Was the Lunar Landing a Hoax?

[Sky Breaker]

Did man really walk on the moon? Its a subject that I've discussed with several people, and it seems that he evidence is adding up to a complete hoax. The moving flag in an atmospheric void. The lack of visible stars. Both call the credibility of the footage into question. As for the other 6 visits... well I'll have to do more research.



Here is Part 2. While I've never really believed that Area 51 contained crash debris from alien aircraft, its not hard to believe it contains the secret to the lunar hoax. When you look at the LEM footage, it really makes you think about just how obvious the fake moon footage is. There are millions of miles between Earth and the moon, and if the LEM was so wildly uncontrollable on Earth, how did they work out the kinks for the moon mission?


Part 3. The multiple sources of light. Its hard enough to take a dramatic, perfectly exposed photo on Earth, let alone in a spacesuit on the moon. The crosshairs and their inconsistencies do not make sense.



Part 4. When you consider the lies, and inconsistencies of the US Government in regard to so many issues over the past few decades (The War In Iraq), and what the climate was at the time (the Cold War), is it so hard to believe that this is 100% fiction? Finally we have the story of Thomas Baron. That is chilling.


Part 5. Radiation.

And after all that, I find a snippet online about a Japanese orbiter that found the landing sites of the previous Apollo missions that shows the leftover equipment... I dont know what to believe anymore. Now this entire watch just seems like a silly overly dramatic fluff piece.

The problem with the "it's a hoax" evidence is... we can't just walk up to the moon to see what things are like up there. We have no idea what it's like to walk around, what the actual gravity is like. There may be enough of a light atmosphere held in by the gravity to cause light breezes.

It would be nice though if they'd just go back and make more real footage of the surface though.

There's an episode of QI where Stephen Fry does a great job explaining why it's not a hoax.

If this landing is a hoax, how in the world did they have the perfect technology to land on the moon after Apollo 11?

Was the 1958 world soccer championship in Stockholm a hoax?

First of all, the moon isn't even 1/4 of a million miles from earth, it's approx 221,463 miles away. So 'millions of miles away' is waay off. 2ndly all of the conspiracy theories of the proof that it's a hoax were actually busted on mythbusters (now don't get me wrong I personally FIRMLY believe that people behind conspiracies can convince media outlets to add weight to their hoaxes, but I also believe the moon landing is at this point in our lives so insignificant (in terms of being real of fake) that they wouldn't bother with trying to prove anything (the people who would be behind the cover up) if there is any conspiracy I prefer to think that there's something there they don't want us to see rather than they didn't go (not that I subscribe to either but it's more fun to go with the spooky conspiracy)

I also think that if they were going to fake the landing, they wouldn't be so sloppy as to allow the mistakes that conspiracy theorists claim to be proof that it's fake. I mean honestly why fake it live? pre-record it and act like it's live, that way you have more than one take, and you can edit out any mistakes.

here's a conspiracy for you, I mistakenly voted that it WAS a hoax!!

Go read http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/tv/foxapollo.html if you believe it was a conspiracy

I don't care if we did either way, but I think it is more fun to believe it was a hoax.

Oh for the love of Jeebus, Boo-duh, Gahd, and any other non-denominational deity, THE MOON LANDING WASN'T AND NEVER HAS BEEN HOAXED!

Remeber some years back when someone tried to tell Buzz Aldrin that he never went to the moon? After being called a liar, coward, and other insults Aldrin warned the guy to leave him alone -- the guy continued and earned himself a whallop.

I'd like to point out that MYTHBUSTERS took on every one of your supposed 'proofs' towards hoax and proved that the moon landings happened. Here's a couple parts of the Season 6 episode 10.

Meh I was bored.

As much as I'm usually against violence solving things, that bum deserved what he got.

And the Earth is supposed to "rotate" at over 1000 miles an hour but I don't feel anything. If we were really spinning that fast we wouldn't be able to walk anywhere!

Benedict was on the moon before Century exist.

which brings me to my 2nd point: the universe revolves around the earth.

Meh. They are clearly part of the cover-up.

[MrRoboto]

Yes. Yes it was a hoax.
