The moon landing conspiracy is a hoax.

Democracy is Fake too it is said you needed 200 million dolars to be president

The earth is flat says the Flat Earth Society. All this nonsense comes primarily from this group of numbskulls.
Guys please do not feed these trolls. They should be completely ignored. You can't prove to them anything no matter what evidence you present.
Save yourself some time.

obligatory meme: these photos are shopped. i can tell by some of the pixels and from having seen quite a few 'shops in my time.

FED is Fake too there is no fedaral bank only the name is...you all take the wrong pill

A lot of trolling no doubt and I apologize for feeding the trolls but there's this thing called GPS and we use it quite a bit and I'm going to at least assume I don't have to prove our ability to launch satelites. We sent the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) to orbit around the moon and take some shots for us.

That's not from the 1970s guys, those shots are from 2011 and high enough resolution to make out footprints. Just keep in mind when you're saying "too fake", you're also criticizing multiple generations of engineers not just some ancient government project from before you were born.

too good to be true... specially the flag picture

conspiracy theory #432- all the moon landing hoax engineers are now working for Volkswagen!!! think about it, NASA back then was dominated by German engineers, coincidence...

It's obviously a hoax as the moon is made of cheese. And there's no cheese to be seen. Trust the CIA to screw it up. Sheesh.

I've calculated that if they had got stuck, then it would have taken them, at 50 miles per day (of the typical hard core hiker), about 20 years to walk back to Earth.

"What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know, it's what we 'know for sure' that just ain't so" - Mark Twain

What could be the reason for all these comments about if they landed or not...

These days, I don't know what to believe and do not try to believe either side. Cool photos or paintings I guess.

Good work NASA. The dopey conspiracy theorists will be stumped trying to explain away all these photos. Another conspiracy theory bites the dust!

What a gift. Mankind's finest hour and we can see all the outtakes too!

But there seems to be a lot of sceptics on here, what I'd like to ask them is: where did they go in that huge rocket if they didn't go to the moon?

Surely, once you've gone to the expense of building the thing that fools people into thinking you've left Earth orbit you might as well just go there anyway?

The scans are deliberately low contrast, in order to preserve as much data as possible from the film. Photoshop them, and enjoy glorious color and contrast.

Google the following - Mythbusters Episode 104 to show why all these photos can actually be all True. They examine all the critics with tests. Including reflectors left on moon by astronauts proven true in a laser test. Interesting read. Video of microgravity test also true and not high frame rate film slowed down for moonwalk, as the motion is different than high speed film slowed down. Love watching the Mythbusters show.

Looks like we made it! or at least a few select astronauts did!

That should keep the Moon landing hoax loonies entertained for a while... ;)

Where are the pics of Brian Williams?

All of these tinfoils complaining about the moon landing being fake and I'm sitting here thinking:

"Staged or not, some of those astronauts don't even realize that they probably get the best cameras and glass in the entire galaxy."

men willing to risk their lives to do something great. this is why i doubt we will send astronauts to Mars: the western society is so risk-averse that they will demand 100% possibility of safe return. and no one will dare risk a mission failure.

so probably India or China will go there first.

So they went to moon? Or Dpreview made this post in order to praise the photo manipulation? I don't see EXIF :P

Did Stanley Kubrick have these taken in the studio too?

My personal belief is that a dozen men walked the surface of the moon, and that most moon hoax people actually believe this as well, despite claiming the opposite. I believe the moon hoax people are actually trolls who enjoy stirring up trouble, and that all of you are playing their silly game.

Here is the thing for me. The Moon landing hoax fools and their ignorant opinions are an insult to the many people who built America's space programme and ultimately the Apollo Moon landings. From the astronauts, to all the engineers, scientists, astronomers, and the many, many, folks who built, transported and prepared all the gear and rockets to send men to the Moon. This hoax crap is so tiring as its all easily dispelled with even by most educated high school students. It must suck to know that if you are a Moon Landing hoaxer that you are considered to be more stupid on this topic than most educated high school students.

NASA is the best in conspiraies because during the height of the Cold War, they were able to elude the Super Spy Network of the Soviet Union and China. They would have loved exposing the Imperialist American lies!!!

Best explanation evar from a photographer/cinematographer's point of view. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGXTF6bs1IU

China will land some men there by 2021, close to the landing sites, so let's see what new conspiracy will come out. NASA paying off the Chinese to claim the remnants of the equipment are still there?

My dad worked for NASA during this time. I was fortunate enough to visit and see many of his projects. He also showed me the reason behind the conspiracy theory. And assured me it was nonsense. As well as explaining to me why the replica existed. Magical for me.
A great time in my life.

I know this is like religion, no logic will help, but I ask photographers to do a simple thing, download the picture of the flag that has no shadow, then open photoshop, then file, open as, camera raw
Now move the exposure slide all the way to the right, you will see clearly that the flag was been selected,then pasted as a perfect rectangle shape, then they darkened the extra areas or brushed or whatever to blend it to the rest of the picture, but unfortunately they forgot to make shadow for the flag on the earth(studio or moon) , and don't forget, this is after 2 million times of editing so that they don't leave any signs of mistakes,so how do you want me to accept the rest of their lies?
The flag has been added later to another picture that also been faked in studio .

The greatest test ever for Mental Illness is the Moon Landings.

amazing shots, when you start thinking that whey were taken by a group of people at thousands of kilometers away from earth, in the cold space... they become even more intriguing and amusing

I'm sure nearly 50 years ago it was not a problem to travel on moon, taking pictures out there was not a problem it all.
My best regards to NASA.
Good job!
Russia had no answer, no other planet to go to, no studio like Hollywood.
JFK had big, big, big balls to pull this thing.
Amazing!

Really enjoyed the ice on the windows shots from within the landing module, and the shots showing all of the checklists and SOPs on the ceiling.
it must have been a long wait in the command module, too!

So they finally finished editing all those faked moon landing photos to pass scrutiny at a greater enlargement, eh? :-D

Nice photographs from a spot not yet over-crowded by photographers :)

As for the conspiracy ... nothing new, no reason to even get mentioned here. Mods may consider to delete all related comments.

Again and again and again ...
Bla, bla, bla ...
The story is not enough to teach, the idiots thinking to be enlightened and clever multiply again and again like diseases.

NASA please, before designing a spacecraft and a mission to Mars, build a large ark and ship them on the moon, near the Apollo's landing sites, on a journey of no return.
You have enough experience, the technology is already there from decades.

There is a 16mm film of the Apollo 11 take off shot from inside the vehicle.

The footage shows the accurate mountains, ridges, and craters as mapped on the surface of the Moon.

There were no CGI effects in those days, and it would be impossible to build a scale model of the surface, showing the terrain accurately as shown as it ascends to dock with the Command Module.

Here is the video: The Lunar terrain is accurately depicted even at 7:00 timeline...

Quote by Pete Conrad, Apollo 12:

Whoopee! Man, that may have been a small one for Neil, but it's a long one for me.

I always get a chuckle from Pete Conrad's quote.

____________

Nov. 14 1969:

Apollo 12 was almost a tragedy as it was struck by lighting 36 seconds into its launch. Messed up the computers for a number of moments. Pete Conrad said he had his hand on the abort lever waiting to hear if they were to be told to abort and eject the command module of the rising powerful, Saturn V rocket. The computers all reset and came back on a'ok. and Apollo 12 " Yankee Clipper " with LM "Intrepid " in tow were on their way to The Ocean of Storms , on the Moon. :-)

The photos are glorious, the best thing about this article though is that it brings out the conspiracy theorists. Laughing at idiots is a great way to start the day.
