    Still does not constitute Proof under scientific rules.

    I don't think science can proof anything. It can provisionally confirm hypotheses i.e. say they have not been refuted but can never decisively prove they are true. It just seems to me to be a mistake to ask for scientific proof in cases such as this. All you can ask is which is more likely, that it happened or it was a hoax. All the alleged evidence that it was a hoax seems to be explicable under the hypothesis that it happened. And, as I said before, if it had not happened the USSR would have blazed it to the skies. And that did not happen, so I guess that the landings did happen. Alternatively, there was some super national conspiracy to suppress the fact that the transmission from the moon were all fake.

      Here, dust stays up a long time because it's only slightly denser than the air around it... In a vacuum, there's nothing pushing it up, so it falls down just as fast as, say, a person. Think of the old experiment... Drop a ball and a feather in normal air, and the feather floats down gently while the ball drops fast. Do it in a vacuum, and they both land at the same time.

      That's because fairies like feathers, and support them during the fall.

          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 about the Apollo 11 & 15 laser retro-reflectors? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Laser_Ranging_experiment[^] If you have a powerful enough laser and telescope, you might be able to see the reflection. (and according to the article, the soviets sent up two reflectors themselves. So, if the landings were fake why wouldn't they say anything?) These reflectors are mostly used for range finding: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Point_Observatory_Lunar_Laser-ranging_Operation[^]

              Well, it still shows that something landed on the moon. Even if it wasn't necessarily human, it still shows that we could get something up there in one working piece.

                  It's not that difficult from a engineering point of view believe it or not, it's more a process and maangment issue to get all the engineering to come together plus the political support. Add to that satellite TV and, to paraphrase, it's not that great a leap. Finally think of all the stories where evidence has leaked and the conspiracy theory becomes even weaker. It is simply easier to have actually done it.

                    The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s^2. The pertinent equation is s = 1/2 gt^2. So if the dust was throw a full kilometer high (I think most would have been blasted on low parabalic trajectories), it would take sqrt(1000/(1.6 /2)) = sqrt(1250) = 35 seconds for ALL the dust to have settled COMPLETELY. Considerably shorter than the time it would have taken them to get out of their seats and get to the hatch even if they'd done that, which they didn't.

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

                      I find it quite sad that there are those who still hold to the belief that the moon landings were faked. It undermines the brave men and women who sacrificed so much for the sake of human exploration. It's so easy for armchair experts to deny evidence isn't it? If only they had the faith that these things are possible by man.

                        What about inionising radiation, if that spelling is incorrect, must be the bourbon. If i was a dust paticle, which i am not by the way. I would stick to anyting of the opposite charge, i am thinking that there is probably a lot of ionising radiation on the moon. Possibly not underground in Hollywood, or maybe there is amongst the Wild Turkey ?

                                    I'd guess it's a piece of packing material from some equipment they unloaded. We just were environmentally sensitive enough in those days to pack out the trash. :omg:
