Whether the conspiracy was possible or if there was a motive for faking the landings, is a big part of the moon hoax.
Many conspiracy debunkers say that there was no reason for the US to fake the moon landings.
This is false, as at the time America was publicly losing the space race, as Russia had put the:
First man/woman in space.
First animal in space.
First three person mission in space.
And the first space station in orbit.
Even though these landmarks were achieved using crude methods, (i.e. putting a man on a rocket or adding a extra man on a two maned spaceship) to the public eye, it would seem as if the US were losing the space race. And ‘IF’, and only if the US couldn’t put a man on the moon in time, then the deadline that JFK set, and public pressure, could have forced the government to fake a moon landing.
So the US did have a motive for faking a moon landings, but how would NASA have carried out this enormous conspiracy?
There are two options: Wide spread and Minimal.
Wide Spread Conspiracy
In this hoax imagine that you are the contractors, NASA tells you about the moon landing conspiracy and pays you for your services that your not giving. You make announcement to the public telling them that your making rocket parts. (This is for the share holders.) Then at the first day of work you tell everybody in the factory that their not really making rocket parts, and that if they play this out they’ll be set for life. Employees that don’t comply get stern death threats from NASA officials.
The advantage to this is type of conspiracy is, no real equipment has to be made, except for a rocket to go up and a lander to come down.
The disadvantage to this is how many people are told about the conspiracy. At one point over half a million people were involved in the Apollo project at one time, and the conspiracy believers are saying that no one came forward even on their death beds (dead men/women can not be killed) and out of all of those people nobody saw a sense of duty to tell the people of their country the truth!!
Also were are all of the people who worked at Apollo and are now living it up with their “keep quiet” money (if you can find any millionaires, that worked at places like Rocketdyne, at the time that the rockets were being made (or not), they got their money from no apparent source, and their around about 50+ please notify me at moonhoax@gmail.com.)
Minimal Conspiracy
In this conspiracy only the top people of NASA are told. The good news about this, is that these people work for NASA, so the secret will die with them.
The bad news is the contractors will think that their making real rocket parts, and so they will make a flight worthy rocket, and even though the NASA quality control wont care if the rocket works, the contractors will, and will notice if their is something wrong with their merchandise, so NASA’s rockets would be flight worthy, and if so, there would be no reason to fake the moon landings.
But many conspirators say that NASA just told the people what to make, and they made it.
Think about it, NASA hire these people because they know there stuff. Even a junior engineer, wouldn’t need the full picture of the space craft designs to make their own bit of the rocket.
All this doesn’t make sense. Unless, it wasn’t the rockets themselves that were wrong, but something else that wouldn’t work, (i.e. they couldn’t stop radiation damage ((see above))) then the contractors could build a space worthy rocket to get to the moon, without them knowing that their was some unforeseen problem. BUT this would cost a lot of money for something that would never be used.
Keeping the Moon Conspiracy Alive
But there is one smudge, on the squeaky clean slate of NASA’s record. If we sent 6 manned spacecraft to the moon in ten years, then why in 30 years with so many technological advances haven’t we been back once? NASA says that there was a budget cut and this can be explained for the first 10 years after the Apollo missions, because of the build up of nuclear weapons (due to the cold war) would have cost money that could have been taken away from NASA.
But what about the other twenty years? Some people say that the risks are too high to justify another moon landing, but there will always be somebody ready and willing to risk it all, for the good of mankind and scientific advancement. A possibility is we still don’t have the technology to go to the moon, because we didn’t go to the moon in the first place.
Moon Conspiracy Conclusion
In my opinion, the Apollo moon landings were most probably real. There will always be an unease in my mind by the fact that we have never been back. But the conspiracy believers haven’t given ‘conclusive’ proof, that isn’t available without a price.

74 responses to Apollo Moon Landing Hoax – Why Fake a Moon Landing?
“How could anyone have faked this sort of stuff with the photographic capabilities of 1969?”..(the commentator, a believer, was refering to the photos of the apollo space craft in moon orbit, the illustration of the reduction of gravitational force allowing the astronaults to jump up and down in a smooth fashion, and rock samples brought back from the moon, etc).
If this were true, how do you suppose we’d land on the moon lacking so much technology? Don’t you think that if we had the technology to go to the moon, we’d definitely have technology to fake a moon landing?
We DO have plausible arguments on why we should go back to the moon (had we gone on the first place). But NASA is telling us (among many other stories) that it’s still not safe, or because of budget cuts. It’s funny how easy it is to sustain those arguments after the preceding unfortunate Columbia and Challenger tragedy?

Apollo Moon Landing Hoax – Why Fake a Moon Landing?
Sorry bout my writing skills.
Really!!! You know my favorite part of this. Is how everyone that are non believers say’n why havent we gone back? Well how many times do we have to go some where to finish the mision at hand? They where finding out that a rocket that brakes up in three or four parts before it even gets in to real outer space, Then has to go and split up again to land the LM on the moon. Then again to get off the moon. then hook up with the Lunar orbiter. Just to go and do it one more time to get back home was like way to much. And for what to go kick some more rocks around and take some pitcures. There was money to be made back. And to save bye come’n up with a better plan. For come’n and go’n. With out all the stuff they paid big bucks for just going to waste (well not waste). If every time you went to a drive in movie and you had to leave your car there when the move was over because you had to drive off a cliff and jump out and parachute to get home you wouldn’t go back. Or you would find away to do it. Bye drive’n off the ciff and landing the car safely on its wheel’s. Or some thing.
What was there 6 moon landings? You know they put a reflector of some type on the surface that they used to tell if the moon and earth where moving away from each other. There are space ships right now that have been sending us pictures form the other planets. I think the one ship was only to last a few years and its been like 20. Not for sure about the time but its true I belive. We have landed what 3 ships on Mars. How can any one say or think that we never landed on the moon.

Apollo Moon Landing Hoax – Why Fake a Moon Landing?
all that can be explained due to the fact that the moon itself reflects light and therefore any light would then multilpy as the sun or even the lunars lights u tard look it up and the fact that the moon reflects light would explain the shadows not matching up ur a really dumb idiot dont know what ur talking about dont talk about it u giant tard

The problem is that all this looked more like a PR action, not a real physical experiment as it supposed to be. For example, we saw how the astronauts brushed their teeth, but we never saw how they left the Apollo cabin for the lunar module, how they made all those complex movements (do you all know that they needed (all 7 missions) to turn 180 deg in space and lock with the lunar module that was going behind ??), etc.
all we know is that many of pictures bear the traces of staging/postprocessing and that some 380 kg of moon rocks brought as the only real evidence have disappeared in the NASA archives.

Nasa have now cleaned-up the old video and also released pictures of footprints etc on the mood from the orbiting space ship.
Spooky!

America is a nation that values money and power, not truth. Furthermore, people who decided to fake it could have done so *FOR THE CAUSE OF PATRIOTISM*. They could easily have been convinced that it was better for the American people’s morale if they believed that the US had won. Think about it: how fearful were people of the Soviets? More than a little, and the perception of primacy is as good as primacy itself. Furthermore, the US “won” the space race so the Soviets quit? Why didn’t they go to the moon anyway? The US owns it? They didn’t go because of the radiation and that’s the reason no one as gone since--even the people who “went”.
Additionally, the argument that “1/2 a million people” would have to keep the secret is a fallacy. Compartmentalization is they key; many people could have labored under false pretenses. Even persons who worked to create the stage where the “moon landings” were ultimately shot, could have been doing so without full knowledge of what they were creating and, more importantly, why.
The author seriously underestimates the US gov’t capacity and facility for deception. That is a potentially fatal mistake.

Hi, actually I never gave any of this a second thought to be honest with you but now that you bring it all up, Im asking myself, did we really have the technology in the 60′s? to actually go to the moon? hmmmmmm because things were nothing then as they are now as far as that goes and Im really finding it a little hard to believe that they had the means back then to actually get to the moon. But who knows? I dont know but its something to think about I think.

I am prepared to admit that at the time when the moon landings were on the TV i was sure that it happened. Today having done a lot of research I am convinced for hundreds of reasons that the landing never actualy took place. When you think about it there is not one photo that is unquestionable, they are all fakes. Take a report today in a newspaper showing the American mars rover. Real good close up clear photos of the rover. All I am saying to the Americans is, if you went to the moon, if you left a moon buggy, an American flag and a landing craft there why is it that you cannot show us close up clear photos from the satalite that has just swept the moon. Just remember the Japanese Selen showed no evidence what so ever. Thats all I am asking, give us the proof.
