Was the Moon Landing Faked?
Conspiracy theorists argue that NASA's Apollo moon missions were faked, they present some interesting information and theories which are explored here. Examine the evidence and decide for yourself, was the moon landing a hoax?
1960's Technology
Was the technology of the late sixties sufficient to deliver men to the moon? At that time digital computers were in their infancy, huge noisy machines that filled rooms with their bulk. The Apollo module would have had less computing power then todays pocket calculators. With little room for error in the millions of calculations needed for a manned moon mission the computers of the day seem questionably adequate.Battery technology was also much bulkier and less efficient then what we now have. Today a laptop battery provides about 4 hours of use between charges, a cell phone might last a couple of days if not used too much. The Apollo space craft would have required a weeks worth of continuous power to vital systems such as communications, navigation, heating and cooling from batteries that would be adding precious weight to the craft.
Timeframe
It was less then ten years after president Kennedy's monumental announcement in 1961 of his desire to put a man on the moon that this amazing mission was supposedly accomplished on July 20, 1969 by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin during the Apollo 11 mission. Five other Apollo missions also landed astronauts on the Moon, the last one in 1972. These six Apollo spaceflights are the only times humans have ever landed on another world.It has been 35 years since we last went to the moon, why have we not returned? A NASA estimate in the 1980s projected that it would take up to 20 years to put a man on the moon again.

Photographic Anomalies
Although NASA say the Apollo astronauts did not bring artificial lighting to the moon, analysis of the numerous photos and video footage taken on the moon indicate multiple light sources. These anomalies can be seen in various shadows and highlights that are inconsistent with each other as well as the natural lighting that would be available on the moon.For example, in this photo of Astronaut Ed "Buzz" Aldrin Jr. coming down the ladder on the Lunar Module Eagle. The picture was supposedly taken on July 20, 1969 by Neil Armstrong, who, moments before, had just become the first man to step on the Moon. If you observe the shadows on the ground it is clear that the Buzz and the Lunar Module itself should both be in shadow, however they are clearly illuminated. Is the proof in these details?

The Van Allen Radiation Belt
The Van Allen Radiation Belt is a torus of energetic charged particles (plasma) around Earth, held in place by Earth's magnetic field. Energetic electrons form two distinct radiation belts, while protons form a single belt. Within these belts are particles capable of penetrating about 1 g/cm2 [2] of shielding (e.g., 1 millimeter of lead, no where near what the light weight apollo capsules had). Humans, solar cells, integrated circuits, and sensors can be damaged by radiation and even modern space shuttle flights have not approached these areas. The apollo missions supposedly ventured through these highly radiated areas both traveling to the moon and returning without effect. Where's the Blast Crater?
How those Astro-nots ever managed any sort of communication with the noise is also a mystery.
This is a demo of a 7500 LB thrust Lox/Methane rocket engine so you can see the raw power and resulting clouds of dust.

Eye Burning UV Rays?
No problem!
Mattingly was sure the "disappearance" of the stars was due to his **gold visor**. The doctors had advised him to leave the reflector down, LEST HE BE EXPOSED TO HARMFUL RADIATION, but he couldn't stand it anymore. He blinked the visor open just long enough for the universe to show a familiar face: There they are! " A Man On The Moon - P.492 A.Chaikin
From Dr Phil Plaits very own review of Deep Impact at BadAstronomy dot com. "Bad: One of the away team astronauts is ***blinded by the sunlight***. Good: ***I suspect this may not be totally inaccurate;*** I am not sure how close The Comet was to the Sun when this happened. I would expect NASA to give them sun visors, however, or build in a UV block to the visor. They were on the dark side of The Comet, after all, so they would not have had their sun visors down, and he was admittedly too panicked to think of snapping it down. Still, a moment's exposure should not have so badly burned his face. That was added for drama."
This video is a tribute to Apollo 17's Jack 'Crazy Horse' Schmitt who wasn't the slightest bit concerned about potenial damage to his eyes or burns to his face ...maybe because he wasn't on the Moon?
Moon Hoax- The Asstro-not Don't Give A F*** About UV!
'Snow blindness (Niphablepsia) is a painful condition, typically a keratitis, caused by exposure of unprotected eyes to the ultraviolet (UV) rays in bright sunlight reflected from snow or ice. This is especially a problem in polar regions and at high altitudes, as with every thousand feet (approximately 305 meters) increase in elevation, the intensity of UV rays goes up five percent. The problem is also related to the condition arc eye sometimes experienced by welders. Snow blindness is akin to a sunburn of the cornea and conjunctiva, and may not be noticed for several hours from exposure. Symptoms can run the gamut from eyes being bloodshot and teary to increased pain, feeling gritty and swelling shut. In very severe cases, snow blindness can cause permanent vision loss.'- wikipedia Mattingly was sure the "disappearance" of the stars was due to his **gold visor**.

The Footage We Weren't Meant to See
Neil Armstrong by the Window on Apollo 11
Short clip from the documentary "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Moon" by Bart Siebrel. So what is Freemason Neil Armstrong exactly doing at that window ?? Also watch SECRET SPACE on google video or here on youtube in parts- really delves into the occultism of NASA and offers more irrefutable proofs of the staged Apollo missions that help peel away some more of 'truths protective layers'... Also check out William Cooper's research on the 'moon landings'[LOL]... http://www.hourofthetime.com/majestyt.htm All names, missions, landing sites, and events in the Apollo Space Program echoed the occult metaphors, rituals, and symbology of the Illuminati's secret religion. The most transparent was the faked explosion on the spacecraft Apollo 13, named "Aquarius" (new age) at 1:13 (1313 military time) on April 13, 1970 which was the metaphor for the initiation ceremony involving the death (explosion), placement in the coffin (period of uncertainty of their survival), communion with the spiritual world and the imparting of esoteric knowledge to the candidate (orbit and observation of the moon without physical contact), rebirth of the initiate (solution of problem and repairs), and the raising up (of the Phoenix, the new age of Aquarius) by the grip of the lions paw (reentry and recovery of Apollo 13). 13 is the number of death and rebirth, death and reincarnation, sacrifice, the Phoenix, the Christ (perfected soul imprisoned in matter), and the transition from the old to the new. Another revelation to those who understand the symbolic language of the Illuminati is the hidden meaning of the names of the Space Shuttles, `A Colombian Enterprise to Endeavor for the Discovery of Atlantis... and all Challengers shall be destroyed.` - William Cooper

Why Fake the Moon Landings?
At the height of the cold war in the sixties much was to be gained in winning the space race. The Space Race was a competition of space exploration between the United States and Soviet Union, which lasted roughly from 1957 to 1975. It involved the efforts to explore outer space with artificial satellites, to send humans into space, and to land people on the Moon.Though its roots lie in early rocket technology and in the international tensions following World War II, the Space Race effectively began after the Soviet launch of Sputnik 1 on 4 October 1957. The term originated as an analogy to the arms race. The Space Race became an important part of the cultural, technological, and ideological rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Space technology became a particularly important arena in this conflict, both because of its potential military applications and due to the morale-boosting psychological benefits.
It is interesting to note that when the Soviets finally developed the tracking technology to observe American missions to the moon, the program was terminated.
Funny Moon Hoax Video
Just for laughs.
Proof of moon landing hoax!
Intended as a joke!! By putting a funny side on the seriousness of the moon landing ......If you believe Apollo was a fake, can use this as a sample of what you think could have been done. If you're an Apollo believer, this video only serves to demonstrate no such actual evidence exists............................Reachd 1million views on 17/10/2008--22:42(GMT)

Do you think the moon landing was faked?

I've always wondered if the moon landing was faked.
I think they faked it as a threat.
If they can build a rocket that will get a man to the moon they they have the technology to launch nukes at the russians.
Here's a question for you if you like moon mysteries.
Does the moon exist only when someone is looking at it?

I watched the landing on TV with my toddlers who never forgot it as they grew up. I refuse to believe that id never happened, Are we getting that cynical?

I saw a Documentary on this, it was proved beyond doubt that the landing DID take place. Definately no hoax, apart from which taking into consideration the amount of personel involved... someone would have talked. Blessed by a Squid Angel :)
