Did we really got the man on the Moon

How would you feel if you risked your life to do something no-one else has ever done before, and 30 years later some little spa came up to you and said "I don't beleive you! Swear it really happened!". Rightly pissed off I'm sure.

NASA admitted that some pictures used for publication in the media around the time, were produced in a studio, for various reasons, including the poor quality of many pictures brought back.

They are due to release a book sometime this year which definitively proves that they did indeed land on the moon. Brace yourselves

Off topic but They haven't explain what happened to Boeing 757 suppose to hit to Pentagon either

Off topic again, http://www.snopes.com/rumors/pentagon.htm

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

Why is it every time this crap topic comes up, the same retard arguments are put forward against and the same answers to say we did...
Of course there are 2 light sources, who said there was not? I think Nasa had one and oh yeah that real big one called the sun.
As for no stars? Spot the photographer... firstly do you see stars from earth when the sun is shining... With the exception of Venus and Mercury.. no! Also they used Low exposure time so not enough time to get stars in the pictures... in actual fact there are lots of pictures WITH stars they took with high exposure time.. etc etc etc etc...
1 Spanner started this whole conspiracy theory, can think of his name but he is a muppet!

As for no evidence... tell me how to fake a moon rock i.e a rock that can not have come from earth and i will shut up!

And the arguments of no one with a telescope being able to see a little flag on the moon, what kind of muppetry is that??? The Hubble can barely see Pluto and thats a bit bigger than a flag and does not need to go through atmosphere!!!

I saw a doc on Discover once that laid all these arguments against... then showed just why every one of them is utter crap. Some is common sense and logic, the rest requires knowledge of physics, or at least photography where you understand shadows and lighting etc...

[edit] Oh yeah there is another light source on the moon, making 3 i just thought of... the moon itself!! So you have the camera light, the sun and then the lunar reflection... you can also count the white space suits themselves... they would also reflect light making a 4th light source. Oh yeah and the earth makes 4... Its a lot bigger than the moon and is as such, 5 times brighter than the moon as seen from earth!

A good question is why would they go to the expense of firing (with eyewitnesses) the biggest rocket ever made by man off into space if there was nobody in it?

And that picture of the astronauts without helmets that was "mistakenly" released by nasa could have easily been of the training sessions in the nevada desert, which looks a lot like the moon in certain places.

I've seen the ISS myself and its exactly as your describe ie rather borning! But that does'nt mean others of fragile mind might'nt prefere to belive thats its, say, a CIA spy satellite.

Very true, and yes the ISS is quite boring. But there is no question of wether there are spy satellites up there. Orbital elements for spy satellites are also readily available on the internet and their passes can be predicted, but they would require binoculars to see.

There are around 9000 objects up there in space floating around, 2/3 of them are merely space junk, used rocket boosters, expired communications equipment etc. Oribtal elements can be acquired for such mundane things as cameras and gloves that astronauts mistakenly dropped during space walks and can in fact be tracked across the sky with ground based telescopes.

There is a fleet of iridium mobile phone communications satellites up there in low earth orbit that are interesting to track, cos they have very reflective panels that quite conveniently catch and reflect sunlight back to the earth. When their panels align with a viewer on the earth they appear to flare for a short interval often as bright as the moon (a point on its surface).

The coolest thing about it is that if you have accurately synchronised your watch, you can time these events to the nearest second. Its a goal of mine to try to time one of these bright flares for when im in town someday with people, just stop, point to the exact position in the sky it will appear and count down from 5- to 1. It'd be kinda impressive

Why does this topic constantly come up?

Why do retards insist on believing in this stuff?

With about 10 seconds googling, you can correct your own ignorance to the actual facts of the case, but no, people dont bother with that. Instead they say things like "makes you wonder....oooOOOooo".


Yes it does. It makes me wonder how man evolved to this stage without some idiot in the corner going "The wheel??? Pfft, its a conspiracy by those commies over in cave 9."


Im waiting for someone to bring up the "galilio was a conspiracy theorist" argument and im saving a major rant for that.

I have watched on documentary on this.There is only going to be one answer to this.

There already is an answer.
