I believed (before watching this video) that America did send men to the Moon but now I'm skeptical. The evidence provided by the former rocket technician was very critical and believable. He mentioned that most rockets didn't even get into orbit, let alone send men to the Moon and get them back to Earth safely. He also has some key observations. He saw that the U.S. Flag was waving when there is NO wind in outer space; he says that (despite the clarity) that there aren't any stars in the lunar sky. And he also says that the lunar lander didn't have a blast crater from its landing and departure from the Moon. This information is very sufficient and makes the "man on the moon" event go from confirmed to plausible!! GREAT OBSERVATIONS AND GREAT VIDEO!!

[DanManzella]

Before viewing this video i had my doubts on if we had really landed on the moon when we said we did, not because of any evidence or facts but just because of i believe our government is arrogant enough that they would try to pull off a stunt like this over us. A lot of people will believe what ever it is you tell them, weather its for the lack of the ability of being able to think for yourself or being so naive that you trust every thing that comes out of every ones mouth. Before watching this movie I'm already stating that what ever is shown in this video i will still believe the moon landing was a hoax.

Now i probably don't know as much as the rest of us about space or as much as i should, so to me the blast crater is insignificant to me even tho the specialist makes it seem important. Agreeing just because of what he said would follow in footsteps with the rest of America. on the other hand i do believe there shouldn't be wind to blow the flag in space. There are many possible explanations that could cause error in there not being stars in the video, after all this is in the 60's. if this actually happen, any video in space should have been good enough. And for what Brian O'leary had to say was also insignificant. that's just hear say and for all i care the man is just using this for attention. On the other hand, the conspiracy that we actually just orbited the earth for 8 days is plausible for me.

The whole movie set part doesn't interest me, It could be area 51, it could not be. it does not matter to me because i already know that it was a movie set somewhere. The actually where isn't important. But being able to hear them talking when a engine should be running doesn't make sense. i agree that the footprints couldn't possibly be there.

i must admit that the photos do seem like they're too good to be taken from a camera strapped to your chest, in other words, to good to be true. Again with the shadows proving their was more light then just the sun being shined upon them it seems that America did not cover their tracks up that well. With NASA just dismissing the remarks of more then one lighting in their photos doesn't go well in their part. they're in to deep and that cant think of any more excuses so they ignore their problems. And Come on with the same scenery, really? Do you take us as idiots? this is kind of insulting now. haha they really didn't think this one through or care enough to double check their edited picture. what's their excuse for the messed up cross hairs? exactly!

America finally started covering up their tracks.The deaths are just Americas fault for not planning ahead, when things got rough they panicked and took innocent lives. What do they care if they have to lose a few lives along the way. they'll do what ever they can to keep themselves in power. To them lives are expendables. 10 freak accidents cant be just a coincidence. But seriously tell me again how they got through the radiation belt or the sun storm? thought so. 250 degrees below zero or 250 degrees above zero, hmm pick your poison but if i know anything about temperature it doesn't seem like your going to be able to stay alive in ether.

This is just like the death of Osama Bin Laden. it was shady proof with outrageous excuses. It's the government manipulating us to think the way they want us to. it's not like Osama or anyone else for that matter would go against our government saying he in fact is still alive because then that could lead to his actually death. but that is another story. So ask yourself this, if NASA and the government wanted to fake landing on the moon, who would stop them? or better yet, who could?

Now for the question, things that made people realize that we actually did not land on the moon that i previously discussed are the fact there was no stars in any pictures or video, the flag was waving in a place made out to be space when space has no wind, and that shadows were cast out as if there was more then just the sun for light. i honestly believe there is multiple sufficient evidence to support one of the most controversial conspiracies of all time.

[ScubaSteve.Smith]

Before watching the video i believed that we did land on the moon. The video had some real key points and evidence about saying we didn't. They discussed that the flag that was to be on the moon was moving, but yet there is no wind. Also he mentioned that most rockets didn't even get into orbit, let alone send men to the Moon and get them back to Earth safely. He says that the lunar lander didn't have a blast crater from its landing and departure from the Moon. To me, that sounds very fishy and should investigated in depth more. This information is very sufficient and interesting. It gets your brain thinking hard and gives you a new perception of "man on the moon".

Arock I completely agree with you, but if you think about the flag waving. Yes there is no wind, but there is also no gravity. So if there is no gravity, then the flag might just be floating and not waving as if there was wind.

[KristinaRider]

I had never heard of this conspiracy until now. I always thought it happened. One thing I saw that could of been a hint that it was a hoax was the flag moving like there was wind, but there isnt any wind on the moon. Also, they mention the "footage from the Moon" could of been filmed in Area 51. This makes so much sense because as mentioned in the video, the buildings resembled sound studios, and the land around it has craters resembling the Moon. They also Mention the video quality and how grainy it was. NASA said that the quality was bad because of technology from the 1960's. I think that since the photo camera took good quality pictures, the video camera would of had good quality. NASA may of changed the quality from good to grainy. I'm now on the fence on whether or not it actually happened. I've always learned that it did happen. All the errors that Bill Casing pointed out makes complete sense. I think that if NASA did fake it, they did it to outshow Russia.

I agree with you. I also believed that it did happen because it's in the history books. I think one way this should be investigated is if they interviewed the astronaut, but they all may be dead.

What you said makes sense. I agree that the government would do something like this to trick the citizens. I dont think the government would actually spend the money to send people to the Moon, but im on the fence about the whole thing now.

That would be a good idea to question the astronauts, but if all this is fake, then NASA has prepared them for any questions you might throw them. As you can see, NASA wanted to be on the safe side and have an explanation for everything.

[kurt.ragan]

After watching the video, I think that the three most supportive points made are, the exact same terrain, the lighting, and the markings in the photos being behind the "props".

When looking at the footage from the moon, theorist picked up on the fact that videos captured on different days and miles apart have the exact same terrain and the camera is in the exact same spot.

Also, while observing the videos they noticed that the shadows were pointed in different directions and pictures taken with lighting in the background came out clear and perfect. This is a great example because on the moon there is only one source of light, and that is the sun. With shadows facing different ways and clear pictures it shows that there is possibly more than one light source, leading the theorist to believe that it was staged.

Lastly, when looking at the pictures, the crosses that were supposed to be in the whole image where behind some of the equipment in the pictures, like the flag. This is a good point because that means that pictures could have been taken and then edited if they wanted to be.

After looking back at all the evidence for the landing on the moon being fake, it is very possible that NASA has tricked us all into believing that we have landed on the moon.

i agree that one of the reasons they did was to out show Russia because to them they thought by doing that they were winning the cold war. also you make a good point that if the pictures are good quality then the video should also be good quality.

First of all i'd like to complement you on your clever title. Secondly with light remember that in the shadows it wasn't complete dark like it should have been. thirdly id like to say that i feel were both looking at this in a similar direction.

i totally stand behing Dan's argument. The first video gives some key points on how we didnt land on the moon. If they are correct, this will be the biggest hoax of all time.

Kurt has some great points to defend his side. some of them i didnt even pay attention to. great points Kurt!

[ssaraheadess]

After watching the video, I'm still thinking we landed on the moon.
One of the things that confused me about the first guy's theory was that we got into to space, orbited the Earth for eight days, and then came back. We had spent so much time even trying to get off the ground, and we finally succeeded. If we were planning to go to the moon, why wouldn't we at least try to make it to the moon?
Also, with the shadows, in my head it semi makes sense that they would be in different directions. Since there's no atmosphere, the light might bend in different ways. I'm no light/shadow expert, that's just how I'm thinking.
The Apollo 1 story made no sense as to why that would be a reason we didn't make it to the moon. There were 10 more until Apollo 11. Scientists would have adjusted the system until it was running correctly. It seemed more like a sob story than anything.
What really makes me think that the conspiracy theory is false is that none of the sources have ever said they went to the moon. How would they possibly know if their ideas are true? All they have are just their own personal beliefs and so called "evidence." If you bring personal belief and the slightest proof it might have happened into it, you can exaggerate everything.
While most of the video makes sense, there's just not enough information to change my mind.

Nice title, but you point out key points i didn't think of. Based off of those ideas and that there was no crater from the blast off, i think the moon could really be made of cheese.

[Ben Johnson]

I believed (before watching this video) that America did send men to the Moon but now I'm skeptical. The evidence provided by the former rocket technician was very critical and believable. He mentioned that most rockets didn't even get into orbit, let alone send men to the Moon and get them back to Earth safely. He also has some key observations. He saw that the U.S. Flag was waving when there is NO wind in outer space; he says that (despite the clarity) that there aren't any stars in the lunar sky. And he also says that the lunar lander didn't have a blast crater from its landing and departure from the Moon. This information is very sufficient and makes the "man on the moon" event go from confirmed to plausible!! GREAT OBSERVATIONS AND GREAT VIDEO!!

Aaron this is exactly what i believe too, from the blast crater to the flag, to other key points it also makes me believe that we have not made it to the moon yet, whether the government says so or not.

[Ben Johnson]

Before watching the series of films I believed that man had accually landed on the moon, but during the films many interesting facts were pointed out, one being that there is no air in space so how could the flag be flying, although there has been some speculation that it was an optical illusion and the flag was not accually moving. Another key point was the blast crater, if the lander had taken off there should have been a crater where it had taken off. One more key point was there being shadows i different areas of the pictures yet the sun is the only light source on the moon which means the landing could have been staged. Even if the government is lieing or not, im still kind of borderline on whether man has accually landed on the moon. I'm going to wait until there is more sufficient evidence before i decide which side i'm on because, it could go both ways

[chrisprincivalli]

To me there is no possible way that we landed on the moon .1! the radiation from the sun would of killed the asternuts ( i dont know how to spell) before they would have ever returned. Another fact backing my opinion up is that there is no wind in space and guess what theres wind in the pictures! nasa really shot themselves in the foot with that. Also the few astronauts that died randomly from errors or malfunctions of the rocket ship were really killed by nasa or our government. They were probably going try to black mail nasa saying if you dont give us X amount of money we will tell the world this is all a big hoax to win the cold war and say we are the better country than soviet Russia. So Nasa said Ha! nice try and instead of paying them out they quietly killed all the rogue astronauts. Another proof of this huge government scandal is the photography. The crosshairs are edited in there! For the film clips all they did was slow it down! ( Slow motion!) Slow motion came out in 1957 and was used in the japanese movie 7th samurai. We " landed on the moon" in 1969 so the technology was advanced enough to make our moon landrover seem like it was in space.
We did not go to the moon, but thats ok as a country it was our number 1 goal to beat the russians and we did which shaped this country into a huge superpower. The goal wasnt to land on the moon it was to come out on top no matter what the cost!

[Cassandra Carpenter]

I still believe that he did land on the moon. Though they had good therioes on how we didn't land on the moon, they still didn't have alot of truth in what they were saying. Many can have different anwsers on why the flag was waving, or if it even was waving at all and just moving. Many can ask why someone would even have a reason to put so much work in to proving that someone else is wrong and questiong all the hard work they did. Some people just don't want to except the fact that we are the first to land on the moon and we didn't FAKE it.We worked hard and long until we reached our goal. Until they have real facts and truth to what they are saying,then thats when i'll believe that we didn't land on the moon. In my opinion we did land on the moon.!@>

[BriannaMoore]

My views on if we landed on the moon or not is BEYOND skeptical at this point. It was stated in the first link that the flag is moving where there is no atmosphere. The first bit of actual evidence brought up is the lack of stars in the pictures taken by the Apollo astronauts from the surface of the Moon. Without air, the sky is black, so where are the stars? but stars are they are just too faint to be seen! I feel as though you just cant say we DID NOT land on the moon because where could the space shuttle have gone?? If there was no astronauts on the shuttle what happened to the shuttle? Then we are trying to base our evidence on pictures that ANYONE could edit...seems too skeptical for me. For every reason as to why we didn't make it to the moon and all the evidence to support it, there is a logical explanation for it. So I really do not know which side I am on, I guess more evidence will have to be provided or I will have to go myself

[BriannaMoore]

I still believe that he did land on the moon. Though they had good theories on how we didn't land on the moon, they still didn't have alot of truth in what they were saying.

I understand but I also feel like America rushed/faked all of this because we WANTED to be the first in practically EVERYTHING!

Many things according to that video make people believe that we did not land on the moon. Three things that made people not believe was the wind or the waving of the flag when there is no wind or atmosphere on the moon. Second was the cross hairs in the photos. They were only suppose to be at the top and the bottom of the pictures, but in some they were covered up by people, objects, or just showing up in the background. Last, there was shadows going in all different directions when there is only one light source on the moon, and that is the sun. If the sun was the only light source why were the shadows in the pictures intersecting. I think there is enough evidence to start a conspiracy, because I always thought we landed on the moon, and that video got me interested and thinking. I am gonna need a little more information though. I am on the fence, wondering if we did, or didn't.

I kind of had the feeling that we never landed on the moon, its just one of the things I never came to believe. These videos showed great proof, and I have no reason to doubt them. If there's no air on the moon, how is the flag waving? How could you hear the astronauts if they were landing, rockets make loud sounds right? Another reason is that NASA had a difficult time getting the rockets off the ground, all of a sudden, we have "men on the moon". I honestly I think they wanted to beat the Soviets because of the whol cold war, just like typical Americans, we always try and win. In my mind, we did not land on the moon.
