I do. I have quite a few thoughts on this subject as well. I will give more insight to it here in a bit but I wanted to get the topic started.

I think that we landing on it, but there is certainly a very good conspiracy theory argument out there that would say otherwise. Definitely interesting.

How old are you that voted it's a hoax?

 

I remember when I was a little kid, that I watched the Jetsons every Saturday. You could NEVER have convinced me that we'd be able to cook food in a little box on the kitchen counter. :lol:

 

As well, I watched Disney movies and couldn't fathom that a machine could count.

 

I would never have believed that we'd be able to talk on the phone without being tethered to within a few feet of the wall. Even crazier, that we would be able to talk on the phone while miles away from our homes, with no lines attached at all.

My grandfather and I stood out on his front porch with a telescope and saw those guys on the moon. I was an eye witness !! :irked:

Sorry TrueBlue, but I just realized that I clicked on the wrong response. I should've read a little closer.

 

Mark me down as a believer in the moon landing. For the record, most of the arguments for the hoax were pretty clearly disproved by Mythbusters...

No hoax. Sorry, conspiracy theorists.

I saw that one to. Its forseriously real.

100% happened.

Read question wrong as I was listening to the rules clinic online. I believe it happened.

Alright, so here's my take on the whole situation.

 

First off I know there are many websites stating evidence of a hoax, and I know that there are just as many debunking the hoax but even then how do we know what the truth is.

 

NO ONE actually seen those men on the moon and I mean no one. Unless you were on the moon with them then I don't want to hear anyone say they seen it happen. Does everyone really believe everything they see on tv? Yes the Apollo took off from the ground but that doesn't mean it actually landed on the moon does it?

 

In the years of prep and actually launch date it cost around $25 billion for the Apollo project, that's a pretty steep price just to land on a rock before the Soviet Union. Since that time NASA has planned 3 more trips since then and all have been canceled due to lack of money. I find it hard to believe that NASA couldn't come up with some sponsor money and all of these television deals to help generate the money. It seems funny that they announce this stuff about going and the closer it gets they cancel.

 

Also, the Soviet Union had launched the spy satellite and Americans freaked out so the American government put together this whole elaborate hoax of landing on the moon to try and "unite Americans" together and it actually worked.

 

I'm going to talk about the picture evidence now, and I know there are many testimonials debunking each picture.

 

*There should have been a larger crater in the moon than what there was. I know the moon is a giant rock but the blast from the shuttle should have made some kind of dent.

 

*Why is the flag waving for? There is no gravity, nor wind on the moon. I read one thing that said the astronauts touched the flag but in all the videos I've watched they didn't "touch" it after they spiked it in the ground. The ripple effect would not have been that smooth.

 

 

Now onto the whole "we taped over the moon landing". Are you serious NASA, you all actually taped over the only original video footage from the Apollo mission. This just provides more controversy for NASA that this happens.

 

What about Buzz refusing to swear on a bible that he actually walked on the moon. Now I know some of you will say that he didn't have to prove anything but if I landed on the moon and I knew I did then I'd have absolutely no problem with putting my hand on the bible and saying so.

 

 

 

I'll have more later but this is it for now. I'm not saying we could never land on the moon but I am saying it's hard to believe that we did in 1969, I don't believe the technology was there and I believe it was a quick setup by the government to lower the concerns put on by the Soviet Union.

Heck yes it was real! Come on now, TrueBlueWildcat, you really think it was a hoax? :lol:

In related news, the Holocaust is a myth and President Bush looked the other way on 9/11 so we could invade Iraq.

Listen, I know I'm in the minority on this but to completely disregard something because you seen it on television is pretty laughable.

Lets not forget that Roosevelt knew the Japanese were going to attack Pearl Harbor and he let it happen.

Keep it coming guys, it doesn't bother me. I think it just makes you all look very close minded on certain subjects that you all want to believe in because of the situation and magnitude it would have on people but clearly have flaws that make them seem like they could have been staged.
