Do you think we really landed on the moon? There is a lot of information to back up that we did not. However, there is a lot of information that we DID. I don't know if we did or not.. It's a strange thing to think about.

What are you guys's ideas?

Yes, America did. I don't see how it's hard to understand. Yes, the moon has gravity. Everything has at least a bit of gravity. Gravity keeps things from flying away, and inertia tries to make those things fly away, according to Science. The reason why astronauts don't fly away from the moon is because of gravity.

The Flag waving probably came from the force of the astronauts trying to stick it into the ground. Also, their suits keep them protected from heat and cold, plus the Sun's radiation.

This is a fact, not opinion. Opinions are what you think about things with words that are adjectives.(Sometimes, at least) Facts are what happened in the real world. You can have opinions about facts, but they're still some-what of a fact. Not an exact fact, but still fact.

Who really cares, though? I went ahead and put yes, because I'm sure America did, but still. It's also obvious that the people that don't believe it happened will only believe it happened if they go to the moon themselves and find the flag, which will only happen if they become astronauts.

Locked for impending flame war. People are calling each other names in here and shouting in all caps. I think it's time to stop now if we can't all be mature about a topic like this.

Sigh... Look, we landed on the moon. Why did we build multiple spacecraft and make multiple trips if we could've spent a few million less dollars and filmed it in Hollywood? Why did the astronauts train so long and hard? Why did they develop so much technology? Because we wanted to actually land on the moon. Russia (Or, back then, the Soviet Union) would've found out a long time ago that we were lying. Did they say anything? I don't think so.

And... not so sure why we have to get so heated and insult everyone over this...

I think the poll pretty well explains it.

In fact it does, there is a section of the moons surface that always faces away from earth. the light side does become dark at some times, but the dark side is always dark. to recap: There is a constant dark side, there is NOT a constant light side. I tried not to use so many big words.

-.- Your simple definition counters itself. How can half of the moon become dark at some time but the dark side not move at all? It's like half are twisting.... anyways:

A very small part of the moon is always dark, but the moon SPINS. It rotates.

It rotates the oppisite way it spins, and you forget the earth spins as well. The way the moon spins along with the earth it keeps the "darkside" facing away from earth.

Well, if you don't believe it for yourself, Neil Armstrong left a mirror array on the moon. Observatories are able to ping lasers off this mirror and receive them back. If that's not enough proof I don't know what else is.

These threads make me lose faith in humanity and the public school system. Facts are not debatable. Also, as someone else pointed out, Mythbusters debunked the flag waving myth. Reading this thread is less healthy for your brain than repeatedly bashing your head against a brick wall.

I only have two questions to this. Space is vakuum. Anything that is in vakuum will try filling it. Why dont astronauts explode then? And what if there is actually air in Space but the government tells us there isnt so we dont go to space?

Acually space is not a perfect vacuum, there are dust partials everywhere (shooting stars?), radiation, and many molecules, and elements.

Er, but if you look at the ratio of particles to space, you'll realize it's definitely a vacuum. Astronauts and the space shuttle don't explode because of the shuttle and the astronauts suits are pressurized. This means that the air inside the suit is at a comfortable pressure and the suit keeps the air from escaping into the vacuum. There is no air in space. SpaceX, a private, non-government space company, has space ships of there own. As well as many other different governments around the world. If there was air in space, someone would have caught on by now.

Side: We didn't land.

Many conspiracy theories have been put forward. They either claim that the landings did not happen and that NASA employees (and sometimes others) have lied; or that the landings did happen but not in the way that has been told. Conspiracists have focused on perceived gaps or inconsistencies in the historical record of the missions. The foremost idea is that the whole manned landing program was a hoax from start to end. Some claim that the technology to send men to the Moon was lacking or that the Van Allen radiation belts, solar flares, solar wind, coronal mass ejections and cosmic rays made such a trip impossible.

Side: We did land

The astronaut was setting up the flag, and shaking the pole that it was attached to. A flag DOES wave in a vacuum.

Traveling at around 25,000 mph, the astronauts would have
made it through the radiation in about an hour, receiving 1/25 of the radiation
that is considered dangerous by the government.

Also, no blast crater? reality, there should NOT be a blast crater. The LM descent engine was made to slow the craft down, and not blast off. Since it only generated 1050 pounds of thrust (not 10,000 lbs like FOX said), and the gravity on the Moon is less, and the engines were shut off BEFORE impact, there can't be a blast crater.

Sufficient evidence for both sides.

The Moon HAS gravity, just much less than earth's. The flag WAS moving because there is also some space wind. Nothing Else to discuss, men have landed to the moon. Duh.

If people don't believe it, they are retarded, we have full recordings of us landing on the moon, placing our flag on the moon. The thing about the flag waving in the wind isn't impossible. I have taken studies, and the studies show that the Moon, in fact, does have an atmosphere. Do you think the Earth is the only planet with wind? You need to research this stuff kids! In the 50's it was hard to comprehend, now it should be sitting in the back of your heads!
