A Hoax for the Folks
Was the moon landing a hoax? Why was America able to go in the 1900s but not today?There are many reasons why the moon landing was faked. Some reasons and examples the moon landing was a hoax are the Van Allen Radiation Belt or the ‘C’ rock. These reasons are proven by a number of sites and people. Most of the facts go against NASA and the “real moon landing”. The moving flag, multiple light sources, props, and duplicate backgrounds have all been analyzed and compared to a series of other tests. The U.S.A flag should not have been moving, because there was no wind or oxygen. Multiple shadows have been spotted suggesting and proving there were stage lights. Even duplicate backgrounds are spotted between multiple

The astronaut’s shadows are facing multiple directions , which implicates there were studio lights set up. The astronauts’ shadows were also facing multiple directions, which also suggests multiple light sources other than just the sun. The effect of wires and slow motion editing fake zero gravity. Even props in photographs like a rock with a ‘C’ on it. Duplicate backgrounds are also shown in multiple pictures of different Apollo missions.(Josh Fox) Stanley Kubrick, the supposed director of the hoax, came out to a newspaper and conceded to directing the moon landing. Kubrick was interviewed four days before his death by T. Patrick Murray. Kubrick explains that the government wanted to fulfill “Kennedy’s prophecy”. Kubrick even verified that he had assisted in the making of Apollo 11 and Apollo 12. NASA attempts to push the conspiracy out of the way by saying there was an actor being Stanley in the interview.(Jon Austin) In conclusion the moon landing was fake. It was fake because of all the facts against the moon landing. Kubrick confessed, the space radioactive microwave the Van Allen Belt, and even props. Imagine inventing machine guns in the Civil War. Just ask how NASA was able to go to the moon before nanotechnology. That is why the moon landing is a hoax for the
John F. Kennedy once said, "No nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space...We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard”. The main motive for this quote was to ensure that the United States wanted to beat out the Soviets in the space race. Ever since the Soviets tried to advance on the moon, the United States wanted to be the first successful nation to accomplish the first ever moon landing. At the time, the tension between the United States and the Soviets was very strong because the Cold War just ended and neither nation wanted to lose to each other in the space race. Just as the
The moon landing was not faked because so many people were involved. First off, this because Joshua Barajas from PBS said, "an estimated 405,000 people involved." This proves my point because if the moon landing was faked, this many people could not keep a secret for this long. If the moon landing was faked, this should have been exposed in less than 10 years. Furthermore, Nixon Library says that, "An estimated 600 million people watched the moon landing." If this many people watched it, they would have found out real proof that the moon landing is faked. Because of these reasons, the moon landing could not have been faked.
Was the Moon landing real or a hoax? The moon landing was a major scientific breakthrough and a great day for America. The problem is, it might’ve been faked. There are many pieces of evidence showing that it could have been faked but there is also evidence showing that the moon landing could have also been real. I believe that the moon landing was not a hoax. The flag was blowing in the wind but how was it supposed to stop if there is no friction on the moon? The astronauts' shadows don’t match the lunar light source because there was a matte box on the camera . That there were absolutely no stars in the sky because the pictures were taken during the day.
Conspiracy theories are everywhere. It seems that for every event in to have taken place in history, there is a group of individuals saying that it is a government conspiracy. There are conspiracy theories regarding the 9/11 attacks, presidential assassinations, Area 51, Jimmy Hoffa, the English crown and Elvis. The list is endless. In this paper we are going to discuss the moon landing conspiracy. Apparently there are people who believe the entire moon landing was a hoax. They believe that we did not actually land on the moon, but produced the event in a movie studio so that we would be able to beat Russia in the great “Space Race”. These people have taken all the evidence from the moon landing and analyzed ever aspect and tried to
On July 20, 1969, astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, and Michael Collins, achieved what is, perhaps, the greatest feat of mankind, landing and exploring the surface of the moon. However, some conspiracy theorists believe that NASA had pulled off the greatest hoax of all time. Thes conspiracy theorists may have convincing evidence, but all their accusations can be proven false through research and science.
And why the Soviets (also in the space race to get to the moon) did not show any signs of protest? Every conspiracy theory about the Lunar Landing can be posed, but every single one has a logical retaliation, backed up by nothing but scientific fact.
Many accomplishments throughout the years, in the United States have formed our country to a nationalist society. On July 20th, 1969, the Mission Control Center in Houston, Texas received the call, “Houston”, which confirmed the landing of these three astronauts on the moon. Recently though, many discussions of the Apollo 11 mission have astonished thoughts of many Americans. Conspiracy theorists are looking at the Moon Landing as a hoax and one big set up that Americans were fooled into believing actually happened. In 1974, Bill Kasying wrote a book entitled We Never Went to the Moon:
Conspiracy theories have been around since the beginning of time. When NASA sent the first landed on the moon, there are people who believed that NASA faked the moon landings. Men, such as Bill Kaysing, the Flat Earth Society, and Davie Groves, and Bart Sibrel, have written books, delivered lectures, and made videos about why they believed NASA faked the moon landings. Based on their observations which include no stars in their pictures, NASA's drive to beat the Russians to the moon, and a way to distract people from the Vietnam war, the group believes that the moon landings were faked.
It wasn 't until I really sat down and thought about it that I realized the moon landing was questionable. As a kid I always thought it would be amazing to be an astronaut so the thought that maybe there is no real astronauts at all had me concerned. On July 20th 1969, the Apollo 11 with astronaut Neil Armstrong and his crew, guided by thousands of NASA technicians, supposedly landed in the surface of the moon. This landing at its time was considered the most amazing technological advancement in the history of mankind. The moon landing is something that everyone knows about but as it turns out about 20% americans and 50% or Ukrainians don 't believe the moon landing really happened, here 's why.
One last thing I have that proves the moon landings are real is astronauts placed mirrors on the moon so lasers could reflect back down to Earth. That’s not the only thing they did though. The lunar buggy (the vehicle Neil Armstrong used to travel moon's surface) tracks are still there. There are pictures that were taken from satellite or other astronauts. Finally, in 2007 Japan saw marks on the moon from satellite that show were the american mission
There is physical evidence that can prove on how the moon landing is a hoax. One of the popular evidences that it is a hoax is that in the videos and pictures of the men on the moon, in the distance of space there is absolutely no stars in sight. “The photographs on the moon don't show any stars in the sky,” (5 Goofy Moon landing Hoax Theories, 2017 p.30). That is why a lot of people believed this was faked and filmed in a studio. The second piece of physical evidence is how when they stuck the American flag in the ground it was waving like there is wind in space. “There's no wind on the moon, so how come the flag was blowing in a breeze?” (5 Goofy Moon landing Hoax Theories, 2017 p.30). On the moon there is no atmosphere like here on earth so there can't be any reasonable explanation as to why the flags moving but NASA has tried. The final part of my physical evidence is one of the most famous. In a picture from the astronauts there is a moon rock
The Apollo 11 mission of 1969 marks the biggest leap in technological advancements for humanity. Neil Armstrong is seen taking the first steps on the moon forever making his mark in humanity. However, theories surrounding the moon landing have come to light. Conspiracy theorists say NASA, the National Aeronautics Space Administration, have faked the Apollo 11 moon landing. Yet, present evidence can support the authenticity of the moon landing. Evidence such as photos, rock samples, technology, and computer monitoring support the moon landing. The moon landing of 1969 did happen.
In conclusion, one who reads this can clearly see that, by these terms, there is clear evidence that we did in fact walk on the moon. The exact evidence of the mineral makeup of Moon Rocks is convicting and practical evidence. Also, there is the common sense part. If the United States didn?t go to the moon, and produced fake moon rocks, Russian scientists would have a say about it, saying as though we went to the moon at the height of the cold war, and produced Moon Rocks that could be tested by any scientist.
First, there are many reasons why the United States government and NASA would have wanted to fake the first Moon landing perhaps the most important reason is to win the "space race" with the Soviet Union. The United States government deemed it vital that it win the Space Race against the Soviet Union. Going to the Moon would be risky and expensive, as exemplified by President John F. Kennedy famously stating in a 1962 speech that the United States chose to go because it was hard. This was the height of the cold war, and the Soviet Union was watching the USA really closely, especially in matters on space travel. The Soviet Union had both the technology and resources to see every single moment of any space mission performed by the USA and NASA. Since this was a time of showing
Was the moon landing a fake? How did we have the technology to send a rocket as well as people to the space? The footprint on the moon didn’t match that of Armstrong's boot, where’d this tread pattern left on the footprint come from? These are just some questions that are asked about the moon landing. Was it real or fake? You could research this topic on many different webpages, books, and personal opinions but will it ever bring us closer to the truth? Also can you trust what you read or heard from someone or a website. The moon landing was a hoax based on many different facts and accusations.
