The moon landings were not a hoax.

People say the flag was blowing in wind that doesn't exist on the moon. The bottom of the flag has a stiff wire in the fabric to hold it out and this wire was swinging back and forth as they moved the pole back and forth to push it deeper into the ground. As soon as they're done and let go of the flag, it swings to a halt and does not move again look at any video of a flag planting and you'll see this is true.
I'm honestly sick of people who claim we never went to the moon. Project Apollo was a great feat of engineering that took incredible effort from hundreds of thousands of people. It was a historic speed-up in technological development, the likes of which had never been seen before (and probably since). If you would actually read about it the evidence against any sort of "conspiracy", or doubts anyone could possibly have would be an overwhelming avalanche. The only reason conspiracy theorists will admit we even launched a rocket to begin with is because it's simply impossible for them to disprove this fact, with all the people that saw it with their naked eyes and heard the deafening noise of the rocket engine (besides a nuclear explosion, the sound of the Saturn rocket's five F-1 engines is the loudest noise known to man) with their own ears. Proving the going to the moon part itself is easy too, if you would only use common sense. Just think about it: *each mission* cost close to a billion dollars. Just where the hell did all that money go? The main story from conspiracy theorists is that it went into filming the landings in a studio and buying the silence of everybody involved. Okay, so if it's actually a fake, then first of all, where did the money to develop and build the Saturn 5 come from? (remember, we all agree that a rocket was actually launched and it wasn't just our imagination) Second, why have *42 years* gone by without anyone spilling the beans? *Hundreds of thousands* of people are involved. Do you even realize what this means? It is simply *impossible* to keep a lid on something this big, to buy the silence of so many people. I guarantee you, if Apollo was a fake the story would've leaked before the year 1969 was out, forget now. Damn, they'd have been racing each other to be the first to leak it to whatever magazine and get paid for their story (or defect to the Soviet Union and leak the story to them) because once the story is leaked out by one person, the information everyone else would have to give would be worthless. So everybody would want to be the first to leak the story, and get the money. If the moon landings were truly faked, then why, *42 years later* has nobody talked? Don't give me any crap about how the US goverment will assassinate them and their families because that is just impossible. It can't be done. They can run away to any country in the world with complete ease, and be free to do their magazine interview there. Sadly though, most people today don't have the slightest drop of common sense, and won't listen to logic. If you don't like being convinced with logic then here are a couple of solid facts for you: 1. We brought rocks back from the moon. And did NASA refuse to show the rocks to anyone else, or claim to have "mysteriously" lost them, or some other bullshit excuse? Nope! Every major scientific university from around the world that asked for some moon rocks, got some. Ask any geologist who has looked at them and they will tell you the rocks aren't from this earth, that they have special characteristics because they were formed in a vacuum, and that NO, they can't be meteorites, because meteorites are subjected to extremely high temperatures when they enter the atmosphere, and that causes changes to the properties of the rock. 2. The astronauts left mirrors on the moon (as part of the apollo lunar surface experiment package) and we (and by "we" I mean many researchers from around the world) have shined lasers on them and had the laser beam bounce back. The actual purpose of this was to accurately calculate the distance from the moon to the earth, but yeah, more proof for the people who just refuse to believe. Seriously, don't have the mentality of being against something just because it's what everyone else accepts as the truth. Look at the facts, on their own merit, without regard to who or how many people believe them. The people who propagate this stuff about how we never went to the moon do it because they make money off it and for no other reason. Look up Bart Sibrel. He's probably the most famous Apollo conspiracy theorist. He has a COMPANY that makes movies with supposed scientific evidence and distribute them. Learn how to not be fooled by these people. Learn how to do your own research and think for yourself. Don't be a sheep. |
