    They had the technology to land unmanned craft on the moon then so the mirrors are not proof that there were people on the moon.

    Google "surveyor moon".

    I have always wondered, after all these years, how come, we have not sent a few habitat modules to the moon in preparation for sending new batches of people....we should get our technology straight before going to Mars.

    KmGuru: Getting a manned craft to the moon with the equipment to do some expoloring outside the space craft is an amazing feat.

    It is at least an order of magnitude more difficult, costly, & resource consming to get enough material, food, tools, et cetera for the building & maintenance of a living habitat on the moon.

    Because getting us to the Moon cost 5% of the federal budget each year for eight years. NASA hasn't seen that kind of money for thirty-plus years. Congress cut NASA down to 0.5% of the federal budget in the early seventies (thanks, Republicans; they cut the program largely because it was viewed as a Democratic program). The budget has stayed at that paltry level ever since (thanks Democrats, who now see NASA funding as a threat to welfare, and thanks Republicans, who now see NASA funding as a threat to fighting in Iraq).

    Three-plus Apollo missions to the Moon were canceled as a result of the cuts. Parts of one of the vehicles was eventually launched as Skylab. The remaining two complete vehicles and parts of the third are now very large lawn ornaments and museum exhibits at Johnson Space Center, Michoud Assembly Facility, Kennedy Space Center, and the National Air and Space Museum.

    Astronauts did go to the moon but the return to Earth splashdowns were faked in that the real spacecraft never returned. All lunar astronauts were unknowingly on a one way trip. That's why each mission went to a different landing area. CIA trained look-a-likes assumed the Earthly roles of each non returning astronaut. The Apollo 13 crew were purposely crashed on the dark side of the moon to avoid them returning..

    You want evidence: Look at Armstrong, never sought out celebrity status, became reclusive, moved to a farm and him and his wife dissolved their marriage. Do you think she knew something? And how about Aldrin, 3 marriages and booze problems after his so-called return...same guy that left for the moon? Don't you believe it!

    If the landing was faked, what about the rockets going up? Where did they go?

    They went to the moon, landed, astronauts did their thing, took pictures. The astronauts thought they were returning but they are still on the moon inside their landing craft. Remember Gus Grissom and crew, supposed to be the first guys to go to the moon. They were killed in an apparent testing accident but what the powers to be didn't tell you was that they were experimenting with ways to kill the atronauts humanely once they completed their lunar surface work..

    Are you saying the technology does not exist or that did not exist to lift the lunar lander from such low gravity of moon to connect to the transporter in the orbit?

    This could be the greatest hoax in the human history next to 9/11 - or the nutttiest idea ever....

    The Chinese Lunar orbiter cost $187 million. The Japanse will be sending a moon lander at $487 Million in 2015. Mars polar lander Phoenix cost $420 million. NASA budget is $14 Billion per year, not counting special projects.So I am sure it would not break the bank to send a few habitat modules first.....

    You aught to count the number of people that;
    Believe there is a lochness Monster,
    Believe that Elvis still lives,
    Are waiting for the Second Coming of Christ,
    Believe the Earth is flat,
    Believe that evolution was Darwin making a Monkey out of us,
    Believe that Roswell was Extraterrestrials Crash landing on Earth. (They can navigate all that hostile cold absence of space, but forget to put their landing gear down when landing.)
    Believe that their is a God or Devil.
    Believe that Iraq had WMD's.
    the list goes on....

    People love to latch onto certain conspiracies from time to time because perhaps it makes them feel more self important, perhaps they delusionally see it a reality and in the very rare cases perhaps it is a reality... however those rare cases require a lot of consistent proof to back up the claim.

    Ok then, if you don't believe that Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong went to the moon, are you suggesting that all 'supposed' visits in the 40 years afterwards were equally as false?

    Armstrong was a talented astronaut, but a lousy photographer.
