Before Apollo 11 landed on the moon‚ there were numerous programs that came before and even many missions in that specific program that were not slated for a lunar landing. Consequently‚ each mission previous to Apollo 11 provided engineers‚ doctors‚ machinists‚ and businessmen with more raw data to make new decisions‚ designs and understand limits than ever before

July 20‚ 1969 and I am now completely convinced of one thing: it never happened. The Apollo Missions were an elaborate hoax to win the space race. There were photo errors (such as shadows going in different directions) and numerous film anomalies. Also‚ the astronauts were not protected by the lead needed to travel through the Van Allen radiation belt. Before my research‚ I remember looking at the photos of the Apollo 11 mission and thinking this is proof‚ I have no reason to question it. Now I look

is nobody to prove the moon landing was staged. As a result‚ the theories that accumulated after the moon landing cannot be possible because of the scientific evidence and the fact that there were multiple moon landings closely following the first Apollo mission which means we did possess the technology; therefore the U.S. government did not lie and the country did land the first man on the

millions of the tax payer’s dollars? In fact don’t answer that. Well let’s get the ball rolling. Firstly we know that the Soviet Union was monitoring the Apollo missions from the moment they took off until the waves had calmed from the command module splash down. The Russians had high powered radar stations which were used to track the Apollo missions on their voyage to the moon. What does this tell us? The Russians were fully aware the moon landings were taking place. Just to give Russia her full

On July 20‚ 1969‚ Astronauts Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin and Neil Armstrong of Apollo 11 landed on the moon. A few years later on December 14‚ 1972‚ the astronauts of Apollo 17 became the last manned mission to the moon. It seems inconceivable that 43 years later‚ these footprints left by Apollo 17 astronauts were the last of any man. Even more disturbing is the lack of a permanent commemoration or memorial to the accomplishment of those 12 astronauts that made the perilous journey. With all of the

21st‚ 1969‚ Buzz Aldrin climbed out of Apollo 11’s lunar module and descended onto the Sea of Tranquility. Armstrong and Aldrin were alone‚ but their presence on the moon’s gray surface was the culmination of a convulsive‚ collective effort. The Apollo program was the greatest peacetime mobilization in the history of the United States. To get to the moon‚ NASA spent around 180 billion dollars in today’s money‚ or four percent of the federal budget. Apollo employed around 400‚000 people and demanded

Soviet Union on the other hand was actually trying‚ but failed. They broadcasted the “moon landings” all across the world‚ which made the Soviet Union very unhappy. But most people believe that this is untrue‚ but Buzz Aldrin‚ an astronaut on the Apollo 11 space shuttle‚ claimed that he faked the whole mission in a studio‚ than there is also some strange things found in the photos and videos taken of the moon‚ and

What historical event do you wish you could have participated in and why? Four days traveling to the moon on Apollo 11 had to be and amazing experience for Neil Armstrong‚ Michael Collins‚ and Edwin Aldrin. What if I had been a part of that? I can’t even begin to imagine the view‚ the emotional rollercoaster‚ or the feeling of success in that event. I wish that I could have been involved in the landing on the moon. I would be so joyful if I obtained the ability to travel to the moon. After
