I'm torn I don't know .. I wanna say yes because that's a crazy historical accomplishment for the U.S. but part of me thinks 'bullshit' .. they were able to do the mission on the first try and everything went perfectly .. it's possible but wow that's an incredible accomplishment if true .. and what's with the whole thing about losing a bunch of footage .. losing a bunch of things that you would think would be closely guarded since it's such an epic, historical happening .. but then of course you have all the other missions .. those all can't be fake as well right ? .. I don't know

A whole bunch of things went wrong. Neil Armstrong only had one practice run with the lunar module and had to eject before it crashed. When they landed he only had a few seconds left of fuel and they came very close to crashing into the surface. Then there's the Apollo 13 mission that had to abort a moon landing and barely got the astronauts home alive.

Nixon had 2 speeches drawn up just in case the Apollo 11 mission failed.

Didn't they leave laser reflector on the moon? That seems like proof to me.

Hoaxing would have been more difficult than actually landing.

I mean you guys are truly retarded.

He's right though. It would take such massive amounts of international secrecy for that to have been fake.

The moon landing conspiracy is a giant distraction for people who would otherwise come dangerously close to revealing other conspiracy theories which are important and probable like JFK and 9/11.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Doesn’t surprise me that a guy who puts his faith in an archaic cult doesn’t believe it’s real

I didn't state whether I think it happened or not, I just believe it's idiotic to think that it is harder to fake it here than it is to actually do it.


I don't have a firm opinion on if it happened or not. The arguments for both make sense to me, therefore I won't speak on the matter as I don't have a true 100% stance on the matter.


On record, 12 people allegedly have set foot on the moon:


Neil Armstrong – Apollo 11, 1969
Buzz Aldrin – Apollo 11, 1969
Pete Conrad – Apollo 12, 1969
Alan Bean – Apollo 12, 1969
Alan Shepard, Apollo 14, 1971
Edgar Mitchell – Apollo 14, 1971
David Scott – Apollo 15, 1971
James Irwin – Apollo 15, 1971
John Young – Apollo 16, 1972
Charles Duke – Apollo 16, 1972
Gene Cernan – Apollo 17, 1972
Harrison Schmitt – Apollo 17, 1972

While I can see how that could be very difficult to do, that is something that happens a lot more prevalently than humans landing on the moon. The quantity alone isn't my argument, it's part of it...but once you factor in all the failed missions, the science behind everything...I stand on the argument that it is harder to do than it is to fake. Especially back then.

They didn't do the mission on the first try. There's a reason it's called. There were literally dozens of previous missions gradually testing the rockets and crews capabilities, including Apollo 1...when they were resting before Apollo 1, a fire broke out in the command module and it killed hte whole crew burning them alive. NASA didn't run the Apollo 2 mission for a full year and half because of this because they had to redesign the cockpit and safety procedures.

Here's a Wiki to all the Apollo and Saturn missions, there's so many missions they had to be done correctly before Apollo 11.
