAKE JUST LIKE THE MOON LANDING . AMERICA AGAIN FOOLED THE WORLD.\n\nTHERE IS EVEN A VIDEO ABOUT THIS .\n\nTHE MAIN REASONS THAT THEY SAY ARE AS FOLLOWS\n\n1.THE AIRCRAFTS THAT STRIKED THE WTC TOWERS WERE NOT HAVING ANY WINDOWS WHICH CLEARLY SHOWED THAT THEY ARE NOT PASSENGER AIRCRAFTS . PROBABLY MILITARY CARGOS .\n\n2. WHEN THE VIDEO IS ZOOMED IN WE CAN CLEARLY SEE SOME THING THAT IS ATTACHED TO THE BELLY OF THE AIRCRAFT .NO PASSENGER AIRCRAFT WILL HAVE SOME THING THIS ATTACHED TO ITS FUSELAGE .WHICH CLEARLY SHOWS THAT IT IS NOT A PASSENGER AIRCRAFT .\n\n3. THERE IS AN SMALL EXPLOSION ON BOTH THE AIRCRAFTS JUST BEFORE STRIKING INSIDE THE WTC TOWER . THIS CAN BE CLEARY SEEN IF THE VIDEOS ARE ZOOMED . \n\n4.IN THE VIDEO THAT SHOWS THE PENTAGON ATTACK THERE IS NO AIRCRAFT AT ALL SHOWN IN THE VIDEO .ONLY A SUDDEN EXPLOSION IS SHOWN .ALSO THERE IS NOT EVEN A SINGLE PIECE OF AIRCRAFT WRECKAGE ON THE SITE EVEN IN THE VIDEOS THAT WERE TAKEN IMMEDIATLY AFTER THE INCIDENT .\n\n5.ALSO A STUDY HAS CONFIRMED THAT IF A BOEING 757 WITH THE SAID AMOUNT OF FUEL CRASHED INTO THE PENTAGON THE DAMAGE WOULD BE VERY MUCH MORE THAN THIS . ANALYSISTS HAVE CALCULATED THE IMPACT STRENGTH AND THE CAPABILITY OF THE MATERIALS WITH WHICH PENTAGON IS CONSTRUCTED .\n\nAMAERICA JUST WANTED A REASON TO ATTACK TALIBAN .\n\nOTHERWISE JUST IMAGINE , IF THE TALIBAN HAD BEEN ACTUALLY BEHIND THIS THEN THEY WOULD HAVE SURELY CLAIMED THE RESPONSIBILITY .\n\nGEORGE.W.BUSH IS A TRAITOR . HE EVEN FOOLED THE AMERICANS ALSO . JUST LIKE NASA FOOLED THE AMERICANS AND REST OF THE WORLD BY SAYING THAT THEY LANDED ON THE MOON AND SHOWED MANY FAKE VIDEOS .\n\nAMERICANS WILL HAVE REMEMBER ONE THING -- WHATEVER YOU DO -- SOME IS WATCHING IT FROM ABOVE -- GOD .YOU WILL BE PUNISHED .

No, the moon landing was not a hoax.\n\nOn one of the moon landings, the astronauts left a mirror on the surface of the moon which is being used even today to measure the distance between the earth and moon with lasers.\n\nWhat is the point of sending more people there?  We've developed robotics to the point where unmanned probes can go more cost effectively, with lower risk to human life, and they can stay longer.  Take the Mars rovers.  They've been on Mars roaming around for more than a year, collecting samples, taking pictures, measuring the soil and atmosphere.  They don't require food or water.  They don't get lonely for their loved ones.  If the "die", no one will mourn them.  Frankly, it makes little sense to send someone to the Moon (again) or Mars to perform these tasks.\n\nBut, back in the 60's, robotics were not so sophisticated.  Sending a person to do the job made more sense.  A human could control the space craft.  A human could make course corrections.  A human could pick up rocks, put them in a bag, and bring them back.  Yeah, the technology was primitive, but primitive technology has not stopped humans from doing amazing things.

I don't think you can believe it at all. It was all made up by L Ron Hubbard. It is a science fiction story . Unfortunately some people will believe anything.

There are a lot of reasons that the moon landings were not hoaxes:\n\n1. We have a lot of photographic and video evidence. \n2. We have many pounds of unique rocks from the lunar surface\n3. We left a corner cube reflector on the surface of the moon to reflect laser light (for measuring distance to the moon) that is still there and still being used.\n4. There would have to be a uniquely successful coverup, given the thousands and thousands of people involved\n5. All of the reasons that people quote to support a hoax theory have been addressed conclusively\n\nFor all these reasons, and many more, there is very little chance that the moon landing was a hoax.
