I have a problem.
I have an enquiring mind but simply cant accept any information presented to me as fact by the government/churches/media without establishing the facts and applying my own logical thought process.
I know not believing in the moon landings is an established "conspiracy theory" (a phrase so often used to poo poo any thoughts that that are not consistent with accepted fact). I find it incredibly difficult to believe that the moon landings happened.
My main reasons are:
1. I dont believe we had the technology 40 years ago.
2. We have made remarkably little progress since.
3. The imperatives to succeed in this venture were sufficiently overwhelming to justify deception.
What do you think?

There have been several investigative documentaries about a fake landing and they've all concluded that it was real.
The technology was very low in comparison to today's, but electronic navigation, rocket attitude correction etc were already established technologies from the mid 1940's (Werner Von Braun).
Much progress has been made since, but very few manned missions have taken place. Many remote drones have been used since to sample the Moon's geology/topography. Humans just don't need to go anymore, they're "excess weight" to the mission, also the costs are getting harder to justify with very little return.

Dg Come here for a spanking. Nothing to do with your previous post, I just fancy it to be honest... ;-)
As for the moonlandings... It does seem fantastical to consider how far we have come and yet for all the advances we have made with technology, we are still some way off being able to replicate effectively what happened (or was faked!) in 1969.
There's one bit in Apollo 13 that sums it up for me, when they have to work out the Gimbal angles to transfer from one computer to the other, and they have to do this entirely using slide rules and mental maths! Now there's pressure for you trigonometry fans.
I do love a good conspiracy theory but for me I do think the landings took place. I believe their real value was primarily political and did little to advance scientific knowledge and technology in a meaningful sense and the prohibitive cost I think has put future governments off replicating it.
That said, there are some interesting anomalies in the moon pictures that experts have queried.

Go on Sassy... I'd love to hear what you think, plus we get to look at your avatar while we read it too.
Is that a full moon or half? ;-)

We must have been there.
I remember reading in a quality newspaper (sunday sport) about 30 years ago that they'd found a world war 2 bomber on the moon so it must be true.:lol: :lol: :lol:
naaaaaaaaaaaa it was a double decker bus :shock: and if it was in the sunday sport it must have been true :shock:
wash my mouth out with soap and water i dont buy a rag like that , i am a sunday times man

Oh that's just a half moon
though if I took my knickers off it'd be a total eclipse 
And if you bent over to pick them up there'd be a black hole :haha:

nah i dont believe the moon landings happened ,i believe it was just to get one over the russians in the space race....but hey i believe in the stargate programe so dont take my word for it lol
America was not able to get to the moon on its own as they required telemetry for positioningof the orbiter and lander when they didnt face the moon, hence they used the assitance of the Soviet Union and Australia, since it was the height of the cold war the Soviets would have loved to prove the Americans were lying.
When you look at the evidence that was required to be faked and the amount of people you would have to buy off the most cost effective solution is to go to the moon.
We don't go there anymore coz we don't need to...robotic landers are lot easier and doesn't cost lives if something goes wrong.

the Americans put a nice big mirror on the moon so we could fire a laser at it and tell that the moon is moving away from the earth at about 4 inches a year any body can fire there lasers from there observatories from any country . as was said before the Soviet Union would love to have disproved them but the evidence is just to strong for them

I agree...we should go to Button Moon instead.
