Think about this: to date, only three countries have been able to put a man merely in Earth orbit – the United States, Russia, and China. That speaks to how difficult it is just to get into orbit. Next, consider how far away the moon is from the Earth: 240,000 miles. Since the alleged moon landings, no country even claims to have gone more than 400 miles from Earth and that was in the Space Shuttle. The International Space Station orbits at 200 miles above Earth. There is a big difference between 240,000 miles and 400 miles. Why can’t anyone make it more than 400 miles from Earth today if we could make a 480,000 mile round trip in 1969?

NASA further asserts that three men were loaded into a rocket, flew 240,000 miles to the moon and then achieved lunar orbit. They say the spacecraft separated and two astronauts flew 60 miles to the surface of the moon, in a vacuum and 1/6 Earth gravity. They then hung out on the moon for up to three days in 250 degree heat, hit golf balls, rode a moon buggy — but what powered their life support and equipment? They say BATTERIES.

They then supposedly blasted off the surface of the moon, docked with the third man going around the moon at over 4000 miles per hour, and made it 240,000 miles back to Earth. They re-entered Earth’s atmosphere going 25,000 mph, but parachutes assured a safe landing in the ocean.

    Oh, you poor, naive fools. There IS no moon! It was invented in 1472 by FDR in order to trick the Visigoths into invading Ancient Rome. However, the myth is maintained so that no one will ever figure out why we REALLY have tides…

    The proof that there was no moon landing is that there is no giant sign written in 200ft letters on the Moon’s surface saying, “IN YOUR FACE COMMIES!”

    Just kidding. I know for a fact that the US has been on the moon because I have a telescope and I can clearly make out a giant oil stain, a carelessly smoldering campfire and 50+ glad bags full of garbage.

    I haven’t seen this movie,nor do i intend to watch it as it is old worn out history. I was ten years old in 1969 and watched all this on the tube with my family , as did the rest of America/World. What i can not justify looking back a life time later is the colossal waste of money it took from the American tax payer to do it. That same money could have been spent here on earth ,and have been better spent in many more ways then for 200Lbs of “moon rock”.I could have gone out into the Arizona desert and gotten that for free, or a half tank of gas.It very much sadins me when i think of the waste that this country drops.We the people,and of the world do not need 14 aircraft carriers. We do not need 56 nuclear sub marines.We do not need America being the police force of the world.And we do not need NASA.What we need is cleaner water,cleaner air.And new technology’s for dealing with the ills of this world, because i’ll tell you people this. If man kind dose not come together, and work together in accordance with the better angles of our natures, to find answers for the problems that this world faces, in the not to distant future, we as a spices in this world, and perhaps for a time the world itself.Is doomed.Moon Rocks..  And as for space exploration. I could care less. But if it has to be how about this proposal. For every 100 dollars that NASA raises of private money.We the people will put in 1 dollar of tax money. Then the people who want this the most can pay for it them selves.

      I also do not think that space exploration is a waste. It is just a waste right now. We have to many problems here for us to be wasting our time and resources trying to reach places that won’t have benifits for centuries. Solve our problems here and then we will explore space. If we can’t live on this planet, then we will never be able to live in space.

    My guess is that whoever doesn’t believe in the moon landing also believes that JFK wasn’t assassinated by Lee Oswald, our government was responsible for 9/11, and Osama Bin Laden is still alive.  Seriously, try to prove these things (including that the moon landing was a hoax), but I promise you will not win.

    Also, explain who was controlling the Apollo shuttle in space and every single space mission after that, what are the points of having astronauts, and how tides are created.  Enlighten me.

Even top of the line 2011 CGI can’t match the authenticity of the moon landing footage. Do something better with your time, trying to convince the world that the moon landings were fake is a complete waste.

    The space shuttles never left orbit because they werent designed to go into outer space.I have always thought we went to the moon i sat all night watching it live when i was 12 and i would be devastated to find out it was all pretend. As i get old i am begining to realise that all is not as it seems in the world have i been nieve in my beliefs? I can only guess its such a huge achievement that most people just cant believe it was done such a distance? But i think most of those people also beilieve that aliens are travelling millions of light years to flash a few lights at us they fly back home   its a funny old world.

    @57a49f9f84b63f83325250e71ebba9a7:disqus another crushing blow to conspiracy theorists is that when they landed they placed mirrors on the surface of the moon which are still there today in order to be able to calculate the exact distance of the moon by shining a laser at these mirrors. That is proof that we were there.

    Unwatchable.  Truly ridiculous.  It amazes me that there are people who are willing to put in the time and effort to make documentaries attempting to cast doubt on it, but they are not willing to read a few junior-high level science articles that would clear up the doubts they have.  I guess it’s more fun to live in world where evil conspiracies rule, aliens abduct people, and Chupacabras rule the Latin American countryside.

    What a boneheaded documentary. Every single point should offend anyone with a little knowledge of the Apollo program, and the rest of the world at that time. What about the fact that if you set up a large enough telescope, you can see the lander, rover, and even the footprints on the moon’s surface?

         For all the youngsters out there that don’t believe there was moon landings (conspiracy) my advice is to concentrate on the assassination of JFK and the events of 9 11. Since we haven’t returned to the moon in 40 years, it is easy to understand why the youth don’t believe it happened. For the record, if mankind wanted to return to the moon, it would take a 10 year concerted effort like it did last time because we gave up all the knowledge to concentrate on the space shuttle program. With that said, we could probably successfully send people to Mars, but the effort would be folly, at least until we can go back and forth to the moon as easily as we fly across the ocean. Besides, there are many things the moon has that we need (helium for example) and if there was any problems, there is a chance for survival and rescue, none of which is at all possible on a Mars Journey.

    LRO has taken very nice images of the moon and you can clearly see the markings of the lunar activities that took place. Why the hell are you even discussing this? There is no discussion since you have been and always will be proven wrong. Even if you personally don’t accept defeat, I take pride in the fact that we as a human race won and conquered the moon in the late ’60s.

      I don’t know enough about physics and space but It doesn’t make sense to believe something happened just because a bunch of people said so. Also, the documentary makes some pretty great arguments against it happening. It also makes no sense for you to take pride in an accomplishment that you had no part in, even though you are a part of the human race. So unless you have enough knowledge on all of the subjects that would go into proving the moon landing, I would say that your comment really has no point other than to add to the many comments just saying that it’s stupid to say that it might not have happened.

    I had a thought about this, the lunar lander had two batteries, with a total of just under 18000 watts, i wondered if that was actually enough power to run all the systems on the lunar lander for two days ?  after all, they had to shut down almost all systems on the lunar lander, when they used it as a lifeboat for 3 days.

    Also, the temperature of space is near absolute zero, as anyone knows who owns a car, a battery can rapidly lose upto 50% of its charge in cold weather and in a single night, how did they prevent this ?  as the lunar lander plans, show the batteries are easily exposed to the outside cold of space.  Imagine if the batteries had lost half there charge ?  it would have spelled almost certain death to the astronauts, and even if not, i dont think 18000 watts could run all the systems, esp the heaters and coolers for two days on the moon.

    I believe they may have orbited the moon, i dont think that was beyond there capabilities at the time, they simply went into orbit around the moon, waited 2 or 3 days, then came back.
    The thing which caused nasa the greatest problems of all, was the lunar lander, and i dont think they ever did get it to work.
    The astronauts definetely went into space, they also talk as if they went to the moon, but it becomes quite murky when you actually get to ‘having landed on the moon itself’, for which most evidence seems to suggest they did not.  I suspect moon rocks were gathered from antartica, and other meteorite collectors, and all signs of them having been on the earth erased, which is perfectly possible.  The moon photo’s and video, seem too good and too ‘staged’
    To consider the immense difficulty of first getting down to the moon in this uncontrolable lunar lander, and the even more difficult getting off the moon and docking with the command module, in 1969 ?  Its a highly risky manouvre today with specialised computer systems and guidance lasers.

    I do not understand how people can say that the moon landing was a waste of time, some of the biggest technological breakthroughs have been made because of our curiosity of space. Cell phones because of black holes research, satellite dish, kidney dialysis machine, cordless tools, bar codes, fire resistant fabric. Not to mention that the space race (The only constructive thing to come out of the cold war) fired up the imagination of kids in that generation to actually pursue the sciences and math. Which in turn lead to further innovation in the US. That is the problem with today’s kids in this country, they’re lazy and have no interest except in living for the moment. Speaking as someone who just finished doing his BS in Mech. Eng. too many kids are worried about trivial things and not the important things, like research and development. You want to know where all the jobs in America went? They went to kids in other countries that are working hard, instead of losers here watching stupid shows and wasting their time dropping out of high school. And if you honestly believe that achieving a feat like putting a MAN on the MOOD was a waste of money, you must either not be aware of all the good that it has done, or simply do not care to find out, either ways, better start learning to speak Chinese man, cause that is what it would come to if we do not get our act together.
