Well anyway JUST DO YOUR RESEARCH.

To reach the Moon astronauts would have to travel through the Van Allen Radiation Belts, resulting in lethal doses of radiation. Answer is...down below r2d246
Intense radiation from solar flares would have killed the Apollo astronauts in route to the Moon and back.
In addition to exposure to deadly radiation, the Apollo astronauts would have been pierced by thousands of micrometeoroids.

Anyone who does enough research generally comes to the conclusion that they did NOT GO THE MOON.
....They say there computers were powerful enough. That's garbage. They did some tests and realized the kind of computers you'd need to facilitate such an endevor were not available at that time.
The Apollo guidance computer had the equivalent computing power of today's kitchen appliances, far less than that required to go to the Moon.
The computer technology did not exist in the 1960's to build the Apollo guidance computer.
The astronauts' movement inside the Lunar Module would change the center of mass, throwing the LM off balance, and making it impossible to control.

I also want to talk about pictures:
Use resolution 800 x 600 (under the image to the right). This impotent, ineffective, unconvincing, weak “Mighty Eagle” is just attached to a tree.
It is not a flying test,

You mean the video I found and uploaded 4 years ago when you came completely unhinged and got yourself banned?
You have built this rocket to land on the moon:
and instead you test the rocket of the video that is not the mock-up of Snoopy.
I think it isn't a good idea. Snoopy had a powerful shaking rocket engine at the bottom and four thrusters used to gain stability. If you test another rocket without this system, you are a little wrong.
Another insignificant remark: if you are testing the rocket to verify if it is able to land like a helicopter, flying in vertical attitude, perhaps you should not hold it suspended with cables.
With cables also a man can fly.

Instead NASA's buffoons have said that Flying Crane Eagle + Curiosity have travelled to Mars at velocity of 21,000 km/h
From: Spaceflight 101
As of 22:00 GMT on March 26, MSL had completed 309.2 Million Kilometers of its 567-Million Kilometer Journey to Mars (192.1 Million Miles of 352 Million Miles total). Relative to its reference point in the Solar System, the Sun, the Spacecraft was traveling at a relative velocity of 90,922kph (56,496mph). Now cruising at a Distance of 4 Light-Minutes to Earth, MSL is speeding at a relative Velocity of 52,273 Kilometers per Hour (32,481mph). 4 Light-Minutes translates to 71.84 Million Kilometers and 44.64 Million Miles. At 22:00 GMT on Monday, the Spacecraft was ‘only’ 3.05 Light Minutes or 54.85 Million Kilometers (34.1 Million Miles) from Mars moving at a relative velocity of 30,150 Kilometers per Hour (18,734 Miles per Hour). With the mission on track and all spacecraft systems in pristine condition, everything is on track for landing on August 6 (GMT).
