Did men really walked on the moon??

I have read that man has never walked on the moon and that the first video shot on the moon was fake. It was even proved to be fake. I understand that man might have not walked on the moon, but I don't understand why they had to fake that.

They either could have faked it to win the "space race" it had with Russia, or to cover up something that they found there. Now that really makes you think; maybe they did go there, but they found something significant, and so they had to fake one to cover up what they found. Crafty, crafty governments and agencies they are!

I also heard of the space race. They also mentionned about this. Do you really think they might have found something significant? I don't think so, the video of the first men to walk on the moon was proven to be fake, and they showed some evidence that makes this video a fake.

There was also a big thing in the news awhile ago about how NASA "lost" the original recordings. Getting rid of the evidence.

Trust me, they didn't fake it, they COULDN'T have faked it. It would have harder to fake it then it was to actually put a man on the moon I guaranty that every point hoax believers have made has been utterly stomped in to oblivion by the facts of the mission. there isn't5 a single point they have raised that hasn't been answed by good sound science. Most of the hoax believers beliefs stem from a broad lack of understanding of the science and technology that went in the Apollo missions and space and astronomy in general.

This is an easy one. From clavius.org: " The simple answer is inertia. The Apollo flag assembly starts with a telescoping tubular pole shoved vertically into the lunar soil. But the resemblance to terrestrial flag arrangements stops there. On earth we attach flags to the pole at the top and bottom corners. And the same would work on the moon, except that the flag would hang limply without ever being visible for what it was......" The explanation continues here: http://www.clavius.org/envflutter.html Clavius is probably the best source going for information countering all the moon hoax theories. there isn't anything raised by hoax theorists that hasn't been competently answered there.

I would like to point out something. Do you know that in this video the flag of america was moving like there was a breeze blowing towards it. Well, this does not makes any sense since the moon has no atmosphere, no wind, no rain, nothing. and the speed at which they walked was proven to be fake, actually we cannot walk on the moon at this speed. I forgot to mentionned that the moon has no ozone, the stars when watched when you sit on the moon are brighter, the video only contained some white dots paint-brush style.

I have heard a lot of controversies about this matter, so I really cannot judge if what you are saying is totally right or wrong, however I remember that the spokesman of NASA Brian Welch said that the images of the man walking on the moon was like that because of the technology at that time and the Investigative journalist Brian Sibrel believes that NASA intentionally made the images hard to see. There is also the gravity issue where the man seems to run as on the earth gravity instead of walking as the gravity on the moon which is 1.6. The flag waving is also an issue as when there is no air and wind on the moon, why is the American flag waving? Moon Hoax Investigator, Bill Kaysing said that the way the flag was waving means that there had to be some blow of wind at that time. The camera they took with them was very difficult to manipulate according to Jan Lundberg, project engineer, so how come the men succeeded take thousand of pictures and to bend their head while they were not able to have a proper view around them? Then there were artificial lightnings too. They had only the sun as a means of light so where did the extra light came from? Shadows were cast in multiple directions so it shows there are infact artificial lightings. The man seems to be standing in a spot light though instead of having his shadows in a vertical direction it was in front of him when the sun was behind infact. The pictures are shot at various places as the NASA stated but why they have identical backgrounds? There are many controversies that infact men did never go on the moon. I think maybe NASA should be honest for once.

Hi reploid..... I don't know why its really big matters. I think we walk on moon or not is not really important because there is no gravity there so even they can walk they must be put so many weight so they wont floating. I think the most important part is we already landed is moon, that is a steep forward in science.

Actually, there is gravity on the moon, just not as much as there is on earth. they would now have needed weight to keep them from floating off. The moon has 1/6 the gravity of earth, more than enough to keep things from floating off. If there was no gravity at all, then all of the small rocks and dirt particles would have floated off eons ago.

Mythbusters did an episode addressing some of the main points that conspiracy theorists make to prove it was a hoax. Every single one of those arguments was disproved by the team. Conspiracy theorists claim that the moon landing was a hoax for various reasons - because it was a time period when the cold war was heating up, to boost American morale, and one of the more ridiculous reasons I've heard is that they actually did land on the moon, but there was evidence of aliens so they had to cover it up by filming on earth. So, to answer your question - all evidence points to humans having landed on the moon.

It wasn't faked. Really, they reached moon. But I believe that NASA lied about some things like the universe, the galaxy above and few things about the planets and there are reasons for that.

I am actually up in the air about this issue. I can't say for sure that I believe it, but I can't say for sure that it was faked either. I do believe that it is POSSIBLE that we were actually there on the moon, but then again, I don't really know how feasible this task would have been with the limited technologies that were available at the time this event supposedly took place. In 1969, we where not nearly as technologically advanced as we are today. I guess the only people who know for sure are Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and the people who were employed by NASA at the time... Deep down, however, I do NOT believe that they faked it...

For so many years the elusive voyage to the outer space has finally happen and of course it wont be perfect if there will be no photos to proved that it really happened. And people all around the world was amazed because we are able to conquer the other planet around us. If the picture was proven to be faked so everything was just an illusions. If it is really faked then it could be true. They need to provide photos to make the charade go on or at least cover up their failures. I just don't like when they fool many people who believe so easily with their presentations.

I read it somewhere too, i don't know who to believe... The government hide many things and they can be big liars and cheat everyone...
