I think it is possible. I'm not sure what I believe on the subject yet. I do wonder why we haven't advanced our space program much as far as more humans setting foot on the moon and research for a Mars trip.
I've seen pictures of the moon landing that are supposedly faked because of certain details in the picture, like a rock overlapping the crosshairs on the camera...and I can't remember what else. I would like to be confident that NASA and Neil Armstrong and everyone aren't lying to us though. But as far as COULD moon landings have been faked----yes, they could have been.

I suppose they could have been faked, but I'd like to at least believe in ONE thing where the government hasn't shammed us!

Em. Tough question.

Well the first man on space was Russian.
So em..
During those years USA and Russia was going through cold war. Since russians had already progressed the winner of the war would be determined for the most challenging duty. Not to mention that President Kennedy had a dream ...
So in order to win the war and become glorious in the eyes of the public "maybe we can do it" they sad.

I really dont think that they had the technology at the time. At the time there few news agencies like what we have to day Royters an stuff like that. And the filmings were provided only to one agency. So the less ppl know about it the better the secret is kept.

So IF YOU CANT MAKE IT ... Fake it

why not hugh?

I just remember noticing how the flag was blowing in the breeze on the moon landing and thinking how is that possible without gravity and no atmosphere!

I always thought it was. The reason being is that we haven't attempted to go back. With all our technology today we should have gone back.

Not hardly....... check out the latest photos of the lunar recon mission...it shows the junk we left on the moon.

Could have been. I feel like this was asked recently. I think we had the incentives to fake it if we did.

of course they could have. anything is possible.
I heard that because the American flag was waving in the wind in the video, that means they weren't really on the moon (because the moon has no wind)....but I haven't personally analyzed the videos myself, nor studied the atmosphere of the moon, so I currently have no opinion on the subject.

Just the other day, one of the sattelites took photos of the landing sites an you can see the lander/platform left behind, on the moon.

Nah, I don't believe so.
Having once been trained in transmitter theory and looking up some history, our reception of the moon landing was received by many worldwide receiver stations besides those owned by the US, some of which were even owned by our adversaries in politics, government, and the space race; to have them even "be in on it" to convince all the other "norms" of the world, is beyond even my cynicism of governments; and transmissions like that cannot be faked to "look like" they are from the moon when they are not, either.

Yes.... were they faked? NO, a thousand times NO! Here are a couple of irrefutable facts for those who wish to consider them.
1.) As Dedre mentioned there is no way even today we could have faked the transmission receptivity. No way.
2.) Moon rocks. People have stated that they were potentially lunar meteoroids mined in Alaska. To date less than 14 lbs. of lunar meteoroids have been discovered in the entire USA with none larger than an adult's fist. There were HUNDREDS of pounds of moon rocks returned from the Apollo missions and 50 pounds just from Apollo 11 itself... hundreds of pounds with at least a half dozen samples twice as large as any lunar meteoroid ever found on Earth.
3.) The shots of the Earth 'rising' above the horizon of the Moon came from... where again if not shot from the Moon?
4.) I used to do 'Audio/Visual' professionally in the 1990s and we would have been VERY hard pressed to pull off that kind of perfection in imagery now you're telling me that they did it in early 1969? Rigghhhttt... pull the other one.
5.) People say 'but you can't see any stars... where are the stars?" Okay... ask a photographer about exposure time, white balance, etc. and then you'll know.
6.) Particulate matter (i.e. lunar dust) as Lord Robert noted that dust reacts in a very specific way that is ONLY possible in vacuum or near vacuum.
7.) Thousands of people worked on the Apollo missions with a direct information on telemetry, etc. from the space craft (including my Uncle) and you're telling me that they ALL kept the secret... we can't even keep who is in the CIA secret and you think we could have kept a faked Moon landing secret? The US Government can't even pave roads properly, let a hurricane (which by it's very nature you KNOW is coming) wash away the gulf coast states, and that SAME US Government in the late 1960s couldn't properly invade an island nation (Cuba) that is 90 friggin' miles off the coast of Florida... you think they could have faked out the entire world on something the USSR would LOVE to have caught us at?
8.) All the footage of the moon surface shot from the lander as it was coming down for touchdown was clearly not faked, and 'getting to the Moon and returning to Earth' is 99% of the battle... once you are there landing is pretty straight forward.
9.) Now that we (and many other countries) have begun to revisit the Moon there many photos taken of the equipment we left behind. Some of those photos taken by countries that would love to have embarrassed the USA by taking photos of the 'supposed' landing site and published them with nothing there... are there any such photos? No.
10.) Lastly, the famous 'waving flag'... NASA pointed out that the design of the flag had horizontal bars built throughout the flag in order for it to 'stand up' for pictures. When the astronauts 'planted' that flag the bars were 'waving the flag' as they reacted to the force necessary to plant the thing. Remember... lunar gravity... very little force available to stop the ongoing inertia from the force of planting, and as close to zero 'friction' from atmosphere as is possible short of a perfect vacuum to 'slow' the flags 'waving' motion.

So, can we finally give up this 'hoary old chestnut' of a conspiracy theory and simply admit the USA did something right occasionally and this was most definitely one of those occasions? Please.

If that were faked, then it would be hard to believe in any other national achievements. Loss of faith in the nations might cause suspicion among all individuals. And this would lead to horrible destruction of our magnificent world.

I don't think it was faked but i also think that they got out of the space craft and checked things out before they teleivised it in case something went bad, they didn't want to look bad if they should implode or something, thats why all the foot prints were on the ground around the ship and the flag was flying due to the exhaust on the ship

yes they could. i'm sure that if we have the technology to make movie making equipment then a moon landing could have been faked. but anyone who goes to the moon after that suggested faking can come back to verify that it did or did not happen (and leave us to wonder if the verification was faked or not).

people who start suggestions that the (big mean) government is creating untruths to present to the world for some kind of purpose are people who basically want no government at all. they want to go back all the way to when if you didn't like someone you might just go and club that person to death (and hide the remains and say it didn't happen) hey, murderers do that now. there are also those who suggest the holocaust did not happen.

I suggest that if these people really suspect a faked moon landing rather than try to destroy our society go the the bleeping moon and find out just what really did happen and tell the bleeping truth when they get back.

starting such a rumor is much the same as flying a jet into a large office building. but maybe that was faked too.
