Was the Apollo 11 moon-landing faked?

Question

Was the Apollo 11 moon-landing faked?

Answer 1

I have studied for many years the so-called evidence that the Moon landings were faked.  I am professionally qualified in the fields that apply to those theories.  In nearly ten years of research I have yet to find anything that stands up even remotely to scrutiny.  Strangely enough, some of the pillars of that theory -- e.g., "shadows cast by the sun should always be parallel" -- can be refuted simply by lifting your head and looking out the window, yet people seem to want to buy into it!

I have yet to find a conspiracy theorist who has any training or experience in the topics he discusses.  A lot of them will hype up their credentials by saying they're "investigative journalists" or "self-taught physicists."  It's their way of saying they're ordinary people trying to be famous.

A few say they're photographers.  Today anyone with a cell phone is a "photographer."  What is wanted is photographic ANALYSIS, and that is a real discipline with real scientific techniques and requiring real training and experience -- none of which any of these authors has.  They simply invent plausible-sounding "techniques" that have no basis in science and dazzle their readers with diagrams and handwaving conjectures.

No.  There is no credible evidence that any of the Apollo missions was faked.

Yet there is a small cadre of foul-mouthed, self-congratulatory miscreants at YouTube (the only place that hasn't banned them) who steadily crank out more and more of this hogwash.

Answer 2

Ok it's time for you and your 2012 nutcase friends to call it a night.

Answer 3

No. If it was, what about the other missions?

Was Apollo 10 then also faked, even though they approached the moon already to 15 km altitude?  Or Apollo 12? Or was Apollo 13 faked, though it was almost a catastrophe?

If Apollo 11 would have happened without a continuing development inside the Apollo program around it, you could have doubts on it's reality, but in reality, there had been many small steps which brought the US astronauts on the moon:

Apollo 4 - unmanned flight test of the CSM, first flight of the Saturn V.

Apollo 5 - unmanned test flight of the LM

Apollo 6 - last unmanned test flight of the Saturn V and the CSM.

Apollo 7 - first manned test of the CSM

Apollo 8 - first flight to the moon, entered moon orbit.

Apollo 9 - test of the LM in Earth orbit.

Apollo 10 - test of the LM in lunar orbit, including a simulated landing (but no landing so the crew can be rescued by the CSM in case some thing fails)

Apollo 11 - first landing.

Answer 4

No and U should be ashamed to say such...

Answer 5

If you've looked at footage of the moon landings you'll notice that the dust kicked up by the vehicles goes up and down in a perfect parabolic curve. This could only happen in an atmosphere-free environment, something we don't have here on Earth.

The reason you don't see stars in pictures on the moon is the same as why you don't see stars here on Earth in the daytime. The sun's light is so much brighter than the starlight and so you can't see the stars.

There is no blast crater underneath the lunar module because there is no atmosphere on the moon. On Earth the air pressure is strong enough to make a jet exhaust funnel into a thin shape but on the moon it spreads out and so there is minimal force acting on the surface of the moon.

In fact all 'evidence' of the moon landings being faked has been disproved so there's really no reason for anyone to think we didn't land on the moon.

Answer 6

some believe yes, others say it's true, i have no idea, but most likely ya!  

Answer 7

No.

Answer 8

Absolutely not. No way. No how. Those who think it was faked are afraid to think that man's dream came true that day. Every piece of so-called evidence they have to prove the landing was faked can be easily disproven by any 5th grader.

Answer 9

You must be a Liberal

Answer 10

No.

The Moon landing happened, this is fact.  I could go into alot of detail and debunk the some called "evadince" that claims other wise but I have decide not to bother and instead ask you one question.

The Americans were in a race to the Moon with the Russians, if the Americans had faked it surly the Russian scientist would have notcied, they have telescopes pointed at the moon as well.  Why has NO Russian scientist ever came forward and claimed it was a hoax?

Tarzan, you are a r****d.

Answer 11

Yes they did land on the moon, only people who

- hate the government

- know less science than a Highschool student

- want to make money with their books and videos

- simply are trolling

claim otherwise.

NASA has i.e.

- eyewitnesses

- a whole load of documentation (including the tracking data from foreign countries)

- thousands of pictures

- hours of film

- the laser reflectors

- >300kg of moonrocks

- a congratulation from the russians

Most of the landingdeniers counterclaims don't even need an expert to be shown wrong, they are just stupid. .

Just one example:

Hoaxers claim that the flag was waving in some wind

Now everyone who bothers to do some research (instead of relying on the fraudulent Snippets the Hoaxers show) will find out, that the flag was held up by a wire, and appeared only to be waving while (and shortly after) being handled by one of the astronauts.

You also have to ask yourself if it is really believeable that NASA would miss a waving flag if they wanted to fake it?

Now certain answerers may claim otherwise but if you read their stuff, and all the answers in the questions there they participated you will notice that all their "evidence" has been debunked numerous times.

Do they acknowledge it? Are they even try to explain why the explantions given are incorrect? No, they just repeat the same bunch of lies over and over again. That should give you an idea about their honesty...

Answer 12

NO! It was real and, believe me, anybody who says it was faked simply does not know what they are talking about. They are just someone who has not studied the subject.

Answer 13

yes there has been enough evidences to prove it, that it was FAKE.

Answer 14

The Apollo 11 Moon landing did happen and it is not a fake.
