Moon Landing Conspiracy

Moon Landing

Around the early 1970’s, Neil Armstrong became the first human being to make it to the moon and back safely, or did he? Ever since then, conspiracy theorist have been studying this one question, “Was the moon landing real, or faked?”. No one knows for sure, and frankly very few care, but did the United States really land on the moon, or was it all played out?

I personally believe that the US landed on the moon. I will prove my point throughout this essay by providing evidence, such as proving the facts that don’t support my claim to be wrong, and the facts that support my side to be correct. So those of you on my side here’s some evidence to help you out. Those of you not, keep on reading and you’ll see what I

have to say about the landing being real.

First of all, one piece of evidence going against my claim states that if Neil Armstrong went to the moon, then why is there a perfectly carved “c” in the background on a “moon rock”? To start off, it could’ve just been a coincidence. I ‘d bet that there’s at least a thousand rocks on Earth AND the moon that have a “c” on them! Also, what if it was just a shadow? Even though it looks dark around the moon, the sun is still shining toward it! To finish off this piece of evidence, what if it was just a certain type of rock that they only have on the moon? Everyone should know, what’s on the moon is way different than what’s on Earth! So even if there is a “c” on a rock, what does that prove? Coincidence?

Another weak piece of evidence is that the film should’ve melted on the moon. First of all, the astronauts also should’ve melted, but they were protected. The filming materials could’ve easily been protected as well. Though, you may be thinking, why would they spend more money just to protect film? My rebuttal? I’d bet over half of the nation was watching the moon landing! Not only that, but they obviously sent at least the rocket to space, right? Wouldn’t it cost more money to film a fake moon landing on Earth? So I‘m pretty sure that they would’ve protected the film.

Now that we’ve gone over the weak evidences, let’s look at strong evidences!

One of the strongest pieces of evidence is that the Soviet Union, who was racing us to the moon, couldn’t prove the moon landing was fake themselves! I’m sure they would’ve came up with evidence that it was all faked way before we did, but they didn’t, though for some reason, we did? If the moon landing was faked, why were we the first ones to bring it up, and not our own enemies?

The next strong piece of evidence is that if you look at modern pictures of the moon, you’ll see lunar buggy tracks that were left by the landing. You may be asking, “Wouldn’t the tracks be gone, or blown away by now?”. My argument is that there is no wind on the moon, right? So how would the tracks get blown away? I guess the United States could have edited the picture, but in that case, more people would’ve argued the fact with the new high-definition telescopes. Therefore, at least a lunar buggy landed on the moon!

Also, astronauts found parts from surveyor, a test ship that crashed directly into the moon, and brought back three parts. I know that I would believe something if there was proof like that! I’m also pretty sure that NASA would know what parts there were, and could prove it by the

blueprints.

Finally, if the moon landing was faked, a ton of people would have to keep a ginormous secret! With all the people who worked for NASA, and people that watched the take off and people who saw it land, I seriously doubt that they wouldn’t have “spilled the beans”. I’m sure a lot of those people have originated, been to, or have family in a different country. So it’d be hard to lie!

To conclude my essay, I want to mention again, Neil Armstrong was a brave man to take “One small step for man, and one giant leap for mankind!”, or was he? This is where you make your pick: was the moon landing legitimate, or was it all faked out?
