I say yes. Even though it totally would have been worth it to fake the end of the space race just to see to look on communist Russia’s face, I believe that we actually did get there.

probably, but i also have my doubts. who’s to say nasa didn’t say it was real and only have the direct Nasa team know the real secrets. Who came up with the Nasa conspiracy anyway?

I thought the aliens built the grand canyon and pyramids put a man on the moon.

Not that I’m taking this question seriously, but it’s impossible that the moon landing was faked. Absolutely impossible. The video shot shows dust particles rising and falling in patterns that are only possible in the low gravity and no atmosphere found on the moon: the dust falls straight down.

On Earth we have to deal with Brownian motion, the erratic and random movement of particles suspended in gas or liquid. However, because there is no atmosphere on the Moon, Brownian motion doesn’t exist. Therefore the dust particles stirred up by the astronauts falls in a straight line.

You can also see that the rockets only disturb dust in an immediate area when they leave the moon to return to the orbiter. The reason, again, is the lack of atmosphere. Without any air to displace, the only dust that is disturbed is the dust that is touched by the rocket blast itself.

If they did, did that count as international travel, putting the astronauts in the 10% of Americans to hold passports?

@65Stang way to screw up one of the most famous quotes lol. Small step. ^_^

I just want to know how they talked. With all of our technology we can hardly get a cell signal in the middle of a city, and they talked perfectly from the moon with little more than a cb? Did they use ham! Also the radiation is supposed to be so intense, and they had a whole bunch of tinfoil to protect them. Oh, and why can’t you see pictures of the stuff we left up there with all of the powerful telescopes we have now.

My friends grandfather was actually the lead engineer that made the technology making it possible to communicate. Brilliant man.

@uberbatman, what did they use? Guess I could google it. I did read that there is more technology in the iPhone than in the first lunar ship.
