I don't know(we don't know) if it really did land on moon or was it the biggest fool's day prank. But we are certainly required to give an answer when we are asked in examination papers.We cannot(unfortunately) answer with a question- hmmm.........so you really think it did land???\n(I wonder if Sherlock Holmes can help)

Cassini itself did not land. However, it was carrying the probe Huygens, which landed on Titan.

The Hubble Space telescope's maximum resolution is such that an entire Apollo landing site and exploration area are only 1/20th of a pixel. Hubble was designed with deep space astronomy in mind.\n\nEven the new OWL telescope (see Link 1) would only resolve the entire site to 2 pixels and would therefore not be enough to see the flag.\n\nIf your question is to prove that man actually walked on the moon then you need look no further than the Laser Reflector Experiment which constantly laser measures the distance between earth and moon. If the astronauts had never made it to the moon, they would not have been able to deploy these reflectors. (see Link 2)

There's always been heavy debate as to whether or not we've actually been to the moon, etc. and there is actual evidence that we haven't. maybe what you're seeing is a farce, maybe it's just some scientific anomaly. Who outside of the space program can say for sure?

I saw this live on TV when it happened.  The flag did move.  Armstrong and Aldrin had to stand it up.  When they stood it up, they started it swinging.  It is swung like a pendulum.  And, because there is no atmosphere on the moon, there is no air resistance to slow it down.  Simple science.

The most famous "fact" is the footage of the flag fluttering while its being placed on the moon surface. Since there is no air on the moon, there can't be any wind, so how did the flag flutter? Another one is that there is some sort of radiation belt between the Earth and the moon, and humans would not be able to pass through this belt without suffering serious damage. Besides, NASA had a LOT of money in the Apollo project. If it was faked, it was the greatest special effects ever created.

*sigh* Once again, I'll link to the Bad Astronomer page debunking the myth that the moon landings were a hoax, mostly for the benefit of mrkit99.\n\nAnd remember, as a rocket scientist I know said, "Of course the moon landings were real! Do you have any idea how much harder it would be to fake them than to actually go there?!?"

There was never a spaceship called Apollo 2.However,if you talk of Apollo 11 in which Armstrong and Aldrin made their journey the assistant was Michael Collins.

Did man really walk on the Moon ??? \n      \n   \nWeb Krishna.org \n \n\n\nDid man really walk on the Moon or was it the ultimate camera trick, asks David Milne? The greater lunar lie. In the early hours of May 16, 1990, after a week spent watching old video footage of man on the Moon, a thought was turning into an obsession in the mind of Ralph Rene. David Milne (04-07-06)\n\n"How can the flag be fluttering," the 47 year old American kept asking himself, "when there's no wind on the atmosphere free Moon?" That moment was to be the beginning of an incredible Space odyssey for the self-taught engineer from New Jersey. He started investigating the Apollo Moon landings, scouring every NASA film, photo and report with a growing sense of wonder, until finally reaching an awesome conclusion: America had never put a man on the Moon. The giant leap for mankind was fake. \n\nIt is of course the conspiracy theory to end all conspiracy theories. But Rene has now put all his findings into a startling book entitled NASA Mooned America. Published by himself, it's being sold by mail order - and is a compelling read. \n\nThe story lifts off in 1961 with Russia firing Yuri Gagarin into space, leaving a panicked America trailing in the space race. \n\nAt an emergency meeting of Congress, President Kennedy proposed the ultimate face saver, put a man on the Moon. With an impassioned speech he secured the plan an unbelievable 40 billion dollars. And so, says Rene (and a growing number of astro-physicists are beginning to agree with him), the great Moon hoax was born. \n\nBetween 1969 and 1972, seven Apollo ships headed to the Moon. Six claim to have made it, with the ill fated Apollo 13--whose oxygen tanks apparently exploded halfway--being the only casualties. \n\nBut with the exception of the known rocks, which could have been easily mocked up in a lab, the photographs and film footage are the only proof that the Eagle ever landed. And Rene believes they're fake. For a start, he says, the TV footage was hopeless. The world tuned in to watch what looked like two blurred white ghosts gambol threw rocks and dust. Part of the reason for the low quality was that, strangely, NASA provided no direct link up. So networks actually had to film "man's greatest achievement" from a TV screen in Houston--a deliberate ploy, says Rene, so that nobody could properly examine it. \n\nBy contrast, the still photos were stunning. Yet that's just the problem. The astronauts took thousands of pictures, each one perfectly exposed and sharply focused. Not one was badly composed or even blurred. As Rene points out, that's not all: \n\nThe cameras had no white meters or view finders. So the astronauts achieved this feet without being able to see what they were doing. \nThere film stock was unaffected by the intense peaks and powerful cosmic radiation on the Moon, conditions that should have made it useless. \nThey managed to adjust their cameras, change film and swap filters in pressurized clubs. It should have been almost impossible to bend their fingers. . \nAward winning British photographer David Persey is convinced the pictures are fake. His astonishing findings are explained alongside the pictures on these pages, but the basic points are as follows: \n\nThe shadows could only have been created with multiple light sources and, in particular, powerful spotlights. But the only light source on the Moon was the sun. \nThe American flag and the words "United States" are always brightly lit, even when everything around is in shadow. \nNot one still picture matches the film footage, yet NASA claims both were shot at the same time. \nThe pictures are so perfect, each one would have taken a slick advertising agency hours to put them together. But the astronauts managed it repeatedly. \nDavid Persey believes the mistakes were deliberate, left there by "whistle blowers", who were keen for the truth to on

Zero is the absolute wrong answer to your question.\n \nThere have been 12 Americans to walk on the Moon. The last person to step on the Moon was Harrison "Jack" Schmitt in December of 1972 aboard Apollo 17. He was the only scientist to ever go there. His Commander for the flight was Gene Cernan. Gene Cernan was actually the last person to be on the Moon because Jack Schmitt climbed back up into the Lunar Module first leaving Gene Cernan still on the surface. Mr. Cernan wrote a book called "The Last Man on the Moon" that I highly recommend reading. Another book called simply "A Man on the Moon" by Andrew Chaikin is probably the best one you can find on reading about all the people that made the trip. It's over 800 pages long (YIKES) and was then broken up into three separte picture books that shows you the actual pictures on the Moon as the author describes it. It's kind of like being there yourself!!!\n There are literally hundreds of thousands of photos from the six lunar landing missions that you can see at a number of NASA websites. \nDon't ever let anyone tell you that the Moon Landings were a hoax. For every "proof" that these people come up with to "prove" the hoax theory, there is a relatively easy explanation to shoot them down. Besides, there are 958[?] pounds of Lunar Rock that they brought back that thousands of scientists have examined and not one of them have ever said that any of these rocks and "soil" could have ever come from the Earth. The reason being that they have never been exposed to water on the inside or out which is quite impossible for Earth rocks. Plus several of them are older than any Earth rock that anyone has ever found!\nThree of these men are no longer with us, so there are only nine people alive that have walked on the Moon. He are there names, from the first to the last person on the Moon: Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin-Apollo 11, Pete Conrad (deceased)and Alan Bean- Apollo 12, Alan Shepard (deceased)and Ed Mitchell- Apollo 14, Dave Scott and Jim Irwin (deceased)- Apollo 15, John Young and Charlie Duke-Apollo 16, and finally Gene Cernan and Jack Schmitt- Apollo 17.

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.

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.

Men landed on moon during the times of space age race between Russia and USA. If it were a fraud, Russia would have been on top of it to bring it up. So, I guess it was confirmed that man really did land on moon and got rock samples back to earth. So i think it really happened. It can't be fraud. Ofcourse there is this talk about pictures taken by astronauts in moon that looks fake and all...but there are equally positive proofs of video and pictures taken on moon too. If you ask me, i think it is real.

Yes, there is quite a bit of equipment on the moon that was left behind during the six moon landings.  This inclues the "moon car", the descent stages of the Lunar Modules, and numerous experiments.\n\n And, there are several crash sites where the Saturn IV-B boosters were crashed intentionally onto the moon in order to produce seismic vibrations for the seismometers left on the moon by the astronauts.\n\nThe problem is that none of the equipment is large enough to be seen by telescopes.  At that distance, even the Hubble Space Telescope cannot resolve objects less that three or four meters in size.  Nothing we've left behind is large enough.\n\nP.S.  I think "spacejohn77" was referring to the article linked below.

"...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.

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
