    Are you going to present that evidence, or are we just supposed to know what you have been looking at?

    True. Obviously. There would be absoloutely no reason faking all of them. After Apollo 14 there was no real public interest.Also, they wouldn't have cancelled Apollo 18,19,20 due to budget problems.For,although going to the moon was expensive using an aircraft hanger wasn't.

    False, man never went to the moon. The Americans fooled the world. Seriously it is very funny to actually see how much evidence points to a fake moon landing filmed in some studio with the same backgrounds in every scene! very clever though.

    Never believed man landed on the moon. I have loads of books about this. It was just a propaganda mission against the Russians who were more technically advanced than the Americans.

    that link gives a few pointers but generally

    we still have no way of landing a craft on the moon and being able to take off again without 18mths prep.

    the flag blowing even without any atmosphere.

    pictures show two shadows....where from......possibly studio lighting.../it was the 60s...

    neil armstong is very old...its time he told the trth..

    If that were the case, why would the Russians cooperate with the US, rather than expose the hoax? I have asked this same question in every 'moon hoax' thread I have taken part in, and no-one has ever answered it. Perhaps you can be the first?

    Why bother? You've lost the political race and there really isn't anything else there worth the investment. They used unmanned probes for the science.

    What sort of a question is that? lol. The space shuttle is a design over 40 years old. Does it still not run?

    Funny how you don't apply this same logic to, the visual special effects used to create this hoax, which I think is a far more valid technical question.

    It hardly leaves the earths atmosphere. It hasn't ventured any further than that. How come the Yanks haven't done it since??? And how was the technology available in 1969????????

    Triangulation of signals had been around for many years in 1969. When the Russians, (and the Brits, and the Australians, and the South Africans, and thousands of amateurs) monitored the signals from the Eagle, and triangulated them, why didn't they speak out and mention the fact that they were coming from a studio in California and not the Moon? Anyone with a basic radio receiver, and a friend a few hundred miles away, could have worked out if the signal were coming from the Earth or the Moon. If the Russians saw it was a fake, why did the keep quiet about it?

    Again, this really is, for me, the fundamental question for anyone who thinks it was a hoax to answer. And it's the one they all seem to avoid. If you can give me a reasonable answer as to why the Russians agreed to hush up the 'hoax', you'd have my thanks for ever.

    the space race at the time time of the moon landings and prior to them was political dynamite the usa lost face as they put it "to a nation that cant build a freekin refrigerator"
    when kennedy propossed a moon landing it was met with shock from nasa and the world considering america had only put a craft in orbit for 12 minutes and 1 in 3 rockets exploded on the launch pad .
    he set a deadline of 10 years for a moon landing .
    prior to the moonshot there was practice launches that covered docking ,re entry , manual guidance etc some of the practice sessions resulted in mistakes like landing off course using to much fuel false reports from instruments
    and one near fatal mis launch .
    the final moon launch used a stripped down version of its original design and went without flaw something most of the previous missions into space had not been so fortunate to experience .
    politically the moon landings boosted western confidence and dented russias .

    Watch in the Shadow of the Moon. There is more previously unseen footage.

    What's your point? This is what I'm saying. After Apollo 12 hardly anyone in America cared about going to the moon anymore. Infact so much so news channels didn't even carry Apollo 13's launch untill it went wrong.Therefore if they were a hoax or all about moral boosting, they would have cut them a long time before. Yet they carried on till 17,but had planned till 20. I would say cutting their ties early makes America look bad on the world stage, which doesn't fo much for moral.

    Also why send a geologist in the form of Harrison Schmitt up there, if he's not going to be apart of 'the show' and make a discovery to boost 'ratings'/moral.
