Isn't the reason you can't see the stars because :

1: It is daytime on the moon and the sun is shining down on the moon.
2: big ol Earth is also up in the sky reflecting a lot of light.

If they were on the dark side of the moon, they would see lots of stars in trippy colors listening to some British psycadelic music :)

The era of the moon landings were also the era of the coldest of the cold war. Do you really think the Russians were not watching (with envy) every step taken and listening to EVERY RADIO SIGNAL sent. There is no way to fake radio transmissions from the moon. You have to be there to transmit from there. You can bet that if the source of those transmissions had been on the earth the Russians would have screamed bloody murder. They didn't, therefore the source of the radio transmissions must have been from the Moon.

Therefore the moon landings occured.

C'mon...of course we landed. The big question is, why haven't we gone back, and why hasn't any other country gone up?

And why am I the first to bring up this curiousity?

<< why haven't we gone back, and why hasn't any other country gone up >>

I'm guessing $$$ has something to do with it

Yes it is a hoax. The reason we haven`t gone back is because Elvis lives up there and doesn`t want to be bothered.

I can see some of these arguments.
But, one question: Why would the Russians let the fake slide? I mean, without the moon landing, they have the lead in the space race, since they were 1 in space. So if it wasn't true, the russians had every reason to challenge it, but didn't. That tells you something.

<< If they had to fake it, they could have, given enough time to prepare. >>



They didn't faked the moon landings. You guys are surfing the NET too much. Just because it's in the NET doesn't mean you have to believe these claims.

<< For many years, Neil Armstrong wouldn't give interviews. Then on the 25th anniversary of the moon landing in 1994, Armstrong gives a rare interview and makes an appearance at NASA. Like the second or third one in 25 years he has done something such as that. Disgruntled employee maybe? >>



If you read up on Neil Armstrong you find that the man is very shy. I imagine he just didn't want to be in the spoltlight.

I personally don't think we faked the moon landings. I have a friend who worked for NASA in Huntsville and he is a big skeptic of mosth things and he was absolutely convinced the landings were legit.

Moon landing is not a hoax.
There is no Area 51.
JFK was assassinated by a lone gun man.
There is no aliens from another planet visiting Earth.
It was a weather ballon.
Crop circles are made by farmers.
He never had sexual relationship with that woman.
Dick Clark is not a robot.
And the internet is invented by Al.

That is all. :)

THE HELL DICK CLARK IS NOT A ROBOT!!!!

My biggest disappointment with Y2K was that terrorists didn't nuke Times Square, so that right before the TV signal cut off, we'd have seen Dick's face just melt off and he'd look like the Terminator. America would've gone, &quot;Well, that explains THAT!&quot;
