50........... :glugglug

i have serious doubts on it, would be extremely easy to fake it.

"Houston we have a problem...." :321GFY

No We didn't, unless you were driving while I was passed out. But I have seen pics of the Michelin man on the moon.

One more thread like this and I'll believe the NASA just shoot that landing MGM studio.

We had one with a problem on a launch, one while landing, both caused by different things.

So, what difficulties are you referring to?

Precisely :thumbsup

Because orbiting around the earth is closer to get to and from and as they work their way further out they are not going to be able to rely on moons and planets. Using orbiting space stations now gives them the practice they will need later.

I saw a documetrary, that the documents were fake.

Prove that we did.. Then again, Prove that we didn't..

All I know is when I look through my Wal-Mart Telescope I don?t see any signs that we landed on the moon. Think our flag has fallen over yet?

Where you looking?

I welcome anyone who believes it was staged to post the evidence that has brought them to that conclusion. I'm sure a number of people will be able to shoot holes through it in minutes.

i think they (nasa) thinks a bit more about the safty and their rep now than they did back them.. if they lost a few people in space, it was just tough nookie, now they will be more or less closed down for 2+ years if it happens, so they dont want to take the risk!

now - also out of curiosity - how many of you that don't believe we went do believe in aliens and alien abductions?

:warning :warning :warning :thumbsup

I think they were on the moon...could they really keep the hoax going for this long?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Well, out of the few launches and landings we have had, that's not a very good ratio of success to failure.

What do you think the success ratio was on the very first cars, airplanes or chariots?

lmfao @ moon.google.com

Exactly. They made the whole thing up in a Hollywood studio dozens of people working on props, the set, camera men, lighting experts, director, actors, and not one person involved came out and exposed the truth.

we can't do it now, no way we did it then.

I'm not saying that it didn't happen, although I have *some* doubts. If it did happen, which it probably did, I'm amazed by its success.

They sent those Voyager things 3 billion miles away to take pictures of Neptune.

What makes you think they can't send a man a couple hundred thousand miles from earth to the moon?

3 billion?

lol

Isn't that the same guy who kidnapped Howard Hughes and replaced him with a imposter?

Yes according to this.

Neptune
Neptune, named for an ancient Roman sea god, is a stormy blue planet about 30 times farther from the Sun than Earth. Neptune was discovered when astronomers realized that something was exerting a gravitational pull on Uranus, and that it was possible that an unknown planet might be responsible. Through mathematical calculations, astronomers determined there was indeed an undiscovered planet out in space?a year before it was actually seen for the first time through a telescope (in 1846).

Size: About 4 times the size of Earth
Diameter: 30,775 miles (49,528 km)
Surface: A liquid layer covered with thick clouds and with constant, raging storms
Atmosphere: Hydrogen, helium, methane, and ammonia
Temperature: ?353°F (?214°C)
Rotation of its axis: 16 hours and 7 minutes
Rotation around the Sun: 165 Earth years
Your weight: Not known
Distance from Earth: 2,680,000,000 miles at closest point
Mean Distance from Sun: 2,796.46 million miles (4,497 million km)
Satellites: 13
Rings: 4

You should see how many were members of the Knights of Columbus, or Sam's Club.

Scary stuff.

its possible that its all just a hoax.

Yeah, it is so easy to get several thousand people to cooperate in an elaborate hoax with no one able to spill the beans in 30+ years

Orson Wells was the kink of the hoax. :thumbsup

i don't think that it's just a hoax.

Our Apollo lunar soil samples chemically matched the Russian Luna space probes lunar soil. Case closed.

NASA counters the hoax claims pretty well HERE They offer more extensive explanations HERE.

There is kickass vintage video footage from NASA HERE

In our current day and age.. here in the year 2005.. what other FUCKING country is sending reusable spacecraft into space like America? Since everyone knows how to do it and it's so easy why aren't they doing it?

Being an American living overseas the last 3 years I get sick of this stereotypical small cock syndrome some non Americans have toward us. It's frustrating, but it's part of being American. There will always be those who get off on denying the undeniable. In the olden days it used to be oxygen doesn't exist because we can't see it :1orglaugh

Americans are inventive, creative, and help move the world forward so get over it. I think other countries are pissed that we're also capable of this http://earth.google.com/ Read em and weep! We've mapped every square inch of this planet and made it available for free on the internet, for the world, oh those selfish, greedy Americans! When you get your countrymen to work their asses off like Americans, Japan and China then you can talk, until then the best and brightest will continue to leave your country for America because we rock! :pimp
