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)

all questions about the six apollo lunar landings being fake are non-sense.  nasa got a huge amount of evidence to prove that twelve americans have stepped onto lunar soil, and there is no evidence at all that says they didn't.\n\nthere are six american flags on the moon.  each one has a sleeve across the top.  the flagpole is hinged, and the hinged  part goes thru the sleeve at the top of the flag.  the flags did not wave.  the flags sometimes swung from these rods when the astronauts put the flags on the moon because they moved them from side to side at times and the flags lagged behind some and had to catch up with the rods.\n\nhttp://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/AS11-40-5874HR.jpg\nhttp://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/AS11-40-5875HR.jpg\n\nhere is a photograph of the flag at the apollo 11 landing site.  you can clearly see the rod in the sleeve across the top of the flag.

QUOTE-----"The photo must be by telescope from the Earth to the moon! If no one can find any recent photos then the moon landings are a massive hoax!"\n\nTo remind u and other readers...we CAN'T see the lunar rover or whatsoever using our telescope on earth.No matter how BIG the telescope is, we still CAN'T see it because of atmospheric blurring.\n\nEven HUBBLE can't see it...because that landing site (flag and all that) is so SMALL.... and MOON is MOVING so fast.\n\nIt's just like trying to see a COIN when you are travelling with an AEROPLANE high in the SKY\n\nDID U GET IT? OR U NEED ME TO REPEAT IT AGAIN?

Notice that Phil Plait says this… "Let me state here that I am not a NASA employee, and anything I say, pretty much ever, is not the official word from NASA! I always speak for no one but myself."\n\nNotice that Phil Plait has a book to sell … http://www.badastronomy.com/book/index.html\n\nNotice that he has shirts to sell (bottom left, under the menu) … "Keep Bad Astronomy close to your heart, and help make me filthy rich." (you would think he would rephrase this in a little more professional way?)\n\nYou cannot take the word of one individual who's goal is to profit. When something doesn't add up, when there is compelling evidence stating something is wrong (such as the moon hoax) then you must gather this information and research it yourself and come to your own conclusions. Don't believe everything you read or hear (even from your own government) because people have their own agendas!

Yes it is  well documented that we did.\nIt really would have been impossible to fake. and even more impossible to conceal a hoax of that magnitude for this long.\n\nThere is a vast deal of technology that came from the space  program .\nThe Apollo spacecraft was seen during its trans-Lunar coast by observers on Earth. Amateur astronomers were able to sight the spacecraft, exactly where they should have been, during the trans-Lunar coast and amateur radio operators were able to listen-in on the command module in Lunar orbit. The explosion of Apollo 13 was caught on video tape by an amateur astronomer. Russia and radio telescope observatories not owned or controlled by the USA also tracked the Apollo spacecrafts and transmissions.

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?

Try the link below. \nHere's some of what they're up to:\nVery High Resolution Coverage\n\nConcurrent with the global project effort is the task of digitizing and archiving many of the near-side, low altitude photography. LO mission III photographed areas primarily to locate and confirm suitable landing sites for the Apollo program (designated as primary (P) and secondary (S) sites). The most promising landing sites were certified during LO mission V, which also imaged a number of sites of scientific interest. Ground resolutions for both data sets ranged from 1 - 40 m.

NASA DOES NOT KNOW.\neveryone is only guessing.\nthere is no specific,absolute proof.\nit's all assumptions.

C'mon!!! Surely your comrades in the mighty KGB can tell you that??? You don't need Yahoo Answers to help you. The KGB's supposed to know all this!

ALLLLRIGGGGHHHTTTYYYY Then.\n\nHaven't heard anything about that.  you got a web address for that info?\n\nI have heard about a moon base where the American Government is setting up a first strike base to ward off alien visitors. can't remember the actual web site but it was from the Canadian former prime minister and was published in Canadian news papers January 2006.

alright man, just go to www.st911.org. I believe there is a list on www.911truth.org. It will blow your mind.

I watched an old episode of "Unsolved Mysteries" recently and asked myself the same question.  From this show it came to appear that there was substantial evidence to prove that the Roswell Theory from back then via a private memo was adequate but never became public.  Within that memo it stated that there was subsequent evidence to believe that an alien force had landed and died from being ejected from the craft.  but it also stated too that the craft looked that to be that of a blown down weather balloon.  Now if it was a coverup by our government, one will never know unless you were either there back in 1947, can get close to where they actually have them hidden today, and know who did the covering up of the story to prevent it from being publicized.  Plus we don't really know if they are amongst us right now.  If by some odd chance they are, these beings are either like us in actions and emotion or they are just figmented imposters to impose our brains into a non ethical world of panic.  I am sure someday it will all be evident but until then keep your fingers crossed that someone tells the truth.

They DID land on the moon. See the sources.

While I've never heard that, I don't doubt that it was said. But it is false. Rumors like that start all the time. There has never been anything found on the moon. No alien structures, no "glass domes", nothing like that. Maybe they were seeing a weird inactive volcano of something. I don't know what it actually was, because like I said I've never heard that.

"The Apollo 13 malfunction was caused by an explosion and rupture of oxygen tank no. 2 in the service module. The explosion ruptured a line or damaged a valve in the no. 1 oxygen tank, causing it to lose oxygen rapidly. The service module bay no.4 cover was blown off. All oxygen stores were lost within about 3 hours, along with loss of water, electrical power, and use of the propulsion system. \n\nThe oxygen tanks were highly insulated spherical tanks which held a "slush" of liquid oxygen with a fill line and heater running down the center. The no. 2 oxygen tank used in Apollo 13 (North American Rockwell; serial number 10024X-TA0008) had originally been installed in Apollo 10. It was removed from Apollo 10 for modification and during the extraction was dropped 2 inches, slightly jarring an internal fill line. The tank was replaced with another for Apollo 10, and the exterior inspected. The internal fill line was not known to be damaged, and this tank was later installed in Apollo 13. \n\nThe oxygen tanks had originally been designed to run off the 28 volt DC power of the command and service modules. However, the tanks were redesigned to also run off the 65 volt DC ground power at Kennedy Space Center. All components were upgraded to accept 65 volts except the heater thermostatic switches, which were overlooked. These switches were designed to open and turn off the heater when the tank temperature reached 80 degrees F. (Normal temperatures in the tank were -300 to -100 F.)"
