Arm Strong or The Camera man who was first on the moon?
831742
Actually, what happened was that Buzz was supposed to be the first one to touch the moon. But Armstrong beat him into the suit, so he stepped out first. Buzz had the camera and yes came out after him. What they did, and really I dont know why ppl havent considered this because it is so obvious, but what they did was they went back and filmed Armstrong coming out of the capsule. Then, when they left, they parked the rover in a spot where the camera on the rover (which NASA controlled) could film them leaving. But seriously folks... this has been beaten around the bush enough, leave it alone, because we will all know the truth in 2015 when we go back. Have patience!

After 2 hr and 33 min in Earth orbit, the S-IVB engine was reignited for acceleration of the spacecraft to the velocity required for Earth gravity escape. \n\nLunar-orbit insertion began at 75:50 ground elapsed time (GET). The spacecraft was placed in an elliptical orbit (61 by 169 nautical miles), inclined 1.25 degrees to the lunar equatorial plane. At 80:12 GET, the service module propulsion system was reignited, and the orbit was made nearly circular (66 by 54 nautical miles) above the surface of the Moon. Each orbit took two hours. Photographs taken from lunar orbit provided broad views for the study of regional lunar geology.\n \nThe lunar module (LM), with Astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin aboard, was undocked from the command-service module (CSM) at 100:14 GET, following a thorough check of all the LM systems. At 101:36 GET, the LM descent engine was fired for approximately 29 seconds, and the descent to the lunar surface began. At 102:33 GET, the LM descent engine was started for the last time and burned until touchdown on the lunar surface. Eagle landed on the Moon 102 hr, 45 min and 40 sec after launch.\n\nImmediately after landing on the Moon, Armstrong and Aldrin prepared the LM for liftoff as a contingency measure. Following the meal, a scheduled sleep period was postponed at the astronauts' request, and the astronauts began preparations for descent to the lunar surface.\n \nAstronaut Armstrong emerged from the spacecraft first. While descending, he released the Modularized Equipment Stowage Assembly (MESA) on which the surface television camera was stowed, and the camera recorded humankind's first step on the Moon at 109:24:19 GET. A sample of lunar surface material was collected and stowed to assure that, if a contingency required an early end to the planned surface activities, sam

The first moon landing by a human was that of American Neil Armstrong, Commander of the Apollo 11 mission. On July 20, 1969, while their teammate Michael Collins controlled the command module "Columbia," Armstrong, accompanied by Buzz Aldrin, landed the lunar module, "Eagle" on the surface of the moon at 4:17 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. This article covers the events immediately surrounding the successful moon landing.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_landing

I think they did it. A friend of mine directed me to lunaranomalies.com and they had some interesting theories, yet each of these amateur theories were disproved. Look at it this way. In 1969 the americans and the russians were locked in a desperate bid to get into orbit and ultimately the moon. "Journey beyond selene" by Jeffery Kluger brilliantly documented this. The russian premier publicly mocked the americans and their various failures at even hitting the moon with a basic rocket. Enter 1969 and the pictures of Aldrin and Armstrong on the moon. No comment from Russia. They didn't even televise it. If there was even a hint of evidence that it was faked, the russians would have been all over it like a rash. If it was faked they did a really good job. A secret like that could never be kept, and not one reputable scientist has challenged it. All we have are diehard and paranoid lay people looking for attention. If you look up Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin on the net you might find some hilarious footage of the day he left a conference to be accosted by one such person. He knocked him flat with one punch! Hilarious. Selene is the greek word for moon.

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.

Pictures from low orbit were taken by the Russian and American astronauts in the early 60's.\n\nBut the most impressive picture was taken in 1968 by the Apollo 8 astronauts: the first  photograph of the Earth from deep space.\n\nhttp://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap051224.html

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

Yuri Gagarin was the first person in space, and Alexei Leonov was the first to walk in space (EVA).\n\nThe first American in space was Alan Shepard, and the first American EVA was Ed White.

No. Picture-taker stood on the ladder just outside the hatch.  Flag was held out by stiff wires.  There was no space shuttle at the time of the moon landing.

Armstrong, Neil Alden \n \n1930—, American astronaut, b. Wapakoneta, Ohio. A U.S. Navy fighter pilot during the Korean War, Armstrong subsequently became a test pilot for what was then the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics in 1955. In 1962, already a veteran of the X-15, Armstrong became a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) astronaut and served as command pilot of the Gemini 8 mission. As commander of Apollo 11 (July 16—24, 1969), he was the first person (July 20 EDST) to step on the moon, saying: "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." He taught aeronautical engineering at the Univ. of Cincinnati from 1971 to 1979. In 1985, President Reagan appointed Armstrong to the National Commission on Space and in 1986 named him vice chairman of a panel to investigate the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger earlier that year

As others mentioned, Neil Armstrong's first words on the Moon were, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."\n\nIf you read that closely, the phrase seems a little contradictory.  That's because Neil Armstrong meant to say, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."  It took him a long time to accept that he'd actually ommitted the 'a'.\n\n--But he knew what he said. "There must be an 'a', " Mr. Armstrong says of the event in the 1986 book Chariots for Apollo. "I rehearsed it that way. I meant it that way. And I'm sure I said it that way." \n\nThen the Grumman representative, Tommy Attridge, put on a commemorative 45-rpm recording of the flight. No matter what speed they played it at, there was no "a". \n\nAccording to the authors, Mr. Armstrong sighed, "Damn, I really did it. I blew the first words on the moon, didn't I?" --\n\nFlubbing his line is a little understandable, since he'd been up for 24 hours straight.  Originally, the astronauts were supposed to sleep in the lunar lander to rest up for the first excursion on the surface of the Moon.  Right .... like they'd really be able to sleep when they're so close to being the first humans to set foot on the Moon.  The astronauts argued for an immediate trip outside and, considering the likelihood they would actually get much sleep, NASA gave in.\n\nIn any event, most people understand what he meant, since it wouldn't make sense to say it was both a small step for man (generically) and a giant leap for man (generically).
