    Dust in the landers feet (Lack Thereof) Photos from two different missions hundres of miles from each other with the same background. The fact that given the sheer number of photos the astronauts would have to be taking one every 3 seconds, all perfect, all focussed, all centered on what they were trying to snap, in a clumsy spacegloved hand and a camera with no viewfinder. And the main one, they couldn't go back today with 40 years of Tech Improvement. Been to the moon? Pah!

    I can't figure out if you're taking the P or serious. The number of people who would have to be in the conspiracy is vast - forget the three astronauts for each of the manned missions that landed (Apollos 11 through 17, less 13) - add in the thousands of ground staff. No way could a secret that big be kept. It also raises the interesting question of why Apollo 13 failed. If it was all a con, why not put it down as a success, like all the others? Bemused! :suss:

      Recreate the interest, and thus keep the funding.

        Why did the Russians not blow the whistle? Given it was faked it's highly unlikely that the USSR could not detect that no signals were coming from the moon. And given the state of the cold war it's highly unlikely they would not have shouted it to the skies. Unless of course CSS is right and there really is a super global conspiracy. :laugh:

          It's because all the chemicals they put in the water, also, this is one of the reasons they want to shut down the internet. Everything is starting to make sense now!!!

            In response to theory number 9, they may well have had a camera that was remote controlled from the Earth (which seems pretty unlikely anyway), but that dosent explain how there was already a camera on the surface watching them land during the famous "One giant leap for mankind" moment. Also, there seems to be a lack of flying dust from the landing (unless they waited a while before getting out).

              "The camera used to televise Neil Armstrong's first steps onto the lunar surface was mounted inside the base of the Apollo lander. It was located in a compartment called the Modular Equipment Storage Assembly, or MESA. This storage compartment contained much of the equipment and tools used by the astronauts on the Moon." How long do you think dust remains suspended in a vacuum?

              Once you agree to clans, tribes, governments...you've opted for socialism. The rest is just details.

                    As regards the light source/shadows (number 5) the sun is one light source. Isn't the earth another? Also, Mythbusters[^] looked at this and, as I recall, concluded that the way shadows are cast is influenced by the terrain as well as the light source.

                      Mythbusters is not a source of scientific truth. They are a pair of grotesquely hirsuit special effects doods. Sure, nice guys and entertaining, but they lack the qualifications to make statements that a court would accept.

                        I am sceptical. There is enough doubt to ensure I keep an open mind. When the only source of proof is from the people who claim it to be true there must be room for conspiracy. Until a return mission by another nation shows proof I shall have my doubts. I don't believe in god simply because bronze age goatherders invented a story, so I won't fall into the faith in Nasa trap either.

                          What doubt? :confused: All of the 'problems' with the evidence for the moon landing on further examination just support the idea of a genuine event.

                              Well so do you but that doesn't usually stop you! In any case, still valid, none the less. To imagine the moon landings (which I sat up all night with my dad and watched) were faked is lunacy: it would be far too difficult a conspiracy to maintain. The only pity is that we have not been back.

                                  But still my point remains, based on what evidence? I am not saying it didn't happen, I am saying there is enough doubt as to it being possible that until it is proved to a scientific standard then it is only on Nasa's say so. I hope it is true, but it would be bad science to accept it as truth as it is not repeatable or provable empirically, and there are enough holes in the theory for it to fail any acceptance test.
