Let me try to answer some of the questions about this hoax.
3.the main evidence that there was fraud was the absence of a crater under the 50,000 pound thrust LEM landing rocket.
9,982 lbf (44,400 N) at full throttle; throttle range of 1,050 lbf (4,700 N) to 6,800 lbf (30,000 N)
I don't think anyone's implying they carried it the full distance, more that they just turned it around on the spot instead of doing a 3 point turn, and it's lunar weight would have been about 75lbs

So they carried it 50 yards from the LEM?
Is that what you are suggesting because frankly that doesn't make much sense.
I'm not sure I can see astronauts carrying this thing either.
Anyone know what the weight of the LRV would be on the moon?
What originally got me to wondering if they faked the landings was when they showed the LEM landing and dust was flying everywhere from the retro rocket on the bottom yet when they landed there is no blast pattern showing anything of the kind. Surely such a rocket would disturb the lunar surface in some fashion, wouldn't it?edit on 28-11-2012 by Asktheanimals because: added comment
1. Why didn't the Russians blow the whistle and expose this hoax? In the late 1960s the Russians were in bad shape economically. We were feeding half their population with millions of tons of corn and grain each year. They were also benefiting with the illegal imports of US technology such as IBM computers. They were 20 years behind us in technology and we looked the other way. I heard at the time at the famous IBM 360 computers were programmed in Russian! Another issue was that they needed a billion dollar loan so they could build the largest truck factory in the world to be built by Ford. Their own trucks were junk and they needed good American trucks for their economy. If they started to attack our so called moon landings , we could cause them a lot of problems.

What ive been asking for years and no one has given a solid answer is WHY? Why did they fake the moon landing? Ive seen enough evidence to believe it was a hoax but im still confused as to why?

And 40 odd years later you think they would still be keeping quiet about it?........not a prayer they would!
We've been close to all out nuclear war with Russia, if they had a chance to knock the worlds number one super power of it's pedestal and humiliate it in front of the rest of the world, they would have done it then.....and they would do it now.

Apollo DID land on the moon, and they also FAKED the landing for TV. They had to fake the landing after they discovered someone got to the moon first, and it wasn't humans. Now. back in the day this happened they couldn't just blab that they discovered traces of alien's on the moon, remember the war of the worlds broadcast? way to many nutters to just come out with the truth. Personally i think they did the right thing by staging a landing, but now all these years later i think they should tell everyone the truth. No wonder Neil Armstrong became a virtual recluse after the moon landing, poor guy had to live with what he saw and probably couldn't get to grips with it, God rest his soul.
So they did go to the moon, and they did fake one as well, so, get over it OP
No, i don't have proof of this, its just what i believe.
LUNA: The Alien base on the far side of the Moon. It was seen and filmed by the Apollo astronauts. A base, a mining operation using very large machines, and the very large alien craft described in sighting reports as mother ships exist there. - Milton Cooper
A certain professor, who wished to remain anonymous, was engaged in a discussion with Neil Armstrong during a NASA symposium.
Professor: >>What REALLY happened out there with Apollo 11?>It was incredible, of course we had always known there was a possibility, the fact is, we were warned off! (by the Aliens). There was never any question then of a space station or a moon city.>How do you mean "warned off"?
Armstrong: >>I can't go into details, except to say that their ships were far superior to ours both in size and technology - Boy, were they big! and menacing! No, there is no question of a space station.>But NASA had other missions after Apollo 11?>Naturally - NASA was committed at that time, and couldn't risk panic on Earth. But it really was a quick scoop and back again.Hey, this is ours!
Exactly, if they could prove it they would. There is no way that the general public would believe anything that the soviets said, because it's been accepted as fact and without absolutely undeniable evidence, no one will step forward with the credibility necessary.
