The amount of people involved, who would have had to been in on the lie would be massive. I think keeping that many people quiet for this long would have been more of a challenge then landing on the moon.

Yeh but wasn't the USA in a race to beat the Russians, maybe the amount of people who were in on the hoax may have been very minimal, Hollywood at its best.


Just a thought of course.

Before anyone trots out some of the "evidence" put forward by the conspiracy theorists, I hope they read these sites and dozens of others that thoroughly debunk the claim that the landing was faked.

A quiet night in Darwin Ean? Ideal for a bit of trolling?

It was no hoax. the Yanks did reach the moon, several times actually. What was amazing was the technology of the time was nothing like we have now.

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.

nah Ian, they had an astronaut on the 7.30 report and he said he remembered as a kid seeing the moon landing on TV and went outside and looked at the moon to see if he could see them...as a kid would.
It reminded me of the movie and hence the thread, no intent on starting any form of argumentive thread. Hopefully it wont fall into a political debate .
