Man Walked On The Moon????

Now I am not sure if this has been brought up before, I did a quick search, but nothing.
I have just recently watch this documentary called MOON RISING.
What I would like to know is how many people out there think that man landed on the moon the first time when they said they did?? Or did they land there at another date?? Or if all??


I here so many stories on this subject, and yes looked on internet too, And I am not interested in media, Mainly because they only give half the truth as well. But want to know how many people believe it was a conspiracy, Or whether it was real. Would be also appreciated if I could get some scientist, and astrologists opinions on here too. And do any of you with a decent telescope see any thing odd on the moon that should not be there, I tend not to believe every thing documentaries say, because they can also be hoaxed. Any opinions please on this matter???? Thanks in advanced

There was said to be 12 men that walked on the moon since 1969.

There is a lot of websites based on what you are wanting to question here. I've not seen a lot on ATS about this matter.

Go ahead... lets hear what you have to say!

Funny you mention Moon Rising.

Yes, man has walked on the moon, .... this is a FACT.


It boggles my mind that people actually question this.

oh yeah but maybe on a different datew because of the russians

Suprising to some. most people on these kind of forums, believe we went to the Moon. And accept it as fact.

Just like I do.

If NASA only ever sent up 2 people who landed on the moon, then it would be easier to debunk.

but they have sent 12. Thanks to the incredible Apollo mission.

Apollo 11 July 20, 1969:
1 Neil Armstrong
2 Buzz Aldrin

Apollo 12 November 19-20, 1969:
3 Pete Conrad
4 Alan Bean

Apollo 14 February 5-6, 1971:
5 Alan Shepard
6 Edgar Mitchell

Apollo 15 July 31–August 2, 1971:
7 David Scott
8 James Irwin

Apollo 16 April 21-23, 1972:
9 John W. Young
10 Charles Duke

Apollo 17 December 11-14, 1972:
11 Eugene Cernan
12 Harrison Schmitt

And you know whats sad (i mean unhappy sad). most people dont even know this.

These 12 brave men had no idea if they were going to make it off the launch pad. let alone to the moon and back.

Frankly the "Moon landing was a hoax" theory holds absolutely no water at all. and was probably dreamed up by some very sore Russian scientists.

On the matter. of are they telling us all there is? is another matter.

Nice image, I love the Onion

Man has certainly walked on the Moon. It's as certain as Escamilla being a career hoaxer. The Moon Rising vid is just his way of making a buck...lies, damn lies and color filters

Try searching "did man walk on the moon" in the top right search field. You'll likely get over a hundred threads. Since I joined up, there's been maybe 20-30....they come in waves.The Moon Landing Hoax is one example...

Some of the threads are great reading...

when Hubble takes close ups of all the equipment left behind by these alleged missions i might believe they went there.

till then, i'm calling shenanigans.

I agree!

Yes. while they do that. why not go and read a book with a pair of binoculars.

we have photos btw..

Hubble isn't designed to look at objects as close as the moon, it's designed for looking at far off galaxies.

Having said that, Hubble has been pointed towards to moon, the resolution is fairly good, but you won't see any lunar landers with it.

They left reflector's up there that you can shine lazers on.

well you won't see the lazer coming back all that distance, but observatory's can detect the beam as it bounces back.

and how did reflector's get on the moon ??? thats right, you guessed it.

I guess that's your prerogative. I should let you know that you've set the bar a little too high...Hubble can't image small objects on the Moon. It wasn't designed for such close distances. The LROC has taken images of landing sites, tracks and equipment and been discussed in several long threads...Why are the LROC images so lousy?

Can Hubble see the Apollo landing sites on the Moon?

No, Hubble cannot take photos of the Apollo landing sites. An object on the Moon 4 meters (4.37 yards) across, viewed from HST, would be about 0.002 arcsec in size. The highest resolution instrument currently on HST is the Advanced Camera for Surveys at 0.03 arcsec. So anything we left on the Moon cannot be resolved in any HST image. It would just appear as a dot.

To prepare, NASA scientists are using the Hubble Space Telescope to hunt for resources, such as oxygen, that are essential for people to survive and to sustain their existence on the lunar surface.

Wait what?

Russia left reflectors on the moon as well.

...and how did the reflector's get on the moon ??? that's right, we did NOT take them and Russia has not landed there yet. I will let you tell me how they got there.

Russia has not landed there yet.

actually thats not true. russia have landed Lunar vehicles on the moon 1970 and 1973,after nasa Landed Man on moon.

found this interesting:

Lunokhod 2 continues to be detected by lunar laser ranging experiments and its position is known to sub-meter accuracy. Ownership of Lunokhod 2 and the Luna 21 lander was sold by the Lavochkin Association for $68,500 in December 1993 at a Sotheby's auction in New York[9] (although the catalog incorrectly lists lot 68A as Luna 17/Lunokhod 1).[10] The buyer was computer gaming entrepreneur and astronaut's son Richard Garriott (also known as Lord British), who stated in a 2001 interview: "I purchased Lunakod 21 [sic] from the Russians. I am now the world's only private owner of an object on a foreign celestial body. Though there are international treaties that say no government shall lay claim to geography off planet earth, I am not a government. Summarily, I claim the moon in the name of Lord British!"[11] In 2007, Garriott said he is the owner of Lunokhod 2.[12][13]

Same way Luna 16 landed on the moon, took samples and returned them to earth, the Proton rocket!

I bring up the Luna 16 because to me, it is the ultimate proof that man landed on the moon.

Analysis of the dark basalt material indicated a close resemblance to soil recovered by the American Apollo 12 mission.

I dont think this picture helps us in saying that the moon landings were not faked...

With people in them?

Howdy Chad and Mr. Bob

Tom Murphy plans to spend much of the next five years using the Apache Point telescope in New Mexico as a tape measure 239,000 miles long -- give or take a millimeter. He'll employ the telescope, a laser beam and reflectors left by several lunar missions in a technique known as laser ranging to provide the most exacting measure yet of the Earth's distance from the moon. Scientists have long known the center of the moon is about 238,700 miles from the center of Earth. In the early 1970s, the distance was known to within about 25 centimeters (10 inches) but technological advances since the mid-1980s have sharply reduced that margin to about 2 centimeters (less than an inch).

Measuring Moon Distance To Thickness Of A Paperclip

The unmanned Soviet Lunokhod 1 and Lunokhod 2 rovers carried smaller arrays. Reflected signals were initially received from Lunokhod 1, but no return signals have been detected since 1971, at least in part due to some uncertainty in its location on the Moon. Lunokhod 2's array continues to return signals to Earth.[2]
