No Offense.., but since what they have discovered are beyond the others technology to reach, or too hard to proof its falsity by others.., it seem they're aready spewing crap like no others..., No offence, but nowadays.., people seem to be "forced" to believe whatever they said, whatever they found, since most people are ignorant at its best.., yeah, i'm no scientist, but judging from their bad track record about fake moon landing..., i'm not buying it anymore..

Seriously, the moon landings were not faked. Here's a few reason why...
- You can bounce lasers off a mirror left there by the Apollo astronauts.
- When you analyse the videos of people walking on the moon their motions cannot be explained by anything other than a low level of gravity (no, the footage isn't slowed down, and no they are not on wires).
- Videos were made of a feather and a hammer falling at the same speed, which is only possible in a vacuum. No vacuum chambers existed in 1966 capable of holding a convincing looking film set. It could have only been on the moon.
- They've even taken photos of the landing sites of Apollo 11 and 14 where you can see evidence of the human activity.
- The Soviets had the means to track the Apollo missions, and yet they never claimed it was a hoax. Despite the fact that exposing it as a hoax would have been a huge hammer blow for the USA during the cold war. (Essentially the biggest sceptics of all are satisfied).
And to be quite frank, all the "evidence" you hear against people going to the moon is usually easily explainable.
And they haven't found alien life, NASA have just said that they are going to discuss a piece of evidence that will help in the search of life. Nothing has been found.

Moon hoaxers are the most aggrivating people on Earth. 10 years from now, SpaceX will be selling rides to the moon - when that is the case, shouldn't one think that just *maybe* we could of done it with 20x more funding a few decades ago?
All hoax evidence is based on very small, objectionable issues...They totally deny all the sound arguments. After all, we've been sending stuff in space for decades now - why is it so impossible to believe that once we've left Earth, we haven't gone the few extra days' journey to the closest object to us?

I think it has something to do with the Van Allen belt. Dont bite my head off though. I think they went.
I also think that the whole Space Race thing was a joke though, as it now looks like Russia didnt give a Rats Arse about going to the moon.
Still it was good to spin it as a race against the commies.

Here's the thing:
The radiation in the Van Allen Belt isn't that bad. According to Wikipedia, a sattellite traveling through it gets a dose of 25 Sv per year. Astronauts traveling through the belt are only in the belt approximately 1 hour going to and from the moon.
It takes a dose of 1 Sv in an hour to cause health concerns. The astronauts were exposed to approximately 1/9000th of the dosage needed to cause health concerns.
That is why the Van Allen Belt issue is far, far overblown. Most arguments are. The problem with the moon hoax issues is that if your spending the Delta-V to get to LEO or Geosyncronous orbit....The moon isn't very difficult to get to (you've already spent a ton of cash/resources to get to Geosyncronous orbit). Therefore, it makes absolutely no economical sense as to why you wouldn't go to the moon, given the NASA resources.
My comments aren't directed at you, but just the people that think its crazy. Yeah, there are some questions I have about every second of lunar footage....But I can't use my small questions to justify disbelief in a major project undertaken by millions of people. Furthermore, one of my old bosses worked for NASA and has done an insane amount of research into the lunar landings....You can't have so much data, people, information, photos, stories, and such and have 100.0% of it be faked.
