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...

    • Beats Studio Pro wireless over-ear ANC headphones drop to their lowest price yet by Fiza Ali Amazon is currently offering the Beats Studio Pro headphones at their all-time low price. The Studio Pro use 40mm active drivers which are designed to improve clarity and reduce distortion compared to previous models, with up to an 80% improvement over the Beats Studio3 Wireless.

On the connectivity side, the Studio Pro use Class 1 Bluetooth for a stable, long-range wireless connection. There is also a 3.5mm input if you want to plug in directly, including use with in-flight entertainment systems. Controls are located on the headphones and include a "b" button for music and call control, a volume rocker, and a multifunction button used for switching listening modes, EQ settings, power, and pairing. In addition, the headphones offer integration with both Apple and Android devices.

    • Those extra reboots are related to the UEFI Secure Boot certificate update thing.
    • Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25: Affordable ergonomic mouse that focuses on the right things by Taras Buria ProtoArc is known for making all sorts of office products with a big focus on ergonomics and comfort. Its latest product, the EM25, promises a comfortable-to-use, affordable, and customizable mouse. We took one for a spin; here are our impressions. The ProtoArc EM25 is a $49.99 mouse, but right now, during Prime Day 2026, you can get it for just $37.99. Right off the bat, you can see that the EM25 is inspired by Logitech's MX Master lineup and the legendary MX Master 3/3S. Its shape and proportions are very similar, so for a person with large hands (right-handed person, mind you), the EM25 is very comfortable to use. The mouse fills the palm, and the thumb rests on a small extension, giving your wrist a small tilt to reduce strain. The mouse is made of black plastic without any coating, eliminating long-term wear concerns. However, I can see the main buttons and other areas you touch the most getting polished over time. Despite its size and bulk, the mouse is not too heavy. It weighs about 100 grams, which is significantly less than the MX Master 3S and its successor. It is no lightweight gaming mouse by any means, but it is not excessively heavy like the MX Master 4. The EM25 has a built-in storage for its USB dongle. It is a cleverly made magnetic flap that you open by simply pressing on it. Next to the flap, you will find the on/off switch, the 1,000 Hz sensor, and a DPI button (up to 8,000 DPI). I find the DPI button location a bit odd, and I would prefer it somewhere below the main scroll wheel. Still, given that I never change DPI on my mice, I will let it pass. What is more important is that, unlike MX Master 3/3S/4, the device switch button is located below the left-click button, which allows you to switch devices without lifting and flipping the mouse. For a multi-device setup, this is a perfect solution: the button does not require too much effort to use, it does not get in your way, but it is also easily reachable with your thumb. The main scroll wheel has two modes: ratcheted and free-flow. You can only change between them with a bright orange button (I like this little touch of color), which is sprung and requires some effort to press. The wheel is dead-silent in free-flow mode, but ratched is quite loud and stiff, perhaps even too much to my liking. I can hardly call it deal-breaking, but it will certainly take some time to get used to. The side scroll wheel, it is notched, silent, and pleasant to use. Next to it, you can find a piece of glossed plastic with connection indicators: Dongle, Bluetooth 1, Bluetooth 2, and the low battery indicator. By the way, the built-in battery is rechargeable via a USB Type-C cable, which is included. It is sleeved and has an orange velcro strap to keep it tidy. After using the EM25 for a few weeks, I can say that its main buttons are my absolute favorite. They have very pronounced clicks, which feel great with just the right amount of force required to register a press. I would say they feel like something in between regular mouse clicks and silent ones. You can hear and feel the springy switch, but it is not sharp or loud to the point of annoying you. As for back/forward and device switch buttons, they are very clicky and quite noisy. Unfortunately, there are no extra buttons that you can map to specific things like in the MX Master lineup. Besides great primary clicks, another thing I like about the EM25 is its 1,000 Hz sensor. In the world, where Logitech still uses 125 Hz sensors in $100+ mice, seeing a much faster sensor in a mouse that costs three times less is very refreshing. Also, all the settings and customization you make are stored on-device, and you do not need to install any software. Just open the web-based app and change all that you need. Speaking of customization, you can remap what buttons do, adjust the DPI, and the sensor speed. Sadly, gestures are not supported, but you can still map pretty much anything to each button, including shortcuts, media buttons, and more. I also recommend using software like XMouseControl, as it will let you remap the side scroll wheel. At the end of the day, the ProtoArc EM25 is a great mouse. Clearly inspired by the MX Master lineup, it takes the best of it and complements it with a much more wallet-friendly price tag, significantly better sensor, on-device memory, a built-in storage for the dongle, and more (it fixes everything that I complained about the MX Master 4 recently). And for only $37.99 during Prime Day, the EM25 is an easy recommendation. Buy ProtoArc EM25 mouse - $37.99 | 24% off with Prime As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
