Well not everything over the Internet is right
I just wanted to share this anyway!
chain mails!!!!

""Time to correct our knowledge. Did United States ever send man on moon as claimed by them??

Have a look at these startling facts and decide yourself.... ""

Sara, that is so old! yawn

There's a documentary I watched a couple of years ago that basically concluded it was all fake - no man on moon. Take the flag for example, on the "live feedback" the flag moves around as though there is a breeze... however, there is no wind in space... so what's blowing the flag?

does the moon not have some gravity and therefore atmosphere? If there is atmosphere its posible there is wind as you would not be in space anymore

dunno why but this reminded me of that movie with Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts. What was it called... Conspiracy Theory or something like that? I can't even remember whether it was a good movie or not...

Anyway they showed a whole documentary about this on some channel a year ago. Wouldn't surprise me if it turned out to be true.

As far as I'm aware there is a gavitational pull on the moon, but no atmosphere.

As for the pics etc. Well personally I believe they did go to the moon and landed on it, walked round etc, however it is entirely possible that they recorded all the video and photo's first incase they couldn't get video feed from the moon. So it's possible that these photo's are fake, but that they still went to the moon!

Aj, as Z rightly pointed out the moon has gravitational pull, as its a "satellite", but no atmosphere.

i agree, they did go.... many of the assumptions used in the article are incorrect. for instance the lunar modual did not land under power (from below), hence the lack of "blast zone" that they are waffling about.. etc, etc...

although it would make an interesting plot for a book .... can you imagine what would happen if niel armstrong on his death bed deceides to take the piss and whispers "we never really went ..... aaaaaaaah...."

well wen can send Hp to see if tha us flag is still there...this way we will have evidence

Not such a stupid idea!! Well, maybe not send HP!
I have heard that there is going to be a couple of orbitors sent to the moon to take pictures of the whole surface. In theory, the pictures these take should show a few American flags, some remnants of the lunar landers and also that golf buggy they used out there!
I think its one conspiracy theory that will be answered - we just might have to wait a few years!

Can you imagine that?? They went. Conspiracy theories are funny though.

well they did install a mirror on the surface, which they still use to shoot a laser at every once in a while to determine the distance between the moon and earth...

maybe martians put that there.... just after they had handed over the blue prints for velcro and microwave ovens ...

Did they stop off on there way to Roswell?

i heard that at roswell they recovered a female alien life form wedged in the drivers seat ......

maybe she dropped her mirror while doing her makeup

Controversial - but nevertheless, probably true!!

hawt

The flag is held by a stick. The bottom part is free to float around in zero gravity... Thats why it looks like its flapping.

The shows, I cannot explain.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Americans never went and this was all a ruse to ward off the Soviets who were prior to the Moon landings more advanced than the Americans in their space program.

Of course they went there and brought lots of people with them! Where else did all the lunatics now living in Dubai would have come from? (Luna = moon in some languages).

There are Indians living on the Moon?

Who else do you think are digging out those craters??

Pinoys?

No - it has to be indians. Its tax-free out there

DXBsoul, you're correct they 'ping' the moon to check the distance. And no the lunar module doesn't use it's rocket thruster to land as it would use all the fuel to blast the lander back into space. Because there is limited gravity they only require the use of the small thrusters for landing as you're not fighting a big gravitational force pulling you downwards.

May I bring your attention to the movie 'Capricorn One' which looked at exactly this.

You mean to tell me you all didnt know about this? It was all filmed in a desert in Nevada.

Also the working conditions are better than in Dubai.... Its not as hot

Capricorn One was filmed in the desert. The moon landings were filmed obviously from the moon.

Also with regard to the shadows in the pictures, don't forget that the Earth itself would have reflected a lot of light back towards the moon.

Now if you said she was blonde I'd believe you!

Actually, any object has a gravitational pull whether or not it's a satellite. For example, you pull the earth towards you with just as much force as it pulls you.

It's not zero gravity there but yes there's a horizontal rod to stop the flag from drooping. And no atmosphere so no air resistance to slow the "flapping" down. Also the fabric was still crinkled after being unpacked and I doubt they brought along an iron to press it.

You can't see the stars because the sun is shining (just like daytime on Earth). On earth the sky looks blue due to the atmosphere. No atmosphere on the moon so black sky hence the illusion of it being "night time" and the expectation of seeing stars. Plus all the science fiction movies usually show stars conditioning us to expect that.

On the Dark Side of the Moon I assume you'd see stars but they didn't land there.

Different direction shadows due to light reflected from earth as well as sunlight.

That's not to say it wasn't a hoax but the evidence presented so far is insufficient and easily debunked with a bit of research.

I know the moon is not zero gravity and is a fraction of that of the Earth. I just said zero gravity because it is extremily low and might as well be that

Now about the Lunar Indians. Are these people paid like in Dubai or better? I heard that Venusian contractors pay them better than their kin in Dubai....
