who thinks that ameriac laned on the moon

america landed"

America landed on the moon? That must have left one heck of an impact crater.

ha ha they didnt go anywhere near the moon, it was a home made video with loads of mistakes. why wasnt there any stars in the sky when surley with no atmosphere they would have been more clear.

Actually, Terry, there were no mistakes on the video that the Americans made while on the moon. There are good explanations for all the apparent anomalies, which you will easily find if you do a bit of searching on the web.

The single best evidence that the Americans were on the Moon is that they left a small mirror device on the surface. An Earth-based science station has been bouncing a laser off this mirror and back to Earth for the last 40 years, constantly measuring the exact distance from Earth to Moon.

HA HA nerd. if the astronauts left their footprints in the dusty surface, why after that big rocket that slowed them down before they got to the surface didnt leave any dust on feet of the craft which would have settled after it would have landed. also the mistakes they made are to obvious i mean why are thier to identicle photos of the same hills when they were meant to have been in two diffrent locations with one showing the lander and the other without it

All these points have been explained. Do you really think you are more intelligent than the guys who were capable of sending a rocket to the moon?

no of course im not, i wouldnt have been able to cover it up as good as they have. but they cant explain why one of the first people who questioned the validity of the mission just happened to have died soon after along with his whole family, and why people who work for nasa deny that it even happend.

I don't know anything about people dying, but I know that all reasonable-minded people accept that it happened. There is no evidence that it didn't happen. All the objections are ridiculous, thought up by ignorant people and easily explained.

well still that mirror was sent by a probe

I suggest you do further research on this.

your a sheep being mislead

I bet you think aliens built the pyramids

It is you that is being misled. Look at the theories. Look at the explanations.

what about the theory that when you leave the earths magnetic field you will get a radiation overload and then loose all your hair, slowly go blind and have a very probable chance of diease.

yet nothing has happened and even russia and china doesnt believe it as there is no way of COMPLETLY stopping radition traveling at the speed off light

Where did you go to school?

Actually, that's true. If you go outside the earth's protective field you will be exposed to lethal radiation, unless you are enclosed in metal. The Apollo astronauts were enclosed in metal. Even then, they notices flashes of light which were caused by cosmic rays hitting their retinas directly - not a good recipe for health.

Hi TerryG

I regret that as Gnomon says, it is you that is being mislead. Mostly by those that want to make a buck out of their books and videos which are aimed at the gullible. Also by those who want you to think that they are somehow cleverer than everyone else and have an inside knowledge that no-one else has yet perceived. You really shouldn't let their ramblings influence you into denying what is arguably one of man's greatest achievements and in which we can all celebrate. At least, not without questioning their claims. If you have an open mind, you will look a bit closer at those claims before simply accepting them against the overwhelming evidence.

If you have a genuine doubt and are not just trying to pull our chains, then I recommend to you that you look at those claims objectively. In which case you will find that they are just so much rubbish based on pseudo-science and selective evidence. In doing so you may also learn something about real science and possibly human nature.
