Opposing to the special that we just aired, "What Happened on the Moon-- Hoax, Lies, and Videotape," America did land men on the moon. Many people are saying that it was staged; they are saying that the shadows are not correct. Here's where they're wrong: there are two light sources on the moon, the Sun and the Earth. On the moon, the Earth would appear as almost "full" and would reflect more light onto the moon than a full moon would onto Earth.
Another thing is the Soviet Union would have found out if America faked the missions to the moon. They would have taken any chance to humiliate the United States if we failed or staged the lunar landings. Communications between Apollo missions and mission control were monitored not just by NASA but by the Soviets and ham radio operators.
The video we showed does point out a few small errors in the earliest lunar photography, such as the crosshairs on the camera lens being covered by objects in the photo. That is the effect of overexposure on scanned copies of the original photo. The brighter areas around crosshairs only need to bleed very slightly to obscure a line of the crosshair completely.
More signs of lunar landings come from the Lunar Laser Ranging Experiment, which has been measuring the accurate distance of Earth to the Moon for decades. Its presence on the Moon, not to mention the data that it provides, holds consistent with the project’s early records. Recent pictures from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter show that all equipment from the experiment remains in its recorded location on the moon. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter also took detailed photos of the descent stage of Apollo 15’s landing module, which first hit the moon in 1971. Other marks on the Moon’s landscape such as rover tracks and even faded footprints can be seen in the same photo set. People also say that the black sky should be full of stars in the pictures, yet none

    In The Secret Life of Bees, Sue Monk Kidd alludes to the first lunar landing to communicate that the mystery of the moon is more intriguing than its discovery. For example, August explains her distress when she hears of Ranger 7’s mission to the moon: “‘Now it won’t ever be the same, not after they’ve landed up there and walked around on her [the moon]. She’ll be just one more big science project’” (114). August further explains that the moon is fascinating because of its ambiguity, and now that humans have access to it, the moon’s mystery is uncovered. Thus, the reality of scientific discoveries replaces the mystical beauty that the previously untouched moon once held. On July 31, 1964, Ranger 7 lands on the moon and sends pictures back to…

    Over the years NASA has launched many Apollo Missions which have led to our better understanding of space and other planets. In 1972, astronaut Charles Duke from Apollo 16 collected lunar rocks in an effort that they may be tested to determine if the interior water levels of the moon. Recent beliefs are that the moon had almost as much water as earth does when it was first formed. After calculations of the amounts of chloride-35 and chloride-37 that should have been found in lunar rocks and soil to support this belief, scientists have determined that the “bone-dry” calculation made by NASA 40 years ago, is correct and that the moon hasn’t had water in the interior and quite possibly the surface.…

    Many proofs of the landing have been released to the public. For example, there is one piece of evidence that is impossible to have been from Earth. A .6mm glass spherule produced by a meteorite impacting onto the lunar soil. Dr. Marc Norman explains, "We've found a particle of fresh glass in moon rocks that were produced by explosive volcanic activity and by meteorite impacts over 3 billion years ago." In basic terms, this specific particle could have only been produced on the moon here on Earth water rapidly breaks down such volcanic glass in only a few million years. Which leads theorists to question themselves if it really indeed happened. But an open investigation is supported by people overseas too. Vladimir Markin, the spokesman for Russia's investigative Committee, penned a column for the Russian newspaper Izvestia focusing on the US FIFA corruption investigations. The list of investigations included the Apollo mission that everyone is debating about. Markin Cites the loss of the original Apollo 11 moon landing video and the “disappearance” of 400 kilograms of lunar rocks collected during Apollo missions. How can 400 kilograms of lunar rocks just disappear lunar rocks are not things you just…

    The people who think that the moon landings were faked saw that there were no stars in the sky in any of the pictures. This probably happened because the camera quality wasn’t great at the time and probably didn’t capture the stars light. This still happens today when using bad quality cameras. People also believe the film camera would have melted on the moon because of how hot its surface is. Wouldn’t you think that NASA would have thought of that? They most likely made a camera with film that wouldn’t melt. If they can make a rocket powerful enough to go to the moon, they can build heat proof…

    Only few days after Woodstock was the landing of Apollo 11 on the moon, this was of course went down as one of the most victorious days in American history, and a couple days prior to that was the murders of the Manson family. It is easily said that landing on the moon was one of the greatest accomplishments for America. This event is right at the top of the list with events such as The Civil Rights Act of 1964, Obama becoming presedent in 2009, and the Emancipation proclamation of 1863. On July 16 of 1969 three men, commander Neil Armstrong, Command module pilot Michael Collins and lunar module pilot Edwin ”Buzz” Aldrin launched inside of a rocket, with 7.5 million pounds of thrusting upward into space to make as Buzz Aldrin once said “One…

    The evidence supporting the overall theory that the landing was faked are in abundance but there is also even more explanations on why the so-called evidence is actually correct. One of the popular items of evidence, is that there weren't any stars in the landing pictures and that the astronauts said themselves that they had not seen any starts. The explanation behind this came to be that the landing was during the lunar daytime, of which the sun outshone the stars making them invisible.…

    Apollo 11: Fake or Not?

    They collected 21.7 kg of moon rock for samples while they were up there. The ship was called the U.S.S Hornet, and they spent 195 hours, 18 minutes, and 35 seconds from the time that they lifted off until the time that they landed. These men were all very brave, considering that there had already been a few failed launches by other countries, and they were in great danger when they decided to go, because one screw up in the structure could cause the ship to explode, or throw them off course. It has been 42 years since the mission took place. They had decided to launch the ship just months before the launch actually took place.…

    They recorded verbal descriptions and pictures of the regolith. Neil Armstrong made this observation, "The surface is fine and powdery. I can kick it up loosely with my toe. It does adhere in fine layers like powdered charcoal to the sole and sides of my boots. I only go in a small fraction of an inch, maybe an eighth of an inch, but I can see the footprints of my boots and the treads in the fine sandy particles" (Apollo 11 Mission). Other objectives were to collect lunar samples and deploy experiments. They collected 47 pounds of samples and successfully deployed four experiments. The Apollo 11 brought the first geologic samples from the Moon back to Earth. The samples did not contain any water which suggest that there has never been any living organisms on the moon (Apollo 11 Mission). Overall, Apollo 11 did not contribute the most in scientific discovery but it showed that landing on the moon was possible which encouraged further exploration that lead to the encountering of more discoveries such as in the later Apollo…
