Re: Moon Landings Faked?

Personally, I think its very possible that it was faked. The U.S. government definitley had a motive to fake it. If you disagree with that, then you're a moron. You can't deny the space race. Plus there was OVERWHELMING evidence suggesting that it was faked. The biggest piece of evidence, in my opinion, was the the flag blowing in the wind. NASA and Space.com tried to say it was blowing cause they made it with wire. That don't explain crap about why it was blowing. There is way more evidence, like how was a footprint left behind if theres no water on the moon. And why the astronauts weren't affected by the radiation. Or why objects in the picture were actually in front of the crosshairs in the picture. Another big one was why there were no stars out in the vast ocean of space in the background. Plus a bunch of people connected to NASA and the U.S. government died right before they were about to go public with doubt about the moon landing. There is so much evidence its not even funny. NASA and Space.com TRY to sidestep the accusations, but they do an extremely piss poor job of it.
There was/is not ANY evidence that is was faked. NONE whatsoever. You do realize that every question (or supposed 'proof') you've said has been asked by amateur's for years...and can be answered by a simple google search?
I'm not trying to embarrass you or anything. Here are few answers to your questions:
1) Radiation-The astronauts were not signficantly affected by radiation exposure because they were shielded. The aluminum hull of the spacecraft protected them while going through the Van Allen radiation belts. The radiation is much less on the lunar surface, but they were still insulated enough.
2) No stars- The faint light of the stars cannot be picked up even on earth with that camera. The exposure time was much too short. This is basic photography. If you don't believe me, go outside with your personal camera (much better than they had in this 60s and 70s by the way) and take a picture of the sky. Tell me how many stars show up? None.
3) "Plus a bunch of people connected to NASA and the U.S. government died" what are you even talking about? Do you have a source? How would you know this?
The fact that this is your first post leads me to believe you are just another conspiracy theorist looking for proof to support his claims. Unfortunately for you, no one has found any credible evidence in 40 years that the Apollo missions were not 100% real and authentic.
Anyways, your misunderstand (or purposely ignored) answers to the questions are irrelevant to the broader aspect of the lunar landings. I'm sure you've heard some of these facts before, but really take a hard look at them:
400,000 people and contractors worked on Apollo. In 40 years, no deathbed confessions, nothing.
The Soviets followed us via spy satellites all the way to the moon. They had every reason to hate us and expose a fraud, yet even they agree that we landed.
We picked up 840 lbs of moonrock that could only have come from the moon (moonrocks have a unique 40% oxygen by mass signature, this is not found on earth). These rocks have been verified by scientists throughout the world and not ONE single geologist has ever raised doubts.
There are also a handful of satellites (NASA, Japanese, Indian, and Russian) that have photographed the lunar modules and astronauts footpaths still on the moon. You can even see these for yourself if you google "LRO apollo photos".
None of these things could be anything but the truth. It's not that I trust NASA or the government, it's that they don't have the capability to "fake" any of these previous things I mentioned. The only course of action is to agree with the scientific community, experts and PHDs around the world, who are 100% certain that man landed on the moon. This has nothing to do with politics, what you think about conspiracies, anything. It's just fact.
Google search the satellite photos of the moon. You can see for yourself that the LM's, the astronauts footpaths, and scientific equipment is all still there. Case closed.
