Have we been on the Moon ?

[Sabbathian]

And here is another tricky question for you all.......

Have humans been on the moon ?

Why tricky ? `couse when you see how todays spacecrafts have alot of problems
in space, don`t you sometimes wonder how did we manage to land on Moon 50
years ago ? Was it all a publicity show ?

p.s. - no, this time I`m not going against America I`m just curius ;-)

 

[sMiLeYz]

Do you have any evidence to prove otherwise? Or are you just trolling??

 

[Sabbathian]

Just asking for opinion, and I never said that we HAVEN`T been there.

Do you think that trolling is everithing bad said that could have some connection to America ? And again, I say... this is not against America.

 

[sMiLeYz]

What I'm saying is this a universally accepted FACT that astronauts have gone to the moon, more than once, theres no evidence to prove otherwise. Independent scientists around the world have evaluated the moon rocks brought back from the moon and have confirmed they are not of terrestrial origin.

 

[daniel1113]

There is no direct evidence to prove that we haven't been to the moon. On the other hand, NASA has a plethora of evidence to prove that we have.

You're asking me whether or not I trust my government. Well, I'll trust my government any day over the conspiracy theory wackos out there...

 

[maddogchen]

Well if you count how many shuttle missions we've had versus how many accidents that resulted in loss of shuttles, we have a small error percentage.

As for the moon landings, even the Soviets, who had the most to gain from disproving that we did land on the moon, admitted that we landed on the moon. Its because they could monitor our communications and knew that people were communicating from the moon.

edit: double negative erased

 

[OneOfTheseDays]

anyone remember that Fox special they aired a few years back. The damn thing was so heavily edited according to my friend at NASA. They edited all the NASA interviews so that each person was essentially repeating the same statement.

 

[Sabbathian]

Smileyz..... I also think that we (you) were on the moon ...... really .... but I just want to know what others think

 

[LordMagnusKain]

1.) the waving of the American flag as placed on the moon does not fit with moon physics;

2.) the radiation belt around the earth, that earth orbiting craft don't pass, wasn't properly shielded against.

3.)there is tape of a faked moon landing that the US made just in case;

Or so say number of guests on CoastToCoastAM

 

[sMiLeYz]

NASA debunks fake moon theories

"I have here in my office a 10-foot high stack of scientific books full of papers about the Apollo Moon rocks," added McKay. "Researchers in thousands of labs have examined Apollo Moon samples -- not a single paper challenges their origin! And these aren't all NASA employees, either. We've loaned samples to scientists in dozens of countries [who have no reason to cooperate in any hoax]."

Even Dr. Robert Park, Director of the Washington office of the American Physical Society and a noted critic of NASA's human space flight program, agrees with the space agency on this issue. "The body of physical evidence that humans did walk on the Moon is simply overwhelming."

This reminds me of the "global warming being fake" crap all over again...

All have been debunked. Check them out on Google.

If ppl dont believe in the moon landing, why dont they just take a good telescope and look for the landers or ask Nasa to make a close up from the flag with hubble.

I can't say I've ever seen that one, nor heard of it. Could you provide a link?

It'd be a waste of time spent using Hubble. Plus I don't even think Hubble can see that detailed that far away.

The SMART-1 lunar probe that's due to arrive in lunar orbit in a year might be able to see that close up.

Of course you've never seen it. Because it's super secret and you can only get it through the crazy homeless guy in the Lakers jersey who lives behind the Circle-K, and HE has to get it from this guy who used to work at Area 51 (actually Papoose Lake, where the REAL ufo's are hidden).

Stupid whackjob conspiracy theorists and the crap they believe.

I can say, for a fact, that we did not land humans on the moon 50 years ago. Everytime I do the math, I come up with 35 years ago (this july)

But why not just ask Buzz Aldrin?

"I was very surprised that he hit me, I thought it was very foolish of him to do it in front of two video cameras," Sibrel said. "He has a good punch. It was quick too. I didn't see it coming."

Comments from 37 year old Bart Sibrel after the 72 year old American hero decked him for suggesting the Moon landing was a fake, and wanted Buzz to swear on the bible that he had been on the moon.

ROFL! I do hope you meant Hubble can't see that detailed that close up, not that far away...
1st Hubble is in the orbit meaning the atmosphere doesn't interfere(not to mention the pollution)
2nd it's quite capable of scaning the known universe in numerous spectra and different ways...
I'm sure there's a way it could quite precisely scan the Moon's surface...

 

[LTC8K6]

Hubble cannot resolve anything as small as the moon lander or the buggy on the moon's surface, so it would be a waste of time to take a picture for the purpose of seeing remnants of the Apollo missions.

In your poll, you forgot to include the "You're a moron for asking" option.

What makes you think anyone from this planet landed on the moon "50 years ago"?

March 1954; the Eagle has landed.

LOL, I think maybe you are on the moon right now.

 

[rudder]

Let just ask the Chinese when they get there in 2007.

Nope. You're wrong. True, Hubble can resolve things billions of light years away. However, these things are thousands of light years across in size. It's quite different than resolving a flag on the surface of the moon. The information is on the Web if you care to look it up.

This thread's enough to frost one's potatoes. Ignoring the ignorance of the very first post, LordMagnusKain's name has to be put into the running for stupid entries. It reads:

"1.) the waving of the American flag as placed on the moon does not fit with moon physics;

2.) the radiation belt around the earth, that earth orbiting craft don't pass, wasn't properly shielded against.

3.)there is tape of a faked moon landing that the US made just in case;"

1. The treatment of the American flag was extensively discussed in 1969. They knew the flag wouldn't display so they provided a wire to make it stand out from the pole. Do you have any evidence of the flag "waving" as opposed to just standing out from the pole?

2. Earth orbiting craft can't pass the radiation belt. Where did you get this one? You're looking at shots of Mars every day that came from two craft that passed the radiation belt. Or did you mean humans can't pass it? Radiation doesn't kill instantly unless it is massive. The earth's radiation field isn't strong enough to cause sudden death.

3. Faked moon landing tape? Of course, you have no proof, correct?

By the way, "photos" taken by Hubble wouldn't be definitive for conspiracy theorists. If we could fake the initial landing, how much easier to fake photos by Hubble.

Not only would you have to get the astronauts in on the fake, but you'd have to get all the NASA people who handled the transmissions and the people at the ground stations receiving the transmissions in on the fake.

Get a life!

I wish we were on the moon! I'd love to feel the gravity of that place and watch Earth from another perspective. Unfortunately, some other bozos old enough to be my grandfathers got the opportunity to land on the moon. Perhaps someday I'll get my chance too.

Why do Europeans (especially non-native English speakers) put spaces before punctuation? Honest question.
