Jonah spent 3 days in the belly of a whale. That's all I know for sure.

Here's a better explanation of flag waiving as astronauts leave the surface.

Let's think about this critically, shall we? This occurred in the middle of the cold war. Both sides had countless spies sniffing around at all times on stuff like this.

The chances of keeping secret a hoax that comprehensive, several times, is virtually impossible. You honestly think we just made it up, for a little extra intimidation against a country that already knows we have nuclear missiles they cannot defend against?


Did you ever think that the Russians also had reasons not to expose this possible (and I said possible) hoax?

But you think that if the Government wanted to it would be easier to actually go to the moon than fake it?

The benefit of actually landing on the moon FAR outweighed the potential embarrassment of it being exposed as fake.

And what American would have believed we didnt land on the moon if some Commie tried to prove we didnt? Every American was born to think Communism was evil before that time so, no one would have believed it anyway.

1, 2 and 4, however, raise credible suspicions about the authenticity of the moon landing.



Do tell us why the government would lie about it then?

I can't wait for this explanation...

1. Not to mention the MILLIONS of dollars you could make coming forward with proof we faked it. When you have 500,000 people working on a project, and ZERO come forth with evidence we faked it, it's just plain true. Common sense is a valuable thing, and some people just don't have it.

2. Then there are the actual samples of moon rocks brought back, that were studied by THOUSANDS of independent scientists all over the world. In peer reviewed journals EVERY single one proclaims them non-terrestrial (and 100s of millions of years older than any rock ever found on earth, btw).

3. If we faked it, then we faked it NINE TIMES. Think about this people: did NASA set up the largest plane ever created with rocks, and moon dust, and fake skylines, and built a fake lunar module and insert it INSIDE the plan, to mimick gravity - NINE TIMES. For what reason?

Any one of these points is enough to prove we did...but people will be gullible because a documentary tells them something interesting.

Amazing how that video was published AFTER people started questioning the moon landing.

Why wasn't it around before then?

Doubtful that those reasons were stronger than the reasons to expose it.

Besides, if it was faked, why didn't the far more corrupt USSR fake it themselves?

It would have been persuasive to their people and possibly other parts of the world.

Again, not my point. I'm just asking which do you think would be easier in response to the post that we could go to the moon but not fake a quick film about it.

I believe we went to to the moon.
