Given that Japan, India and China all have their own space programmes and are planning to send manned missions to the Moon, isn't it about time NASA finally put thier hands up and admitted they faked it?


Come on it makes a change from religion and gun control. :twisted:

If other countrys can now do it, why couldn't we have already been there? Do you believe we haven't?

No other country has been able to do it to date. America claims to have been there 6 times. I believe (not certain about the year without looking it up) that they plan to go back by 2020. If they've already done it 6 times in the past, why the wait? The thing that makes me most doubt it is the Van Allen belt, if it didn't kill the astronauts, it would certainly have messed up any film they had on board. Whether they went or not, I'm not 100% sure, but I have no doubt at all that the photos were faked.

Do you really think that the government of the United States is organized enough to organize a conspirecy that massive that also involved the media??? :shock: :shock: You have obviously never been into a DMV to apply for a driver's license!! :lol: :lol:

Well you eliminated religion, gun control and now NASA, what's next?

It was at the height of the cold war. The American people wanted to believe it. That's half the battle.

In 1969 we had the technology to get to the moon and back.

In the simplest possible terms, we did NOT have the technology to fake it.

Good point!!!!....there were literally over 100,000 people that worked on the Apollo program at some juncture...

As Ben Franklin said "3 people can keep a secret if 2 of them are dead"

In 1969 America did NOT have the technology to send a man safely through the Van Allen belt. Today no country has the technology to send a man safely through the Van Allen belt. It is remotely possible but very improbable. The odds against sending 18 people through without a single case of radiation sickness between them, is verging on the impossible. As for not having the technology to fake it, it wasn't faked particularly well. In the 60s and 70s, very few people questioned anything the government told them. Those who did were college students and no-one took them seriously. Now those students have become doctors and professors and are still asking the same questions.

The lenses of the cameras used had been etched with 4 cross hairs as reference points. The first photo clearly shows that the apparatus had been super-imposed over the original shot.

In the second photo, the only light source was supposed to be the Sun, but clearly there has been a fill in light used to illuminate the lower portin of the body which should have been in shadow.

There are far too many other examples to list them all here. As I said before; the American people at the time wanted to believe and so didn't ask too many questions as it would have appeared unpatriotic. When Japan, India or China do manage to get there and find that the landing modules and lunar buggies that were supposedly left behind, aren't there, Nasa will have a lot of explaining to do. Far better to come clean now.
