Was the Apollo Moon Landing FAKED?

**The Good** · March 14, 2007, 03:27 PM

Well, this thread is exactly as the title suggests, is the famous Apollo Moon Landing that was seen on telivision in 1969 fake? Here is a bit of evidence against the Apollo Moon Landing.

Here is the link to the Wikipedia article:

I seriously doubt that it was fake LJ.

**Handsome Huss** · March 14, 2007, 04:45 PM

Yes, I believe it happened.

I didn't read through the entire page, but have seen so many things about it... And AFAIK, every piece of evidence that people use to prove that it was faked, has been debunked.
I remember I watched a show on the Space channel, called: "10 Reasons Why the Moon Landing Didn't Happen", which listed them all. A couple months later, saw another program, which looked at each of those 10 Reasons, and proved them false.

You should do more reading.

**Handsome Huss** · March 14, 2007, 04:54 PM

So I took Lee1026's advice and did more reading. Again, most, if not all, of what is on there is either a mistake/proves nothing/has been debunked.

**Lee1026** · March 14, 2007, 05:00 PM

I meant that to the topic creater. Sorry.

**Scorch** · March 14, 2007, 05:03 PM

If anyone still believes it was a hoax, read this:

It debunks every hoax accusation simply, clearly and scientifically

Oh **** I accidentally voted no when I saw the title name....

**Syron** · March 14, 2007, 05:35 PM

Yes. There is no credible reason to believe it didn't.

In fact i've had a go at studying sample's of the moonrock brought back from the moon landings myself. The Earth and Planetary sciences department at my uni were one of the first to get hold of samples. Lunar dust is an incredibly strange substance with some odd properties.

Gah so did I. About half the people who voted No have done so by accident.

**RZZZA** · March 14, 2007, 06:07 PM

Buzz Aldrin would punch you in the face if you asked him about how "Fake" the landing was.

( i voted no on accident too, yay for confusing polls)

**JP226** · March 14, 2007, 06:34 PM

I read it again and thought i voted incorrectly too. I hit the yes button though.

Where is the 'It doesn't matter' option?

Because regardless of whether or not it happened we have wasted a huge amount of tax dollars.

wasted? Are you not taking into account all the benefits we have reaped from scientific research done outside our atmosphere?

Exploration of the cosmos is never a waste, it is the next frontier. Im sure many laughed at columbus and magellan too, but look at them now. Their names echo through the halls of time.

**Gelgoog** · March 14, 2007, 09:45 PM

there was a huge 2 hour long episode on this on the history channel in which they debunked ever single peice of evidence against the moon landing.

and i also accidently voted no

**vizi** · March 14, 2007, 10:18 PM

Yes those people are lauded now in posterity. For now I am gonna laugh at the waste of our space program and the insane love crazy astronauts we send into space. I don't care about space and don't like spending money to send a select few into space. Now is NASA would do its job which is prepare for space travel for all and not yell and whine when Russians let private citizens into space I might have more sympathy. For now they are just a whiny elite screwing me and you over.

and how exactly do you expect them to prepare for all of humanity to go into space? when sending up 10 people in a shuttle costs a significant portion of their budget. we cant barely afford to keep a dozen folks in a space station. take the entire budget spend on iraq and give it to Nasa and we'd see some significant progressive. until then budget restrictions keep future advancements to a nill.

**RZZZA** · March 14, 2007, 11:26 PM

They dont just go into space for kicks you know, a lot of the work of these scientists/astronauts benefits you and I directly, vizigothe.

%$^&, theres a plan I agree with. Take the money spent on Iraq, and put it into NASA. Put it into universal healthcare. Put it into proper border and airport security. Put it into anything that benefits the american public. Selfish? yes. But pragmatic? also yes.
