I havent read the previous topic on this, but im going to add my thoughts anyway Cheesy

Hopefully soon they will go back, and hopefully they will prove without doubt that it wasnt faked. Wether that be photos or actual equipment left from all the landings thats brought back to earth or what, i dont know.

Ive read a lot on the various hoax theories, and came to the conclusion that most are widly,utterly and completly mad, most are proved wrong, and only one or two could mabye be genuine.

Ive also read, watched, and looked at loads of stuff on the Apollo programme as a whole, and Mercury, and the Gemini programmes before them. Its fascinating stuff, and i wish i could remember the name of a book i read that was as thick as two bricks that dealt with the apollo programme which was a book i couldnt put down, but i cant.

I can understand the reasoning behind faking 11, and carrying out the other missions in full, for real - i think anyway!

I still think that it happened as was broadcast though. If it was faked, other countries monitoring the final stage of the launch vehicle,(which usualy impacted with the moon, and registerd on equipment left from earlier landings in the case of later missions) and the spacecraft themselves, would have surely blown the whistle.

It would be too good for the russians NOT to proclaim the americans had faked it, imagine the scenes if they had done given the climate at the time!

Unless 11 just orbited the moon, without actualy landing. But if you go all that way, why just not the hell land?

Apollo 8 came close to the lunar surface, but had no lander,  and Apollo 10's lander came within about 8 miles of the lunar surface. Why do all this then fake 11?

When Nasa do go back, hopefully we will then really know!

I'm not a fan of Mythbusters (I think they're annoying dorks) but I went out of my way to watch this one.  I was never a hoax believer but if I were ...

Unparallel shadows - Completely convinced

Light in shadow - Completely convinced

Footprints in powder and 1/6 G "hop" - They can't completely duplicate these on Earth but NASA could not have predicted these effects based on Earthbound observations.  Mostly convinced.

You don't have to like them to agree with their results. That last video with the retroreflectors is indisputable evidence that we went to the moon.

I forgot about that one.

But the hoaxers are so convinced that if the UN commissioned an independent fleet to land at every Apollo landing site, and if that commission came back with photos and artifacts and eyewitness testimony, they would claim that the UN commission was a hoax.  We can't win!

There will always be doubters. Here's my idea. In NASA's upcoming Constellation Program to return to the moon by 2020, they should send a consirator as a passenger. That would clear up most of the conspiracies.

NASA to Take Photos of Lunar Landing Sites, End Conspiracy Theories

Quote:
NASA has confirmed to Gizmodo that the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will take photos of all the Apollo landing sites:

Jesus Diaz: Would the LRO return images of the moon landings when it flies over them?

Grey Hautaluoma (NASA Headquarters, Office of Public Affairs): Yes, it will. We don't have a timeline yet for viewing the Apollo sites, but it will be in the near future.


It won't end the conspiracy theories, because the new photos will be fakes.  A circle has no end.

Whoopi Is As Dumb As She Looks

Quote:
Forty years ago today, as he became the first man to ever walk on the Moon, Neil Armstrong uttered some of the most famous words ever spoken. “This is one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” Today, on the anniversary of that quote and accomplishment, Whoopi Goldberg showed that she is as smart as she looks, by stating she questioned whether the moon landing was real or staged.

There have always been people who believed the landing was a hoax, but very few have ever been dumb enough to admit this on national television. Among her more intelligent remarks were “if it was real, who was taking the pictures?” and “why does the flag have ripples, if there’s no wind?” Also, in a crazy twist, Barbara Walters (pronounced “Bah-wah Wah-wah) served as the voice of reason in this exchange. She pointed out that there have been 5 moon landings, total *, so even if that one was staged, there were 4 other landings.


Good timing, Whoopi, 3 days after pictures of the landers were published.

(* In fact there were 6 manned moon landings, not 5.)

To be honest it doesn't really matter now whether it was faked or not. The important thing is that the object of the exercise was achieved. You have to appreciate the political situation of the time to understand the implications of failure.



And the implications of 40 years of Lies being told as truth?

or am I taking your post out of context Doug?

Anyway, for what its worth, I'm a believer.... Cheesy
