Moon landing real? Or Horseshit???

[Jayster]

This is always fun... Was it real? Or not?


I've seen some great arguements from the fake side, probably the best being!

How come, we can't point any of our advanced satelites or telescopes to show the Amerikan flag on it?

Completely real. Just ask Russia and a number of private organizations who monitored the event.

ok, so let us look at your statement... If it had never been done? Who could verify it?

Who monitored this event? And wasn't Russia our enemy?(cold war and everything)....

Exactly, if the Soviets suspected we faked the moon landing they certainly wouldn't hesitate in blowing it wide open.

Third parties whom observed one or more moonlandings include:

Pic du Midi Observatory in France
Corralitos Observatory in New Mexico
The Lick Observatory in San Francisco
Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Hawaii
Table Mountain Observatory in California
Bochum Observatory in Germany
Madrin Station in Spain
Goldstone Tracking Station in California
Jodrell Bank Observatory in the U.K.
Chabot Observatory in California
Jewett Observatory in Washington

And a number of independent astronomers.

There's also the whole matter of the moon rocks collected, which are not consistent with anything found on earth. The Soviets also collected moon rocks with unmanned craft and the consistencies between the "american" and "soviet" moon rocks are very similar.

Physical evidence of the moon landings can also be seen in Hubble images in the form of rover tracks and landing patterns. Few actual scientists refute the moon landings as being real, many of the head conspiracy advocates are/were average joes with no real degrees or insider knowledge on anything to do with the moon landings or the science behind them. If I recall, one of the main conspiracy advocates was a former employee at Rocketdyne (the company that built the engines for the Apollo rockets). He never mentioned however, that he was nothing more than a company librarian with a degree in art!

Don't get me wrong, I don't trust in the government at all, and never simply buy into anything they say, but the moon landings did indeed happen.

Google has a thing where they photmapped the Moon like they did for the Google Earth app. It shows not only the American landings, but also the dozen or so Chinese unmanned landings.

[Snoogans]

Real. No doubts there. If they were going to fake it, why would they bother doing it six (and a half) times? Especially seeing as how public interest was waning after the first couple of landings.
However - that being said, I am not convinced that all the photographs we saw were actually shot on the Moon.

100% real ...If it was faked it would have looked a hell of a lot more interesting!!

[jacksonkellyfreak]

plus dont forget the laser reflector.... the use it to measure the moons orbit

[xenophobe]

Seriously, I can't believe that people still think it's faked. Oh, and I was gonna start a thread, but I tested a lens from my balcony tonight to see how well I could shoot through haze and many nearby light sources, as well as general light pollution from the bay area:

THIS IS THE MOON. MEN HAVE WALKED ON IT. DEAL WITH IT.

Killer shot !!

Actually there are sattelite images of the landing zone, the rover marks etc
