not to bump this thread but really some guys here inspired me of going again to the moon.... i mean if they've done it in 1969.... why not doing it again now ? why not go and install a webcam on the moon and track what it's recording for example.
Australia supported radio communications in the southern hemisphere with the Parkes dish. parkes.atnf.csiro.au/news_events/apollo11/ Apollo 11's broadcast signals were tracked for distance and directionality as part of the standard telephony procedures in that era. So as far as the fake moon landing theory's are concerned: "directional radio signals don't lie, only people do." In the long run if we're to colonize and industrialize this last frontier engineers and scientists alike will need to come up with safer and cheaper technology, otherwise these feats in human engineering will be expensive 'one off political stunts' to demonstrate a country's technological and economic dominance.

I don't know what the vedio says: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tToiUd4m6A It has more than 8 parts..
Doesn't anybody here keep up with current events. We ARE going back to the moon. Google "nasa Ares" and "nasa Orion" and read and educate yourself.
After reading through this thread I was disappointed by how many people don't think we went to the moon. So while we could get into a long, overdrawn scientific argument about if it's possible and why didn't we do it again, and many more topics, I will instead prove everything you guys consider "evidence" that it was a hoax and I will destroy everything you think "proves" that we never made it. I will do this with one video. http://www.megavideo.com/?v=AB0YMS9U This is the Mythbusters episode where they explored the moon landing myth. Now I won't spoil what they found, however they test everything that skeptics use to try and "prove" it was a hoax. If you still don't believe, even after watching that video, then please respond with exactly what part is still "fake". The last thing I have to say is this, why is that everyone takes everything they read in an email as fact? Why is it that you take everything(or a least a large portion of it) seen on TV as fact? Instead of nodding and agreeing with what everyone else says, go out and do your research. Find out what really happened. And before you say "But you just gave us a video to prove that it was real." This is only because you guys are basing this off videos and emails and self proclaimed "expert" studies of the moonlandings. So I in turn will respond with a video that is meant to explain every part of a the moon landing myths to kids. This is so that you can watch and everyone will understand, what exactly we are talking about. No other video does a better job of explaining everything to someone who is not familiar with the Apollo program. So please, if you still disagree, make a logical well written point. However watch the video first. Then do some research. Then you can make logical points. Also, someone said something about how Australia was able to track the moon landing with radio waves(Sorry to frustrated to find the comment right now) and how people lie but radio waves don't.
ooh man, - Why cannot a Man have shadow on the moon. Shadow was there, but the thing was that shadow was in the wrong direction. - It is supposed to have no air in moon, but the flag was waving. - Sun was facing back side of the astronaut, so front side of the astronaut must be dark but it was not. - Sound was not clear at some times, at that time it was supposed to have no sound communication at these distances. etc.... It all leads to one conclusion...
I watched a documentary a few weeks ago, and everyone was talking about (with proofs)...that all is a big lie with landing on the moon.
I KNOW they did, multiple sources have provided evidence confirming they did. Most recent one I saw was Mythbusters. All the things that people said disprove moon landing they showed were wrong.
So you believe everything you see on TV from self proclaimed "Experts"? How about you do your own research. Watch the video I put in my previous post. It shows you why and how everything happened like it did.
Yes we absolutely did land on the moon. Although every government in every country does its own thing in the way of coverups and underhanded dealings, landing on the moon was not one of them
I don't believe human ever landed on to the moon. Observe the following video. There's no wind in the moon we know. Why the flag moved in the air when astronomers passed across the flag? I'm not impressed to know the logic behind the flag moving mentioned previously here. Just see what happened after 2:35 mins in this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1UEv2PIzl4
If that was wind that made the flag move, why did it only happen when the astronomer walked near it? The rest of the time it never moved.
The irony here is that the flag behaves like any object in a vacuum and low gravity environment. 1/ The flags flapping movement is a product of zero friction to stop the momentum that was transferred to it from the kinetic energy of the astronauts hand. 2/ The low gravity offers less force per second about (1.67m/per/sec²) to pull the flags material downward, ie to pull it into a flat straight sheet and to rest as it's top end supported. Because of this the flag (or any large cumbersome object) moves in all types of random directions a lot longer and gives that famous 'wind type' appearance. 3/ The flags apparent 'flapping' only happens when the astronaut makes contact with it. If it was experiencing some sort of faked studio wind then it would tend to move on its own as it would gather momentum from the air, in real moon landing footage this clearly doesn't happen. (some of those youtube videos are photoshopped from moon hoax conspirators!) 4a/ There's also a famous experiment from Apollo 15's commander David Scott, the hammer feather drop proving Galileo's theory of gravity. As there's no air on the moon there's no terminal velocity acting on the feather, ie it's not being slowed down by air. This proves they where in a vacuum. 4b/ Also there were tools and rocks thrown on the moon and they tended to move a great distance and that's with the astronauts movement restricted due to spacesuit design. This proves they were in a low gravity environment Footage: I was a R&D research engineer and part time physics tutor before I turned to making money online so I know what I'm talking about. and handled it..good point!

But the thing is, "IT CAN BE DONE"! i agree to everyone saying going to the moon is pointless. There are a lot of problems right here on our planet, instead they are off to their shuttles and waste millions and billions and trillion of dollars.
good point and I tend to agree with you those space missions are more for political reasons (the moon race between USA and former USSR for example) India recently sent a probe to the moon even though it is said that more or less 60% or so peoples there don't have access to clean drinking water and sewage removal infrastructure. They did it to generate international attention about their space program and in the hope of acquiring foreign launch contracts, ie political reasoning. As far as the world energy and food crisis I think over time this will be solved, I've theorized that maybe Africa or South America could create an a kind of EU (European Union.) Unlike the former Soviet Union that was ruled by one government each country still holds it's own sovereignty but shares it's currency amongst it's Union partners. This distributes the currency towards to poorer partners due to the wealthier partners seeking cheaper goods and services. This in turn creates a cash injection for the poor countries in this partnership and raises their GDP (gross domestic product) and hence standard of living. Wealthier countries in this partnership are able to profit from this in the global market due to their competitive pricing derived from lower overheads in manufacturing costs from their less wealthy partners. Everyone wins, If Europe can embrace it then surly other less wealthy continents can too! just by .02 cents worth ROOFIS
I think the moon landing was real. I once saw a Mythbusters show about the moon landing conspiracy, since then I'm convinced that it was real.
Yes but only so they could say we landed on another planet. Theres no air on the moon, no water, you can't grow anything its all dust and rocks. They should make the moon a prison planet.
