if it is fake i hope oen of them will say it before they day, if anyone involved is still alive.

Do you have any sense of time at all?

It happened in 1969. That's a little over 34 years ago.

We still have plenty of WWII vets alive today, which ended 22 years prior.

I heard that the americans did not land on the moon in 1969, and that it was all a hoax, they just took pictures and made it seem like they landed on the moon. They had a special on tv about it, showing the pictures and how you can see people being super imposed(adam sandler goat voice:"whats super imposed"), you can see crossharis under people but on top of other things. also how the flags shadows was way off from where it should have been at that time. I actually beleive we didnt land on the moon. To my knowledge we havent even sent ne one back since then. ohh well i guess i might be easily influenced, but i dont think that we landed on the moon. :whistle:

ya and a group of over 10000 people think the earth is flat, called the flat earth society, and there are a group of people who do not belive anything exists outside of earth(stars moon,sun, are all in earths atmosphere etc etc), whenever one of these catches on it becomes famous and more people believe it....this moon landing is just another one of these.

I read some books on this issue and NASA and experts that claim we did land on the moon only address flaws that they can or want to. Those that say it's Soviet propaganda are only kidding themselves. For example, actual pictures of the flag movement as if it were on earth, because there's no gravity on the moon. Try to come up with a theory that explains why the flag is wavy. lol. Good luck.

You should read this. You are so willing to believe anything to discredit, then read this discredit of the discredit.

The flag had been waved around by the astronaunt prior to planting it in the ground, that's why it looks like it does. Oh, incidentally, there is such a thing as solar wind, or a cosmic breeze....

Everybody has their own opinion...I for one believe that we did land on the moon. There were several other missions since then.

A point to make is that if we didn't land on the moon then why did the Apollo 13 crisis occur. They were intended for the moon so how could that have happened if it was a hoax.

the apollo 13 happened because they WERE tryignt o get to the moon, but got attacked by aliens which at holes in their oxygen thingo, but apollo 11 didnt land

We DID land on the moon. On every Apollo trip Russians satellites follows them. After Moon Landing in 1969 not even one Russian authority appeared saying that was a hoax, and do you know why? Because US DID land on the moon.

As someone said before, if this is fake every single employee in the Mc. Donnald Observatory, TX should be in jail, because they invested over this years millon of dollars calculating the distance between the earth and our natural satellite shooting a laser on mirrors on the ALSEPs (Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment) left them there by the astronauts...

i totally agree with him

Just another conspiracy theory BS. Think about it, all these years, you think nobody has looked at the moon with a telescope?? There are so powerful telescopes out there you can look accross the solar system, people on earth know every inch of the moon, if there was no landing sites, etc all the crap they left up there, everyone would know about it... especially the USA's compitition (Russia, China, ETC).

People need to stop and think before believing a lot of BS like this :p

Americans where scared it seemed that the Commies had beeten them, so they reserved a studio in hollywood and shot that years block buster, the moon landing. its been proven, when america landed on the moon they took pictures of their flag "blowing in the wind" the funny part is on the moon there is no aptonosphere so there for there cant be wind.

and the set was used in a space movie like a year later, the exact same set, every rock was in the exact same place.

there is more, but i cant remeber...

Definently landed on the moon.

ALl this conspiracy crap stems from crazy people who lack the facts, knowledge, and some good ol common sense. IT was aired on fox for christ sake. The same people who brought joe millionaire and jerry springer... as well as x-files.

Besides, if you have a powerfull laser beam, they put a corner reflector on there so you can shine a beam off the moon and back to your location. The time delay should be about 2 seconds. In fact, it can measure changes in the moons orbit with awesome precision. Just ask any physics proff and they'll probably know a bit about it.

Solar wind is basically large amount of radiation emmitted from the sun. They include tons and tons of particles, all of which include momentum. Some, like neutrinos, probably won't affect it, but light and protons, and neutrons, etc. would all affect it quite a bit. This is why you can use sails to move a space craft (even further away than earth)

because there's no gravity on the moon.

That statement is soo wrong.

edit:

i read the thread and found this interresting site:

Here's the real conspiracy:

The Bad Astronomer, one of the anagrams was MOON TRASH DEBATER.

A point to make is that if we didn't land on the moon then why did the Apollo 13 crisis occur.  They were intended for the moon so how could that have happened if it was a hoax.

it happened b/c it's a hoax too... it brings a sense of unity to the country when everyone is worried about them... and it makes us look like we kiss ass b/c fixed the impossible. ego boost. cold war influence.

and you believe what the govt tells us... no actual proof. the govt also denies the existence of Area 51.. but it's there...

people saw the rocket take off, didn't they? what would be the point of doing that?

could have just put them in a crazy orbit high around earth...

heres a good point though... we won the cold war by going to the moon and making it USA's property supposedly. extreme imperialism. we couldnt let the Russians get to the moon... but that brings up another point... why havent they EVER tried to go to the moon? and why did we stop the program after 12 odd missions and not go back since? you KNOW they would want to do all kinds of crazy experiments on the moon etc. why would they just stop and not go back? and now they want to go back by 2020? why does it take so long? that'll make it 50 years since we've been there... wtf?

this brings up an indisputable point too. the earth is covered by the Van Allen radiation belt which protects us from the sun. the moon is not in the belt... moon has no atmosphere b/c of this. in order to sustain life outside the belt, the walls on the ship would have had to have been 4 FEET thick... thats a lot. the ship had a few inches. also, the suits of the spacemen were WAY too thin to protect them from the radiation...

    • I've owned nothing but ATi/AMD GPUs since 2002, after my last nVidia GPU in 2001 (3dfx before that), IIRC, and in all of that time I recall getting this error maybe once, certainly no more than twice. Despite all the scuttlebutt as to how poor AMD drivers are supposed to be that has certainly not been my experience at all... Usually it has been a configuration problem of some kind. Then again, since we're dealing with OS versions that are EOL, it could easily be an OS version discrepancy. It's still weird to think that Win11 has been officially out for more than five years!
    • AI will never be the jobs panacea some companies fantasize about today. Oracle is likely using it as an excuse, which we will see a lot of companies doing, I'm certain. They love their "plausible" excuses for their downturns. A couple of weeks ago my wife asked me to call Krogers about some discrepancy in a online grocery order, and it will be the last time either of us does that. I'll just do emails with humans from now on... The AI experience was horrible--the obviously recorded voice started asking a bunch of questions about our orders six months prior(!) and saying, "Is this in reference to your order on January 6, for $****?" You say "No!" and immediately the next question is "Is this in reference to your order on January 29th, for $****?" again, I answered "No!"--and it was incredible--on and on it went like that for fully 20 minutes until we finally got to the present, and only then was I put through to a human with authentic intelligence... I wondered why on Earth the idiot AI didn't start with the most recent orders and work back from there, as it was something anyone with a functioning brain would have done. And why didn't the AI have enough sense to ask me what the problem was in the first place? It didn't take too much deduction to understand that the goal of this "AI" was to cause the person on the phone to hang up in disgust, with no resolution of the problem. That begs another question: why pay for a tool-free problem line if the goal is to avoid solving your customer's problems?... Fortunately, Krogers does have real humans capable of reading an email and understanding it, and if she sees another situation in the future that's route she or I will take. The online grocery delivery service from Krogers has been great, over all, but their AI truly sucks.
    • AI is the justification that company administrators use to lay people off; it is not the end all, be all touted in the media (many of whom can't tell a microchip from a potato chip). Greed is main driving factor behind its adoption; the other is remaining relevant in the face of competition from other entities.
    • Firefox 152.0.2 is out with fixes for performance, translation, and cloud storage services by Taras Buria A new bug-fixing update is now rolling out to Firefox users in the Release Channel. Less than a week ago, Mozilla fixed crashes on Intel Raptor Lake processors with version 152.0.1. Now, Mozilla has prepared yet another set of fixes that address problems with localization, playback issues of certain MP4 files, and performance issues on website that perform various encryption operations at once. Here is the full changelog: Firefox 152.0.2 is now available for download from Mozilla's FTP. Existing installations will get the update over the next several hours. The latest version will also be available soon on the official website, the Microsoft Store, and Neowin's Software page. You can find Firefox 152.0.2 release notes in the official documentation. In case you missed it, Mozilla released Firefox 152 earlier this month. The latest feature update brought reworked settings with a more streamlined user interface, JPEG XL support, new features for Private mode, a new way to mute a tab (just type "mute" in the address bar), and many more. You can find the complete changelog here. In other Firefox news, Mozilla recently published its roadmap, where the company detailed the upcoming Nova redesign and other features it plans to implement. Mozilla wants to make the new user interface easier to navigate and more modern, with a heavy focus on its privacy tools, such as its built-in VPN. If you are curious, you can already enable the new UI as described here.
