I think your alone in that, that you actually believe in our U.S. government, they screw us over so bad, do one thing and tell us another, and thats just the stuff that they couldn't properly cover up in the first place. Everything else none of us actually know about. And they DO intentionally decieve us. So with that said, I will say one thing. You're naive.

I just wanted to hear some ideas:

The international space station doesnt seem like a good place for stellar warfare, or even training for the new mary of fighter-astronauts trained for taking out enemy satellites or fellow floating enemies. The obvious because its international.

THe space station is for science. In my view and from what Ive heard they're repeating allot of what they did with SKYLAB. So would an international lunar base be better? WHy did exploration and research just abruptly stop?

A moon base wasn't built because it is already hard enough to build a space station.
Why should you go to Alaska to do some experiments when you can do them somewhere near home?
Furthermore most experiments require not only low gravity but very low gravity to work. What most people tend to forget is that the moon does have a gravity field even if the accelaration is only one sixth that of earth.
The russians had a very neat moon programme but dicontinued manned "deep":D space exploration in favour of building space stations in orbit.
If the US hadn't really landed on the moon the russians would have known and would never have stopped their own programme.

oops. . .sorry wrong button

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...... I wanna change my vote........ I said probably but maybe no....... I only say that cause I myself can't prove they did. I believe they did, though.

Im not sure if it happened or not, but if it didn't they are pretty good liers and I think that we should just leave it alone... it's like a fairy tale story for that generation when they heard it on the radio, we don't need to take it away from them :).

It is true why go to all the hipe and work not to go there? But some people think we didn't go to the moon and elvis is still alive.

umm is this a trick question? :) yea, i think we went to the moon.

i thought this link was pretty good too.

wouldn't you want to go to a place made of cheese?

I don't think man was on the moon... but what the hell do I know?... I don't even belive in god... [cough]... excuse me, God

I need the MAYBE option with wierd space music playing in the backround... :lol: ...........................dUn DUn dUn..........m a y b e . .
haha.

3 things that make me think we didn't land there:
-the radiation zone you'd have to fly through between the earth and the moon would have definitely caused terminal illness' to the astronauts, yet none have developed
-why hasn't anyone been back?? Doesn't fit human nature to dicover something and than touch the surface of exploration and than just quit
-that lunar module looks like something my little brother would build! It has gold foil on it!!! Our modern shuttle has 'troubles' entering earth atmosphere due to heat /friction.....you think that little tin can of a module could handle that ok?? The thing had the aerodynamics of a barn door, which would make flying it off the moon surface near impossible....and than being able to handle re-entry into earth.....I find that very unlikely....

...if there is speculation why doesn't nasa aim the hubble telescope at the moon and show us proof to deny these false claims??? That thing could zoom right in and show the flag!

...with the times as they were, AMerican film was really in developing stages and with the cold war, the US pulled some pretty crazy stuff.....I think this was a way of showing superiority to the world.....

The simple fact is....you can actually see the lander base thru a high powered telescope....and Scientists have done so.....Kinda hard to fake.

In anticipation of silly rebuttals....I am now looking for the Pics

I'm certian the moon landing was real.

Actually tecoyah they recently took some pictures of the moon using the hubble telescope and the resolution was not good enough to see the lander. Having said that I do not think the moon landings were fake.

I believe that the moon landing actually happened, on the moon.

I also believe that some photos of the event were staged in a studio, here on Planet Earth.

Neither of these views contradict the other.

Suppose you'd spent all this money and risked human life in the process, the people you're trying to impress want more than some crappy black & white, out of focus video of the event.

Cyn, I don't believe Hubble did more than the rex pics. The pic with the buggy was from '72. Hubble can't resolve with sub-20ft detail from Earth Orbit, can it?

Hey, here's a great answer from slashdot.Anyway there's supposed to be an EU satellite going into moon orbit next year. Part of their plan is to check out old landing zones. We should hear the end of this stuff soon.

Now, just imagine the swarming theories should the EU sat suffer any failure. :)

Cyrnel those EU governments are all left wing nuts, if you can't trust the God fearing government of the USA you can't trust those communists either ;)
And if it does fail, then the USA (or some higher secretive power) sabotaged it.
So either way the conspiracy theories can continue.
/sarcasm

Yup...I was wrong...I think it was the lazer reflectors they left I was reading about....oh well.

I voted NO! I just don't believe it. I would like confirmation from the Russians. The Japenese space craft will hopefully revel what really happened and if we actually landed ont he moon. There will always be skeptics and I simply don't believe we went there. If I can see stars from the earth why can't I see them from the Moon? that gets me every time. Maybe I am a stupid little boy but when you can take me to the moon or take my camera with 35mm Filma nd bring it back to me and let me develop them. Until then I may never beliee we landed on the moon.

There's some horrific science floating around.

Of course humans have walked on the moon.
