Why did the americans fake?

Question

the moon landing

sure they filmed it on earth!

Answer 1

why do you think so?

all the 'evidence' that makes gullible people believe that the Moon landing wasn't real, is LAUGHABLY refutable.

from the moronic "the flag is sticking out and waving"  (what? you cant see them designing a flag to be SEEN without a wind?) to the "Where are the stars?" (try going out in the dark... and lighting a REALLY bright bonfire, then look up... now, take pictures)  the hoaxers just want attention.

Like you.

Answer 2

no we didnt. your an idiot.

Answer 3

I was 14 years old when Apollo 11 landed on the moon.  

With the technology available in 1969, it was easier to go to the moon than it was to fake going to the moon.  Do you think any hoax created with 1969 technology could stand up for 40 years ?

There are alot of foreigners out there who were not even born when we went to the moon but still insist it was a hoax.

Perhaps they are jealous because while America was conquering space, the people in their country were still peeling bananas with their feet.

Answer 4

bcuz they didn't.

half a million ppl worked their butts off to make project apollo happen. it was extensively documented and independently observed.

teh only ppl who think it was fake are blithering idiots. are you a blithering idiot?

Answer 5

A foolish assumption based on flimsy skepticism....

There are thousands of conspiracy theories out there. Pick another one.....

Answer 6

We can't tell the reason for something that did not happen.  However we can tell the reason that some people say they did not land.  There is money in it.  

Make a "controversial" TV show, it cannot in all conscience be called a documentary or write a work of fiction and thousands if not hundreds of thousands will be curious enough to watch or buy the book.  A few thousands will believe the nonsense you promote.  

Nearly everything raised by these frauds has been not only rebutted but refuted.  Nearly everything they say is a straight lie.  See Phil Plait "Bad Astronomy", the Steve Dutch site and the "Clavius" site for more of the evidence.  

Their photographic "evidence" is non-existent, anyone with more than a "point and shoot" knowledge of photography can see that.

The story about the flag waving is ludicrous, as is the nonsense about the dust and the lack of a blast crater in the ground under the lander.  

And just as a piece of positive evidence, the hundreds of pounds of Moon rocks the Apollo astronauts brought back matched in composition the samples automatically returned by the Russians.  Isotopic content too, no Earth rocks have such an isotopic content.  There rocks were analysed by geochemists in different countries of the world and the results were published.  

Another point is that hundreds of non-Americans were involved.  If the thing had been faked, how would you keep these people quiet for 39 years?

Answer 7

and you're proof is?

Answer 8

If you really think the Apollo moon landings were fake then you're an uneducated idiot.  Back in 1975 when this was first discussed there were very few tools for research.  Now you have the Internet and this really shouldn't be an issue any more, except for idiots who don't know how to use the internet.

Answer 9

Let's for a moment assume you are not just another stupid troll...

Please deliver your "proof" that the landing was faked.

And don't bring up the usual idiocies about

- the waving flag

- missing stars

- wwrong shadow

- radiation

etc, they have been debunked so often, it's just ridiculous to repeat them.

Answer 10

My dad closed the hatch on Apollo 11 with people inside.

And they launched.

Answer 11

with all the cgi available now, i would agree that they faked it, but that technology didnt exist then.

why dont we talk about how govt created aids or illuminati  lol

Answer 12

I am so sick of this question; yes the US went to the Moon

A.  Your conspiracy would be too huge and collapse.

B.  Russia would have caught us in the lie.

C.  The mirror planted there by Apollo Astronauts is still there.

Yes exposure to radiation is dangerous and NASA keeps track of the cumulative radiation dosage of all astronauts, but the radiation of the Van Allen Belt is not lethal.  It is an artifact of the Earth’s magnetic field and it PREVENTS a lethal dose of solar radiation reaching earth.  We have had problems with a breech of the Van Allen Belt and the Ozone layer creating the largest blackout in American history.  If we had any astronauts in orbit at that time they would have died from fatal exposure, but we didn’t.

Russia was leading in the Space Race, at the height of the cold war and the technology of their captured German scientists was just as good as the technology of our “liberated” German scientists.  The U.S.S.R. was watching the US like a hawk and if they had tired to lie about a moon landing then the propaganda victory would have been immense.

No the space race was not the difference between winning and losing the Cold War.  The Cold War was merely one of survival.  The Space Race was responsible for a lot of our advanced technology from the first portable TV camera carried by astronauts on Apollo 11 to Corning Wear and Teflon for heat shields and a large portion of the plastic industry.  Then GPS and the land sat and all our spy satellites all came from the space program.

Radio messages sent to the earth by the Apollo astronauts weren’t just sent to NASA it required a world wide network with satellites based in Spain, Australia, the US and at sea.  Those same signals were easy for Russia to intercept, yet you have never heard a single Russian claim that the US didn’t go to the moon.  If they tried that the International Community would laugh them out of the UN.  Yet still this conspiracy exists?

Then think of the National Inquirer and its rivals.  How much would they pay for solid information on the US not going to the moon?  Millions, probably billions of dollars would be paid for any proof, yet there has never been a creditable story about the lunar landing hoax.  Millions of people including my father were involved in the space program and the race to the moon.  There is an old saying “Two people can keep a secret, if one of them is dead.”  The chances of everyone keeping such a huge hoax a secret are zero, the lure of money and publicity are too strong.

Where do you think the space rocks and lunar dust came from?  They have been loaned to scientists for generations, studied and displayed for years, by people totally independent of the US, yet none of them have claimed that the rocks are a hoax.

Hollywood has been guilty of publishing some huge blockbusters based on thin information and some weird fiction, but they haven’t been guilty of generating huge hoaxes.  Tom Hanks did the movie Apollo 13 and then did a documentary on the Moon Program that was released on DVD and shown on the History Channel.  Yet all those people would have to be involved in your conspiracy to keep the lunar landing hoax.  No one is going to try and make a huge Hollywood Movie without researching the heck out of it to make sure that any claims made are real.  The entire plot of Apollo 13 is based on a true story and it takes place AFTER 2 successful lunar landings.  Yet Hollywood was stupid enough to base all of that on a hoax?  I don’t think so.

Because of the lack of interest in the Space Program we stopped going to the moon.  If you watch Apollo 13 you see that interest was flagging back then, yet we kept going to the moon until Apollo 17.  After the end of the Apollo program we lost the technology and the capability to repeat the program.  That is why NASA is having to reinvent the entire lunar program from scratch.  The same stupid thing is going to happen after we abandon the space shuttle.  In 50-60 years we are going to have to reinvent the same program all over again.

Conspiracy theories on this scale are examples of Hitler’s tactic “The Big Lie.”  If you tell a lie enough times then enough people will start to believe it.  P. T. Barnum invented the huge 3 ring circus and he used to say, “There is a sucker born every minute.”  To get people to go through the midway faster he would post signs “This way to the Egress.”  Egress is a $10 word for exit, but he fooled millions of people into searching for the elusive egress.

The face on Mars conspiracy was the result of a NASA scientist trying to say “Hey, look at this image, it is FREAKING Mars man, we are seeing Mars.”  What he said was “Here is a rock formation that looks like a face.”  Suddenly the NASA conspiracy to hide signs of intelligent life on Mars was born.  Needless to say when NASA examined that spot with a different orbiter, in a higher resolution and at a different angle it didn’t look like a face anymore.  It was a chance of rock and light; not a real face.

If you want to find more data to debunk this theory then go to Wikipedia:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_Landin...

Answer 13

The Americans did not fake the moon landing.  Evidence is the moon rocks that were analyzed and found unlike anything on earth.

j

Answer 14

They didn't.

Answer 15

Because it was more expensive faking the moon landing and film it on Earth, with all possible errors like you can only have on the moon, send large unmanned satellites to the moon to fake the communication and finally place mirrors on the moon.

Guess how that ashamed the Russians, that they can't fake it as expensive. Most of the missing funds in the NASA Budget  for realizing this fake got collected by telling the American public, they are fighting a unsuccessful war in Vietnam...

*narf*

Answer 16

You should be asking why your school system faked educating you, and the millions like you.

Answer 17

I think your parents faked your birth.

Answer 18

as one who has actually taken the time to look into the theory that the landing was faked and studied the various bits of proof most often sited, I can positively say:  we didn't.

Answer 19

They did not.

When the TV images came in (Armstrong's first steps), they were seen in all radio-telescopes in Australia and in the Soviet Union.

If the Soviets had had any hint that it was faked, they would have known right away and the cover-up would not even have lasted as long as the broadcast.

Answer 20

That is crazy!!! sure ive watched all the conspiracy programs, but DAMMIT THEESE PLACES WOULD BE OUT OF BUISNESS IF IT WASNT FOR CRAZY CONSPIRACIES!!!!! To say that humans never landed on the moon is derogatory, and to say it was about trying to beat the soviets is even more so. It is a crazy assumption, and the ONLY REASON THE FLAG IS BLOWING IS BECAUSE THERE WAS A SOLAR WIND AT THE TIME!!!! I HOPE IVE MADE MYSELF CLEAR!!!!! THEY DIDNT FAKE  IT DAMMIT!!!!

Answer 21

Nope, you have the dumb.  You win the booby prize!  (Unfortunately, they're Roseanne barr's boobies.)
