I believe "we" did if for no other reason than the number of people involved in the whole shebang over the last 45 odd years, no-one has let the secret slip.
As stated, it would have been easier to actually go to the moon than keep that many yanks quiet for this long :D

Don't worry some of the Freon gases and stuff I have exposed myself to over the years , I have been way past the moon.

It was indeed an exciting time, when difficulties were overcome (three men died in Apollo 1) and the Yanks set out and achieved it. Yes, there was a race on with the Russians who had a Lunar lander designed, built and ready to go.


The Yanks are now designing a rocket that is even bigger than the Saturn 5 which was used to send men to the moon. It's called the SLS ( Space Launch System) which will lift payloads for deep space missions. One planned mission is in 2022 to send a spacecraft called the "Clipper" to Europa ( a satellite of Jupiter) to search for life.:)

There has been many attempts to portray the lunar landings as a hoax but these attempts have been discredited many times. Over the years there have been many TV programs discussing the lunar landings and hoaxes.:)

My 02c worth, anyway.

ps. I think P38arover had something to do with an Australian antennae system that received man's first messages from the moon.

Obviously not as the purchasing officer, as it worked. ;)

Well not sure what you mean by"we". The Americans alleged they did and I would like to think they did, but what disturbs me is that the flag in all pictures is waving, like in wind in an environment that has no atmosphere. So did they actually make the moon or was it in fact a Capricorn 1?? :angel:

I remember at high school we watched a movie called "Capricorn 1" and it was about a fake moon landing.


I would like to think we did, but always wonder with so many decades having past why haven't we gone back ?


Anyway , just for a topic of a different kind, what do you think.


Did we OR didn't we.


Cheers Ean

Capricorn 1 was about a Mars landing.

Oh, did they land on the moon, of course they did.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the flag had a frame on it to hold it outspread. Once it got jammed into the ground the vibrations up the lightweight pole made the flag look like it was waving. There are plenty of conspiracy debunking websites out there. The NASA one I recall was pretty good.

Ah but to hijack this thread and sort of keep it in the same space (a dad joke) See where the space station crew where out side giving it a buff and polish and I kid you not found real bugs on the windscreen. Ok maybe not the windsceen but on the station they where. Bacteria and a sort of plankton has started to grow. Now is that true? Have they found life in space? Or is it the same mob who faked the moon landing back in business? :)

I did, in a way as I have previously noted, the most recently being back in July when the 45th Anniversary of the landing occurred.

A couple of years later, my wife worked at the NASA Tracking Station in Carnarvon taking photos of the sun to look for solar flares which might preclude ExtraVehicular Activity by astronauts.

I have no doubt that it happened. Anyway I saw it on telly so it had to have happened.

After all the media is always right, isn't it?;)

Didn't someone on this forum report landrover tracks and oil puddles on the moon? :o

But I do remember when an ex astronaut came to Melbourne to sell DC9's to Reg Ansett and my father took him to a Carlton-Collingwood Grand Final with Ted Whitten, (VFL you northern folk).

We were more impressed about getting tickets on a Friday than the fact the guy went to the moon. :angel:

So it's true, I know someone who knows someone. :D
