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.
See our Apollo Moon Landing Forum.

Apollo Moon Landing Hoax – Why Fake a Moon Landing?
Proof enough to me is that at the time the moon landing happened the technology for a moon landing existed.
Proof:
If we can launch shuttles, sattelites, and intercontinental missles out of Geosynchronous orbit (these things have been clearly proved by unrefuted data). Also, we can clearly launch humans into space. Proved by hundreds if not thousands of unrefutable missions. Then, what is two stop us from going to the moon? The answer is very little. Once we are past this point the shuttle can basically cruze on to the moon with little gravity resistance and little to know molecular resistance due to their rareified state. All that is needed now is a navigational system and too be able to keep going straight. The first has been proved effective by use of earth based tracking system and space based ones on non-human missions. As for going straight all that is needed is a gyroscope. Now to legitimately land on the moon the technology is very low tech for NASA. All that is required is a small ship with the poower to get from the craft to the moon and back. This technology is about the simplest thing imaginable. To refute the possiblity would be insanity. Then they just need to power back to earth, which is again easy due to lack of gravity and rarefied molecules. Finally, they simply need to reenter earths atmoshpere. For this a simple shielding layer can be used. This final piece has been proved time and time again.
All the steps apart are simple, logical, and proved possible.
I realize this isn’t an exact description, but I was trying to simplify it. For a more accurate and complete description visit nasa.gov/

The reason for NO Moon landings Is: We Have Nothing YET To Withstand the Heat& Cold Variances On Moon And Max Radiation Anything sent up to go through the Van Allen Radiation Belt Would Have Melted Most Anything & Everything. http://ocii.com/~dpwozney/apollo5.htm
Not Even Saying What The Solar Flares Would Do To Humans.. In Those Flimsy Space Suits..YIKES….
Now Someone PROVE Humans Went There?? Maybe In The Year 2525
Do people really still believe that the Van Allen belts are lethal for astronauts? That crap has been debunked innumerable times, even by James Van Allen himself.

The temperature of the Moon is over 100°C on the damn surface. That’s correct, it’s only hot on the surface. Since the Moon is practically a vacuum, heat cannot be transferred into an atmosphere that doesn’t exist in the first place.
The astronauts wore white spacesuits that reflected most of the sunlight (white colors reflect sunlight [or, they appear white because most of the light has been reflected], and dark colors absorb sunlight [or, they appear dark because most of the light has been absorbed]). The helmet bubble is also designed to protect the astronaut from harmful solar radiation.

43 years after we still cant go moon haha everything points to lies and misleading the public for funding mabee Kennedy was assinated cause of it !! I just realised the fuel needed would be more than the ICBM the same size as apollo lol I was interested in the Apollo craft specs and the oxygen tanks used to last 3 people over a week to travel there and back would be bigger than the diving bottles used today that only last few hours the size volume weights dont match specs on the designs used then even todays tech would be hard to do let alone the 6 feet of lead shelding needed lmao
This comment is for those with a good grip on reality but are puzzled with some of the Moonhoaxtards claims.
Myth Busters did an excellent set of episodes explaining the strange behavior of the flags, the light anomalies, and a few others.
I admit, I was intrigued by the hoax claims at first.
But when I watched Myth Busters, it made perfect sense.
I have no interest in trying to convert the die hard moon hoaxers.
You can’t fix stupid.
Nor do I wish to get into a completely pointless debate with morons.
This comment is solely for the people sitting on the fence with regards to the debate.
Do a search on Youtube for Myth Busters moon landing hoax.
I’m sure this comment will get lots of nasty replies.
That’s why I have no intention of coming back to this comment section.
So Moonhoaxtards, fire away.
Maybe even pretend your computer monitor is my head and punch it in.

I say send myth busters and NASA officials in the Apollo 11 it just needs some fuel I bet they wont survive the radiation and will make every excuse to not go cause they know they cant even with todays tech Obama gave up on returning cause you cant even today also funny how sound take several minutes to reach but conversations were not delayed lmao myth busters never proved anyone went just possibilities I would love to watch you space walk at higher altitude than the space station orbit cause its electronics fail at higher altitudes
So what about unmanned probes like the Mariners, Pioneers, or Voyagers? What about the Messenger mission to Mercury, or the Magellan mission to Venus, or the Ranger, Surveyor, Clementine, Lunar Prospector, and Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter missions to the Moon, or the Viking, Pathfinder, Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Odyssey, Phoenix Lander, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, Mars Exploration Rover, and Mars Science Lab missions to (wait for it) Mars, or the Galileo mission to Jupiter, or the Cassini mission to Saturn, or the Dawn mission tooling around the asteroid belt, or ANY GEOSYNCHRONOUS SATELLITE, all of which operate at higher altitudes relative to the Earth’s surface than the ISS?
Or are they all fake, too? Is the Curiosity rover tooling around the desert in New Mexico somewhere?

After looking at all the pictures the space craft looks so fake. I don’t see how a craft that looks like that could make it through earth’s atmosphere going to and from space? I think heat is a big factor?
If you’re talking about the LM, you’re absolutely right that it was not designed the survive the kinds of pressure and thermal loads that launch and re-entry would have subjected it to.
Therefore, during launch, it was kept in a protective fairing behind the CSM until the S-IVB booster was well out of Earth orbit (see illustration at http://jleslie48.com/0206pr/saturn5allclean2.jpg), and it was jettisoned before re-entry.
Here are some ways that you can understand the moon hoax conspiracy morons.
1. Get a heavy weight boxer to punch you in the head until the theory makes sense.
2. Get a pro golfer to repeatedly line drive a golfball into your head.
3. Get a redneck to play mailbox baseball, except replace your head for the mailbox.
4. Volunteer to let pro baseball pitchers use your head for target practice.
5. Get a fellow Moon hoax idiot to hit you in the head with a frying pan until the theory makes sense.
6. Skydive with a parachute attacked to your ankles, but don’t open the chute, and canon ball head first into a huge rock.
Until I came to this page, I always wondered where the people that make up the first quarter of the bell curve hang out.
The new fun film for all the family exposes the true extent of the plan behind the moon hoax see it at “Moon hoax the Movie- Jesus v Nazis” on youtube. It’s the kings new clothes on a global sinister level. But it’s no match for “the one”
Shouldn’t MASA had figured all of this out for our “moon men”??? Supposedly Astronauts were sent up in a HUGE solar flare cycle and yet they are alright???
“The proposed strategy directed at NSF, NASA, and also NOAA is one that recognizes the increased societal importance of solar and space physics, and how important it is to tackle these new opportunities with a diverse set of tools – from miniature satellites like cubesats to moderate and large missions,” Zurbuchen said.
The primary scientific goals established by the decadal survey are:
To investigate the origins of the sun’s activity and to study solar variations.
To examine the relationship between the sun and Earth by studying variability in Earth’s magnetosphere, ionosphere and atmosphere in response to solar and terrestrial activity.
To understand how the sun interacts with the interstellar medium and other bodies in the solar system.
To characterize the processes that occur in the heliosphere and throughout the universe.

NEW NEWS! How could we have landed on the moon after this FOXNEWS post???
Here’s my question, if the apollo program was all just an elaborate cover-up, then how did 400,000 people keep the secret? http://ficksitall.blogspot.com/2012/12/fact-or-faked-america-wins-moon-race.html
I have been studying these pictures for quite a while and the thing I don’t understand is why the hokey mylar wrapped around the ship the construction paper on the outside the way it is constructed looks like someone in the third grade put this ship together it looks horrible you go look at the pictures up close blow them up and you decide what NASA send something out into space that would look like this no I don’t think so so you guys tell me what’s up?
It doesn’t have to be pretty to work.
The foil acted as a thermal blanket, reflecting as much of the sunlight as possible to keep the base of the LM from overheating. The foil was only about 125 microns thick, making it extremely lightwaight (always a plus), and since it was only ever meant to be used in a vaccuum, it didn’t need to be streamlined.
Even the Shuttle orbiters used blankets instead of tiles where they could get away with it.
Most real-world spacecraft aren’t “pretty”.
