hahaha you mean we "landed" on the moon right?

Let me guess your a conspiracy theorist, right?



I'm sorry but no matter how much you want to believe we didnt do it, it is fact.

I can't wait for the Hollywood remake to come out! Will it go straight to DVD?

The Onion said it best:

I am at a loss for words why you two genuinely believe it didnt happen, your tarnishing the memory of one of the most imporant events in world history.

I hate conspiracy theories.

Grow up boyz!

why and how is it important?

if man had really gone to the moon, everyone knows he would have brought back cheese, not rocks.

You dont think leaving earth for the first time isnt important?



Or how about all the technological developments that were caused by the space race? like satiletes that allow for a global communication system or the modern computer they were all spin offs of NASA work.



Heres a bigger list of all the developments that came about because of the moon landings.



Thank you NASA

don't forget tang!

I don't know, I always have the feeling that the space race was like to 2 men disputing who has the biggest cock. :P



Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hater and I've NOTHING against this, it's just my 2 cents. And it is a great achievement. :)

i want to go to the moon.

Hey, what do you mean "we"? I didn't see any brits up there!!!



Sike, sike SIKE!



Three cheers for the progression of the human race and the exploration of the unknown and all that.

I'm not saying it isn't, but what makes you so sure it's fact?

Um... I own this , so I'm not really sure what you mean by all this "landed on the moon" business.

I'm not saying it isn't, but what makes you so sure it's fact?



It's one hell of a video editing job if it isn't. I mean it still looks fresh today, & you can't say that of Thunderbirds :)

three cheers for inspiring one of my favourite albums - brian eno's apollo

Ask men.com did an article on this today



going in their order:



5. The Soviet Union Did Not Dispute It



If they could of disputed it they would of loved to have done so, this was at the hight of the cold war and just after the embrasing Cuban missile crisis where they were forced to climb down. Loosing the space race was a major embrassement to them but they havent denied it happened.



4. the number of photographs



People have citied the light sources, errant shadows and so forth, but this is all based on how light behaves in Earth’s atmosphere. The moon has no atmosphere to speak of, and so refraction and reflection will be slightly different. The Lunar Module was covered in reflective paneling, and so would have had a major effect on the way light was reflected onto the surface.



People have also commented that you cant see stars on the photographs but the answers pretty simple, they were their to take photos of the moon so they were using day light film, you'd need atleast 1600 or 3200 film to take photos of the stars and that wasnt their mission.



3. Rock Samples Are Universally Acknowledged As Being Non-Terrestrial



The Apollo Program, between missions 11 and 17, collected some 382 kilograms of moon rocks, which were brought back to Earth for analysis. Every scientist who has studied these rocks has accepted that they are of non-terrestrial origin and there is no peer-reviewed article that contradicts the claim they are from the moon.



Moon rocks have a very specific geological composition which is distinct from both rocks on Earth and other celestial bodies, such as meteorites. Accusations that these samples could have come from lunar meteorites are specious; the first lunar meteorite was not discovered until the 1980s, and up until now, only 30 kilograms of lunar meteorite rock have been discovered -- less than ten percent of the mass that was brought back from the moon. Added to this is the fact that lunar rocks are not subjected to the same geological processes as those on Earth, and the rocks brought home were found to be in excess of 600,000,000 years older than the oldest known rocks on Earth.



2. No one inside the program disputes it



400,000 people worked on the program and not one person has come forward claiming that its a work of fiction, keeping that many people quite over a 40 year period is impossible espeicially when the rewards for coming forward and disputing it would be so high.



1. It Happened Again…And Again…And Again



Charlie Duke, an astronaut on the Apollo 16 mission said, “We have been to the Moon nine times. Why would we fake it nine times, if we faked it?"



it is far easier to do it once and then stop, than to keep exaggerating the lie over the course of the next few years. Sooner or later somebody would have made a mistake to give the game away.

I shouldnt have to defend something thats fact.

I like the moon.

I don't believe in the moon, sry

Balderdash.

Also, Apollo13. Why fake fucking up like that?



Unless that's what They want you to think.

thought this was an interesting story…



russia landed craft on moon hours before apollo 11

I thought the moon was a hologram ;-;

The moon is cheese.

I like cheese.

i love you, moon.

Anyone wonder what mythology would be like if we had two moons? Or seven? Or how that would have affected the devlopment of the calendar? The signs of the Zodiac? Again, mythology? Or how that might have changed people's perceptions of the menstrual cycle? Or how that would affect the tides? And whether changes to tides might have changed evolution entirely?



But instead, we got one as a companion piece to the sun.

Marbs I live near Jodrell bank observatory, its so awesome that they picked up on something like that and it must be great news for them because a few months ago they were on the verge of being shut down.

Everybody knows that the French got there first.

it's inspired some great art though, SJ…

All that being said, why haven't we, or Russia, or anyone gone to the moon again?

oh apparently the U.S. has been again? that's news to me

ah yes the Apollos

John I've never really thought about it, its tough, if we had more than one moon (both or all in stable orbits) they'd probably act as a shield, so in theory dinosaurs would still be around.



Thats assuming there'd be any dinosaurs at all, wouldnt having more than one moon change the gravity of the planet? if so that might make it un inhabitiable.

general zod paid a flying visit

There's not much point going to the moon again. Once you've been six times, and you've collected all the rocks anyone will need to study it gets very expensive going back for very little reward. There's really not a lot there.

what reason would we have to go yet again anyway?

i don't think having more than one moon changes the gravity, it's the other way around isn't it? i think the earth would have to be bigger to trap another moon in its orbit?

we should go back and bring a moonbounce and compare and contrast

aren't the chinese planning on going soon?

they went and bought the moon while everyone was watching the summer olympics opening ceremony

Mars is smaller than us and has two, but they are also very very small, so maybe we'd have to be bigger to trap a proper-sized moon. It's only really the gas giants with multiple moons, and Venus and Mercury have none. But it's still cool to think about, I think.

America is going back by 2020. They developing a rocket called the Ares V and a new Eagle-like lander craft.

Neil Armstrong is not amused by your theories.

I take it back. he's slightly amused.

Here's an article on the new craft.

I hope they get Josh Brolin to play Buzz in the hollywood remake

arent we suppose to go back to the moon sometime soon; like within the next few years?
