How many of you actually believe the Moon Landing was fake?

karaokeman

Firstly this is not a general topic, if you post you can simply state whether or not you believe the conspiracy theory as if it was a poll.

Most people I know think they were real, and from the arguments I've heard against the Hoax movement I can easily assume 98% of the world are probably convinced they were real.

As for me I am not sure whether the landings were real, but I am more sure they were real than I am that they were fake.

but I am more sure they were real than I am that they were fake.

This would be my line of thinking also

MrStuffins

Of course they were real!

This is easily one of the more ridiculous Conspiracy Theories!

Well if you're on the fence ask this one question: Why didn't the Russians say anything?

Why didn't you just start an actual poll ?


Fake, obviously.

Some people believe the Russians knew it was a hoax but didn't say anything because the US could have retaliated and spoiled the beans on some of their earlier space exploits (which some say were also fake).

Thanks for bringing it up though. I find the Russians silence as evidence that the Moon Landing was real. Its one of the prominent factors that kept me believing the landings were real.

Well some of that came out actually. Gagrin wasn't technically the first man into space because he had to eject from his capsule before it landed. That was covered up for years and eventually it came out.

By the time the Americans got to the moon the Russians where years behind, so calling fake would have certainly let them catch up and maybe win the space race.

The flag get's me, fake.

What about the flag exactly?

Not to mention all of the other theories it ties into in some way.. I think a lot of people base their belief on one thing on what they believe about another :P

i hear the flag was like that due to the fact of zero gravity, it was starched or something as they knew there was no wind.

i think i heard that zero gravity thing before aswell. looks to be a bar or something in the pic tho:p

Same here.
As much as I like the odd conspiracy theory, I think the landings actually happened.

you found me out:eek:

bytey

its 50/50

at least SOME of the missions DID go to the moon , the later ones ,
but ALL of the photo record is faked - there are many reasons as to why this was done
but its easy to see that fakery on a massive scale has taken place in the records .

im very convinced that appollo 11 and 12 and possibly 14 , are dubious as to whether they went to the moon .

im more convinced that 15 to 17 actually went .

there is a middle ground :pac:

muppet_man

Yes I think the landings were real.
Doubters should check out the mythbusters special on them, took most of their theories apart imho.
Although maybe their in on it too......(fade in theme music of twilight zone)

I think it's zero wind that gets most ct's going, as there is 1/6g on the moon, so the flag wouldn't flap in the wind, but as there is no atmosphere there would be nothing to stop the flag moving with whatever momentum it had, similar to a pendulum

Wasn't the lack of stars in that picture an issue too, I mean, surely you would see stars in the background in space like, ya know like

It's been proven that stars would not be visible in these photos over and over and over and over and over and over

How is the flag issue still even a question anymore given the blindingly obvious support poles being used and evident in the picture?

Now, we know more or less for a fact that Sam Peckinpah did film a Lunar Landing for Nasa and Nixon pre recorded a TV broadcast in the event of failure.

Now, I believe the landings did go ahead, but they did have communications failure and the TV pictures were interspersed with some of Sam's footage ~ I think that's pretty certain now.

So, I say, the first landing was maybe 50% successful and 50% pre-recorded film.

Actually, they made more of a case for the fake landing. They did not approach the subject from a neutral point of view, they set up their experiments to give an answer, rather than setting up the experiment to see WHAT answer was there.

I was disappointed actually. After their show I have become a doubter.

Not going OT, But I'd throw in Pearl Harbour and The Twin Tower here too. The US has a history of making grandiose fakery.
