So have you EVER heard of them doing a full scale mock up in the desert, complete with low gravity & lunar dust?
If they did such a full scale mock up, it would be common knowledge no need for secrecy there.
I wanna see documented evidence of your claim, or its complete drivel.

So what? They're not allowed to practice before a mission now? I guess you're gonna say next that the giant water tank they use now to practice space walks is a conspiracy to hide something too?

EVERYONE LOOKY AT THIS ONE!!
This is the video. I saw this earlier and it ended the mystery for me. The footage is longer, clearer, and lacks the space janitor.

I know I may be hijacking this thread, but... oh well.
I've developed a theory about the moon landing.
NASA launched the astronauts into space to explore the moon.
One possibility is that, before NASA actually sent rockets to the moon, they gathered the astronauts into a studio and filmed the "moon landing" to be aired on television for public viewing.
The astronauts also brought cameras to the moon, to film the actual lunar landing to be evaluated by the government.
The faked lunar landing was aired at roughly the same time the astronauts made the landing, in order to fool the American public and the rest of the world that the moon landing we were seeing was being broadcast from space.
Just a thought...

I'm not questioning any thing that has been posted on this thread.
1) Do you think the the US actually made a manned landing on the moon or was the whole thing a lie ?
2) Do you think that the video presented by the government was real or faked.
3) If you feel that video was faked then what do you feel the reason was for the charade ?
I am only trying to get a feel for your thoughts and thought processes

The program's conclusion was that the whole thing was most likely faked in the Nevada desert (in Area 51, of course!).
63, the Astrogeology Research Program played an important role in training astronauts destined to explore the lunar surface and in supporting the testing of equipment for both manned and unmanned missions.
As part of the astronauts' training, USGS and NASA geoscientists gave lectures and field trips during the 1960's and early 1970's to teach astronauts the basics of terrestrial and lunar geology. Field trips included excursions into the Grand Canyon to demonstrate the development of geologic structure over time; Lowell Observatory (Flagstaff) and Kitt Peak National Observatory (Tucson); Meteor Crater east of Flagstaff ; and Sunset Crater cinder cone and nearby lava flows in the Flagstaff area. This training was essential to giving astronauts the skills and understanding to make observations about what they would see on the lunar surface and to collect samples for later study back on Earth.
The volcanic fields around Flagstaff have proven particularly useful in testing equipment and training astronauts. Cameras planned for use in the Surveyor project were tested on the Bonito Flow in Sunset Crater National Park because the lava flow appeared to be similar to flows on the lunar surface. A field of artificial impact craters were created in the Cinder Lakes volcanic field near Flagstaff to create a surface similar to the proposed first manned American landing site on the Moon.

Why does the "original" footage have a time of severe audio/video static when the "public" footage does not? Was video editing that advanced in 1970?
In western Australia during the live broadcast of the Apollo 11 moon landing, several people saw a very unusual occurrence. One viewer, Una Ronald watched the telecast and was astonished with what she saw.
The residents of Honeysuckle Creek, Australia, actually saw a different broadcast to the rest of the World. Just shortly before Armstrong stepped onto the Moons surface, a change could be seen where the picture goes from a stark black to a brighter picture. Honeysuckle Creek stayed with the picture and although the voice transmissions were broadcast from Goldstone, the actual film footage was broadcast from Australia. As Una watched Armstrong walking on the surface of the Moon she spotted a Coke bottle that was kicked in the right hand side of the picture. This was in the early hours of the morning and she phoned her friends to see if they had seen the same thing, unfortunately they had missed it but were going to watch the rebroadcast the next day. Needless to say, the footage had been edited and the offending Coke bottle had been cut out of the film. But several other viewers had seen the bottle and many articles appeared in The West Australian newspaper.
Western Australia received their coverage in a different way to the rest of the World. They were the only Country where there wasn't a delay to the 'live' transmission. Bill Kaysing says 'NASA and other connected agencies couldn't get to the Moon and back and so went to ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency) in Massachusetts and asked them how they could simulate the actual landing and space walks. We have to remember that all communications with Apollo were run and monitored by NASA, and therefore journalists who thought they were hearing men on the Moon could have easily been misled. All NASA footage was actually filmed off TV screens at Houston Mission Control for the TV coverage... No one in the media were given the raw footage.'
