There has been race head-to-head to the moon between Russia and the USA and thats during the cold war. What do you think thr Russians would have done, if there has been any doubt about the luna landing? Sitting aorund and doing nothing?
And think about all the people, who had to be involved into that fake?
It must have been hundreds or thousands and everbody (including their relatives) keeps the silent until today? Not really.
And does anybody really believe, that the NASA scientist (by the way, the NASA is a space organisation. They have to do know, what the space looks like) are stupid enough, to make such stupid mistakes like a wrong illumination?
I've never heard an argumant against the luna landing, which couldn't be explained with a logical explanation. For example the missing stars on many photos. Shouldn't there be millions of stars in the background? Of course the luna sky is full of stars, but because of the short shutter time of the camera they aren't visible on the photos. You may call it a lie, but this explanation is much more traceable than the idea of a faked luna landing.
Quote:I havent nor plan to read this whole thread but I must say one thing. When the lunar modules of the space crafts during the apollo missions blasted off of the moons surface...they left their "landing gear" behind...a quite large quadrapod type assembly. I have to believe that any of the large land based telescopes on earth could easily see these things. This makes it rather unlikely that it was faked simply because it would be so easy to demonstrate if they were.
There'll be a (afaik japanese) mission in the next few years, that will look after the landing module as a secondery task.
