I dont see why anyone would want to go to the moon anyways. we got enough problems down here that was dont need ot make any new ones through space travel.

We devinetly landed on the moon. What about the flag thing. If it were on earth it would've gone down by gravity but it was straight still and made of nylon, cause they could bend it easily.

I heard somewhere..I think the history Channel....That WE did land on the Moon...but we didn' get any footage of it....No cameras were recording the event on landing on the moon...So they made a fakw alnding on the moon...to make it to the people that he landed on the moon....If not then it would be a secret cause no footage of landing on the moon was taken...

P.S.If you notice that in the fake lunar landing it shows a camera on the moon...then it shows the Lunar Lander Land on the moon....they couldn't of blasted a camera into the moon....

There's really no different between the sky on the Moon and the sky during day time on Earth.  The fact that the sky on Earth is blue because of the atmosphere and it is black on the Moon makes no difference.   You cannot see stars during the day.

The lunar surface is very bright.  Brighter than the brightest day in the hottest part of the world.  This is obvious when you think about it.  There are no atmosphere or clouds on the moon.   In comparison to this bright surface, the stars are very dim. 

It is very difficult to get a photograph of a very dim object and a very bright object at the same time.  If you set the camera to take a photograph of the bright object (using a fast exposure) you won't capture the dim object at all.  If you set the camera to take a picture of the dim objects, then the bright objects will appear as very fuzzy and over-exposed blobs.

The cameras and films the Apollo missions took with them were also designed to photograph activities on the moon's surface.  They were not designed to take photographs of the stars.   It doesn't mean the stars weren't there, just that the photographs did not capture them.   The exposures were set to work with the brightly light surface and astronauts.

This is one of the most common questions about the Apollo landings and is often used as evidence of a hoax.  Fortunately there is nothing peculiar about what we can see here at all.  Not if we remember this is happening on the moon.

Firstly the flag had a horizontal bar attached to it at the top.  This was done so that the flag would stand out from the flagpole.  NASA appreciated that there would be no wind on the moon, so any normal flag would just hang limply and unattractively down the pole.   To make things look better they added a bar that stood out at 90 degrees from the pole.  The flag was really hanging from this, rather than from the pole.  The bar was also not quite the full width of the flag, so that it was slightly furled to give a 'wave look' to it.

The moon's surface, once you get past the thin layer of dust, is very hard.  So getting the flagpole to stick in was a tough job.  The footage shows the astronaut twisting the pole back and forth in order to try and get it further into the ground.    This movement made the attached bar and flag flutter.

The flagpole itself was light aluminium that is quite springy.  Even once the astronaut let go the pole would continue to vibrate.  This in turn would shake the bar and flap the flag.  Without any air to dampen this it would continue to do so for longer than you might expect.

This can be done by just about anyone. Ok, maybe not everyone, but plenty have done it and it proves men have been up there.

Basically all you do is buy a laser and a detector and a light collecting mirror. Then you fire it at a precise point on the moon. There is a reflecting prism there that acts like a mirror, placed by Apollo astronauts. Now if there was nothing at that point but rock that would be the last you would see of your laser. But time and time again scientist have been getting their laser reflected back. Indeed, they have done a number of experiments using these reflectors. This experiment has provided a very accurate method of measuring the distance to the moon. Due to these measurements we can now tell that the moon is actually steadily receding from the Earth.
