I truly believe that we did land on the moon back in '69, and so should everybody else.
So to finally end all the speculation regaurding the landings, why on earth doesnt NASA use Hubble to photograph the landing sites?
We've seen the amazing things that Hubble can do, so im sure it could give us amazing pics of the lunar surface.
It would be to NASA's advantage as their was no point them spending billions going to the moon if nobody believes they did!!!
One more thing! Why did they never fake a Mars landing!!

That's come up at least a dozen times in this thread already. Does your homework include going back and reading it, even the parts where this was addressed where you were involved in the conversation?

That's it! You're right! Those tiny antennas would NEVER transmit something strong enough for a 16 meter antenna, or even dozens of antennas to receive here on Earth.

I wonder how nasa transmited from the moon live tv feed, I will get in to it later, right now I'm doing my homework , I'm almost done, it shows up nasa could not do it.
Really? Why am I not supprised you came to that conclusion. I seem to recall that back in the early days of television, that tv signals were broadcast out into space.
This was 60 years ago. I'm no expert on the specific subject of signal transmission, but from what I understand, the people on the moon didn't need to send a powerful signal.
The dishes on Earth were powerful enough to pick up the fainter signals coming from the Moon.

I got one for the idea that all the video footage was faked...
What about "One small step for _ man, one giant leap..."
It was live, wasn't it? They tried to say it was a glitch in the comm's, but it was really just Armstrong having a brain fart.
But if it was a hoax it couldn't have been live now could it? What would have happened, as our friend so gleefully pointed out, if something went wrong?
What if a light rack fell? What if a mic wandered into the shot? What if someones dog ran out onto the set? Can we honestly think that NASA would take that big of a risk? Over something so incredably major and significant... could they really risk anything going wrong and revealing the fraud on a live feed to the entire world?
So it had to have been a recorded mockup... but if this is so, why leave it in? Why not go "CUT! ... Neil!!! Get it right!!!" That one little slip up confused millions and left them with a running joke and a blush for decades after. Would they have done the same if say... Buzz forgot to flip down his visor? "Oh he just felt like getting a tan."

How come there was a rock on the moon, with a "C" written on it with what seemed to be a marker, and a "C" on the ground near the rock.

It was a hair. The original print doesn't have it. You can read more about it here. www.clavius.org... and about the coke bottle here. www.clavius.org...
