Do you believe the moon landings are fake?

Question

How could they be genuine,the us can hardly launch rockets in to space now.
Also why didn't the russians bother landing there?

Answer 1

No, they're not fake, no the holocaust is not fake and no, 9/11 is not fake. The only thing that is fake is wrestling on TV, but ironically, people regard it, attend it and watch it as though it were real.



I think that liberalism destroys people's ability to distinguish truth from falsehood and fact from fiction.

Answer 2

well now this is a good question - i guess its all about perception! But in response to Marty K there has always been good reson to doubt the moon landings, i don't believe there is anyone (other than some very odd individuals) who would believe that 9/11 or the holocaust were faked!!!!



The moon landings were somewhat odd, the first man to actually step on the moon would have been the cameraman and how can a flag wave/fly (whatever the word is) where there is no gravity? I'm yet to actually make my mind up either way on this issue but I do tend to believe that the moon landing was either faked entirely or the one we get to see from tv footage is fake - the real landing came later or could not be televised for some reason



It will always remain one of the worlds big conspiracy theories right up there with JFK, Marilyn Monroe and Lucky Charms (just how lucky are they huh?)

Answer 3

No



The Americans are no good at special effects.



Anyway Werner Von Brown the lead scientist behind the program was a German, worked for Adolph and his chums, It was a German project with its roots in the V2 ballistic program, Both Yanks and Ruskies used surplus V2 rockets for their initial forays into space, so you could say Hitler the politician not only created the concept of a united Europe, but put men in space and made Sky TV possible,

Not bad for a weasly little Charlie Chaplin look alike who really wanted to be an architect eh.

(I am looking on the positive side here, relatives of the 6, 7 or 10 million Holocaust victims will have a less positive view)

But back to the question.



No they were genuine.



See Thunderbirds for special effects from the moon Landing era

Answer 4

Of course they where fake! There is so many reports that there is no wind on the moon, but in the film of the landing the flag is flying like there is a strong wind. With all the problems they are having with getting space shuttles up there now, there is no way the first moon landing was real.

Answer 5

Definitely. As far as I am aware there are no spotlights on the moon (check footage) there were no cameras on the outside of the craft therefore how did they get picture of first guy coming down ladder. The camera they used for the stills had to have the film threaded through which was impossible in those big gloves. And finally 70% radiation would kill you. There was a programme on TV they called NASA and asked about the suits. They were not radiation proof! Also to take off again would cause all moon dust to block engines. I think that they did go there but they simply did not land and did not get out

Answer 6

And how come there arent many recordings of the landing?

I've heard that the last available copy of the video was recently taken out of a vault in Sydney.

The video of man landing on the moon, is suddenly so rare?

Answer 7

Not sure about the Russians but I know the moon landings are not fake..,my father worked for Nasa and wrote procedures for the Astronauts..,I got to see many things the viewing public did not and that offends the hell out of me when people want to question it.Some people need to get a frickin life and stop looking for conspiracies in everything.

Answer 8

I can't believe that there are so many people that beleive this.

How can someone ask a stupid question like, "who filmed him getting out of the capsule/down the ladder" ?

There were no cameras outside of the capsule I agree, but it was fairly simply to have a camera emerge from the ship and do the filming.

Answer 9

Who knows, its likely. But perhaps some things are real, and I'm sure many of us would want to believe this as real. On the other hand, if NASA wanted to shut up the conspiracy theorists, they COULD do this easily, by getting some satelite photos of the landing sites...

Answer 10

sure i do the reason of it is ther is a radiation ring that could have given all the astronuts many varieties of maximum cancers however out their life and this hasnt happened. yet another concern is in 2000 nasa mentioned they didnt have the techno to bypass. so how did they in 1969? and final 86% % made it on primitive computers and mediocore navigation yet with techno thats hundreds of thousands circumstances greater powerful in trouble-free terms approximately 28% of mars missions made it

Answer 11

Not only that but I believe the moon its self is fake too.

The world is only 7900 years old and flat as well.....and some day, some day the Dogers are coming back to Brooklyn.

Answer 12

Yup and the pyramids are fake too, how could people 5000+ years ago possibly build them? Look, read a few books on the subject and wise up!!

Answer 13

Whether it was fake or not is not the point. It had the desired effect of concentrating peoples minds on an incredible feat, and therefore forgetting all the normal hardships of life. I remember watching it absolutely "spellbound" THEY ARE BLOODY CLEVER THESE GOVERNMENTS.

Answer 14

Yes, it was all done on a soundstage. When shooting was finished, they used the stage to plan 9/11.



Please don't take this the wrong way, but until I read some of the answers here, I had no idea there were so many idiots in the world.

Answer 15

Not a fake. The flag was waving because it was made of aluminium and attached to a flexible pole. That was done because there is no atmosphere on the moon to support a normal fabric flag

Answer 16

Of course they were genuine , I was there ,on the Moon, matter of fact I had a Drink with the Astro,s they asked me how YOU were and send you their best wishes for your early recovery

Answer 17

100% real...

The USSR as I recall tried an unmanned attempt to retrieve samples but failed.

That was our best technology then...

Consider what we have now...



Oh yea, did I mention they're all American Flag's on the Moon?

Answer 18

The moon landing was real, folks. The various "hoax believer" claims are rather convincingly debunked at the web site listed below.

Answer 19

If moon landings are fake then everyboby at this site are

fake, including myself.

Answer 20

Fer cryin out loud!



They brought back samples! You can do science with the data! Every Astronomer in the world (Including me) would have to be in on it! It would be easier to go to the moon that perpetrate such a hoax!



Go to this link and let Dr Phil explain it all to you!

Answer 21

I thought that we had put this one to bed. Wouldn't the Russians, cold war an all, have been the first to expose any fakery?

Answer 22

WE HAVE BEEN LIED TO.

THERE IS NO MOON TO LAND ON.

It is merely a reflection of the sun on a black background.



You are brilliant.

Answer 23

What about the video footage? It was made before the movies special effects and trick photography even existed.

It is human nature to want to explore the unknown. That is why we strive for space exploration more today than ever before.

Go to nasa.com and you will find out why space exploration is important to us.

Answer 24

They look fake. How the hell can they say it was the first step on the moon when someone was filming them - plus how could the camaraman of kept the camara so still when Armstrong or whatever his name was was bobbling all over the place (and he was the astronaut!!).

Yet it could jut be it really was that awfull.

Answer 25

1: The US initial landing is fake because they didn't want to be the second on the Moon after they discovered that Russians had plans on going there.



2: Russians did go to the moon and they have footage of if, but it is not considered relevant as US beet them to it, fake or real.

(I am Russian and i know)

Answer 26

I do believe they are fake, if Armstrong was the first man on the moon why was someone there to film him getting out of the lander thing.

Answer 27

Of course they were faked. The shuttle launches are faked. Anything the government says is faked. They add LSD to the water supply to make people more suseptable to suggestion.

Answer 28

It seems more fake than the 9/11 attacks (the one's with the bombs that were planted by Americans).

Answer 29

the russians were going to go but the usa beat them so they gave up. And they ant fake!

Answer 30

The truth is: it is totally fake

Answer 31

It is very possible that it is fake. I would put nothing pass the US government. with that said I still say I am proud to be American.

Answer 32

yes i think it was a scene it didnt really happen it was a scene made by nasa acted by neil armstrong and the rest of the crew

Answer 33

Is that because you think everything is an illusion.

Answer 34

they did it. don't believe what some religious extremists say. because if you believe them you are making yourself a fool only. nothing happens to the truth.

Answer 35

i would like to believe it was true but im heart says it was fake.... certain things just don't add up!

Answer 36

We did and will again.



The Russians "didn't bother" because when they tried, THEY COULDN'T DO IT!!

Answer 37

of course its fake. i mean OMG, the flag was waving. i seen better animation on bugs bunny.

Answer 38

I was living on the moon at the time..I didn't see them...

Answer 39

Answer 40

Maybe, but mars landing will be great!

Answer 41

Answer 42

No

Answer 43

Definately, otherwise why haven't they been back there?

Answer 44

Ya, the earth is probably flat too.
