So when I see guys jumping maybe 12GÇ¥, if that, in a 1/6 gravity environment with no air resistance, IGÇÖm not really all that impressed.

Can we agree that Soviets landed remote controlled vehicles, Lunakhods, on the Moon?

Remotes are not the issue. Im talking about manned landings. Yes, remotes have been to the moon and mars and some other places.

Get a telescope - the landing site is there.

Conspiracies are fun topics, but the evidence is kinda weak when all you need to do is look through a telescope to prove it wrong.

Sorry to burst your hubble.

very convincing arguments

So do any of those links explain how we got the Lunar laser ranging experiment on the moon? Either the photographs of that equipment are fake and NASA used a rover like Lunokhod or unmanned robots from 1969 onwards planted those retroreflector arrays

Seriously, NASA is a huge organisation that is over 50 years old, things get lost, stolen, misplaced... hell most of the senior people who worked on the Apollo program are probably dead by now. The whole undertaking was a huge effort by a lot of people, if it was a masterfully disguised operation it's one of the best kept secrets in history.

conspiranoid

I can say this. the lunar samples are cool and fun to study. Just saying the physical rock evidence we brought back outweighs any conspiracy theorist.

And lets say it was faked. Do you want Eisenhower Impeached? Want to make him go shake hands with Khrushchev and be a good sport about it? Oh right, they're both dead... Do you want to argue with NASA/The World that they can't really do that? Oh right, technology has been moving forward for 40 years... It's a dead end discussion with no consequence for those alive today no matter how you spin it.

Damn those fake landings and outrageous lengths the US is going to to keep the truth covered up!

Like planting fake landing sites on the moon to take pictures of

The links address those pics...and it is a NASA site you are linking to.

Imagine the repercussions if the landings turned out to be faked. Even if those involved are long dead, it gives the US a longer nose than pinocchio and would probably start a new space race for another country to be first.

Im a science and technology geek and a die hard NASA fan.

NASA was very cool, very cutting edge IMO and I scoffed at people that said we never landed onthe moon. Being a fair person though I listened to their arguments.

Well, it is a damn good argument. In fact, so good that I no longer believe we landed on the moon. I also came to the conclusion that NASA is full of ****.

Big 180 for me.

Here are two links with very convincing arguments. Makes for interesting reading.

Your thoughts?


PS. I also think the Mythbusters sold out on their Moon conspiracy episode as they had NASA helping them out with their experiments.

Of course, had they found the myth plausible, it probably never would have made it on the air....so it was joke from the start.

There are no repercussions.

There is no space race to start because everyone knows the U.S. and Russia could both pull it off today and neither one wants to throw the money at doing so right now.

The only thing you'd see is a reaction from China because their government so full of corruption and lies our greatest conspiracy theories about our own governments in the US and UK can't do it justice. They would blow some of our money they've gotten in trade on a manned mission to the moon with stolen/copied tech, and then claim they were the only nation that could do it. Every big name in world politics would ignore them and giggle about them at parties when they're not around.

However, they seem to be trying to put a man on the moon anyway, and everyone already laughs behind China's back.

I'm sure they'll give the first Chinese man to stand on the moon a lead medal, but if you don't believe in a U.S. moon landing I don't know why you'd believe China.

Because the soviets would have just gone along with a fake moon landing by their enemy
