Real or Not Real?
The other day a friend and I were discussing NASA's Lunar Landing Mission and whether or not it actually happened. It all started when @kid4life asked Which Influential Figure Would You Be for a Day? and he mentioned Neil Armstrong. The topic stood in my head for a bit, and so I eventually discussed it with some friends.
Some of my friends believe that NASA did succeed in landing on the Moon and returning the astronauts back to Earth, while some of my other friends don't believe that NASA put human beings on the Moon, and then returned them safely to Earth. So today's Question of the Day is Did Nasa Really Land on the Moon or Not? State why or why not in your comment.
I personally want to be believe that NASA succeeded in placing human beings on the Moon, and then was successful in returning them safely back to Earth, but the cynical side of my mind casts so much doubt on that belief. The reason I want to believe that mankind was successful is because this would be one of if not thee greatest achievement in the history of mankind. The ability to transcend Earth's gravitational grounding, land on another terrestrial object and then return back to the home planet Earth is beyond amazing for a creature that shares 98% or 99% DNA with chimpanzees, bonobos and gorillas.
If NASA was successful, this could eventually lead to colonizing the Moon with the intent of using it for storage as well as a staging area for launching towards Mars. Since the Moon is much closer, it would be easier to go back and forth to Earth with supplies in both directions (thinking Moon mining for ores). Once a successful space colony is established on the Moon, the next step would be to prepare a staging area for launching to Mars. Even if this is not a viable option for launching to Mars, it still would be a great place to start experimenting with space colonization, while still somewhat being tethered to Earth.
This all sounds great, but if we are to consider space travel and colonization an experiment, then there are some gaps in the data. The biggest notable gap is that like in all breakthrough scientific experiments, it has to be at the very least replicated, if not by other "space scientiest" then the original experimenters. Considering NASA's scientific experiment from 1969 - 1972, then this experiment has never duplicated "in the lab" again. In scientific circles, this NASA "experiment" would be considered bogus since it has not be done by NASA or anyone else since the original period.
Did you know that from 1958 - 1965 NASA attempted 18 unmanned lunar missions, with only 3 of them being fully successful. That means NASA was only successful about 17% of the time it attempted to simply land on the Moon. The Russians fared worse during this time period with only a 10% success rate. From 1966 - 1968 NASA completed 5 of 7 lunar landings only, for a much better percentage rate of 71%. Then, all of a sudden NASA is 100% successful in not only landing on the Moon, but then successfully returning the Astronauts to Earth the following years from 1969-1972.
Secondly, the original NASA film footage of mankind's greatest achievement, the Apollo 11 Moon Landing, has been lost. Somehow the U.S. government still has a 240 year old document, the Declaration of Independence, but does not have the original footage from NASA's 1969 Moon Landing. This is very hard to believe, casting a long shadow of doubt and opening the door to conspiracy theory. The quickest conspiracy that arises is that this film was lost in order to avoid scrutiny for evidence of proof that the Moon landings were faked by Hollywood. I know some will point to the LROC images of the Moon, but the Government has space satellites that can probably read what is on your iphone dispay when out and about, and those LROC images are a joke.
Is this Real?

What say you?

They sure as hell did not land on the moon!!!
Agree.

Too many inconsistencies on both sides. I don't think they 'lost' the footage from Apollo 11. They have it, it's stored. It's our government at work.
The first footage... I agree you don't see the earth at all, there are no stars at any point in any picture, unless it's daylight 24/7 with no atmosphere though there would be an abundance of stars. The reflection in one of the helmets and so forth. The environment seems structured. When you look at other pictures such as the video put up by @funbobby51 the terrain is different.
Why haven't we gone back? Who says we haven't? The last time I was at Cape Canaveral Challenger was in place for launch in a couple of weeks.
There had to be success at some point our government would not have spent that much money on 6 missions . Would they hide their findings...definitely.
Of course I do view all of this a bit differently. What better way to keep things quiet than to keep conspiracy theories running amuck. The answers to theses questions and hypothesis will not be answered until most of us are long gone. Maybe our great-grandchildren will know. We never will. Freedom of Information Act or not. Our government will not release anything it doesn't want to.
Thanks for the input @tryskele and yes you do put another ingredient to this thickening plot.
In my opinion it's all a LIE.
Motive: Why money of course! Look how much funding they get!!!!
Good evening @streetstyle, of course, NASA arrived and continues to arrive, not only to the moon, but also to carry out secret projects, and activities that, according to them, are not important to us beings of the common, without taking into account that among us there are people with remarkable intelligence.
Have a nice night:)
Good in my opinion is a total sham,
In 1969 buzz aldrin the astronaut who was sent or who has stepped on the moon in his photo shows that it is a total assembly, always when we make assemblies we forget to review to the last detail and this was easily displayed in the photo that was published as a sign that if he had visited the moon, hehe forgot to turn on the stars and constellations in the background, here we can appreciate it
Greetings friend ..
First of all great topic. I agree with your opinion. To be honest with you I’m even more sceptical than I was before when Trump said recently they will put an extra budget to send a man back to the moon. Comparing today’s technology with technology decades and decades ago, why wouldn’t they go back to lend on the moon already between then and today? Why do they need an extra budget? I saw many interviews with the cosmonauts who “apparently landed on the moon” and there was so many red flags. I remember one of them wasn’t sure what to say when asked “how did they get through Van Allen radiation belt?”.... At the end do we get to know the truth? There will always be sceptical people like me and people who believe whatever government says regardless what the truth is.
Russia has never been to the moon, 12 Americans have walked on the moon.
As much as I would like for the moon landing to have happened, the inconsistencies scream.
And I haven't found logical answer to my queries yet..
The blast pattern under the landing ship, and 'all the technology data has been 'lost' about previous landings.
The biggest event in human history, and they 'misplaced the data'....?
....Really?
interesting now one has to travel back in time to find that out but something this sound really awesome to think in that way may be they just hyped up everything
I think yes, i think is really difficult hold a fake situation like that for years and years, but as we know goverments are able to do something like that and can create all this farce, coclusion i don't know but i hope yes. Regards
