How did someone get pics. of the 1st man on the moon? Wouldnt the picture taker be the 1st person on the moon?

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.

No a human cannot make the picture of any personality on the moon,if it was possible then NASA people will make their resepective leaders.Only God can do this and He has done to guide the humanity through a personality called promised Messiah Gohar Shahi. His picture has appeared in the moon.NASA also has certifed,if somebody has doubt investigate through different live and latest pictures of the moon and also visit www.goharshahi.com to know the reality and God's sign for humanity.

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.

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

On July 20, 1969, Commander Neil Armstrong became the first man on the moon. He said the historic words, "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."\n\nA camera in the Lunar Module provided live television coverage as Neil Armstrong climbed down the ladder to the surface of the moon.

To be annoyingly specific, there was no last person to *land* on the moon... Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmidt touched down together in the Apollo 17 Lunar Module at *exactly* the same moment. Cernan was, however, the last person whose foot left the lunar soil when he was lat to climb back into the LM. Then the two of them departed at the same moment to return to lunar orbit and dock with Ron Evans in the orbiting Command Module.

They DID land on the moon. See the sources.

many reasons, the prop rock C.  in one of the pictures, you can clearly see the letter C on one of the fake rocks.  another is if you take the film up they used in the moon landing, you would need a 2 foot thick led box to protect the film from the magnetic forces in the atmosphere.  they didn't even know about this, but in the ninety's they sent up a probe to get pictures, and when they got them back, there was nothing on it, becuase the magnetic forces in the atmosphere erased them.  they never landed on the moon.\n\nalso, the week that they were suppose to be up there, the sun sent out a solar flare that would have cooked the astronauts in one hour.  solar radiation.  how could have the astronauts be out in the elements of the moon with only that space suit.  dust flies through space so fast, it would have went right through their suits, through them, and then back through the suits without even slowing down.  if they really did land on the moon, there would be three dead astronauts and a space shuttle still on the moon.\n\noh, yeah, and they didn't shoot it in a stuidio, they shot it in the desert.  if you shoot it at a level angle, the stars will not show up on the film.

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.

Although my wife's father performed fuel calculations for the original Apollo landing, I'll spare you that speech. Instead, I will encourage you to watch two programs. The first show is called Conspiracy Moon Landing that it currently showing on the National Geographic Channel and it pretty much obliterates all of the popular conspiracy theories.\n\nI would also encourage you to watch a movie called Capricorn One. Made it 1978, it is a fictional story about a fake mission to Mars. Although it is a science fiction story, it is a good example of how utterly impossible it would be to fake a moon landing for any length of time.\n\n12 men walked on the moon from 1969 to 1972 and we have neither the resources nor the technology to pull off that big of a hoax for so long. Hundreds of thousands of people have worked on the space program. It would be far easier to put someone on the moon than to try and fake it and keep it secret for nearly 40 years. \n\nThe landings came at a time when our space program was ultra competitive with the former Soviet Union. Remember how big of a deal it was when Sputnik was put into orbit? They had the technology to monitor our moon shots and transmissions. Don't you think they would have called us out if they had evidence that it was all fake? \n\nPerhaps the most definitive proof of our trip to the moon is what we left behind. For the last 35+ years, scientists have been beaming lasers to the moon and measuring the return times. How are they doing this? The beams are reflected back by equipment left on the moon on at 3 different locations.\n\nCase closed.

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 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.

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)

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).

On July 20 ( July 21 GMT ) 1969 the first man stepped on the moon. During the next 3 years 6 missions to the moon was made and a total of 12 astronauts walked on the moon. One of the missions Apollo 13 failed and they had to return.\n\nDuring these missions thousands of images were taken, most of them with the Hasselblad EDC. A special version of the Hasselblad 500 EL. Many of these images are famous, like the one from Apollo 11 showing Buzz Aldrin with Neil Armstrong reflected in the glass of his helmet. (It is available in super resolution from the panorama).\n\nLess known is that during all the missions they made image sequences which with todays computer technics can be stitched together into 360o interactive panoramas giving you the possibillity to view the moon almost as you were there.\nMany of these panoramas have been published before but in low resolution and displayed in small sizes.\n\nDuring the last year the original films have been rescanned in large resolution and the Apollo 11 images were released the week before the 35 year anniversary. I can now present you for the first time the Moon in interactive 360 degree fullscreen Quicktime VR.\n\n3 panoramas are now available and I will follow up with panoramas from all the missions\n Stitching these images to make 360 degree panoramas is a difficult task as the astronauts did not know anything about interactive panoramas and the stitching methods which would come 25 years later.\n\nBookmark this page and return to see the rest of the panoramas.\n\n\nAnd while you wait for them - there are many other panoramas at panoramas.dk - Mt Everest, Mars, Eiffel Tower, New Year at Times Square, Niagara Falls and more than 150 others.\n\nToday we are sending space ships to Mars (view panoramas) and to Titan but still there are young educated people out there who believes in conspiration theories that claims we never been on the Moon. Please, Please Use your brain.\n\nGo to the frontpage for the last fullscreen of the week.

no...they didnt land on the moon at all and lot of evidence points that the moon landings were faked\n1,,to reach moon the astonauts had to pass beyond the van allen belt.which is a protective barrier of charged particles cosmic rays etc..beyond which they wud b exposed to intense harmful cosmic rays...thir aircraft apollo 11 had only a thin lining of lead for protection which is not at all sufficient...so it is suggested dat apollo 11 just cirled up before reachuing the van allen belt\n2,,moreover the photographic film wud hav been clearly damaged while passing thru the belt as it does it if its passeed thru an ordinary xray machine\n3,,the camera that the astros used i.e. hasselblad wree old fashioned and changing their photographic plates is a very tricky process requiring handling of delicate plates n nimble fingers...this task was impossible 4 the astros as they wore thick rubber gloves\n4,,one of their pics shows the terrain behind aldrin fading away into the horizon while there is no atmosphere on moon to cause such an effect\n4,,more over in one of the pics some suspiciuos equipments reflection can be seen on aldrins visor..it can cl4early be seen againt the darkness of the horizonwhere one might expectto glimpse a piece of film equipment if it had been shot in a film studio\n5,,moreover the absence of stars in the pics,lack of scortch marksand a crater under the lunar module which wud hav been formed by its landing are suspiciously missing\n\nhence too much to prove that the landings were faked \n\nits the second time i have ansewered this question...n it was the best answer
