The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.
That's a bit harsh on the Russians. After all, they were beating us pretty badly in the space race for a very long time. Most of the “firsts” in space where Russian.
Now add that to the fact that they had a very powerful intelligence community active in the US, they had their own tracking and radio facilities, and had crashed a probe on the moon shortly before we got there. Believe me, if there had been an indication, however remote, that the moon landings were faked, they would have used that as a major propaganda tool for years.As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.

That's the surface temperature of the Moon and it reaches those temperatures by the Lunar afternoon, when the Sun is at its highest point over the Lunar surface. All the Apollo missions landed in the Lunar morning and the surface temperatures were not that high at that time.

Hi ill,
Looks like you are stuck with one foot in a hole while the other tries to run away from you.
You would not be in this fix if you spent some time agreeing with me here. that,
The Apollo 11 launch of the Lunar Lander, the landing on the moon. Then the lift off from the moon and return to the CM. Men in space suits or not
Tell me they were not a first time sucessful test filmed for TV.
If it even ever happened.edit on 4/10/2012 by longjohnbritches because: (no reason given)
Hi Ill ,
Try running this through your spell check!!!
Quit being such a dominatrix. although........
The Apoll lunar lander was a first time test broadcast live on TV.
Was that fair to anyone? Does that strike you as absurd?
blaaaa

Well that's a point, and to expand on that point, why then would NASA feel the need to fake an Apollo 13 disaster?
It bucks all reason.

Here is my biggest problem with all these "moon landing hoax" posts. And someone mentioned this a few posts back. The USSR at the time was on the brink of nuclear war with us. They had EVERYTHING to gain by reporting the supposedly "fake" moon landing. And they had enough spies in the US to have figured out if it in fact was a hoax.
So im just not buying it. It's not like the Armstrong Apollo 11 landing was the only moon landing to happen. If they "faked" that landing, then that means they faked 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17. And almost faked 13 had it not been for the disaster. Can any of you "moon hoax" believers give me a single logical reason why NASA would feel the need to fake 6 moon landings? I've never seen any clear cut proof. Just silly posts like "oh this shadow is off" or the arm chair rocket scientists claiming radiation was too high.

You may address me as illustronic. OK?
What have you brought to the party besides a pretzel, remember that post?
When I receive a cognitive idea, I will (maybe) respond with a supported cognitive reply.
Do you like to throw darts? Are you a 'darter'? If so maybe someone can lend me a blindfold to help even the competitive playing field. Or maybe billiards is more your style, I have no reason to believe that because your trajertocial skills seems a bit to be desired. Please bet money. Or maybe a game of chess? Oh now we are talking, requires no physical demonstration of perceived mechanical engineering concept skills to play, just a mind. You game?
