Do you think the moon landing was faked?


The fact that it was all done on 60's technology and without a hitch seems far fetched. Not that it couldn't happen but I find it hard to swallow and have seen lots of explanations of how it looks fake like the flag looking like wire was holding it up when it should have been all scrunched up with the different gravity, shadow lines not consistent and many other things. The Russians couldn't even get one off the ground without their rockets blowing up back then but ours went as smooth as a baby's ass. Yeah, right. Plus why did they stop going there. If it sounds like BS it probably is.
You DO realize that the flag had a rod across the top because, gosh, NASA was smart enough to realize that there was no wind on the moon to ever blow the flag. They wanted the flag to be seen, so the flag pole was designed with a rod to support the top of the flag. That's no secret - they practiced with the flag in the desert before the flights.
With sufficient telescope moon rover and its traces + devices left on moon are still visible. Maybe some pictures of moon landing were made in studio as promotion, but NASA landed definitely on moon.
My dad worked for the space program and I followed it closely as I was growing up.
I watched the TV broadcasts of the lunar landing. It never occurred to anyone at the time that it may have been faked.
But over the years, a lot of research and evidence has called the landing (s) into question. Simply dismissing that as "conspiracy theory" is not a valid rebuttal.
At this point, I'm no longer 100% positive but I'd really like to believe that the landings really happened. I tend to think they did, but I'm open to any evidence.
no it was real, i do believe some of the moon landing videos could have been fake tho. We were in such a race to prove we were more advanced than Russia during the cold war that I think our government would have cheated to make their point. There’s a conspiracy theory that Stanley Kubrick even directed those fake videos.

It WAS faked, but we actually DID go to the moon!
NASA wanted to make they had SOMETHING to show us for all the money, time and effort it took us to get there, just in case visual communications broke down between here and there because, technology, especially such long distance video tech, had not yet been perfected and COULD'VE failed at that distance! So, they had a fake landing shoot here on Earth just so they COULD switch over to that video in case of a loss of signal during the real event! So, after having seen, "2001: A Space Odyssey" the year before, they figured Stanley Kubrick would be the best one to use to pull it off! So, as he owed them a huge favour for a new and very expensive lens they had, which he borrowed from them to shoot part of "Dr. Strangelove", they got him to shoot the fake. But, they never used it.
1969 Apollo 11 Neil Armstrong and Edwin aldrin where the first to walk on the moon and there was 10 other people that walked on the moon after them the years after but that's 12 astronauts all together and there's others that where chilling in the spaceship that went along for the ride to the moon there is Apollo 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, other crew members that had to orbited the moon my point is astronauts most definitely moon walked lol fact:)! I was a space geek when I was a kid lol !
One way you could disprove that this could’ve been a set is to look at the shadow. A set would mean a light source would actually have to be close, meaning shadows wouldn’t be parallel. But a far source such as the sun would produce parallel shadows. And the shadows are indeed parallel.
It was real. The sheer cost of such an exercise would make it a very expensive prank to pull. Not to mention the thousands of people (literally thousands) who'd be involved would need to keep quiet about it. That many people signing the OSA for one event would trigger some sort investigation into abuse of legal powers.
Simples...
We were competing with the Russians to get there. Do people honestly believe that if the Russians could have proven that we didn't land, they wouldn't have plastered it all over the world to make us look like fools?
Then there is also the number of people that would be required to pull that off, all staying silent? It just doesn't happen.
I'm old enough to remember it. I watched it in real time as it happened, along with a couple billion or so other people around the world. Nobody at the time doubted it. The idea of it being fake was not something that even came up.
Well considering there is footage of the landing then yes i believe it was real.
There is footage in movies that look more real than the moon landing. The cameras they used back then were hard to operate with moon gloves on yet they got decent pics?
@Daniela1982 it is impossible to fake footage of the moon landing because the light lines on the ground are parallel with no shadows indicating millions of miles of distance
we literally don't have the technology to fake that
Thousands of people involved. It's impossible to get that many people to keep a secret unless the cause is exceptional.
it takes about 15 minutes to prove that 2 - 2 = 4...
but it can take a lifetime to be able to understand such proof... lol
Nasa went to the moon... but the pictures were faked.
You're not going to sleep any more now, kiddo.
Bella I believe that NASA actually landed astronauts on the moon and returned them safely along with a lot of moon rocks and dust.
😊🙋♂️👍
If we didn’t then the USSR would’ve called us out for faking it. They conceded the space race after we landed on the moon.
It would cost more to fake it than to actually do the math and do the deed for real.
I wasn't there to verify it. I hardly don't believe anything anymore unless I see it with my own eyes and even then you can't believe your own eyes because people just be faking ish for status and attention.
You can see the flag with a really good telescope, kinda hard to fake that.
I dont think it was faked but I do think that preparations where made to fake something about it if all had not gone well, though exactly what I dont know.
I say they really went. I can’t understand what motive they would have to fake it.
The 1% of me that thinks it is faked it due to us trying to look good during our competition with Russia and the fact that we haven't been back after 55 years of technological improvement.
That flag moving without wind is suspicious though…
Mythbusters did an episode dedicated to moon landing, and virtually all the myths that point to the moon landing being faked was busted.
And the program was threatened with cancellation if they showed it was a myth. One of the astronauts was going to spill the beans but died in the fire on the launch pad.
@Daniela1982 The fire on the launch pad of Apollo *1*? One of them somehow knew that a mission two years later?
If you believe it was faked you probably believe the Earth is flat too.
Sure, and so did the other countries who went there fake it. And the election was stolen, and both JFK and RFK were shot by lone gunman that had nothing to do anything else, AND... the Earth is flat. Next question, darlin'.
Take a telescope 🔭 and see how humans littered moon,
The moon landing was real and they brought back moon rocks.
No it wasn't, you can even see the marks of the machines that went there.
I bet the ones who said it was faked are the same people who believe in flat earth
People who are science minded know it was real. Flat earthers believe it was faked.
I heard all our moon landings were all created to just trick and bankrupt the commies.
Every optical and radio telescope on the planet was following the Apollo missions, plus the Russians were desperately trying to beat us with an unmanned probe, but their probe crashed into the moon a day or two before our landing. The Russians confirmed these missions - which were embarrassing defeats to them, considering they'd had the lead in space to that point - and if there was any evidence of the moon landings being faked, they'd have been saying so LOUDLY, as they had every reason to want us to fail.
We BARELY made it, despite it being the single largest and most expensive project the US ever undertook, and there are LOTS of serious problems, and we very, VERY nearly lost a crew (Apollo 13) who had to abandon their landing and barely made it home. Landing on the moon was incredibly dangerous, and incredibly expensive, and at the absolute limit of our capabilities at the time. The research that went into that program resulted in an explosion of technology products that we all use everyday. From the space suits, rocket engines, computers, and the first digital phones - hell, even the Sony Walkman, which was a development from the cassette player that went into space - all of that came from the Moon Landing program.
But then, a guy wrote a screenplay called Capricorn One, which became a movie, and suddenly people started believing this fictional story that the moon landings were faked. The moon landings are one of the least UNLIKELY events to have been faked - literally hundreds of thousands of people worked on the project, and people were watching from all over the world the entire time.
no, cause they left shit there that you can still see with your own eyes if you have a good enough telescope.
Growing up i had no reason to believe it was lol so i guess I always believed it
It was real. I was there
It was real. The proof is the rocks from moon.
You never know what to believe
A. Its been proven that it wasn't fake.
That would be lame if it is fake
Only idiots think it was faked.
It happened
Landing was real, but it was on Ganymede.
(Sarcastic) Ya, and also the Earth is flat. 🙄
I don't know what to believe in this situation
FAKE
C lmao
