Yes, I believe we landed there because I have an IQ over 20.....
Still I think all these conspiracy nuts are all making a ruckus over nothing.

We were on the moon. We left things up there, a couple of which are a few mirrored reflectors on the moon. We can bounce a laser array off those reflectors and get the laser back in real time. That is the final proof that will never be disproved. We have been to the moon.
/thread.
There is a rediculous amount of evidence supporting the landing.
It amazes me that people are willing to believe in conspiracies even after they have been disproved.

Can the 24 people who answered conspiracy line up in front of me so I can slap them across the face? Please?

I mean, seriously people. Let's use our brains.

I believe they landed on the moon yes.

There's so many people involved from so many different countries, with so many different roles for it to have been faked.

I think I'm going to go with the Buzz Aldrin argument and punch any ridiculous bastard who thinks we faked them in the face.

Someone actually asked me why,if we already landed on the moon,we didn't go back recently.
I made him think about what he said very carefully by pointing out the uselessness of actually BEING of the moon and the gargantuous cost of building over there and resupplying it.
Needless to say that was the last time we debated about that subject.

The fact that the Russians themselves admitted that the US did, in fact, land on the Moon before they did supersedes any and all conspiracy theories that people might have about the "issue".

Oh, and the reams and reams of scientific data and evidence and whatnot.

However, as Winston Churchill is a carrot, refraction of light through water is the government adding scary chemicals into the supply, and the world's going to end in 2012, what do I know?

I have no idea. We've been there once, that's for certain, but I've been told that the second trip there was an obvious fake because the flag was waving. I would have to watch the videos of the expeditions to find out for sure but I'm waaaay too lazy and uninterested to do that. I, like many other people, just don't give a rat's ass about our planet's moon; and I'm only slightly more interested about water on Mars. In fact, I really won't get interested in space unless (until?) the Earth can no longer sustain human life and we as a species have to be evacuated and move to space stations or another planet or something.

Of course they went there, it's been proven... Conspiracy theories are fun and all, but incredibly stupid.

Huh, well currently escapists seem to be as much as 4 times more likely to believe in the moon hoax conspiracy as the 1999 poll claimed, yet we have no comments explaining why any person believes in the conspiracy. Was it just the early confusing grammar, or is there genuinely a sentiment of belief in this?
I think more modern statistics place the figure closer to a third of Americans but don't quote me on that.

Anyway, I can see why people think it might be a hoax for the same reason people can believe in creationism. On the surface it can sound good but if you scratch beneath that you see it's bullshit. For example one of the things the conspiracy theorists like to point out is that the Van Allen radiation belt around the earth will kill you. That's true, but you'd have to stay there for a while for it to do any harm to a human and it can also be shielded against.

It's also becoming harder and harder to deny it, with some recent photos of the remainder of the Apollo landing crafts on the moon being released. Though if you wanted to you could just assume they were faked too.

Also, at the time we were fighting a cold war with russia. Russia had very good tracking capabilities and intercepted every single transmission sent by those spacecrafts. They also had a vested interest in making us look bad.

If it was fake, they would have known it, and would have called us on it, big time.
I've never looked at it quite like that, but I think that is going to be my new favorite line when debunking the conspiracy nuts! haha... awesome.
You can use the same logic for the Roswell incident, and UFO coverups.

If aliens were approaching earth, we would have built defenses to protect ourselves from interstellar incursion.

We only built defenses against Russian bombers and missiles.

There are no alien visitors.
You can dismiss Roswell maybe, but there are too many unexplainable sightings to discount other incidents.

You are also assuming that we have the technical ability to defend this planet from a possible species that posess the ability to travel interstellar distances, and craft that are capable of speeds and manuevers that are currently impossible for terrestial aircraft to match.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1976_Tehran_UFO_incident - military unable to explain.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian_UFO_wave - military unable to explain.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Lights - Governor reverses himself after leaving office.

And Airline pilots are buzzed with such regularity by UFOs they don't even bother reporting it unless they are damaged or otherwise intereferred with.

I've been seeing a 'star' like light for the past 12 months where I work. This week I've determined its most likely the International Space Station, as I was able to look up the flight paths on the NASA site and match it to the last sighting. Bummer.
im sorry but whenever there is a story about a ufo there are far too many holes like if aliens could travel far and anywhere and storys talk about abduction if the do get abducted why is there no evidence when they get back except their word but enough about aleins back to the MOON

I need links! I speak to morons on a daily basis and smacking them in the face with verifiable proof is only slightly less sweet than ecstasy.
Here is a quick debunking of the most used myths (also some that the Mythbusters debunked)

I think that it was real, I have only one problem with the footage though... the flag.

There's another definite proof that the moon-landings weren't fake. That proof lies in history. The only ones just as obsessed as the Americans when it came to watching the moon-landing directly was the other super-power at that time: The Soviet Union. To those of you who don't know, this is why it was called a space-race: it was a show-off of power between the USA and the Soviet Union. You can imagine what would've happened if the Soviet Union thought there wasn't a crew on-board the ship the Americans sent.

I've heard different arguments from Conspiracy Theorists, none of them have made sense to me.

As to the flag which everyone are complaining about. You don't need atmosphere to make a flag move by itself. It is enough that you move the bloody thing and the material-part of the flag will lag behind as it isn't a solid object.

I believe that the USA put a man on the moon. Even if I wasn't alive to experience it.

Also, this should prove amusing to other forum-goers on this topic:

Yes I belive that the american spaceprogram sucsefully placed people on the moon during the cold war. I am suprised on how some pwople react towards the conspiracy-theorists, proclaiming that they are stupid and crazy and such. The conspiracytheory developed during the cold war on rational acusations. The USA had motivation for lying about it if it was a lie. And some things are a little 'off' on the moonlanding-video. these turned out to be propagandaedited adjustments after the actuall landing, but the landing was real.

We were there, just watch Mythbusters, they proved it to be 200% confirmed that we were on the moon. So if anyone has doubts, take it up with them.
