America's 'lunar landing' hoax

[drewplox]

I believe America did not land on the moon, and there is much proof of this.

1) The flag was blowing as if there was an atmosphere.
2) There were no craters from when the apollo ship took off.
3) Shadows are supposed to be parralel from one light source, but the shadows were like this " /\ "
4) One of the rocks on the moon was perfectly rounded and had the letter "C" on it, as if it was from a hollywood setup. The rocks perfectly rounded, how with no wind or anything to erode it?
5) there was light where there should be darkness, by this I mean: the sun was on one side of the lunar module. Although on the other side the astronaut was walking down his back side was completely lit.
6) No stars in any pictures of the moon, how is this possible. There is no atmosphere to block all this out.

reason behind all of this: America was at a "space race" with the soviet union, and they were way behind. The soviets had the first object to orbit the Earth, and the first objects in to space. The U.S decided to fake all this so that they could "catch up" on the far behind of the race.

if it was fake, it would have been exposed by now, you have good reasons, but i do not think that it is plausible.

Not really, in the UK we have the Offical Secrets Act, which can only last for up to 100years after that it is avaliable for public knowledge.

i did not know that, im sorry

Oh I believe They faked the moon landing too. It was somewhere filmed in Arizona or texas, maybe utah


I live in America...but really, america blows when it comes to government and not telling all the truth.

Haha, are you kidding?

The flag had poles in it to hold it up. Actually look at the pictures pls.

 

[ii cbow ii]

You may think it was fake, but as said...It would have been revealed by now...
No way in hell it would be unsolved by now.

 

[BootyLove]

Please, explain. By the way, Russia had the first voyage to the moon. Hence, we (America), went on a voyage to the moon in 1969. It was a race between us, and Russia.

I swear every post I see by you has something stupid in it.


He's saying the flag is blowing as if there was wind on the moon. And anybody with a 3rd grade education knows there can't be wind without oxygen and there isn't any oxygen on the moon.

1) The flag pole was proven to be springy

2) There was no craters, but a lot of gravel like rocks, and dust was moved.

3) The moon isn't 100% flat. Only an idiot would consider this proof.

4) I have no clue.

5) It all has to do with the camera. Much like eyes need to adjust, the camera had to adjust.

I'll make this simple <3

The flag was creased. Because it was folded. It was held up, unfolding it and exposing the creases, because it had a pole along the top.

What would america have to gain about faking a moon landing. They've been in space and since then have done other moon landings. I think this is jsut one of those made up conspiracies.

It wasn't just about going into space, it was about the moon. It was a race between Russia and the United States to see who could land on the moon first. But really the U.S. was probably just pissed about the whole Sputnik thing so they had plenty to gain from faking a moon landing. An old-fashioned American "In your face" deal. Americans will never change...

 

[DarkSpark]

i am so sick of hearing all you fucking conspiracy theorists make up lame excuses as to why it isn't true. Who really gives a shit ?

Let me explain several issues with you. Firstly there are many issues with the photo MAYBE because it is a damn old camera which wasn't quite the best quality.

And as for the shapes of rocks. Over billions of years wind or no, there can and would be some sort of erosion. Even if it is just the sun slowly heating the rocks and flaking minute particles off

Sadly most of these point have been completely debunked.
1. Newton's third law of motion: every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
2. ?? Do you mean there was no blast crater under the module? This is one of the only pieces of evidence still unexplained.
3. The shadows are consistent with that of a very far away lightsource, like the sun. They follow perspective correctly, as parallel shadows should.
4. The 'C' turned out to be a hair. Its not on the original film reel double.
5. The presence of 'fill in lighting' is still largely unexplained. It isnt implausible, however, that the type of film used is responsible for the lack of contrast, just as the speed of the film is responsible for the lack of stars.
6. The speed of the film was too fast to catch many stars. A couple of stars are on a couple of photos.


Having studied the moon landings, and the various hoax theories, quite extensively I've made a few conclusions.

If it were faked it would need to be done outside, at night, with a huge light source at least 20 km away, in order to achieve the right lighting environment. This could be done in a desert.

The cinematography of the faking would need to be done before-the-fact. Then a real ship would have needed to be launched with a signal reflector. The whole realtime event would need to be staged with most people in NASA not in-the-know.

It is entirely possible they went to the moon without putting people on it. This would have been within the scope of the technology of the day. Putting men on the moon really wasn't.

I want to add my two cents to all this :
Stanley Kubrick !
The link between this guy and "the moon landing" is very strong, Some say that all he did was a bunch of directed photos (and colored) to "enhance" the moon landing phenomena, other are saying : "Moon landing , directed by Stanley Kubrick".

1) The flag was stuffed in a cansiter so when it was removed, it was left wrinkled so that it appears to be "waving".
2) Go look up stuff about why there weren't any craters. I can't remember.
3) Provide a picture.
4) The "C" was a misprint.
5) Provide a picture.
6) The bright surface of the moon prevents you from seeing the stars. It's like trying to view them in the day on earth basically.

1) The flag was suppossed to look like this. The way the astronauts postioned it, one of the rods on the flagpole didn't extend all the way. The effect was like a closed curtain. Answer: You're wrong, because the flag wasn't moving.
2) When they landed, they eased off the exhaust. They also had a throttle, and spread out the thrust, to somewhere around 1.5 pounds per square inch.
3) The sun is the only source of light. You must remember that this was a 3-dimensional scene, captured on a 2-dimensional medium. This causes distortions.
4) Even on the moon, there are still factors that can cause erosion. Remember, the moon has been around for hundreds of millions of years. Thats alot of time for something to erode.
5) Light from the camera.
6) Ok, on the moon, the conditions are way different than on earth. Even though you can't see the sun, it's there. All of the lunar landings were done at early morning on the moon. Now, the sun of course is bright. When they took pictures, they set the exposure time to be fast to account for the sun. The stars are faint. They wouldn't have time to register on the film.
