Yes, we landed on the moon, but it’s been almost 45 years since we’ve been back there. Heck, it’s been almost 45 years since we went beyond low Earth orbit.
And when I say “we,” I mean the United States. Only 12 humans have ever walked on the surface of the moon, all of them men, and all of them American. The last two to be there were Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt. That was in December of 1972, of the Apollo 17 mission.
It’s easy to understand why people would be skeptical. Skeptics often point to the motive for wanting to fake the whole thing. The race to the moon was part of the Space Race, during a particularly tense time during the Cold War. The United States and Soviet Union were battling it out to get there first. Skeptics say the United States would have wanted to fake it to show they won the Space Race even if they knew it actually wasn’t possible to go. The Soviet Union had epically failed to ever get even near the moon, so they argue it seems suspicious that the United States able to land men safely on the moon six times in 3 and a half years, yet never do so since. Was this just a publicity stunt, faked in order to strongly discourage the Soviet Union and give the United States a huge advantage in the Cold War while saving its lots of money?
But how could this hoax be pulled off? Skeptics argue the technology did exist to recreate a fake mooning landing in a film studio. Sure, they argue the astronauts really did take off into space, but they likely just orbited the earth for several days before landing back on Earth, while faked footage was distributed to the masses.
But what evidence do that have of the moon landings being faked? For the rest of this video, I will first give you evidence that creates doubt, then give you NASA’s response, and then give you my conclusion.
The first thing that causes doubt is the footage showing the American flag on the moon waving. Skeptics say the flag waving shows the presence of wind, which should be impossible on the moon because it doesn’t have much of an atmosphere and is surrounded by a vacuum. NASA insists that the flag moved due to astronaut Buzz Aldrin twisting the flagpole, causing it to move like that. Apparently the astronauts also accidentally bent the horizontal rods that were supposed to hold the flag outward.
The next evidence that causes doubt is the fact that there were no stars in any of the footage or photographs taken by NASA on the moon. Skeptics say stars were left out because astronomers would have been able to use them to determine whether the photos were taken from the Earth or Moon. NASA, as well as many many others, argue that of course you wouldn’t be able to see the stars because the moon’s surface is so bright. It’s the same reason why you can’t see the stars standing on a bright football field at night. Some astronauts were able to take long exposure UV photographs of bright stars and Venus from the moon, though. But skeptics would probably argue these photos were taken from earth.
What about the fact that there was no blast crater from the lunar module on the moon, especially when scientists before predicted one would be created? Well NASA says those scientists predicted wrong. The fact is, the pressure on the moon was simply too low for the lunar module to create a crater.
Quite a bit of discussion by skeptics revolve around the discussion of lighting and shadows in photographs taken on the moon. Shadows are inconsistent and often intersect in photographs. Skeptics argue that the shadows should be completely black and run parallel to each other. NASA and others argue that shadows are weird on the Moon due to many light sources and lunar dust. Also, the unique terrain of the moon alters how the shadows are seen.
Skeptics also say the photographs on the Moon show the same exact background, despite astronauts saying the photos were taken far away from each other. They argue that the backdrop was basically kept the same, even for different Apollo missions. Take this photograph, for example. Skeptics have combined the two pictures and claim the backgrounds match. Pretty crazy, eh? Well, NASA says that because the Moon is much smaller than Earth, horizons appear closer to the naked eye than they really are, and thus may look identical from different viewpoints.

I believe the moon landings happened but what you're saying is not only easily accomplished by filming on an indoor set, it's actually a notorious problem with filming outdoor scenes in a studio.

And we have made many space achievements since then, albeit typically unmanned (i.e. sending a spacecraft to Pluto).

For starters, you’d have to believe that the 400,000 people who worked on the Apollo program have managed to keep a coverup secret for 50 years. Add to that the notion that scientists around the world have been fooled by analyzing “phony” moon rocks, soil, thousands of photos, film, thousands of scientific papers, hardware, tracking, telemetry, data, billions of pages of documentation, etc. And then there is this idea that Stanley Kubrick filmed Apollo. All one has to do is compare the 2001 Space Odessey moon-surface footage to Apollo’s real images, film. There is a huge difference. Kubrick made no attempt to try and simulate the moon’s 1/6 surface gravity because it was too difficult, impractical. Its laughable, yet conspiracists continue to sell the hoax. Why? Fake news is big business $$$ The estimated 5,000 Apollo surface photos and hours of astronauts surface EVA's video are far too complex to have been faked by Hollywood in the early 60s..

What i don't understand is that there is a lot less gravity on the moon than on Earth, which is why i was told the astronauts had to wear heavily weighted boots etc or they would float away. Yet when they kick the moon dust up it falls just as quick as it does on Earth, why doesn't it float away?

[@rockethead7]

1) No astronaut wore any weighted boots. 2) Moon dust doesn't float away because the moon has gravity. 3) If you have an issue with the rate that the dust falls, calculate it. Calculate the initial velocity of the dust, and the time it spends in its arc until it hits the ground again. Physics 101. I mean, the math/physics has been done a few million times already, but, since you say that it's wrong, calculate it. Demonstrate your claim.

Notice also that fine dust here on Earth makes dust clouds that fall slowly, because the air slows its fall. There's no air on the Moon, so no dust clouds form and the dust goes down as fast as it goes up.

It isn't really the closer horizon that makes the backgrounds at 5:29 look similar, it is the lack of atmosphere - the backgrounds on those photos are several miles away, but they appear to be close because we on Earth are so used to seeing distant environments as bluish and indistinct due to atmospheric haze, so we feel as if the backgrounds on those photos are very close.

@felix mendez No, there aren't.

[@Jan_Strzelecki]

@felix mendez _You want evidence? How about this for starters. Here there are only a few of the counteless pieces of evidence of the hoax:_ _a) "Astronauts" being incapable of giving a straight answer in their Apollo 11 press conference, when asked if they saw any stars while on the Moon and having to consult among themselves to be able to provide an answer._ Your point (a) is bullshit. Neil Armstrong gave a PERFECTLY STRAIGHT ANSWER. There was no need for them to "consult among themselves" nor did they do so. Patrick Moore asked them two questions - the first was about how "firm" they found the lunar surface, and the second was "when you looked up at the sky could you actually see the stars and the solar corona, in spite of the glare?". Buzz Aldrin then answered the first question, causing a delay between Moore's second question and Armstrong's answer. Armstrong then answered (with the straightest of straight bats): "We were never able to see stars from the lunar surface or on the daylight side of the Moon by eye without looking through the optics. Uh…I don’t recall, during the period of time that we were photographing the solar corona, what stars we could see". Armstrong here has clearly not realised that Moore was asking about the visibility of the Solar Corona from the lunar surface. This is quite understandable, as to attempt to see the corona Armstrong would have had to look directly at the Sun. Perhaps Moore thought his sun visor would have made this possible. In any event the reasons for Armstrong's misunderstanding are moot - for he clearly did so because in his reply he gives an answer that refers to the "period of time that we were photographing the solar corona". The Solar Corona photography took place before the landing, from the Command Module, when all 3 astronauts were together. They had just entered the Moon's shadow and were scheduled at this point to photograph the corona "peeking out" from behind the Moon. (These photographs are on record). Mike Collins either witnessed this photography or participated in it - so he gave a VERY NATURAL response to Armstrong's reply: "I don’t remember seeing any" (which tallied with Armstrong's own answer). And there it is. Collins was not responding to Patrick Moore's question, but to Neil Armstrong's answer. A perfectly INNOCENT AND NATURAL exchange. Patrick Moore realised the misunderstanding, but let it pass - probably because there were many of his professional colleagues waiting to ask their own questions. HOWEVER, when Moore got the chance to interview Armstrong 'one on one' for his BBC 'Sky at Night' program the following year, he took the opportunity to get the information he was looking for at the Press Conference. He asks the same question, but this time, to avoid any possibility of misunderstanding, he splits the question in two. They are the FIRST TWO QUESTIONS he asks. You can hear them here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqXHlJeuq7N8Z9E How can such a misunderstanding (on the part of Hoax Believers) arise from such a simple exchange at the Press Con? Are people so incapable of comprehending the meaning of words? The answer is that these people are so prejudiced by their desire to believe that the Moonlandings were faked, that they allowed their critical standards to drop and jumped onto the interpretation that they WANTED to hear. The "non-agreement" and "confusion" about what the Apollo astronauts saw from the surface became a REPEATED LIE. Now it has been answered. Please don't repeat that lie again.

[@swinde]

felix mendes ... Your entire post is total BS, but I will just point out one of your "points" (h). All of the lunar landings were made near the lunar morning terminator. And the reason is that the surface temperature is "cooler in those "days". Yes a Lunar "day" is about 15 Earth days long. The idea that the surface temperature recovers from 250 F below zero the 250 F above zero "instantly" shows you have no understanding of thermal dynamics. You are correct that the Moon has no atmosphere, so only the surface is heated. This is also why the suits are white and reflective to help protect from the heat. The surface temperature at the landing sites were approximately 130 F. Remember the night side had cooled to -250 F over the 15 days of darkness and penetrated considerably in the soil. It takes a while for this soil to warm up and it likely reaches the highest temperature in the late afternoon which would be 11 or 12 "Earth days" later. All of you other points have similar glaring failures. To less educated people they can seem to make sense.

Both bands are allocated internationally for space research and operations even today. A hybrid of radio communications and landline communication, both were full duplex (as was the Apollo capsule comms) meaning both ends could talk and listen at once, just like any other phone call.

[@paulbeardsley4095]

Are you aware that they went back five times?

[@rockethead7]

Robert, in order to understand this, you need to first understand that landing on the moon was really just a "stunt" in the first place. It was a political statement. It wasn't for exploration (though, yes, they did end up exploring the moon and getting a lot of good geology out of it). But, Apollo costed (adjusted for inflation) about $250 billion in hard costs, and about $100 billion in soft costs and international support. What did they get for it? They got 850 pounds of rocks, and 12 guys walked on the surface for a few hours each. Dollar for dollar, this is not a good investment. But, remember, that wasn't the point. The point was that we wanted to beat the Soviets, to demonstrate that we were capable of anything if we put our minds to it. It was a political statement to the Soviets: "Don't mess with us, or we'll beat you, we will always beat you." It was an effort to avoid WWIII by putting on a massive display of technological superiority. We'll never know what would have happened without Apollo. But, given the political climate at that time, at the brink of war, people building nuclear fallout shelters in their backyards, kids being trained to duck and cover in schools, etc., it's very possible that Apollo prevented that war from happening. That's certainly what the intent was anyway. So, after the USA won the race to the moon, things settled down quite a bit. The cold war continued, but, the Soviets never again did the same level of aggressive stuff, like they had done in Cuba. They backed off quite a bit, and eventually they collapsed altogether. Was Apollo responsible for that? Maybe. We'll never know for sure. But, the bottom line is that once the race was won, and the Soviets through in the towel, congress had no interest in continuing to fund an endless supply of missions to the moon. So, they cut it at Apollo 17, successfully landing 6 missions onto the moon, and shifted focus to much cheaper endeavors. They cut NASA's budget from 4.5% of the entire federal budget (plus another 2% or so in soft costs) down to 0.45% of the budget, literally 10% of what the funding was during the height of Apollo. Basically, the punchline is that the mission was accomplished, so they ended the program. And, we just haven't had a lot of reasons to spend that kind of money again, because unmanned probes that last a decade or more, costing $500 million instead of $350 billion, are more valuable than sending people who can only stay for 70 hours then come back home. Why haven't other countries done it? Because it's massively expensive. And, no other country has been willing to spend that kind of money to put the 13th person on the moon. By the way, Artemis was funded in 2019, and is proceeding. Artemis 1's mission was completed. Artemis 3 intends to put people back onto the lunar surface.

IMO, the more important question is whether the US had the capacity (in terms of materials) to land on the moon. If you know the mass of the earth and moon, and you have the aerodynamic models we have today, you can figure out if a vessel, of known shape, mass, engine output, fuel flow rate and fuel capacity (at each stage), is capable of making it to orbit, transferring to the moon, landing, lifting off again and coming back. I'm no expert on the technology used in 1969, but there have been hundreds of thousands of aerospace engineers since then performing similar calculations for other trips, engineers from every country including America's 'rivals'. If it were technologically impossible for the Apollo mission to have succeeded, we would have known by now. And if they were technologically capable, it would have been harder to orchestrate an effort to keep such a giant conspiracy under wraps while working on a 'fake mission' than it would be to just complete the mission as intended.

QUOTE: "The radiation belts of the Earth do, indeed, pose important constraints on the safety of human space flight. The very energetic (tens to hundreds of MeV) protons in the inner radiation belt are the most dangerous and most difficult to shield against. Specifically, prolonged flights (i.e., ones of many months' duration) of humans or other animals in orbits about the Earth must be conducted at altitudes less than about 250 miles in order to avoid significant radiation exposure. A person in the cabin of a space shuttle in a circular equatorial orbit in the most intense region of the inner radiation belt, at an altitude of about 1000 miles, would be subjected to a fatal dosage of radiation in about one week. However, the outbound and inbound trajectories of the Apollo spacecraft cut through the outer portions of the inner belt and because of their high speed spent only about 15 minutes in traversing the region and less than 2 hours in traversing the much less penetrating radiation in the outer radiation belt. The resulting radiation exposure for the round trip was less than 1% of a fatal dosage - a very minor risk among the far greater other risks of such flights. I made such estimates in the early 1960s and so informed NASA engineers who were planning the Apollo flights. These estimates are still reliable. -- James A. Van Allen"

[@rockethead7]

Is this a joke? The moon has 1/6th gravity of Earth, not zero. Do the math from there. I mean, do you really believe there hasn't been a single physicist anywhere on Earth for the past 50 years to notice this "problem" you think you spotted? And, sorry, if you expect a cloud, you clearly don't understand what a vacuum is. A cloud forms when the atmosphere suspends particles of stuff (dust/water/whatever) in the air. No atmosphere/air, no cloud. I'll cut you a bit of slack about the rover wheels, because most of that footage was shot in 16mm at 6 FPS, then sped back up to 24 FPS when they play it back (it's sped up). So, in a lot of that footage, yes, the dust appears to fall faster than it should, and there's no way for you to know that unless you understood in advance that it was being sped up. But, c'mon man, clouds in a vacuum?

Lol, The moon had 1/6 gravity, so dust would fall right back down. There is no AIR. NO ATMOSPHERE to suspend dust, So it goes up, and comes right back down. There is no billowing, no dust suspension to keep dust afloat. Vacuum just means no air pressure.

[@philipjohnston1749]

I'm saying when you watch the rover kicking up the dust behind it it falls exactly like it does on earth . Slightly less gravity should mean it falls slower and less organized, then you factor in no moisture it should float longer than the moist dirt does here not just spit up and emmediately drop straight down .I know there's no wind to blow it away .

What atmosphere does the moon have to hold that +240 degree temperature?

[@gunternetzer9621]

Although huge temperature variations occur on the Moon, the astronauts were never actually exposed to them. The maximum temperature on the Moon is +260F at lunar noon but with no atmosphere this refers to surface temperature not atmospheric temperature. Every Apollo landing was made shortly after lunar sunrise. One Moon day (dawn to dusk) lasts nearly 15 Earth days, and the astronauts were only on the Moon for a maximum of 3 Earth days, so they weren’t there long enough for the Sun to be at its highest and hottest. There are only two ways heat can transfer on the Moon. The first is radiation, both directly from the Sun and from the Sun’s reflection on the surface. The astronauts’ spacesuits were designed to reflect almost 90% of the light, so very little heat would have transferred to them. The second is by conduction from direct contact with the surface. This is also an ineffective process as the dust, soil and rock on the lunar surface is loose and doesn’t conduct heat well and the astronauts’ boots were insulated, slowing down conduction even further. Water from a tank in the backpack flowed through the Liquid Cooled Garment (a web of fine tubing within the spacesuit) into a heat exchanger and then out through tiny pores in a metal sublimator plate (turning from a solid directly into a gas) where it was exposed to the vacuum of space. The consequent pressure drop froze the water, forming a layer of ice on the outside of the plate. Once the water under the plate cooled to a user-comfortable temperature, it was returned to the LCG and the water in the plate would re-freeze, sealing the plate and stopping the cooling process. Thus, heat rejection with automatic temperature control was accomplished with no sensors or moving parts to malfunction. 12lb of feedwater gave about eight hours of cooling.

I think you'd be surprised the resolution of the film stock they used.

[@rockethead7]

The 70mm film photos from Apollo have better resolution than any HD/digital camera ever built. It'll be about 10-20 more years before digital HD surpasses the Apollo 70mm film. The latest HD scans of those photos are with 2340 lines of resolution, which is basically a conversion of about 300 DPI on that 70mm film. Yes, they're probably overdue for some updated scans, but, the scans they have already qualify as "HD," so, why are you making this claim to believe it once you see HD photos? Have you not looked in the NASA archive yourself? Also, what does the scan resolution have to do with your belief or disbelief? Why does the resolution level of the archive photos matter for what you believe?

[@tomgray3804]

I have always wondered about the radiation thing. Even Hubble has a lot of things protecting the sensitive equipment, including but not limited to the camera. Those little tiny cameras you see them with in every shot do not look like they would house enough material to protect from said radiation. I would bet even the background radiation outside the LM would at least cause defects in the film. None of which are seen from any footage at any point in the trip. I'm not a landing denier, just a science fan, and this one has always bugged me a bit.

[@randyschissler5791]

How long has Hubble been deployed, compared to a typical Apollo mission. Duration is the factor that matters. Regardless, some of the Apollo film shows damage from radiation, though relatively minor.

[@user-by7jv6qd7x]

you are perfectly right. Problem is there's so much counter evidence you don't even know where to start from. Here's one which too few are seemingly considering: the way they bump on the alledged moon surface. It looks way unrealistic. On moon you have a sixth of Earth''s gravity. That doesn't mean that a solid and compact, unelastic body rubbery bumps off and floats each time for a moment above the surface when touching down, like they are apparently doing. Does something which, gravity-wise, weights 20 kg bounces and floats when subject to a specific and consistent gravity pull? Not at all, it's like any other magnet. And they had a 30kg suit on. So astronauts were actually weighing probably around 40 kilos total each on the moon, and that's just all. When subject to gravity at no given time whatsoever a body floats: you are constantly and regularly attracted to the planet surface, just with a minor force on your weight, so you feel stronger, so to speak. Your muscles need less impulse to lift your body and weight, no more than that. You are just comparatively lighter. So what I see does not correspond to this basic notion nor to common sense. It just look like a fictitional and inaccurate depiction of what it would look like "a lesser gravity than Earth" situation when staged elsewhere, that is on Earth, hence by some artificial mean to simulate it (namely, as it has been pointed out, by elastic wires attached trom a concealed ceiling to the back of their suits and possibly a slow motion editing). If that gravity depiction were true... the module itself would have bounced and floated for an instant when touching down at its landing!! Hahaha. What I see in fact does only resemble the less-gravity-like effect they had been testing on, inside speeding down cargo airplanes, which looks precisely like that, instead, with floating-like moments beside the reduction of the perception of the gravity pull. But that it is not what a real lesser gravity would look like on a smaller planet, just a similar effect for a relative and appearent reduction of a body's weight I suspect NASA is delaying any "other" manned mission to the moon among other things in order to put as much distance with these phootage to avoid factual comparison with an actual, or real, "walking on the moon". The other reason being, that, 60 years later and by their own admission... they lack of the necessary equipment and tech for a real mission of this kind (but they had "better tech in 1969" hahaha. Logic and realism down the sink. When fact is space reliable and accounted manned activity is taking place non stop, but well, just all taking place in Earth's orbit.... still.)-
