Continue Reading Apollo Moon Landing Hoax – Scientific Evidence
hey smart guy, try to answer why we can receive signal from the mirror on the moon?
http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2004/images/llr/A11_LRRRfull.gif
oh! we did not land on the moon but hey!
who put the lunar laser ranging retro reflector on the moon?
well… the Apollo 11 folk…! wasn’t it?
don’t try to skip the fact, and try to proof your conspiracy hoax.
Reflectors on moon.From unmanned probes sent to calculate distance.I dont know enough to say man did not land on moon.But i know for FACT that probes where sent many times before 1969.
Have you ever heard of probes?
Moon radio transmission recordings… I guess even easier to fake than the images and videos.
Recent, picture of scientific equipments left behind… have you ever heard of probes?
haha
I can’t wait for their excuse not to try the promised come back on 2020!
This link was bad.
Mirrors only reflect signals, not transmit them stupid.
Was american technology advaced enough 40 years to land on Moon after repeated failure of launching merely for space? USA was not able to carry out successful launches and send rockets? to space at that time rather than landing on Moon! NASA made world countries believe that americans are just liers,frauds and scams.the whole drama was a hoax-conspiracy theory.NASA was effected and runn by American politician rather than Scientists.
your all wackjobs
You can reflect a laser off the moon’s surface.
No reflector required.
Oops! Be careful, you may hurt some geek intellect when they are convinced they did the exact math to pinpoint the laser beam direction to target a specific area for that purpose. Really? You can bounce a laser from any spot on the moon? That I didn’t know, but hey, as long as you point it at the bright side, right?
That is why no one takes you HBs seriously. You can’t get your stories straight. We see HBs saying robotic probes put the laser reflectors on the Moon… and then other HBs who say the lasers were simply reflected off the lunar surface. Which is it?
True, but a lot more of the laser’s light is reflected when a reflector is used. The reflectors reflect all light back in the direction it came from. Light reflected off the lunar surface refracts in many directions, only a small percentage of it returns to the observatory that the laser originated from. That means there is a significant difference in the power of the returning laser light when a reflector is used.
Clearly something is at the location of the LRRRs left on the Moon by the Apollo astronauts.
MythBusters send a laser pulse from JPL to the moon. If you watch the video carefully you’ll notice all they received on her laptop was a few photons. The 1 GW laser puts a two foot spot on the moon and even with the best targeting a 2 foot reflector could not be hit at that distance.

How did the lunar module take off from the moon and find the exact orbit to re unite with the mothership? There was no computer navigation, the astronauts had no vision (no windows) . They only had manual joysticks. That would have been an impossibility in 1969.
Let’s see the disinfo crew answer that one???????

I have often wondered how they got the lunar rover onto the moon as it must have been heavy and where did they put it?
RE: Bob the Dog’s comment about the lunar rover “must have been heavy”….not really. It only weighed around 470 pounds. As for stowage, it was designed to fold up and store in an area between two of the LM’s legs.
And for the nay-sayers, I can *FLY* at 450AGL with a Paraplane PM-2 that weighs less than 250 lbs and folds up to fit in the trunk of my car.
@pixelpete:
What on Earth are you talking about? Yes, the LM had computer navigation (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_PGNCS) and there were windows on the LM (mostly for rendezvous with the CSM).
Jeez. Where do you people *get* this stuff?
There were computers specifically designed for navigation.
You can even download the schematics from the internet.
Not that you would have a clue how to read them.
I think someone needs gas. Go help them out will you.
Aha, the moon landing must be fake as in the backround you could see a flag blowing in the wind,But! as there is no air in space then the flag would not
have been blowing in the wind
Niel Armstrong stated that they were lucky to reach the moon because they nearly run out of fuel, they only had thirty seconds of fuel left. If that is the case can Niel please tell me where they got the fuel from to return to the earth. I suppose some will say the Americans discovered an oil field up there,
@William Swithin i hope you know that there were to crafts. One orbited the moon and the other landed. they used the thirty seconds of fuel to get into orbit then the command module picked them up. PS to people saying they had no windows and no computers your wrong…..dead wrong
To address some comments posted here:
-The flag only moved when the astronauts were planting it. When they are not near the flag you never see it “wave”.
-The camera that filmed Armstrong descending to the surface was attached to one of the legs of the LM. Armstrong deployed the camera by pulling a lanyard. The camera mounted on the Lunar Rover was remote-controlled by Mission Control.
-The LM was made of two modules: the Descent Module (which contained the engine and fuel for the landing) and the Ascent Module (which contained the engine and fuel for lifting off and rendezvousing with the Command Module).
-Landing on the Moon versus returning to Earth: we have craft that can land softly on the Earth. They are called helicopters and Harriers. But perhaps you are refering to something landing that uses a rocket? Google “rocket equation” and it will be immediately apparent why they are not practical.
-When astronomers transmit lasers to the exact location of the reflectors they see a return signal a thousand times stronger than when the lasers are not pointed at the reflectors.
-Probes being sent to the Moon does not prove men didn’t land on the Moon. Stating such without proving the probes did all the work the astronauts did is fallacious logic.
-This may come as a surprise to some of you, but computers were not necessary to navigate to the Moon, land, lift-off, and return to the Earth. They just made the job easier. NASA had contingency plans to continue with the mission if the guidance system or the computers failed. Why do you assume a computer was necessary? Because you read that on some conspiracy website and accepted it without question.
-Get an old timey camera that only has manual settings. Go out in the daytime and take a picture. Do not adjust the settings. Wait until nightfall. Go out and take a picture of the stars. Get your film developed. Count how many stars you see. Report back here with your findings.
To capture the brightest star in the sky on ISO 1000 film requires a minimum exposure time of 3 seconds. A typical daytime exposure is
about 1/500 of a second.

The ascent stage had it’s own separate fuel supply from the descent stage, shown in this cutaway diagram: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4a/LM_illustration_02.jpg
Fuel to the moon + fuel to land on the moon + fuel needed to leave the moon + fuel to return to earth = total fuel required.
The incident you are referring to is the landing. They came close to using up all of the fuel required for landing on the moon. Had they not landed when they did, they would have had to use some of the lift off fuel. And that would have been a problem. Though, the landing engine and the lift off engine were in two different sections so they probably weren’t even connected, fuel wise.
I just watched the “A funny thing happened on the way to the moon”, beyond all the irregularities shown on this video, there are some that are not discussed there, the first one is that radio signals should have a 2 second delay to reach earth and another 2 seconds to get back to the moon, but they have a less than 1 second delay in their conversations with Houston!!
The other fact is that they used the technology available 50 years ago to accomplish this mission that was only a scientific prototype. like they used a stone-age guidance computer that it’s computing power is now surpassed by a sub 100$ mobile phone!!! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Guidance_Computer)
So if it was feasible to do so in the sixties, why isn’t it feasible now???? The capitalist Americans would have built hotels on the moon by now to recover their investment!
Please also consider the fact discussed in the movie that THERE WERE NO STARS VISIBLE FROM THE MOON!!! it’s ridiculous!!

It is scientifically feasible today. In fact, the reason we don’t send men to the moon anymore is mainly that technology is so much better now we don’t need to send people.
There’s very little benefit in sending men. They weigh a lot, need food and oxygen and all that life support which is just wasted weight. Now we have remote robots and far more sophisticated sensors, reducing the benefit of a person vs. the best electronics. So why spend extra money and risk a life?
As far as guidance systems go, the physics involved in planetary calculations are so elementary that they could probably be worked out on the back of a napkin – very little need for a computer-based guidance system. Of course, the more sophisticated the computer, the greater number of things that can be calculated, but for basic movement, timings and geolocation, anyone as highly trained as astronauts are can easily do all the necessary calculations by hand. Even so, there were, in fact, some rudimentary computers on board the spacecraft and in use at Mission Control.

Exactly. Why send a man that requires food, water, oxygen, etc, when you can send a robot.
“I just watched the ‘A funny thing happened on the way to the moon'”
I wouldn’t base my beliefs on that video if I were you. It is one of the most poorly researched and intentionally deceptive videos I have ever seen.
“radio signals should have a 2 second delay to reach earth and another 2 seconds to get back to the moon, but they have a less than 1 second delay in their conversations with Houston!!”
But the recordings are made in Houston, so the delays only need to be apparent in one direction.
For example, if Houston asks Neil Armstrong a question there will be a delay before he responds. But if Neil Armstrong asks Houston a question there will be no delay between him asking the question and Houston responding.
Also, sometimes the astronauts could anticipate the question and would begin responding before Houston finished asking it. So in that case the delay would appear to be missing.
“A Funny Thing Happened On The Way to the Moon” is only 47 minutes long, so obviously they didn’t show you all of the hundreds of hours of audio recordings from Apollo. How do you know they were telling you the truth about the lack of delays?
“So if it was feasible to do so in the sixties, why isn’t it feasible now????”
It is technically feasible to go to the Moon now, but the capability to build Apollo spacecraft no longer exists. That means NASA has to basically start from scratch if they want to go back to the Moon.
Go ask Ford to build you a 1969 Mustang. They can’t because their factories are no longer set up for that and most (if not all) of the 1969 Ford employees have retired or died. That means if they wanted to create an exact replica of a 1969 car they’d have to reconfigure their factories and relearn how to build the car. It could be done, but it would be really expensive. You would have to convince the CEO of Ford that it was worth the cost.
To return to the Moon you would need to design a new spacecraft capable of getting there. It is expensive and you would have to convince the US Congress (who controls NASAs budget) that it is worth the cost.
“The capitalist Americans would have built hotels on the moon by now to recover their investment!”
The US government is not in the hotel business. If private industry decides there is money to be made from Moon hotels they will build them.
“THERE WERE NO STARS VISIBLE FROM THE MOON!!! it’s ridiculous!!”
It is impossible to photograph stars and the lunar surface at the same time. The lunar surface is far brighter than the stars… if you photograph the surface the stars don’t show up, if you photograph the stars you have to avoid light contamination from the surface or you’ll over expose the film.
The stars look absolutely the same from the Moon as they do from Earth. There was no reason for the astronauts to go out of their way to photograph stars when anyone with access to a telescope on Earth could do a better job.

This is what the late, not-terribly-lamented Constellation project was all about; the Ares boosters, the Orion spacecraft, and the Altair lunar lander. Unfortunately, the program was unsustainable at current funding levels.
Well Well. For All The Non- believers, the countrys of India and Japan Have Photographic proof that the landings were real. Both of these countries used the latest technology and took photos clearly showing the landing sites of both apollo 11 and 15. You can find these sites on the web. The landing pads, flags footpaths are easily visible. In other words it really happened!! Japan really has some great pics from a moon orbiter that recently went and so does India. But i guess maybe someone will say america paid these countries off or maybe they rolled down their windows and chunked the stuff out and it just happened to land at those exact sites. Oh the life of non- believers. Have a nice day!!

I’m always looking for a new perspective and would be glad to have a look at those Apollo mission sites on the moon taken by either Indian or Japanese missions. Were can I view those photos? If someone can feed links here it would be great.
P.S.: For the sake of impartiality I would also like that those images would not be hosted by NASA servers.
going to moon is easy nothing to stop us why bother to think about it the aliens live on mars anyway they don’t care about moon
