Americans on moon?

Do you personally believe Americans ever went on moon?

There was a lot of debate about this before... Apparently Russians gave evidence that Americans never went on moon?

If they did then... why can't they go now? Or they had technology THEN, but don't have NOW? lol

I know it's a lot more complicated then I will ever know but personally I belive they didn't.

:roll:

Yeh, literally every remotely plausible theory I've seen has been disproved many times... from the flag fluttering one to the lack of stars in the sky in the photos, to the multiple shadows and onwards...
They landed on the moon.

Yeh, and by the looks of ti they got a truck ready to race :wink:

I don't understand if they did it in 69, and they plan going again why does it take 40+ years to do it again, when people fly in space all the time?

Yes, wind on the moon :D

That can be easily checked. All it takes is that Russians or Chinese land on moon and find or don't find vehicle and American flag.

Having in mind all that that, I'm sure they did land because they knew that Russian landing on moon after that could blow their cover.

Pretty simple :wink:

Yeh but the wind probably took the flag and footprints 8)

I can't control if they have been there but I tend to believe they have.
On this side is every think explained so they have been there unfortunately it is writen in German so most of you can't understand it. But I'll post it anyway because some can read it.

After all thinks explained I really dislike those people who whant
to doupt it and tell it every where around that they have not been there.

Landing on the moon and returning with this technic is such a great thing.
To doupt it with no real evidence is really arogant to the achieved thing.

Most of the doupter can make a lot of money by making a great work bad. But they achieved nothing by there self than making the others bad.

Flying in space and landing on the moon are two different things. Don't forget it costs a LOT of money to put a man on moon. Back in '69 the nation was interested in wining the space race from Russia. After that, the priorities changed and the tax payers were not intersested in NASA anymore.

Ofcourse there is no wind on the moon. The flag was attached to a 'not-very-rigid' pole frame. So when Neil Armstron finished planting the falg, the frame was vibrating a little bit and since there is no wind on the moon there was no resistance to the motion of the flag and hence the flag started waving.

Because someone at NASA got the bright idea to scrap capsules in favor of the Space Shuttle, thinking it would be cheaper. Turns out the Shuttle is much more expensive and less capable.

Gotta love NASA. They spent millions to develop a pen that works in zero gravity. The Russians just used pencils.

You don't want the broken pencil tips and their remains to fly in zero gravity and interfere with the over sensitive panels in the spacecraft.

Besides you can always sell the 'Zero G' pen as an expensive souvenir!

Touche! Graphite is an excellent electrical conductor.

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but this is an excellent place to seed other conspiracy theories :twisted: Let's start with the
phantom cosmonauts.

Do they have to be space themed?? If not I think this one is the most popular:

You can actually use a regular pen in space...

Anyhow, take a telescope, point at landing sites, notice landers, case closed.

I believe they did get to the moon, mainly because i want them to have acheived something so great for mankind. There isn't really enough evidence either way, I'm told its posible to see all the landing sites through a powerful telescope (n.b. full moon tonight I think) but I wouldn't know a site from a crater I don't think. They don't go to the moon anymore because there's nothing there to go for, its just a big rock and the cost of getting there far outweighs the novelty of reaching it.
