In 1959 Bill Kaysing predicted that at that time, the chances of getting a man to the moon and back alive were 0.0014%, taking into account radiation and micro meteors.
Just 2 years later US president J. F. Kennedy made his famous speech.
“I believe that this nation should commit itself. To achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind or more important for the long range exploration of Space.”
Eight years later in on the 16th of July 1969, Apollo 11 was launched on a mission to the moon and back, carrying three people. On the 20th of July Apollo 11 landed on the moon. Neil Armstrong stepped out of the Lunar Module (LM) in front of a watching world, climbed down the ladder and said those famous words.
“One small step for man one giant leap for mankind”
And in doing so, Neil Armstrong won the moon race against Russia for America, and proved to an entire world that the sky isn’t the only limit.
Or so NASA said!
Ever since 1969, a small but loud crowd of people have doubted that America did send a man to the moon, and the Apollo Hoax was born.
There are three basic kinds of arguments for this hoax: Photographic, video, and scientific. See the links below for moon landing hoax research and discussions.

In the movie Casino Royale James Bond crashes into a dome. Inside are 2 men in astronaut gear ‘floating’ around as if they were in the moon’s atmosphere, weightless. The ceiling of the inside of the dome is painted to look as if it were black space, with stars, earth, etc. Bond isn’t affected by lack of gravity, since there is no lack of it, and steals the moon vehicle and crashes out of the dome into a parking lot and escapes. This book, as were all the first 007 books, was written by Ian Fleming, who had been in British intelligence before the James Bond books. The dome is owned by Willard White, a rich industralist of some type who lives in the top of a motel in Vegas, and hasn’t been seen in 3 years. The major plot of the movie is White has been kidnapped. Sounds like Howard Hughes. Hughes was credited for cooperating with the CIA in building a boat to recover a lost Soviet sub. Maybe Ian Fleming was giving us a hint.

The answer to that question is another question: Why bother?
Just to go up there and prove it can be done is silly, since we are talking about risking a persons life just to go “I told you so”. It also wouldn’t prove anything since the conspiracy theorists would still say they didn’t do it in 1969, and we only just had the technology to go up to the moon, AKA: The conspiracy is still possibly valid.
There are only two real reason for continuing the moon landings:
1: The moon is mineral rich. If a technique can be devised for getting the minerals off the moon and onto earth, it would make whatever country who did it very rich.
2: Exploration of Mars. Making a moon base would knock three days off of the journey, making the trips a lot less expensive. Also the lower gravity would mean less take off fuel is needed, again less money spent. Also making a moon base would be a better testing ground then a Mars base. Since the moon is closer to the earth and can be change faster if needed.

Hey Joe why waste your time reading stuff on the internet looking for people to argue with, go get a life. or better yet an education
I don’t believe that NASA landed on the moon. That doesn’t make me a “conspiracy theorist” or a “hoax believer,” just a serious skeptic who finds the evidence contrary. Hoax-debunkers miss the point: the burden of proof is on NASA. They say things like, the flags motion could have been harmonic motion caused by Armstrong moving it (I’ve run the video over and over and I don’t think that fits). They say photographic anomalies could have been caused by earth light or color bleeding. These are weak rebuttals because they are possibilities, not certainties.
It’s not incumbent on the unbeliever to prove anything, simply to keep an open mind to the most convincing evidence. I am not convinced.
I certainly believe the government could pull off such a hoax, especially compartmentalized as it is. Big scandals like Watergate, Iran-contra, and the small number of people who admitted to knowing about them – even when they were uncovered and prosecuted – convince me it’s possible. NASA hasn’t shown it impossible just yet, and seems arrogant to not even be trying. Its attitude seems to be that anyone who mistrusts the government is a moron. Rather, anyone who trusts the government implicitly is naive.

I’m sure we have all seen the evidence and, like me, are convinced it was all a bunch of bad fakery….
Here is the latest proof for ya…
They have excuse after excuse why we can’t see the hardware at the landing sites on the moon…even with hubble.
hmmm…for some reason land based and hubble can see the hardware from “opportunity” landing on Mars….Mars is a little further than the moon.
So…do some browsing and try to disprove this one too.

Hey Kozz, why do you think that it is up to NASA to prove something you would think has conclusive proof, in the form of thousands of hours of footage and stills, independantly varified telemetry and Lunar samples? Don’t you think the burden of proof would lie with those who are in effect saying “ok, well APART from all that, what evidence do you have?”
This is the one popular idea that just flummoxes me: every time I see these arguements, I ask – what about the fricken rocks man? They cannot be faked, they could not be picked up by a remote rover. One of them is the size of your head. It’s just ludicrous.
Oh and Mike B: That is not proof. That is called ignorance. They have not imaged the rovers with Hubble, those images are from orbiting satellites. Orbiting mars, that is.

ignorance is not knowing that meteors can hit the moon, eject rocks from the moon, moon rocks land on earth and are sorted out from other “meteors” that have come to earth. And anyways I have rocks in my back yard that look exactly like those “moon” rocks…
Yes i don’t want to believe in this hoax junk either…but I am also in touch with reality as well…just as science has killed alot of my religous beliefs.
The truth is depressing….but I’d rather not live in la la land either.

I think I heard someone say it was impossible because of the landing and that it was impossible to land with the technology they had then. Another point they raised was the fuel source and their lack of it. It would be diffucult to get enough fuel to go there and back unless they had a station there which they didn’t.
and by the way, I think fred and joe are retards.

A couple of people have asked the same question a couple of times:
Why is the flag waving while Neil Armstrong is stood away from it?
As i said before
http://www.conspiracy-theories-hoax.com/apollo-moon-landing-hoax-video-evidence.html
But the conspiracists also say that there are at least one photo, where the flag is flapping and the astronauts are no where near the flag. The explanation for this is simple. NASA’s flag was on an antenna, connected to the pole which pulled out like a radio receiver. At Apollo 11, the antenna wouldn’t pull out all of the way, causing a ripple which looks like a waving flag if taken through a camera. On later missions the flag wasn’t pulled out all of the way because it looked better.
Also to answer the question for why the Hubble telescope hasn’t taken pictures of the landing site: Because NASA have better things to do with it. Using the telescope NASA are looking at the beginnings of the universe, distant planets, and expanding the boundaries of science. But instead of doing these things the conspiracy believers want these people to take pictures of something they know is already there, to prove to the small percentage of none believers that they really did land on the moon

I’m 46, and own a fabrication plant with CNC Lasers, Turret Presses, and Press Brake equipment that manufactures enclosures for many corporations. In the past, my plant has even made enclosures for a company that makes Body Function Monitors for the people on the Space Shuttle. Back in 1996, I was invited by that company to watch the Shuttle launch that year, but I was to busy with business to go. As you can read, I’m no stranger to at least some kind of technology.
According to some poles taken, 94% of the population believe man has stepped on the moon while the remaining 6% do not. I have read everything I could get my eyes on about the Apollo Program, including all of the Apollo Journals from the NASA sites. I even have a model of the Saturn V Rocket in my office. I’ve seen and heard it all. Pictures, video, the filming of the first step, a phone call made to the President while they’re holding the waving flag, rocks, mirrors, hitting a golf ball, riding a moon buggy, the superstitious number 13 not making the touchdown, etc, etc, etc. It grieves me to know I live in a world that 94% of it’s population can be so easily persuaded into believing that such a fair-tale actually happened. People, whom for some unknown reason feel obligated to believe in something of this nature, without question, just because the information fed to them came from a source they feel is so much higher or greater than themselves.
For the 94%, remember, NASA said they have achieved this extraordinary feat. The burden is on them to prove it, not on the public to disprove it. The remaining 6% have nothing to disprove, they’re already smart enough not to buy it in the first place.

speaking of all these rocks you guys say is proof — there is still one thing that bothers me: it is said (right on the Hasselblad website among many other places) that the 12 cameras the apollo astronauts took to the moon were left on the moon in order to help lessen the weight upon takeoff. however, there was no concern for the hundreds of pounds of rocks these guys brought back. and how exactly did this go down anyhow: the astronauts went inside the lunar module, took off there space suits, took the film from the camera, had to get suited back up in order to exit the LM and dump the camera. seems like an awful lot of work just to save what, 4 or 5 pounds of weight at most. and also, notice Hasselblad says 12 cameras are still on the moons surface — that’s one for each lunar-walking astronaut. yet, in one of neil armstrongs few interviews (you can google search neil armstrong brinkley interview transcripts and find it for proof) he states that buzz actually had to ask him for his camera so he could take some pictures as well. this obviously means that there was only 1 camera on the first mission, so where is this 12th camera hasselblad, the moon landing camera manufacturer, is talking about.
see, things just dont add up with how they said the moon landings went down.
there’s a lot of little descrepancies that hoax believers would like answered. all the dubunking you guys do is a matter of opinion just like our conspiracy theories are just a matter of opinion — the truth be told, none of us has ever gone to the moon, so we don’t know for a fact if stars can be seen, or how shadows should go, or if a flag would continue to wave after its pole has been tampered with, or if footprints could be left, etc etc. everything for both sides are theories and thats that. but, one of my biggest reasons for not believing is this: common sense to me seems to say that the moon is just too far away to get to with the technology they had back then, and too far and risky to send men there – without knowing what they were going to encounter or the environment they were heading into – before they would send some type of animal as a test subject first. they didnt have time though; afterall they were in a space race. and hasnt nasa before and since lived by the rule that man doesnt go where a monkey hasnt been first. why didnt they follow this rule with apollo.

Although alot of the points put out throughout this page seem very valid I still believe America went to the moon. First off how could these 12 men to set foot on the lunar surface put up an act for all these years? These men were military test pilots, among the most brilliant engineers and pilots the world has seen. How many books have these guys written since the Apollo program, quite a few if you check it out. These guys went to the moon, some even cried on the lunar surface to see the awesome sight of our earth that we live on…The proof is out there, we have rockets going to Mars in todays society but oh let me guess no one believes we really have these rockets they are just simulations right? The amount of scientific data is enough, forget the pictures forget all of that… I think one fact can dismiss this hoax… On the lunar surface left behind by the astronauts is a reflector that scientists use to measure the distance from earth the moon is… They beam this laser of sorts to the moon and it bounces back…if we never landed on the moon how can that be… how can we have such accurate maps of the lunar surface that tells where the astronauts landed…how can we still be transmitting information over hundreds of thousands of miles between the moon and not have been there…

Surely there must be Appolo astronauts alive to this day. I’m wondering if they would submit to lie detector tests. Put it to them directly and ask them if they went there.
Maybe there was a hoax. Maybe the hoax is a hoax to cover up something even more fantastic. A deal was made that left us with the messy end.

to those who say the government is not capable of doing bad things or covering up the truth just research all about Operation Northwoods their is nothing wrong with trusting government but at least try and verify information
Operation Northwoods, or Northwoods, was a 1962 plan by the US Department of Defense to cause acts of terrorism and violence on US soil or against US interests, blamed on Cuba, in order to generate U.S. public support for military action against the Cuban government of Fidel Castro.
As part of the U.S. government’s Operation Mongoose anti-Castro initiative, the plan, which was not implemented, called for various false flag actions, including simulated or real state-sponsored acts of terrorism (such as hijacked planes) on U.S. and Cuban soil. The plan was proposed by senior U.S. Department of Defense leaders, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Lyman Louis Lemnitzer.

The laser ranging argument is rubbish i.e. you could “laser range” the moon without mirrors. Or perhaps you could use a Russian mirror already there.
This subject is like an enforced religion from medieval times – “Believe or ye shall perish” As most people prefer to live than die it is not necessarily in their interest to divulge any secrets. Look at the rocketdyne guy – How many times did the CIA try to kill him (was it 5? ) There is most certainly something not quite right about all of this.

The thing that bothers me about the hoax theories is that the best “anomalies” stem from gross ignorance.
The crosshair’s bit is one of the worst. What would that actually explain? Are people implieing that they actually propped up a giant crosshair behind objects?
That we should see stars with that sort of exposure time? Have you ever, ever tried to photograph stars? I don’t think so.
The absolute worst is “How could we go to the moon with a computer with so little power on board?” That’s a statement that comes from someone who isn’t a programmer. (Maybe a Java programmer?) Computers were used very, very extensively in the program, but most of them on the ground. The workload onboard was small beans for even the crudest of computers.
The shadows are on uneven surface. Light reflects off ground and objects. Dust moves in parabolic arcs. Flags wave when you move them. etc. The Van Allen belt exposure they got was equal to a chest x-ray. etc.
I’ll tell you what’s not right about it; how come the Soviets never tried to hoax it? If you think the Soviets would have any qualms about lieing about it, you don’t know enough about the Soviets. The soviets had enough control over their media and people that they’d have a far easier time pulling it off than the US.
But even they didn’t try that one.
Plus, while the soviets have a nice list of firsts, so does the US – including things that were far more relevant to the actual execution of the moon landing, such as extravehicular activity. And they were usually behind the Soviet’s firsts by mere weeks.
Even hinting the Americans could’ve actually accomplished such a hoax is pissing on Russia’s intelligence agency.
The rocks probably do “look” like ones in your backyard, but that’s because your not a geologist. There are moon origin meteorites, but not without signs of atmospheric entry or local contamination.
How come NASA isn’t trying to prove the hoax theory wrong? It’s simple:
*All* of the complaints have been thoroughly refuted over and over and over again, and anything else they could ~possibly~ offer is just as fallible.
Going back? If they could hoax it before they can do it now.
Satellite photo? Computer graphics. Something they DIDN’T have in 1969.
How come so many government conspiracies involve much, much smaller numbers of people get blown out of the water? The fact that people can name so many famous government conspiracies that got away is more telling. The moon hoax would be 10,000 times harder to fake than blowing something up and pointing fingers.

I don’t just think we never landed on the moon, I believe that it is impossible to complete this mission today. Just the fuel required to make the trip, the massive shielding required to protect not just the astronauts and the LM as well as the tremendous stress that would occur to the craft in flight make the project look phony. Take a good look at the photos of the LM. If you say that it would be possible for this craft to travel at thousands of miles per hour, you are a fool. With loose panels, aluminum foil, and what looks like tent material; there is no way that thing successfully landed (6 times) on the moon- no way- I’m not buying it. Look at the ridiculous antenna setup on the top of the LM, the metal looks about as thick as a coat hanger. What about the fuel cell on the LM, where is it? There is no way you will ever convince me that there was enough space for a the fuel required to not only land on the moon, but to ascend as well.
I have a challenge for anyone who is willing to attempt it; build a replica or even a model and show us just the engine or booster. I guarantee that it is impossible to fit a 10,000 lb. per sq. ft. thruster into a compartment the size of the LM; let alone 3 men, a lunar rover, and the fuel cell to boot.

The Truth is it is a Hoax. No-one has landed on the moon. The conspiracy theory is that they did land. NASA was just an instrument used to drum the idea that this “so called” landing occurred when it didnt. Reason=Cold WAR against USSR (Russia). Using your logic while checking out images tells you its FAKE.
Now just because i believe that it was a HOAX does not make me a NERD as NASA agents and affiliates would like others to believe. I also believe 911 was an inside job. And that the war on terror is a load of crap. Fox News would try to do what NASA and their affilates do as well.
Ive worked very hard in my life, im not 40, Joe. Im 28. I have a Girl Friend and she is a beautiful Angel. Ive also just finished recording my 5th Album.
You (Joe and Friends) probably work for NASA. You never know. But one thing i do know is that the Moon Landing is a HOAX.

OK… first off everyone can agree that nikola tesla is by far one of the smartest men ever.. why did we never get to hear his dynamic theory of gravity… well.. because it disproved newton and einstein.. einsteins tests were only conducted based on newtons observations as a frame of reference.. so.. if newton was wrong.. yep.. einstein was too… all energy is vibrations.. our earth spins because the sunlight hits it and causes tides in the oceans, soil, atmosphere….everything.. and then when we have a full moon the suns rays (visible and invisible) are reflected onto the portion of the earth thats normally cooling… ok.. well that basically puts a brake on the earths rotation and inertia drives large bodies of water forward.. causing high and low tides.. it has nothing to do with the moons gravity.. if you believe in gravity you have to believe in a strong and a weak force.. and nothing can be that selective and segregate WHAT it is going to pull….especially if you say a large body in space has gravity simply because it has mass then why are meteors striking the surface of the moon and not being pulled towards us… and that also proves that the moon has NO atmosphere.. and gravity is relative to atmosphere.. if you dont have light you cant heat up water and other gases and the planet wont start to spin… if you lack an iron core (also like the moon) you will not generate energy… A VERY FRIKKIN HIGH AMOUNT… that energy traps in all the earths gases…. the moon lacks all of that…. simply from pushing the flag into the moon he would have pushed himself into space… LONG LIVE TESLA AND THE FORWARD MOVING UNIVERSE…..

Another problem with the photos can be seen in the next two images below.
Several astronauts seem to be lit up, as if they were standing in a spot light, even though they are in a large shadow!
Many hoax debunking theories have been made to explain this. The most popular explanation is the Earth gives off its own light that highlights the astronauts. But if the Earth gave off that much light, then a shadow would appear behind each person, and there would be multiple shadows in every moon photo.

Camera Problems Comment on Apollo Moon Landing Hoax : April 30th, 2006 at 15:30
On all of the cameras there is a + in the middle of the lens to help with distance but on some of the pictures objects overlap the plus. This suggests that the plus was added later.
But the answer for this is simple. If you notice, all of the overlapping objects are bright and white. Because of this, the colour background bleeds into the thin cross, making the cross fade/disappear.

Photographs are the main argument for the conspiracy believers, as there are thousands of photographs that have anomalies on them. (i.e.: different directions on shadows, things ‘highlighted’.) Because of these anomalies, the photos are believed fake by the conspiracy followers. These people reason “why create fake photos of something that really happened?”

Video Evidence Comment on Apollo Moon Landing Hoax : April 30th, 2006 at 16:00
The most consistently seen argument of moon hoax believers, is why, in a land with no air, the American flag stands up and waves, instead of falling down to the ground? And yes, if you look closely at the moon flag video clip, (Realtime player required.) it does appear as if Neil is fighting with the USA flag. But, if you look even closer, you can see that the flag is only flapping when Neil is holding it, and trying to twist the flag into the ground. (You can’t see this that well because of convenient editing.). Because of this the flag waving can be accounted for by Neil twisting the pole.

Radiation would kill the astronauts
Many conspiracists believe that NASA never left the Earth’s atmosphere, because of the amount of radiation in The Van Allen radiation belt would kill an astronaut. But with help from other sources (thanks clavius moon base) We can determine if this is true. The American legal radiation limit below are a helpful.

Why Fake a Moon Landing? Comment on Apollo Moon Landing Hoax : April 30th, 2006 at 17:00
Wether 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.
Hot Conspiracy Debate. What do you think?
