I don't want to waste time on this. In 1969, no one had the capability to fake these landings such that it wouldn't be obvious today. A lot has been written about this. The world is full of people looking for sensational stories proving that heros are cheats, and that facts are fiction. We landed on the moon.

Go to Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy pages. He debunks the various conspiracy theories around the Moon landings quite well. Most deal with light and shadow effects and the cameras. The conspiracy theorists say that the images prove that the landings were fake because of what they call "anomolies," but that is only because those people don't know anything about photography.

Check out Phil Plait's site Bad Astronomy in the Resources on the Web topic or through Links at the top of the page. He has a really good explanation of why the hoax theory is a complete hoax.

You might also check out the mission reports which are available. NASA printed them up and got them published..Museums have them if you have trouble getting them on the web..

A large book called " Full Moon" has some incredible photos that visual effects could have not reproduced in those days...Kubrick came close but nowhere near
what these photos show..

Stars are not visible due to the same reason our telescopes fail to pick them up when we overpower the situation...They are out of focus range that the camera
needs to keep things on the moon in focus..Go outside and take a picture of your house at night with any camera..The shutter won't be open long enough to take in the stars and if it was open long enough to take in the stars, the lighting from your neighborhood would smear the whole situation up.

Shadows seen going in different directions occur in everyday life as different light sources that are reflective can cast shows within shadows...

All the above posts provided good places to check out as well.

i would say the biggest proof that the moon landings happened was that the soviets didn't say they didn't happen. they knew without a doubt weather or not we landed on the moon....and do you think they would ahve kept their mouth shut if it didn't. plus!....i watched it on tv live.....

There is a really good article on this in an Austalian Astronomy mag i was reading recently. It has all the theories and how they coulndt have been faked

The US flag blowing in the non existent moon atmosphere - if you look closely there is a strut along the top of the flag to make sure it remains open. The US would hardly take a flag somewhere that would just fall flat down the flag pole.

There is a perfect reflection in one of the astronauts visors of the lunar surface, captured at such an angle that if it had been filmed in a studio the set/camera/other people would be seen in the reflection. There was no way in 69 they had the computer technology to alter and warp an image onto a visor after it was filmed.

How did they fake the 1/6 earth gravity that you can see the astronauts bouncing around in, and the moon rover they had bouncing slowly on the terrain, as well as the dust particles falling much much slower than they would have on earth.

Why has none of the 200,000 people involved with the moon landings come forward to sell their story to a magazine or at least had their guilty concscience come back to haunt them in their older years to spill the beans....

why.....

because the moon landing was not a fake.

hmm maybe the moon landing is real afterall

The most important point is that, as Myheadhurts said, is that the soviets, who were in a cold war with the US at that time, didn't say anything. As I read somewhere, it was possible to find out if the signals sent live to the world were coming from the moon or the U.S. The Soviets would definitely have done this.

Even if you don't believe in anything else, you must belive in this. I do.
