Did we really got the man on the Moon

Edwin "Buzz'' Aldrin punched a man in the face after being asked to swear on a Bible that he'd been to the moon . Some says it was made in desert and it never happened. So what do you think ? Did Apollo really land the moon?

The anwser is No. Then again I have read reports that this is so because the americans planted a flag on the moon and that none of the telescopes that can acctually see the moons surface never ever saw an american flag + there is no actual proof that they have landed on the moon.

But I can always be wrong

Ahhhh, faked moon landings. My favourite loony conspiracy theory (after the whole Hitlers VW Beetle thing of course).

Here's a selection of Humanities previous discussions of the moon landings:

I think the question is "Did we really know the grammar?"

I heard nasa staged the fake moon landing to win the 'space race' with russia,
One of the sites I saw had some pretty convincing stuff, like when houston was talking to apollo, he was responding within half a second, when the radio transmission would have taken 1.5 seconds to reach him
And then theres the pictures, some of them show 2 light sources casting shadows, and in the most famous pic of buzz aldrin, there is no stars in the background

Only smarties has the answer :rolleyes:
And the answer is No we don't

Recently NASA is under severe pressure from people who doesn't believe Apollo ever landed the moon. I doubt they will ever admit if they didn't.

No.

In fact I believe there is evidence to prove at least 'some' of the moon shots taken were faked, due to the impossibility of the direction of shadows being cast on the lunar surface in relation to the supposed position of the sun at the time of the photoshoot.

Take me to your laundry baby.

http://www.forteantimes.com/articles/094_moon.shtml is the loony theory, and http://www.forteantimes.com/articles/097_moon.shtml is an excellent debunking.

It's worth reading both before posting complete and utter claptrap here.

Of course man landed on the moon, you'd be mad to travel 250,000 miles and not land!

One thing that sticks in the mind of a skeptic is the sheer fiscal and political sense it would have made just to fake the whole lot.The Cia were actively involved in drug running and other shady projects.So it makes absolute sense just to fake it and pocket the money.

LOL Good point mike and would have been waste of 250k miles if you didn't bring any photos back to prove

Is it unknown for a camera flash to cause objects in the background to be darker than the subject of the photo? my new job developing photos has shown me that that is a very very very common thing. now consider the fact that they were working in less than ideal conditions up there(low gravity, bulky space suits and low light conditions) for photography might it have ocoured to you that infact the photots might not have been the best quality?

as for the 2 light sources. the flash and the sun. do you think the intensity if light reflected by the earth is comparable to direct sunlight(with no atmosphere) or a close camera flash(let alone a super powerful nasa flash that probably cost millions to develope. remember they spent millions developing a 0-g pen whe the russians just used pencils).

Of course we did, it was a tribute song to Andy Kaufman as I understand it.

The scrap salvage value might just about be worth.
i'll have a word with Willyum-Paddy-Fitz and see what he'll offer for it.

Oh and We never landed on the moon, what was the point? Mars is just a short hop and a jump using the Skittle Drive™

we should get the guys from Scraphead Challenge to create a space craft capable of making its way to the moon to prove it

No ground based telescope would yield a high enough resolution to make out the outline of a lunar lander on the moon let alone a flag. Hubble, our most precise eye on the sky, could at best discern detail to a resolution of about 90 metres on the moon's surface, not nearly enough.
