Poll: Did we really land men on the moon 50 years ago?

[Shogon]

United States, Russia, Japan, French Guiana, China, and India have all landed crafts on the moon.

Israel also recently had a messy/bad crash landing, which leaked Genetically modified aquatic animals which can survive in very strange environments. (Sea Bears)

Please tell me this post isn't serious, lol.

The sad truth for most people who disbelieve that the USa or other nations have done, is that what that statement really means.....

... IS THAT THEY KNOW THEIR OWN PEOPLE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EVEN COME CLOSE TO DOING IT FOR HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

When someone disbelieves landing on the moon, introduce them to the story of post-WW2 kidnapping of nazi Rocket Scientists, by both the USA & Russia... especially the story of the grandfather of NASA, Werner Von Braun. It will open their eyes to just how much more intelligent many men on earth are, due to the natural selection for delayed gratification and creative intelligence, that took place ... due to the pressures of harsh winters for millenia.

Vote and explain if you wish

We placed a mirror on the moon so that we can measure the distance to the moon from any given point on earth. Anyone can go to almost any university with a halfway decent astronomy program and reflect a laser off of that mirror.

Correct.

USA & Russia (whose space programs are BOTH largely run by kidnapped ex-nazi rocket scientists) have both successfully installed retroreflectors on the moon for pinging. Israel has attempted to but their craft crashed far too wildly to make use of anything on board in anything close to a useful scientific way.

Couldn’t that have been done with an unmanned mission?

They certainly could have been carried out by robotic missions. The Russians have a retro-reflector on one of their rovers left on the moon. Here's the problem, there is no robot or rover attached to or near the retro-reflector placed in 1969. We'd have to reason that a rocket "dropped" it off. The rocket certainly didn't land, because then the obvious question is "where is that rocket." I can't begin to explain how difficult it would be to drop off a mirror on the surface of the moon via rocket.

Oh, and then there are the footprints around the reflector.

I can give a fck less what happened or happens on the moon. Take that funding and invest it into education or something else more useful. What we gonna do with the information we have? It won't do much. It'll tell us perhaps more about our own planet but.. I.. Really don't care lol

Faking it is obviously much easier than actually doing it. Keeping it a secret for 50 years is the hard part. How many people would have to be involved in a hoax of that magnitude. Dozens? Hundreds? And yet nobody has come forth with compelling evidence that they took part in faking the moon landings. As more people become involved, it becomes exponentially harder to keep something like that a secret.

Say you were one of the few in the know and wanted to forsake your comfortable lifestyle to tell the truth....What do you do? Do you contact news agencies and tell them you have inside info about how the moon landing was faked? They will think it

Their own people? Who's on own people? Their families? A lot of these doubters are American.
