Did we go to the moon in 1969

[HacksawParticipant @hacksaw]

There's a lot of intelligent technical people on here who could be working for NASA ..! (not me) ….So did we go or was it faked for the cold war ?

Interweb seems 50 / 50 !!

I remember getting up early to watch it in black and white.. ghostly TV footage, and the "still photo's " upon their return were stunning for a kid…But the radiation…perfect photo's taken with thick gloves…should there have been clouds of dust when they landed…?

I would say yes.

Main reason out of the many thousands of people that NASA employed at the time somebody somewhere would have blown the whistle on their death bed.

Also independent nations have photographed in high resolution from moon orbiting satellites the landing sites.

Why no clouds of dust, well there's no atmosphere to support dust so it falls to ground like a brick or feather would there, which was demonstrated on one of the landings if I remember correctly.

If Neil hasn't got any decent photos … you could try here:

But, of course, they may be fakes too.

I think a little bit of scepticism is actually good for this topic, I don't see it as an attack on whether it happened or not, the people who originally thought of these questions about conditions up there were genuinely just curious people.

I don't believe it was a cover up, simply because it would be far harder to keep everyone quiet about it and the complexity of the operation would be far more an enormity than the actual reality of going there itself.

Think about all the "projects" for components they'd need for the equipment to go up there, fake that as well? it's just getting silly at that point.

Yep, absolutely happened, if they chose a planet much further away then the scope for criticism would be much much greater, but as we can visibly see most of the moon, is it really that hard to believe we went there?

You've seen the kind of gaffes the government gets itself into, and could you really believe they'd be competent enough to pull off a hoax as big as that? The Russians would have a field day if they got wind of it.

Of course we didn't go to the moon – it was Elvis in a London Bus, the Earth is flat, the Royal family are really reptiles…

I worked on the Apollo program in the 60's and 70's but there are security issues involved in this topic so I cannot comment further.

And Michelle Obama is really a man. And climate change is a one-world-government conspiracy.

Can we see traces of the landing site from other satellites still ?

[not done it yetParticipant @notdoneityet]

All your teeth gone blunt, hacksaw? Or has the blade snapped?

The interweb conspiracy mongerers. They are everywhere. Most are complete idiots, but some are clever idiots.

Do you really believe all that you read? Don't you think the ruskies were not watching every move? Get real, if you expect your other posts are not to be treated as fantasy!

[Bob StevensonParticipant @bobstevenson13909]

Well "WE" did'nt go there!……some American people might have gone but, if they did, it was'nt like in the photos!

…..There's a reason that HOLYWOOD is in America!

[Martin KyteParticipant @martinkyte99762]

Whilst you cannot 'see' the landing sites with opical telescopes from earth the laser distance measuring kit can see the reflectors they left behind and have been happily logging the distance between the earth and the moon ever since. See Lunar Laser Ranging experiment. There was some muttering about pulling the funding a few years back, after all it had been running for a long time.

What everyone seems to forget is that the transmissions from the lunar modules were picked up all over the world by radio societies and amateurs and that when the USA was on the other side of the world from the moon, transmissions to and from the modules were relayed via stations in Europe and Australia. Plus of course the Russians would have been tracking the modules to ,from and on the moon. If you can only receive the transmissions by pointing your high-gain aeriel at a point in space somewhere between earth and the moon, then you can be pretty sure that there's something there. If the Russians were convinced that they occurred, which don't forget represented a huge loss of face for them, then how can any intelligent person claim that they didn't.

[BC ProfParticipant @bcprof]

If the Americans faked it I have no doubt that the Russian would have exposed the facrt via their NASA workers

The Moon does not give us a lot, I doubt there is any profit in mining there. samples of rock reveal many things and I believe the evidence both photographic and actual.

The engineering and manufacturing of capsules and equipment boosted US Industry quite a bit.

I have often thought that the recovery of what was left there would be profitable but far beyond any ones reach.

Remember the Ruski's also sent a rover there. Never did hear or see much about it though.

At least we know it is not cheese. Clive

PLEAAASEEEEE……. not on this site too. There's enough fake news and silly conspiracy theories on the rest of the web.

If you want to discuss this topic please move to America – NOW!

Their rovers were very successful, but they just didn't get the publicity for some reason…

The Americans had the best PR machine, as usual. The Russians were actually further advanced in the space race with landable, reuseable space craft vs the early US craft consisting of a spam can mounted on top of a souped up ICBM, NASA had to blow the bolts off the hatch of the spam can with inbuilt explosives after they fished it out of the ocean in order to retrieve the astronauts, fer cryin' out loud. But it made great TV.

Most of these conspiracy hypothesists (it's not a theory until it is proven) probably think the moon is made of green cheese, deny global warming, and voted for Trump.

[Andrew EvansParticipant @andrewevans67134]

I don’t think a serious scientist or engineer would ever claim that it was fake. Why would it be faked? it wouldn’t really give the Americans any advantage to do so and the risks of being discovered so high.
