No they did not land on the moon, because in the photies there are no stars, the flag was waving in the wind, the shadows didn't look right the dust under the caspstile wasn't really disturbed unilike dust should of been and how could they get to the moon and back again with computer with the knowledge that powers your mobile Phone and last bnut not lest if they did get to the moon then how did they survive the Van Allen Belts that surround the earth. However if you think that they went to the moon then that's up to you.

Myself and my father who doesn't beleive in anything doesn't think that they went to the moon.

However one day we will find out.
One way or another.

No one has been to the moon.

And there's no such place as Hull -- it's made up and the postings you see here are all from Little Hawk supported by confirmation back-up replies from Amos. They don't even live in the same hemisphere you know.

www.snopes.com:

"The fanciful notion that the six Apollo lunar missions launched by the USA between 1969 and 1972, during which a total of twelve men landed and walked on the moon, were elaborate hoaxes staged in top secret desert locations and movie studios here on Earth has been a familiar aspect of popular culture and conspiracy theory since the first moon landing in 1969.

"Perhaps because Americans' confidence in their government was at a low ebb due to America's controversial military involvement in Vietnam, perhaps because people felt threatened by the rapid onrush of technological progress the space program represented, or perhaps just because some people enjoy the furtive thrill of disseminating the "secret knowledge" encapsulated in conspiracy theories, the moon landings have become a locus for a cynical distrust of government and disbelief in America's tremendous achievements in space exploration."

What I don't understand is how anyone can seriously question it. For pete's sake, does anyone think that all of the hundreds of people involved in the space program are in on it and are all keeping the great secret? Not to mention the reporters, both domestic and foreign, who would LOVE to break a story like that.

Let it die, already.

wasn't the snopes site used as a source for a lot of anti-Iraq war info in another thread? seems like their info might be at least questioned...

And yes, we went there. See the pictures taken by Apollo 16 at landing, and compare to the ones taken by the Clementine spacecraft 25 years later or so. I was on Clementine, as Data Manager- I saw the pictures as they came down, and there were no alterations made. Only way they could match was for the astronauts to have been there.

Sorry if the facts upset anyone.

The world is an oblate sphereoid. There is a very useful 50 x50 term gravity model, called GEM-10.

Of course men walked on the moon. There can be no doubt. Here is an unretouched photograph of the landing taken from a giant telescope on earth. The “Eagle” has clearly landed.

If that photo doesn't convince you, consider that one of the missions left a reflector there, aimed back at earth, so terrestrial scientists could bounce laser beams off of it and use it for precicely measuring distances. I'm guessing that anyone with a suitable laser and an amateur telescope can prove that the reflector is actually there.

No, Tam. Let us examine facts and base our conclusions on them.

This is not one of those "my superstitions are just as good as yours" areas. It is an assertion about facts.

A human being did walk, suited andbooted, on the surface of the Moon of Earth.

Get over it.

Not for Tam, Amos. Remember his recent contribution to the UFOs thread?

I think that they do because unlike some other people I have an open mind, and until someone prooves that they don't exist then I'll believe that they do. (Tam the Bam (Nutter))

A classic example for argumentum ad ignorantiam. I believe what I want, prove me wrong but don't expect I'll listen to your arguments.

hmmm......."...ROUND, like a saucer", huh, brucie. *grin*...would that be a FLAT round saucer, or a gently upwardly curving saucer with a place for a cup?

(and yep...centrifigual force is mostly what made this speheroid 'oblate', like bb said)...I 'spose enuf centrifigual force would have MADE it very like a saucer, huh?)
