Moon Landing
The moon landing is one of America's greatest accomplishments, not only showing that we were capable of doing something so great but also bringing America together as a whole making everyone feel united and patriotic, if you try to tell anyone who witnessed the moon when it was broadcast in July of 1969 that it was a hoax, they will be quick to correct you and then they might tell you about how they saw it with their own eyes a man walking on the moon, but with the advancements in our scientific knowledge we have more proof than ever that the moon landing was a hoax.
Not only is our knowledge of science much larger now but our technology is so advanced it’s amazing, but somehow before everyone had a computer, before smartphones, the United States built a rocket that took people to the moon, now this sounds a little silly when you think about it, if our technology was so advanced in the late 60’s how come we have never gone back to the moon for a follow up

visit? with all our new technology it would be much easier and more worthwhile So many flaws have been found in the video of the moon landing, and many people have shared their findings, an account on enkivillage.com with the username WilkinsonBec has written an artical with Eight great examples of the flaws seen in the moon landing one being the flag blowing in the wind, this one is often talked about, Wilkinsonbec states, “there is no breeze on the moon, meaning there is no air in the moon’s atmosphere, and hence, there is no wind whatsoever.” after poiting out one of the most obviouse flaws she continuis with “Of course, NASA tries to get around this by saying it wasn’t blowing in the wind, it was just a bit crumpled from being rolled up on the journey.” a lame exuse on NASA’s part because wouldnt you think the men putting up the flag of our great nation would strieghtan it out? you would think. Another flaw in the moon landing is the absence of a crater or even the slightest disturbance on the moon where the spaceship landed, author Josh Fox said “ The surface of the moon is covered in fine lunar dust, and even this doesn’t seem to have been displaced in photographic evidence.” of course NASA has an explanation about how the low gravity conditions allow the ship to land in such a way that it doesn't move a single thing on the planet, sounds a little unbelievable. In Fox’s article he also brings up the Van Allen radiation belt, which is a large area of radiation you would have to pass through to get to the moon, Fox remarks “Conspiracy theorists contend that the sheer levels of radiation would have cooked the astronauts en route to the moon, despite the layers of aluminum coating the interior and exterior of the spaceship.” NASA replies to this theory say that the astronauts were only exposed to this radiation for a short amount of time, this amount being about an hour and a half, I don't think you would survive in the microwave for even that long. When we look at some of this evidence we might ask ourselves why NASA and the government want to fake going to space and landing on the moon? This question has multiple answers, but the best answer is that the united states did not want to look stupid, In 1961 President John F. Kennedy said “I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of space.” And it just happened to be that they accomplished this goal in the last year of that decade under the direction of President Nixon, not a year later into the next decade, this just seems too good to be true. The United States also wanted desperately to be better than the russians, so bad that they had to beat them to the moon and put their flag on it, but when you don't have the technology to actually go the space and land on the moon the next best thing is to make everyone think you did, as too not look like an ass, so with the help of movie director Stanley Kubrick they set up an elaborate movie set in a secret location and filmed a grainy, colorless film of people walking around on a moon like set, this would explain the shadows from multiple light sources that Fox talks about, Fox explains “On the moon there is only one strong light source: the Sun.
So it’s fair to suggest that all shadows should run parallel to one another. But this was not the case during the moon landing: videos and photographs clearly show that shadows fall in different directions. Conspiracy theorists suggest that this must mean multiple light sources are present -suggesting that the landing photos were taken on a film
set.” NASA can try to cover all they want but with even just this little evidence it's hard to believe that we could have traveled to the moon and back with such little technological knowledge, and so many flaws in the photographs and films of the moon landing, with the united states trying to beat the Russians and the deadline they set themselves it's seem as though they could wait unlit the technology was advanced enough to actually journey to the moon so they had to fake it. If you looked through a big enough telescope you would be able to see the flag that we supposedly put on the moon, then why hasn't NASA released any pictures of our great flag in all its glory on the side of the moon? because it's not there.

Once the United States landed Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon, it was clear that the U.S. hoaxed the moon landing due to observations being viewed during the live footage of the moon landing. When watching the United States land on the moon, viewers claim to have watched the flag waving on live television. As known, there is no atmosphere in space or on the moon, so why should the flag be waving? NASA clai...
So, did NASA actually have enough technology to do this? Even though many Americans believe that the United States sent men to the moon in 1969, there are a few who believe that the moon landing was a hoax. A 1999 Gallup poll showed that 6% of Americans have doubts about the moon landing. Even though 6% of Americans doesn't sound like a lot, it translates to millions of people (Plait). It would have been easier to fake all the photographs in the Nevada desert in Area 51 than to actually perform the mission to the moon. However, NASA did indeed have the technology in the late 1960's to send men to the moon, and all the evidence they brought back proves it.
Space, a mysterious place, the moon, a curious place that mankind wonders about day by day. In the 1960’s and early 1970’s the United States sent a team of three to the moon for the very first time. The crew consisted was: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Out of the three, Neil Armstrong was the first to step foot on the moon (Journal of American History 609). The name of the mission to the moon was called “Apollo 11” this mission took place on July 1969 (Beall, Jeffrey 122). Space is an unexplored place, there are still people trying to discover more than they already know. Curtin people were doubting the mission, some people b the U.S. flag looked like it was flapping in the wind, but the moon does not have an atmosphere (Mashing Moon Myths 505).
The moment astronauts set foot on Earth’s Moon, in July of 1969, the legacy of the United States’ space program changed forever. Countless Americans watched the launch and landing of Apollo 13 on their televisions with pride on that day, proud of their country for achieving such an insane goal as walking on the Moon. While NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, struggled through obstacle after obstacle, invented new technologies and advanced old ones, placed the first man on the Moon, because the Soviet Union threatened to beat the U.S. to the space frontier, the nation greatly congratulated the feat that began the technological era. After forty-five years, however, the awe Americans held over NASA’s programs dwindled considerably. Although NASA no longer holds the nation in awe over their moon mission achievements, NASA programs remain vital to the United States because they advance everyday technologies, inspire creative visions, and discover greater knowledge for the entire public to benefit from.
“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” was stated by Neil Armstrong once a national goal was accomplished. Landing successfully on the moon was a major goal for astronauts of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin were honored to be the very first of mankind to step foot on the moon, and allowed America to set future goals for outer-space journeys. With the assigned Apollo mission, America was granted much needed hope. Astronauts of NASA in the Apollo Program accomplished John F. Kennedy’s goal of placing the first man on the moon safely for the United States.
The word race is defined at its core as a competition between runners, horses, vehicles, boats, etc. to see which is the fastest in covering a set course. Well, interestingly enough, a race of a different kind occurred between two countries from the years 1957 to 1969. The competition was unclear, and the opponents were on two entirely different continents, not something as simplistic as two horses. The United States and the United Soviet States of Russia both set out as arch rivals in the “Space Race,” a quest for dominance beyond the known Planet Earth. Ironically enough, just as communism was spreading to all parts of the world, the United States always sought to squash this form of government, despite somewhat dire consequences. Now, with
Some Americans now ask, "Was the moon landing a hoax?" Is this actually possible; would the U.S. government lie to our nation, let alone the whole world? The answer, no, should jump out. Hoax believers (HBs) thought they researched this thoroughly and gained enough evidence to prove that the moon landing was a hoax, but they don't know jack! Their whole case can be compared to a brick house with one difference. It seems like the bricks have all the corners, sides, and shape of a house. The evidence seems to be very strong, but the bricks are only one dimensional. All the "supposed" evidence crumbles after a little research. In this report I will show HBs falsified case along with the truth.
Do you believe in the moon landing conspiracy? There are various theories that skeptics have used to attempt to accuse NASA of faking the Apollo moon landings, although all these simple explanations will prove these theories wrong. The moon landing conspiracy was “claimed” to be a hoax since it was the only time the U.S. has ever landed on the moon was under Nixon’s administration, and the reason for this is after we finally made it to the moon the interest for the USSR else to make it there died out just like the flow of money that had been invested into the missions; skeptics attempt to say that it was faked since even with the technological advances we haven’t been back to the moon, but this is easily proven wrong by simply stating that the lower-orbit missions have potential elsewhere for military purposes. When Apollo 11 landed, it was resting on top of a rock with a thin layer of sand. Skeptics wonder why there are numerous footprints of the astronauts while there is no evidence of the lunar module.
Apollo 11 landed safely on the moon on July 20, 1969. Neil Armstrong stated that this was, “One small step for man; but one giant leap for mankind. Conspiracy theorists claim that there was no actual moon landing and it was all faked. The reader will conclude that these are merely just theories and that there was in fact a moon landing. Apparently a colossal 25% of Americans believe that the moon landing is a hoax and not fact. Motivation for this large hoax was to beat Russia in the Space Race, and to intimidate them during the Cold War. Sputnik was launched into orbit and people claim that the USA was so behind that they needed to fake the moon landing, one of the most prolific moments in modern history. Claiming that there is no moon landing
Have you ever wondered how some athletes have gotten so good at a certain sport? Have you ever thought about what they did in order for them to get this good? For some the answer is simple; workout and train. But for others the answer is different; the use of performance enhancing drugs such as steroids. There are some people that argue that steroids should be legalized and allowed in professional sports. Other people argue that steroids should not be allowed. Today I am going to state my opinion and justify my reason. Steroids should not be allowed in professional sports because it can be very dangerous to the athlete’s health, it is a way to gain and un-fair advantage and it can be dangerous in both social and physical aspects.
People are still arguing if the moon landing in 1969 was real or faked by the United States Of America. Some people think it was faked and if they are true this would be very embarrassing to America and NASA. Some think it was real because of some of the evidence they brought back supposedly from the moon's surface but this is my opinion.
Colonizing Mars, it seems like a distant achievement. Some say impossible, some say it will happen soon. Since Elon Musk has entered this field of exploration colonization of Mars has seemed even more plausible. Still, problems have surfaced to make this much more difficult than it has to be. This makes some believe this to be impossible or unlikely for the time. Despite what side you are on we can both agree that we want to advance in space exploration.
“On July 16, 1969 the world watched in anticipation as three men were hurtled skyward in a rocket bound for the moon.” (news.nationalgeographic.com). This was the Apollo 11 spacecraft, the first successful manned mission to the moon. This mission was the product of the space race (race to see who would go into outer space first, against the Soviet Union). This goal was set by President John F. Kennedy on May 25, 1961 and he promised that we would be the first to step on the moon by the end of the decade. The Apollo 11 mission is often cited as the greatest achievement in human history.

...years behind then we are in technology today. The moon landing is one of the most significant events in American history because of the superiority and triumph it had given the United States.
