Yes. Man landed on the moon. Man has flown in space ships and lived in habitats in space. There was also an effort to irradicate Jewish people, it was the Halocaust. This is all part of History. No pseudo-intellectuals can change that no matter how hard they try. People should put their efforts into making the present and future better instead of making up lies about the past.

they didn't 1969. Sure think about it - how could they have? It was just a conspiricy to show up russians because they had got a man in space. That was the great thing that happened. The first real person on the moon was not until 1974.

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?

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.

126 in space 12 have walked on the moon

I'm going to guess you mean Apollo 13.  Here they are:\n\nJames A. Lovell (flew on Gemini 7, Gemini 12, Apollo 8 and Apollo 13), commander \n\nJohn Swigert (flew on Apollo 13), command module pilot (replacing original CMP, Ken Mattingly) \n\nFred Haise (flew on Apollo 13), lunar module pilot

Astronauts - Glenn, Schirra, and Carpenter. The other dead are, Grissom, Cooper, Slayton and Shephard.

No - (let me guess all you people who think we did will give me a thumbs down !!!!)\n\n- My old pocket calculator has more power than the computers used 'to get to the moon'\n- photographic evidence\n- the camrea evidence\n- if they got there, why did they then just 'stop'\nand not sent many other missions there / set up a research station etc\n\nI do, however, think that they DID get there years later - after all what would happen if a space craft passed over and there was no moom buggy, footprints & flag.\n\nIQ ? HAH !!!! IQ does not measure important things like common sense, creative thinking, social skills etc etc\n(and YES I do know mine - its above average I just choose to dismiss it)

twelve americans have stepped onto the lunar soil. they are, in order, neil a armstrong and edwin e aldren (apollo 11), charles conrad and alan bean (apollo 12), alan b shepard and edgar d mitchell (apollo 14), david r scott and james b irwin (apollo 15), john w young and charles m duke (apollo 16), and eugene a cernan and harrison h schmidt (apollo 17).\n\nthe second was edwin e aldren.

Several people have written books trying to disprove our landing on the moon.  I have not actually researched this, but for one thing, supposedly there is no dust on the moon like the ton of dust our astraunats walked through that day.  The photos have been disputed as made up and I believe our corupt government is capable of pulling this off.....)(

China has Started a manned Space programme and has said it's aim is to land on the Moon.\n\nSo the Yanks will Try to get get there first.\n\nBut their Space programme is still not up and running properly since the Columbia disaster.

*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?!?"

Yes. First lunar landing was in July, 1969. \nCheck NASA website and google for landing on moon.

none *in* the moon, but 12 have landed *on* the moon.\n\nsee link below for pix of the famous 12.
