Yeah, welcome to the garbage bin of conspiracy theories. From ALL such theories, the "structures on the moon/mars" theories are IMO the dumbest, worst researched and argued. The internet is full of claims about "structures", all it takes is usually JPEG/pixel artifacts with the rest classic cases of pareidolia...add "reputable" (lol) people like Hoagland etc. and you have the bottom of really, really bad pseudo-science.

I think you are spot on r2d246. For so long I have wanted to get into the mix. Guess my timidity has hurt in the past. I worked for NASA, roughly 11 years as a project manager. Some of us would chat occasionally about the likelihood or unlikelihood of our being buggered on some of this stuff, especially the planetary probes and Apollo. Sometimes, I think because we were women, a couple of girlfriends and I that worked there, people actually paid us MORE mind. But ultimately we'd get shouted down. The main reason for my suspicions, tendency toward disbelief in the reality of the big projects, had to do with the principals not being very convincing. I met Gene Cernan and I thought he was a con man, VERY UNCONVINCING as a spaceman. I listened to him talk and thought, "No way this guy went to the moon, NO WAY!". I don't think Cernan could park a car, let alone land a lunar excursion vehicle and drive a rover. Also, the hostility thing. I always felt that, and still do, the hostility of the conventional view folks is so much out of proportion to the hoax believers. That is a telltale sign of weakness, aggression. This is so because there is no genuine alternative. I am yet to declare myself an HB publicly , but and am on the verge of it. I also met Lovell. He yaks like mad, but it is all bull. I don't think he could pass a college level calculus with a B+. He come across as a C student with the gift of gab. The planetary probe projects and Apollo are gamed, can't be legitimate.

I don't buy ONE BIT that someone is working for NASA for a decade while being skeptical of their missions as being "real". Sorry, I don't buy this. Try harder.

You really worked for NASA?
Thats really neat
So whats the deal? I know its so compartmentalized, so you might not have any exclusives...but still any good alien stories?
Don't listen to me. I don't want to get you killed. Lol. Thanks for joining the conversation though...and adding your own opinion to the thread.n

Who really knows, i believe that today we can go to the moon, not sure back then. Its easy to see why the government would feel the need to do such a thing since it was a battle with Russia to see who would get there. Russia has so many more man hours put into this they had a lot more experience yet they just seem like they weren't able to.
The van Allen belts are another issue that i wonder how that worked out even back then when not much was known about it. But people getting too close to it would report bright lights even if they closed their eyes since apparently radiation would penetrate the eyelids and go directly in to the brain (who knows if true or not). Many miles of radiation all around the earth, not sure how they made it through considering they did not have the protection to deal with it.
Speaking of radiation while on the moon makes me wonder how the astronauts dealt with space radiation/debris/micro rocks and the temperature of the sun that at such capacities could melt film not to mention boil them inside the suit.
Overall its just the amount of discrepancies that go alone with the whole mission. Too many things that even if an explanation are eventually given ( even if they don't fully satisfy the inquiry) just seem to pop out and hurt the credibility of the mission.
I would bet that most likely they did make it there but simply could not film or it was not sufficient for the public so they filmed stuff for people to watch that was not on the moon or just as likely it dident happen. I mean we haven't been been there in 40years how come?

I emplore you to google a bit more about your claim sir the russians allready had a probe

A series of Soviet Moon probes, including orbiters, landers, and sample-return craft, launched between 1959 and 1976. Lunas were the first manmade objects to reach escape velocity, crash into the Moon, photograph the Moon's farside, soft land on the Moon, automatically return lunar surface material to Earth, and deploy a rover on the Moon's surface. Following the success of the first three Lunas (known in the West as "Luniks"), was a gap of three and a half years while the Soviets developed a more sophisticated strategy for lunar exploration. This involved placing a probe in a temporary parking orbit around Earth before firing a rocket to put the craft on a lunar trajectory – in principle, a more accurate method than direct ascent (that is, shooting straight at the Moon from the ground). However Lunas 4 through 8 all failed, for various reasons, in their attempts to soft-land. Success came again with Luna 9, the first spacecraft to send back photos from the lunar surface. Lunas 10-12 and 14 were orbiters, designed in part to provide detailed photographic maps and collect other data that were essential to the Soviet manned lunar program. Then came a sudden shift in emphasis. With the Moon Race lost to the Americans, the Soviets began launching much larger Lunas – three times more massive than the earlier craft-requiring the more powerful but less reliable Proton rocket. Several of the new generation of Lunas (though not officially named as such) were left stranded in Earth orbit before Luna 15 was successfully placed on a lunar trajectory just two days ahead of Apollo 11. Its audacious mission, to upstage Apollo 11, ended when it crashed on Jul. 21 just as Armstrong and Aldrin were preparing to leave the Moon. Subsequent heavy Luna's, however, were for the most part highly successful, returning several samples along with other valuable data and delivering the first automated rovers to explore another world.
I sum this up in two words Ham - radios, also you may like to read this link

"People love conspiracy theories," Armstrong replied. "I mean, they are very attractive. But it was never a concern to me because I know one day, somebody is going to go fly back up there and pick up that camera I left."
