Americans On The Moon?

yeah men, pointing itself, no dust over the legs on landing, no proves at all, and we already know that with the tecnology of the 60 it will be a surprise if they could be able just to hit the moon with the rocket, actually, many years later still Nasa was proving materials to suport speed over MATCH, and plus the space clothes...for God sake...really...the most expensive and bad movie ever...

To answer this question we need to look at why we went to the moon in the first place.  In 1957 the USSR launched Sputnik into space, and the space race began.  President Kennedy gave his 1961 Inaugural Address ("And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country.") and sparked an interest for the United States to beat the USSR.  We made it to the moon first with Apollo 11.  The USSR eventually lost power and collapsed.  The United States was the only world power and didn't have any competition in space.  In the past 5-10 years, other countries have started taking an interest in space.  Japan, China, and the European Union all have plans to continue their space programs, and will eventually start to have manned missions.  The United States will then have to react and restart the space program and send people to the moon and beyond.  One important thing to note about the upcoming space race is that it will not only be for military research, but also for industry.  We will have to have manned missions throughout the solar system to start and maintain the mining of resources that will happen in the coming decades and centuries.  Unless Japan, China, or the European Union have massive leaps in technology, the United States will put it's 2020 Moon Goal on the way side because of expenses and lack of monetary return.

The Mercury Program was first, testing the ability of humans to operate complex machines in space.  Then came the Gemini Program, which tested how two spaceships could rendezvous (come together and dock) and how astronauts could perform spacewalks, both important for landing on the moon.  The Apollo program was next, which after a ground failure and four successful non-moon-landing flights, landed on the moon in 1969.\nThere is another answer to this question, since you're looking for the first stage in THE space program to send Americans to the moon.  There is currently a program called "Constellation", or simply "Exploration", whose first vehicle will be the Crew Exploration Vehicle, or CEV.  This program is designed to take Americans to the moon, and the CEV is the first stage.

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

Lemme see, the thousands of technicians, military personnel and site seers on top of casinoes in Vegas only witnessed cloud plumes blown by giant exhausts.\n\nAmerica did not land on the Moon. We payed billions of dollars for the 360 foot Saturn 5 rocket so we could look at it and say wow that is a big rocket. We kept approx. 400,000 technicians, scientists and construction contractors quiet, with zero leaks to the public. The rocks that we thought that came from moon and have proved to be from the moon are really from the Pacific Ocean. \n\nOther Conspiracies to think about: \n\n1. The Jews did not suffer in Germany because there was no Holocaust. Actually it was the Jews that was torturing the poor blond haired deprived Germans. Those tattoos on the Jews arms and hands that are still alive today (by the grace of God) are really there because they want to be hip. \n\n2. We knew the Japanese were going to bomb Pearl Harbor before they did. I mean come-on President Roosevelt liked the thought of our boys baking inside the Battle Ship Arizona before they died. The President was looking for a better way to get a good nights sleep. \n\n3. The Mafia whacked JFK, via the Russian connection, via the Cuban connection.  The man on the grassy knoll was a CIA agent acting on orders from Giancana from Chicago and Marcello from New Orleans, all with communications with Kruschev.\n\n4. Aliens landed in Roswell and we transported them to Area 51 to back engineer their technology, where do you think the stealth air craft came from? Again, we kept it secret by brain washing the thousands of workers who were in on the scam. \n\n5. The Moon we see every night is really not there along with the planets and stars as well the Planet Killing Asteroids. Those were put there by the evil United States to toy with our minds. \n\n6. Fossils of early homosapiens, homoerectus and earlier models were put their by evil paleontologists, athropoligists, and assorted rock hounds looking to enhance their careers, Creation is the real objective reality. \n\n7. America is a conspiracy and is a fake country and none of us Americans really live here. \n\n8. I was never born so this response to your question is a fake.

Yes man landed on the moon. The flag was not waving in any kind of breeze. The flag had a wire in it so that it appeared to be standing out in a breeze. NASA thought that would look better than a flag simply lying flat against a pole. Really now, if NASA was bright enough to pull off this kind of conspiracy, don't you think they would have had enough sense to make sure a flag didn't move.

Yes. President Bush recently announced the intent for NASA to land on the moon. If you listen to recent podcasts or read the stories from Science @ NASA (see the source below), you will find what goes into their planning to return to the moon.\n\nThose of you who wonder if it's a waste of time: the more we know about the moon, the more we know about Earth. The more we know about our planet, the easier it is to make life better.

Yes, I believe man has really visited the moon. Propaganda for what purpose? To beat the Russians? Please don't drink any kool-aid.

YOU ARE RIGHT.\nAmerica is making fool, they never landed on moon, it is all fake story.

How about the great moon hoax? United States of America faked all the landings on the moon in the late 60's and early 70's to scare the Russians from messing with us. \n\nOr the one where the US government has crashed two planes into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon, and faked a crash landing in PA?

Of course they went. In 1969 it would have been harder to fake then actually have gone.\nI'm sick of that flag waving on the moon rubbish it did not and never waved in the wind there is no atmosphere on the moon so how can there be wind,numbnuts.\nGo back to your sheep taffy.

Do you think the present administration is competent enough to pull off the largest scam in history? The Watergate and Enron capers were known by a handful of people and the secrets were leaked. So how did the 9/11 keep thousands of people's lips sealed?\n\n4. The Mafia whacked JFK, via the Russian connection, via the Cuban connection. The man on the grassy knoll was a CIA agent acting on orders from Marcello of New Orleans with complicity of the then Boss of Boss Giancana in Chicago. Ruby whacked Oswald to seal the path to the Mafia, he was a two-bit night club owner in Marcello's outfit...true story.\n\n5. Aliens landed in Roswell and we transported them to Area 51 to back engineer their technology, where do you think the stealth air craft came from?

Because the US has landed people on the moon........ in the 60s I believe........ do your research.

No one else had flown around the moon. \n\nIts analogous to Lindy's flight across the atlantic. It may seem like they didn't accomplish much in hindsight, but consider the time -- no on from this planet had ever even approached another astronomic body. Much less, had anyone orbited it.\n\nThose of us who remember Apollo 8 (I think I was about 10) know the exhilaration of knowing the US had beat the pants off the Soviets. Star Trek was in its first season - good God, put it in perspective. We had 3 goddamn TV channels.

Yes. Neil Armstrong and others have really walked on the moon.  They even left a mirror on the surface which, over 30 years later, we still use to measure the distance between the earth and the moon.
