According to Dave Cosnette and countless other conspiracy theorists, the 1969 Apollo 11 mission never went to the moon and several say never left Earth’s atmosphere. The theories range from the crew never leaving Earth to the crew only getting into the orbit of the moon. Their evidence consists of anomalies found in the footage captured by the crew on the moon as well as in space, technology at the time of the mission, and numerous natural phenomena that the crew would have to overcome to land on the moon. Their arguments depend on low quality video and photographs, along with limited insight due to a lack of credentials and knowledge on the events and physics. Some “evidence” commonly used by conspiracy theorists are the shadows in the film, lack of stars while on the moon, the Van Allen belt, and many more anomalies that may not even be relevant to the mission itself. The conspiracy theory that will be discussed is the one where the mission never left the lower atmosphere of Earth proven by anomalies in the film along with the “impassable” Van Allen radiation belt (Cosnette 1). The “evidence” presented by those who believe that the Apollo missions were a hoax do not hold any water against scientific inquiry. The first piece of evidence to regard is the deadly Van Allen belt. The majority of conspiracy theorists will say that the amount of radiation that the crew would have received while in the belt would have almost instantly killed them. Usually offering
What if the first moon landing by America was all a hoax? Three American Astronauts named Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. These men flew on the Apollo 11 and are famous for being the first men to step on the moon. One of the biggest conspiracy theories is that the whole 1969 Moon landing was all faked and filmed in a studio in Hollywood, California. The Moon landing in 1969 supposedly did not happen and there is documentation evidence, experts testimony, and physical evidence to prove that it did not happen.
A subject that recently has caught the attention of many around the world is Policing and all that comes with it. There are countless people with opinions for either side of the argument. One case in particular that has drawn a lot of controversy is the case of 18 year old Michael Brown. He was killed August 9, 2014, in Ferguson, Missouri, a northern Suburb of St. Louis. Brown, an 18-year-old black man, was fatally shot by Darren Wilson, 28, a white Ferguson police officer. Before the incident with Darren Wilson Michael Brown was seen with Dorian Johnson at a convenience store taking multiple packages of cigarillos. Wilson had been notified by police dispatch of the robbery and descriptions of the two suspects. He encountered Brown and Johnson as they were walking down
The 1976 book, “We Never Went to the Moon”, by Bill Kaysing attracts a different type of audience in comparison to Sibrel. The title of this book has a more serious tone as it making a clear claim that “we”, the United States have never been to the moon. The audience of this text is targeted towards adults who have a deep understanding of science, specifically science related to space objects and their interactions, along with those are very curious about the moon landing. In the beginning of the book, the author specifically mentions that only thirty percent of adults believe that the landing was staged, meaning the author is trying to convince the rest of the adults in the country, who are the audience of the book. Also, the book contains historical context detailing how rockets originated to give the readers information of how space rockets started before diving into the moon landing speculation. Next, many pictures of the laboratories used to construct and test space rockets are shown so that reader understands the process it took to get there. The book is targeting those want to learn more than just evidence of the staging of the landing. Throughout
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.
NASA never made clear plans to return from the Apollo 11 mission. NASA officials stated how long the mission would take, who was involved, when the astronauts would leave and when the astronauts would land in space. NASA never released when the astronauts were to return back from space, or how long that would take. It is suspicious for many people who are just starting to look at the conspiracy because the NASA officials in charge of the mission should have given those plans ahead of time. NASA stated that the tasks would be done in 102 to 103 hours after takeoff, but never said when the astronauts would
The Moon landings during the 1960’s and 1970’s were the largest world events at the time. Millions of people tuned in to watch them, but many believe that the events never even took place. For decades conspiracy theorists have been trying to solve the case, believing the Moon landing to be a total hoax. Statistics show that Americans between 18-24 years old are the largest percentage that believes the Moon landings did not occur (Why do People Persist in Denying the Moon Landings?). For those who do not believe in the Moon landings, Apollo 17 astronaut Harrison Schmitt says, “If people decide they’re going to deny the facts of history and the facts of science and technology, there’s not much you can do with them.
Conspiracy theories have caused people to question everything the government tells them for hundreds of years. A conspiracy theory is an explanation of an event or situation that invokes a conspiracy without warrant. Conspiracy theories generally involve an illegal or harmful act carried out by the government or other powerful actors.The Moon landing is still one of the biggest conspiracy theories in the world. After forty-eight years it is still being debated and discussed in many laboratories, and classrooms across the globe.On July 20, 1969, two American astronauts by the name of Neil Armstrong, and Buzz Aldrin allegedly, landed safely on the moon. The entire world was shocked, especially the Soviet Union. On that day many people were
Some Americans now ask, "Was the moon landing a hoax?" Is this actually possible; would the U.S. government lie to our nation, let alone the whole world? The answer, no, should jump out. Hoax believers (HBs) thought they researched this thoroughly and gained enough evidence to prove that the moon landing was a hoax, but they don't know jack! Their whole case can be compared to a brick house with one difference. It seems like the bricks have all the corners, sides, and shape of a house. The evidence seems to be very strong, but the bricks are only one dimensional. All the "supposed" evidence crumbles after a little research. In this report I will show HBs falsified case along with the truth.
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
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.

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.
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.
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.
‘’Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek’’ – Barack Obama. Throughout the short story “Van Winkle” by Washington Irving, the author uses imagery by putting the reader in Rip’s shoes as he undergoes a deep 20-year slumber where he enters his slumber as an antagonist and comes out as a protagonist, showing the story’s major theme is time and how time can change people. First off, Rip Van Winkle is a man who felt more sorrow than anger is his everyday life.
