And, of the MILLIONS who were employed by those HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of contractors over the last 60 years?
Give me access to a junk yard, maybe an airplane junk yard as well, a couple guys and some blow torches maybe a hollywood prop consultant and I'll build you a rover in a weekend okay. And it will look and even go like the real deal, all for under 10k.

I'm not into the moon-hoax theories enough to comment one way or the other concerning fakery. But let me play the devil's advocate for a moment. They fake it by building all of these contraptions, putting them into a very real and very large rocket, they send the capsule and its contents (lunar lander, astronauts, etc) into orbit. They stay in orbit for an extended period of time, and after disconnecting the damning evidence (lunar lander etc.) into deep orbit or even out of the earths orbit, the space capsule lands with the three heroes with a tale of "landing on the moon".
In this manner, you have all of the people involved believing in something "real" and only a handful knowing the truth.

The onus is on neither side. Each side presents their respective case, and ultimately the truth shall be told. This is not a court of law, nor anything else remotely like one.

What's hard to believe is that we had enough technology to get us there, but none to do a proper job of documenting it.
The same questions over and over - why no long exposures of the sky? Why no video pans upward or 360 degrees? It's an omission that does not seem plausible. When evidence is put forward, it's either low resolution or far from clear. The only hard evidence is in the form of rocks and mirrors on the moon - both of which could be accomplished using remote technology. It has the earmarks of a spun story and if I was in charge of spending billions of tax payers dollars, I would need a 100% guarantee of success. I could not risk killing american Heros, or having my expensive mission fail. It would be a true epic fail that could have killed the entire project and the hearts and minds of the country.
What's easy to believe is mans greed and how it can manifest itself.

...My guess is that if they did that it would expose the fakery, as astrophysicists and astronomers would be able to easily tell where certain stars are, and be able to figure out all the trajectories and know immediately if what they're seeing is actually footage coming from Mars or from the Moon. Why is why they never can pan up in a video, or take pictures of the sky, because the sun and the stars would tell the viewer where they really are. I could be wrong but at least to me that would make some sense. no different from how navigation is done using the stars when looking up from earth.

Trust me I'm like 99.9% positive that they did it this way.
I won't if you don't mind.
Trust me, you can trust me. I know what happened back then!

I was actually planning on reading this OP, when I first opened this thread.
That quickly changed however, while reading the first couple sentences.

Why would you scream it out as ' shocking PROOF', if even you don't completely believe what you say?

Jeezus Christ, have any of you people who come on here claiming fakery, have any of you ever studied the Apollo missions in any way or form beyond the lunatic fringe 'everything is a lie' paradigm??
You do know that practically every minute of the astronauts time was planned and scheduled, they had a large workload to accomplish and limited time to do it. I guess long exposures and 360 panoramas weren't high on the priority list, as who would have guessed that the conspiracy fueled appetites of very plainly stupid people, 40 years in the future, would need to be assuaged.
You people are a bunch of morons.
r2d2, man you know I think you're an ok bloke, but I'm out. I'm done with this horsesh*t.
This topic is for the ignorant.

Uh, the stars will look exactly the same from the Moon and Mars as they do from Earth. You have to move a huge distance for their location to change, so anyone looking at them from a video from Mars, would see the same stars, in the same location as they would from anywhere on earth. You would need special instruments to see any difference from Mars. The moon is so close that there isn't a measurable distance.edit on 9/30/2012 by Zaphod58 because: (no reason given)

they always get ignored in these threads
why ?
Because the conspiracy theory sites ignore them, or when the lunies do their "research" they ignore it.
