Is false that the man stayed on the moon? agree or disagree?

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.

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) Why haven't we been back?  \n\na) American astronauts visited the moon on six occasions.\n\nb) 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\nc) 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\n3) 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.

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\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?

Lots of things make people say that. There are pieces of evidence pointing in both directions (yes/no). I'm not sure what to believe, myself. I'm kind of leaning toward no, simply because the claims against the moon landing make sense, and the attempts to refute those claims don't sound very credible.\n\nBut honestly, I don't really care. Maybe we did, maybe we didn't. Unless you went yourself, or helped fake the whole thing, or are given adequate proof, you really can't know for sure.

Of course, we landed on the moon. C'mon, there would have had to been a massive conspiracy of hundreds of people employed at NASA and involved in the effort including hundreds of manufacturers and suppliers. There is no real debate.\nGo back? For what. It is a dead planet and we have learned what we need to know. The only reason to go back would to be to mine for valuable minerals which would be way to expensive at this point in time.

Yes, they walked on the moon. And yes, some people insist they did not--that it was all a huge conspiracy. You seem shocked at this, but remember, there are still folks maintaining that the Earth is flat or only 6,000 years old. (In fact, the flat-Earthers are one of the groups claiming the moon landing is a hoax--after all, the astronauts took photos showing a round Earth, and they know that isn't true, so it must be a hoax!) You don't actually expect evidence to convince people like this, do you? Any piece of evidence that we could present would simply be, to them, a part of the conspiracy. A good conspiracist can incorporate any piece of information into the big conspiracy without even blinking. \n\nThere have been several books written to promote this claim, and more articles. There was even a movie with a similar plot, Capricorn One, starring O.J. Simpson, among others (1977). The difference was that in the movie, the fake landing was for Mars, not the moon. One group of flat-Earthers actually claims O.J. was framed by the government for exposing the fake moon landings through his part in this movie! As Peter Huston, the writer and skeptic who mentioned this to me, deadpanned, "Apparently, the government moves slowly on framing its enemies."\n\nBob Mulford, of the Inquiring Skeptics of Upper New York, wrote a short article for the group's newsletter, The WHY-Files, discussing a recent book claiming the whole thing was a hoax. Apparently a reviewer in a technical magazine aimed at radio astronomers actually gave the book a more-or-less positive review! He noted that the reviewer bought into one of the author's arguments, saying it was obviously a hoax because the photos brought back by the astronauts showed their footprints in the moon's soil. The author claimed (and the reviewer apparently agreed) that dry sand doesn't leave footprints, and since we all know there is no water on the moon, that proves these photographs must have been faked on a movie set here on Earth. \n\nMulford points out in his article that the Moon's surface is not covered with beach sand. He notes: "On the earth, sand comes from rocks ground to small pieces by the ocean, or from rocks that were weathered by freezing water. In fact, a little thought shows we should not expect the Moon to be like an desert on the Earth. The astronauts reported that the Moon was covered by an extremely fine soil which compacted easily. They likened it to talcum powder. This soil was produced by a rain of micrometeorites that the Earth's surface is protected from by our atmosphere. It is easy to do an experiment that shows that this type of surface would leave nice footprints. I didn't have any talcum powder, but I did recently produce a large pile of fine dust from sanding spackling compound used to patch a plaster wall. It leaves nice footprints." Mulford adds: "Incidentally, if the Moon walks actually were a hoax carried out in an earthly landscape that looked like the Moon, it would have been done in a dry desert and we wouldn't see footprints in the photos." In other words, the author of that book provided evidence against himself rather than proving the moon landing was a hoax! \n\nIn 1994, the Fortean Times had an article calling the moon landing into question. The article began, "The idea that we went to the Moon--and that we were successful in our Apollo endeavours--is so firmly embedded in the cultural lives of most people on this planet, that to voice the opinion that this might be untrue smacks of paranoia." I can't argue with that! The article goes on to claim, "In actual fact, mankind has no proof at all that we ever set foot on the Moon, other than the photographs that NASA has elected to publish." Which is simply untrue. We have the photos, the video, the audio, the testimony of all the men and women who worked on the various projects, the samples brought back, e

"Moon Hoax" proponents claim that the Moon landings of Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969 and subsequent missions never happened, but were instead staged and pre-filmed on Earth. The idea grew significantly in popularity after the release of the movie Capricorn One (1978), which portrays a NASA attempt to fake a landing on Mars, implausibly using a Lunar Module, designed to land on the airless Moon, on a planet with an atmosphere.\n\nIt is possible that a brief sequence in the James Bond movie Diamonds Are Forever (1971) which appears to show a Moon landing being simulated, may coincide with some of the first suggestions of the landings being faked. British playwright Desmond Lowden wrote a play called The News-Benders in 1967 in which all major technological advances since 1945 were shown to have been simulated; the play was televised in January 1968 and showed a Moon landing faked with models.\n\nThe now-defunct Flat Earth Society lodged one of the earliest complaints about the veracity of the Apollo missions (Schadewald 1980) (also see the external link to the Flat Earth Society). They claimed the various "earthrise" photos from Apollo 8, with the Moon in the foreground and the Earth in the background, were fakes. The primary basis of their claim was that it did not square with their belief that the Earth is flat (Newsweek 1969).\n\nIn his book A Man on the Moon, Andrew Chaikin mentions that at the time of Apollo 8's lunar orbit mission in December 1968, such conspiratorial stories were in circulation as rumoured facts. The first published attempt to establish such claims as factual was Bill Kaysing's self-published book We Never Went to the Moon in 1974 (Plait 2002:157), although perhaps the best known is NASA Mooned America by Ralph Rene.\n\nHoax skeptics claim that the Moon landing hoax accusations are conspiracy theories — claims that conspirators in the possession of secret knowledge are misleading the public in pursuit of a hidden agenda. In the Moon Hoax's case the hidden agenda is the United States of America's eagerness to land on the moon before their space race rivals, the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (U.S.S.R.), who had beaten them into orbit by launching Yuri Gagarin into space in 1961, and achieved several other "firsts" in space exploration.\n\nTo know more about Issues and controversies please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_moon_landing_hoax_accusations

It was Neil Armstrong. The lander had multiple cameras on it.\n\nIf you think its a conspiracy theory, then you have your whacked out beliefs. ;-)

Well, you are right in one thing!\n\nWE didn´t land on the moon. \nNeil Armstrong did, and the other poor astronaut that for landing second on the moon got to never be remembered.\n\nWhat´s with the WE? \n\nBut getting serious with your question, there are some conspiracy theories about it.\nThey say that the USA knew of the Soviets plans to go the moon, and since we where in the middle of the Cold War, oppinion and image WAS EVERYTHING, so the USA mounted a Fake stage of the moon, launched a rocket and claim to be the first ones in the moon.\n\nThere has never been any evidence of the moon landing not ever taking place.

Dr. Jack Schm itt and Eugene Cernan left the moon at 21:33 UTC on December 17, 1972. They were the last two astronauts to visit the lunar surface. Dr. Schm itt was the first scientist-astronaut to land on the Moon, and is a geologist.\n \n\nCernan was actually the last man to step off of the Moon. From the NASA journal:\n"Cernan: Bob, this is Gene, and I'm on the surface; and, as I take man's last step from the surface, back home for some time to come - but we believe not too long into the future - I'd like to just (say) what I believe history will record. That America's challenge of today has forged man's destiny of tomorrow. And, as we leave the Moon at Taurus- Littrow, we leave as we came and, God willing, as we shall return, with peace and hope for all mankind. "Godspeed the crew of Apollo 17.""\n\nHere is the NASA lunar surface journal for the Apollo 17 mission:\nhttp://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/alsj/a17/a17.html\n\nGene Cernan wrote a book about the experience titled "The Last Man on the Moon":\nhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0312199066/qid=1127812744/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-3854888-7269644?n=507846%7CThe&s=books&v=glance

America 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. 9/11 conspiracy: the number of people it would've taken to pull off the largest mass murder in US history could fill one of the towers. 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? Again, we kept it secret by brain washing the thousands of workers who were in on the scam. \n\n6. 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\n7. 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\n8. America is a conspiracy and is a fake country and none of us Americans really live here. \n\n9. I was never born so this response to your question is a fake.

Think rally hard. The moon has gravity just like the earth. Have you ever seen a flag on earth stand that straight? They had a metal pole across the top and the grainy video make it look as if it is fluttering.

Neil Armstrong is the first man to walk on the Moon.  However, no man has ever stayed behind on the moon, as it would be a certain death sentence.

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.

I am a big project Apollo fan and have done a lot of reading into this over the years (including the conspiracies). Armstrong has never talked openly about the moonlandings in public and most of what is reported from him has been hearsay. One thing I did read is that he was meant to say 'That's one small step for A man, one giant....'. I read also that the lunar ladder to the surface had to be modified after the landing as it was too short.

Yes, he walked on the moon. Why would the gvt have spent all that money to pull off one big hoax? Money they didn't actually have in those days. Its not like today where a billion dollars is a drop in the bucket.\n\nI feel bad for Neil Armstrong. He walked on the moon and now some asshats are trying to say he didn't. It must feel terrible to have people doubt him.

The moon landings were real and there is overwhelming evidence for that fact. The "evidence" the hoax side always presents are truly laughable for those that have a little more knowledge in their brains than those that obsess about that Fox tv mokumentary. \nThey say that when the flag moves in some footage it is "proof" that it did so because it was blowing in the studio. What one can clearly see is the flag moving because an astronaut is moving it. \nAlso the absence of stars in the photos are supposed to be "proof" it is a fake. Anyone with a little knowledge of how a camera works can tell you why there are no stars. The moon is pretty bright. Right? In fact on the surface of the moon the sun shines twice as bright as it does on earth during the brightest of days. Now imagine standing in such intense light. If they had set their cameras to expose the, by comparison, extremely faint stars instead of the surface of the moon the film in the cameras would have recieved so much light the film would have melted, ruining the cameras. The purpose of the Apollo missions were to take pictures of the moon. Not the stars. We can take pictures of them from earth. Also stars would have been the easiest thing in the world to fake it the landing had been a fake. With a $25 billion budget you would think NASA could have afforded a script supervisor...\nI could go on and on and on but I have answered this question so many times. I wish people could just stop asking it. The only ones that claim the landings were fake are those that are really bored and have way too much time on their hands.
