July 20th 1969: “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." [1] The apparent flag waving on the "atmosphere free" moon is discussed below.

Why the Moon landing could never have been a Hoax?

43 years later there are still some who won’t believe mankind’s greatest scientific achievement of the last 50 years. I can still remember that magical, awe inspiring remarkable moment in history when Neil Armstrong planted the American flag in the lunar soil on the moon.

James Longuski, Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics Engineering at Purdue University, dismissed the idea that man didn't land on the moon.

To suppose a conspiracy to fake a moon landing because the United States was technologically incapable of going to the moon, that numerous photos and films have been doctored, that a trip to the moon would have resulted in radiation killing the astronauts and that numerous key members of the Apollo program died under suspicious circumstances considering it would have to be a ten-year conspiracy involving more than 400,000 people who worked on the Apollo project including the 12 men who walked on the Moon, the six who flew with them as Command Module pilots, and another six astronauts who orbited the Moon is absurd in the highest degree.[2]

Hundreds of thousands of people—including astronauts, scientists, engineers, technicians, and skilled laborers—would have had to keep the secret. Longuski argues that it would have been much easier to really land on the Moon than to generate such a huge conspiracy to fake the landings. Penn Jillette made note of this in the "Conspiracy Theories" episode of his contrarian television show, Penn & Teller: ********!, in 2005. He said that keeping that many people from talking about the Hoax would be impossible.

And as far as keeping people quiet, there were only eleven Apollo astronauts who died within the twenty-two month period before the first manned Apollo fight. And seven of them had non-space related fatal accidents within a year of one another. Yes that seems a bit odd, but the odds of that happening are 1 in 10,000. We don’t know why James B. Irwin, Don F. Eisele, Stewart Allen Roosa and Jack Swigert all resigned from the program but there must have been a good reason.

Virgil Grissom, the NASA astronaut who hung a lemon on his Apollo capsule and told his wife Betty: "If there is ever a serious accident in the space program, it's likely to be me." Soon after, he and his two co-pilots were dead, burnt to death during a test run when their capsule, pumped full of high pressure pure oxygen, exploded. Some openly questioned NASA’s knowledge of chemistry. Even a high school chemistry student knows that high-pressure oxygen is extremely explosive.

Conspiracy nuts will agree that the Apollo rockets were real, took off and sent the astronauts into orbit, but then they say that fabricating a rocket and getting it into orbit for several days kept the 400,000 busy working on the project. Then they argue that only a few hundred were involved in the big picture of the Hoax. The only thing real about the Apollo missions were the liftoffs. Once the capsule was aloft, there was only one source of video and photo information – and that was NASA. Only NASA was communicating with the astronauts. Most people at NASA would never have considered they were involved in something that was being hoaxed – they would never question what was on the screen in front of them.

The world tuned in to watch the moon landing and what looked like two blurred white ghosts throwing rocks and dust. Part of the reason for the low quality was that, inexplicably, NASA provided no direct link up. Networks actually had to film man's greatest achievement from a TV screen in Houston, making it impossible for anyone to examine it.

To date the only persons who had a link to the U.S. government, NASA and the Apollo program that openly question the Moon landings are Bill Kaysing, John Mauldin and Wernher von Braun.

Kaysing was the former head of technical publications for Rocketdyne in 1959. A Russian study supports Kaysing’s claim that there is an area of very high radiation called the Van Allen Belts 272 miles from Earth. To pass through the belts would require the astronauts to be clothed in 4 feet of lead in order to avoid instant death. John Mauldin, a NASA physicist, disagrees and says they need 6.56168.

Both of them question how the astronauts were able to walk on the moon in such flimsy space suits and how they survived in the Lunar Landers on the moon's surface when, according to NASA, the walls of the landers were about the thickness of heavy duty aluminum foil. I am sure NASA has an adequate explanation, but so far I haven’t seen it.

The pressure inside a space suit was greater than inside a football. The astronauts should have been puffed out like the Michelin Man, but were seen freely bending their joints.

NASA's response to these wild claims: “The Moon landings happened and the pictures are real.” However on June 24, 2005 a NASA spokesperson, when asked about the return to the moon as preparation for even longer journeys to Mars and beyond, admitted NASA needed to find a good shield because of:

“a potential showstopper: radiation. Space beyond low-Earth orbit is awash with intense radiation from the Sun and from deep galactic sources such as supernovas … "

Why doesn't NASA just use their sixties technology? www.science.nasa.gov

Julian Scheer, the NASA public affairs officer, made fun of conspiracy theorists at a private party with 200 guests. He showed a clip from a film made on a movie set with footage of astronauts apparently on a lunar landscape, identical to what NASA claimed was the real lunar landscape.

"The purpose of this film," Scheer told the enthralled group, "is to indicate that you really can fake things on the ground, almost to the point of deception."

He then invited his audience to "Come to your own decision about whether or not man actually did walk on the Moon."

Outer Space is Awash with Deadly Radiation

Outer space is awash with deadly radiation that emanates from solar flares firing out from the sun. Astronauts orbiting earth in near space, like those who recently fixed the Hubble telescope, are protected from the radiation in the Van Allen belt because they don’t get near the belt. You might wonder why not one Apollo astronaut ever contracted cancer after traveling 240,000 miles through the belts and encountering, according to astronomical data, no less than 1,485 such flares – not even a cancer among the Apollo 16 crew who were on their way to the Moon when a big solar flare started, causing ultra high levels of cosmic radiation.

Wernher von Braun, the “Father of Rocket Science,” is quoted in 1953:

“It is commonly believed that man will fly directly from the earth to the moon, but to do this, we would require a vehicle of such gigantic proportions that it would prove an economic impossibility. It would have to develop sufficient speed to penetrate the atmosphere and overcome the earth’s gravity and, having traveled all the way to the moon, it must still have enough fuel to land safely and make the return trip to earth. Furthermore, in order to give the expedition a margin of safety, we would not use one ship alone, but a minimum of three ... each rocket ship would be taller than New York’s Empire State Building [almost ¼ mile high] and weigh about ten times the tonnage of the Queen Mary, or some 800,000 tons.” Conquest of the Moon by Wernher von Braun, published in 1953 by Viking Press

Conspiracy nuts try and use Wernher’s quote to show it was impossible to land a man on the moon, but they ignore that his statement was in 1953. Eight years later he told the Vice President of the United States that "We have a sporting chance of beating the Soviets to a soft-landing of a radio transmitter station on the Moon." [3]

That Mountain Dew stealing alien soab better get off my moon!

no way

we're building a space camp for illegal aliens there :)

the real Illegal aliens... not the earth bound ones...

Just proving that idiocy isn't confined to a generation.

you saw him in the background, right?
