So the moon landing was faked!

And radio transmissions can easily be faked, I once convinced a guy in the next town I was Russian Tank Commander on a CB once.

I very much doubt if he was using multiple recievers to triangulate the source of your signal.

The signals from the lunar lander came from the moon. Either that's fact or a huge number of people around the world are all lying about it.

You could argue that they sent an unmanned ship up to drop a receiver and transmitter and that the signals originated on Earth before being received and retransmitted from the moon, but that's very different to you fooling that guy on CB.

We know that the USA had the capability to do a manned lunar mission in 1969 - they were far from secretive about it. Telling everyone was the whole point.

We know that the USA sent ships to the moon and back a number of times, including during each of the manned missions. The ships were tracked and the signals from them were tracked.

So we know they could have done it and we know they spent the money necessary to do it...so why would they have run the enormous risk of faking it even if they could have faked it (and it's highly unlikely that they could have faked it).

The conspiracy faith makes no sense unless you believe that aliens intervened, ordered the USA to fake the missions and either faked it themselves or provided the USA with the technology to fake it in sealed black boxes that the aliens took away afterwards (since the technology didn't exist afterwards).

It's not a convincing argument.

Yes yes, I like that one.
That will be the next CT I believe like a sheep without doing any homework, it makes sense.
 
Here's my observations from Moon landing conspiracies. These are the typical groups we see:

1. People that assume we went to the moon and aren't even aware of conspiracies that we did not.
2. People that are aware of some conspiracies but have never looked into them.
3. People that investigate the conspiracies and claim the moon landings were faked without looking at the counter evidence.
4. People that are aware of the conspiracies, did their own research and came to the conclusion that not a single argument holds any weight.

I do enjoy a conspiracy, they are all very interesting in their own ways and often lead to discovering something you weren't previously aware of. If you are going to claim something as strong as 'The moon landings were faked', you'd better have some very strong evidence. So far no-one has met the burden of proof.

Most conspiracy theorists are similar to theists in that they simply won't listen to reason. Its not worth trying because they will ignore rational arguments even when presented in the most compelling ways possible. Their mind set is simply that they know something that you do not and if you argue, you're a 'sheep'.

Don't waste your time guys.

If the Americans had faked the moon landing then I don't think Russia would have abandoned its manned lunar program.

More specifically, if there was even the slightest inkling of a fake, Russia would have exposed it, denounced it, and destroyed the American Administration at the time. This was the cold war, Russia and USA (as did many other countries ofc) and spies everywhere. It is not inconceivable that there was spies at Nasa as well.

Oh, and Hubble did photograph the Lunar landing site, and you can see the shape of the bottom of the lunar lander still in situ.

:p. I knew that was going to be a reply.

It happened. Fact.

:D

In honesty I fall on neither side, but there is undeniably inconceivable evidence for both sides of the argument.

It's one of those things we will never truly know, along with 9/11 etc.

I think most people debate the first landing being faked, not the 4th.

The evidence all stems from the inconsistency's with the imagery supplied by NASA for Apollo 11.

I didn't realise that was the case, I assumed that those who contested the moon landings didn't believe we had ever gone to the moon.
