How did we get from one of the greatest technological achievements of the 20th century to believing that it was a massive cover-up by NASA, the CIA, the government or a combination of all three?, and why almost 50 years after the first Apollo missions, with all the scientific proof available, do an increasing number of people believe in an a radically different version of reality?.
Conspiracy theory’s about the Apollo missions have been circulating since before the moon landings.
One of the first reported instances of people not believing that the moon landings were true came on December 18th, 1969, 5 months after first moon walk, when the New York Times science reporter , John Noble Wilford in an article called “A Moon Landing? What moon landing?” remarked that ― “A few stool warmers in Chicago bars are on record as suggesting that the Apollo 11 moon walk last July was actually staged by Hollywood on a Nevada desert.”
Six months later, on June 15th 1970, the Atlanta Constitution led with the story “Many skeptics feel moon explorer Neil Armstrong took his ‘giant step for mankind‘ somewhere in Arizona”. The article was based on a poll of 1,721 U.S. citizens that were asked “Do you really, completely believe that the United States has actually landed men on the moon and returned them to earth again?”
The poll results showed that less than 5% of responders in Detroit, Miami, and Akron believed they were fake but that increased to 54% of African Americans in places such as Washington DC.
An early common theme was that because of the cold war between the US and the Soviets, the US could not be seen to lose the race to the moon but when they realized that it couldn’t be done, NASA faked the missions and used the funds to buy the silence of potential whistle blowers.
Other ones said that we could never get to the moon because the astronauts would have been killed by the radiation in the Van Allen Belts which surround the earth. This is down a poor understanding of the science of radiation and that all radiation is not the same. As we will see, It’s this “bad science” that is the underpinning of most the moon hoax theories”
One theory by William Brian said that we did go to the moon but only with the help of Alien technology and NASA couldn’t risk the public finding out about this as they would have disclosed how they got.

I've never been to China. I've never seen anyone go to China. I've never known anyone who has gone to China. China doesn't exist.
I bet you never made a reasonable/intelligent argument either hahahahaha
@Eagle Bird that blows my mind
@Eagle Bird you're proving the moon hoax right then?
prove it and i believe you
You don't know anyone who is Chinese or anyone from China? You have to get out more.
If we had never gone to the Moon people would start believing we did...

NASA tried to hire Stanley Kubrick to film a fake moon landing, but because Kubrick was such a perfectionist, he made them go land on the moon in order to film it on location.
Wow, I'm Alex & I'm a going to parrot someone I actually think is funny.
They claim they, brought back 14,000 photos & almost 1/2 a ton of moonrock. Cameras were 2 a penny on Apollo, all over the craft, getting roasted from only a few yards away as Saturn V blasted off, on the top of the LEMon, even all over the rovers & they've shown us quality photos from the Moon, meaning it can be done.
So, what do we have? The photos (I'll overlook how fake they look) would number maybe 30, even finding 20 would be a real task.
The moving imagery from the Moon, looks like 19th century & most are much lower in quality that 1893 film or an 1857 photo of Queen Victorias family. Apart from Apollo 11, which is like an early 1830s photographic experiment.
NOW THAT'S PERFECTION!
Oh, can you think of a reason why the imagery was so bad?
@felix mendez They weren't video, they were film. They were very heavily protected, but apparently you hav'e experienced the need for such before.
What was your engineering specialty, now? Did you ever design anything to withstand a hazardous environment?
hey stupid felix, why don't you watch the video by Curious droid on just this topic? Why is it you conspiritards are always such dumbasses? The answers to all your stupid conspiracies have been available for years. Must be you're just a lazy shithead. Yup. That's it. A lazy asshole with a piece of shit for a head.
Yes, and I've seen the pics from lunar satellites of his sets. He was an intense perfectionist, and the quality of him movies really is unequalled. Have you ever seen 2001 from the front row of a theater with a big screen? It really changes the film for the better.
That's a joke, right?
I had to go back to that footage of Buzz Aldrin punching that hoaxer in his face.
Hell yeah!
pk13910 i just started the video where is it?
Daniel Big8 different video. search Buzz Aldrin punch.
I don't condone violence but I sure as hell condone Buzz punching that idiot in the face.

I've had a few conversations with conspiracy theorist and the one thing they seem to have in common is the attitude of superiority. "I know something you don't know. You believe that the Big Bad Government always tells the truth, but I know better. I'm not naïve like you are."
They seem to need to be part of of a small group that are “in the know” of what is really going on. There is also an abysmal lack of basic scientific knowledge out there. You can make a ridiculous idea sound vaguely sciencey (is that a word?) and many will believe it.
The stats in the video support this. It is often uneducated or poorly educated people who believe in these things. As d53101 said, the lack of general knowledge makes a ridiculous idea sound plausible. Then they consider themselves a genius for "figuring it out" and won't accept any counter argument, because of their superiority complex.
I've seen a few interviews with people who believe and one showed this so well. A guy was interviewed on some weird political conspiracy, when asked whether he had any proof, his whole demeaner changed. All of the sudden there was this arrogance, he leaned back casually, way too overtly and gave this half smile to the camera while saying "you'll find out when you wake up". He embodied that attitude perfectly.
Every "conspiracy theorist" started as a official truth believer. Same confirmation bias applies to official truth believers, except that the conspiracy theorist have at least proven their ability change their mind when new facts are presented.
@@Juhobui Hahaha! That is some hilarious mental gymnastics, where actual proof and facts don't matter.
Conspiracy theorist cannot change their minds, they dig in and keep repeating the same nonsense, without a shred of proof.
The only "new facts" they will accept are those that confirm their childish paranoia. Actual facts, data and basic science is ignored based on the paranoid notion that there is a big bad government who is trying to "control us all".
That is where most of the conspiracy theories end up: government control and the hysterical fear conspiracists have for control.
Look at the dumbfuck who believe in the "sovereign citizen" bullshit. All paranoia over supposed governmental control.
PSA: Don’t read the comment section, it is more toxic than the radiation in space.
youtube comments are a case study in human behavior, emotions, and how we engage with digital media
also they are a flaming heap of turds
Remember, not all radiation is the same! lol
Good one! Made me Laugh
Sebi's Random Tech , Awlwis. The world is showing its character, for good or bad.
So... not at all?
In order to create the realistic impression of 1/6 lunar gravity for the faked images of the moon walks, NASA filmed these on Ganymede. A moon of Jupiter with a similar gravitational field.
Of course! It all makes sense now! 😆
I thought it was on a moon-like planet in the Andromeda Galaxy.
dream on, until, perhaps in your old age, if you'll be still alive, it will have been finally revealed and acknowldged 1969 MOON LANDINGS HAVE BEEN STAGED, AS PERFECTLY TECHNICALLY POSSIBLE
It's always easier to believe simpler and mostly primitive conspiracy theories then gain real knowledge letting really understand how NASA made moon landings possible. As graphic designer and photographer I love part where hoaxers try to analyze moon photos, blabbing about lack of stars, specific shadows and even the quality of moon photos - showing lack of basic knowledge and understanding how optics work.
So you approve of billions of $$ for futile space programs year after wasteful year while your or mine utilities will be cut off in a month or two of nonpayment....i would trade one for the other. People can learn to be a resource instead of being a slave to them! It doesn't matter whether it's a moon program or gene splicing, we are not allowed to determine our destinies. Work. Pay rent. Pay bills. Let the school system raise our chilren. Die.
My father told me today he believes we never got to the moon. I send him this video and many others and he refuses to see them. Just blows my mind.
How does this video prove it?
I'm 4 minutes in and all this guy is doing is debunking horsesh!t theories that claim Apollo astronauts actually went to the Moon, but met aliens there, and the crap that Richard Hoagland says about it, which also involves astronauts actually going to the Moon and finding structures built by aliens on its' surface.
I can't be bothered with the rest of this nonsensical video that only serves as more proof that the REAL wackadoodles are the people that believe men went to the Moon. Something I was already aware of.
You people are nuttier than the flat Earthers.
@@FakeMoonRocks okay but on apollo 14 onward they left light reflector panels that if you got the right equitment you could beam a "laser" up there and it will come back
@@Theironminer-ky2pg Nope. The 'official' story only has 3 missions total that are said to have retroreflectors being placed on the Moon by astronauts - Apollo 11, Apollo 14 & Apollo 15.
Nevertheless, this claim does not prove men have been to the Moon, since MIT scientists were bouncing lasers off the Moon years before the alleged manned missions to the Moon. In other words, bouncing a laser beam off the Moon does not even require a retroreflector.
Furthermore, placing a retroreflector on the Moon apparently doesn't even require manned missions, as the Soviets are said to have placed 2 on the Moon remotely.
Retroreflectors DO NOT prove men have been to the Moon...th-cam.com/video/iGeKqKrq06M/w-d-xo.html

Why would NASA lie about brutally killing 3 people in a fire,

Also if you sat down and did the math you would find out that EVERYTHING checks out
I love how Kaysing totally ignores the hundreds of thousands of people around the world who followed the spacecraft through their own telescopes. If NASA hadn't made it the USSR government would have claimed it was a fake, yet they didn't.
Nonsense. Telescopes couldn't follow something that tiny. The USSR also lied about their program and so both sides kept mum about the lies. Besides, the Soviet Union needed shipments of American wheat at the time. Astronauts in a beer can going through the VAB with no effects whatsoever. Sure.
You can track objects that size with a powerfull enough telescope.
+Ben Garrison Isn't it so ironic how in this very video one of the points made is that some people believe the moon landings were faked because of a lack of knowledge into how radiation works. You very clearly based on your comment are one of those people. Even Van Allen himself says that the belts can be passed through.
Sure...that's why one of the geiger counters broke after being fried by too much radiation.
The Apollo program was tracked by radar all over the world and the landing site is still visible with observatories and large enough telescopes.
It’s Easier to Fool People Than to Convince Them That They Have Been Fooled
Chi Tsang yeah “because evil is easy. Stay away from easy”
Absolutely! Once a denier latches on, his self esteem will not allow him to let go.
Where is the telemetry data? Why can they not go back now to the moon? What was the specific volume of fuel on the capsule when landing on moon, and when taking off the moon?
@D D Are you being serious or sarcastic?
A very true statement.
People forget that Stanley Kubrick was such a perfectionist he went on record saying that he would only film the moon landing on location.
I saw an interview years ago with a "converted" terrorist. In prison for life. BUT he explained his mindset, and it was eye opening. As he was a total failure, in his own mind growing up, the idea that "God" had shown him a "truth" that no one else knew gave him relevance. Gave him power. He said he could walk down any street looking at the mass of fools who did not know the "truth" and have power over them. To the point where he soon realized that they were enemies of the truth. And needed to be destroyed. At any cost. Conspiracies begin with a feeling of being left out. Being seen as a failure. Mind control usually starts with a "beat down". Tear someone down then build them up with lies. I think part of the problem is people thinking they are under attack. That they have a problem and X is at fault. If your X is the government then the government is lying to you. The more you distrust the government the better you feel about yourself. The more self powering it is. The fear is that at some point a person may feel the need to shut off the counter information.In the video the "backfire effect" And soon people want leaders who "understand" the "truth".
Read Killing Hope.
Government = Politicians + Bureaucrats
They always lie.
The most brutal acts on human history were all done "for good". The stupidest things people have ever done were "for love". The most deranged assumptions were presented as "the hidden truth".
_"The road to hell is paved with good intentions."_
Look at murderers, racists, genocides, psychopaths, rapists, terrorists... they don't feel like shit, they don't have a low self-esteem... On the contrary, they feel pretty damn good about themselves... They feel so good, that they feel entitled to do terrible things.
And these other, holocaust deniers, HIV deniers, 9/11 deniers, moon landing deniers, flat earthers, anti-vaxxers... while not as dangerous, also feel pretty good about their "truth". They are certain about it.
They see themselves as "intellectuals, critical thinkers, skeptics that have seen the truth" but they're the fanatics of yet another cult...
This is a terrible post. Conspiracy theory means crazy or wrong or lies to a lot of people. You are telling people to accept what they are told. Many "conspiracies" are just alternative and opposing information to the mainstream media and history and the official narrative...you know the shit that causes wars and crooked politics and big government and business and celebrity culture and consumerism... literally everything wrong with the world is because of the masses who accept and obey.
The solution:. An education system that actually teaches people how to think instead of blind regurgitation. So, it would be nice if politicians could stop lying and rebuild their credibility
zombiesurfer1 There's no more spoonfeeding and simple memorisation at university, at least not in STEM. It's pretty clear that conspiracy theorists have never attended a single lecture in any scientific field.
I know words, I have the best words. Nobody respects women more than me. I am the least racist person who you have ever met. Nobody lies better than me. Believe me. Sad!
The line that ‘uneducated’ people are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories suggests that a lack of education is a foundation in conspiracy thinking.
This is not the case.
Education has nothing to do with mental ability, curiosity, or rationalised logical thinking. I’m sure there’s more evidence to support that ‘conspiracy minded people are less likely to pursue advanced education’, rather than ‘lesser education breeds conspiracy theorists’.
We are all wired in different ways, and for some, that wiring become crossed while it was being installed. The more fascinating question is; why is the wiring broken in some people and not others?
That is an statistical solution, not a full proof one. I have a Ph.D. but I have had the unpleasant experience of finding people with similar level of education believing in these conspiracy theories (including the Moon Hoax), even some professors. Of course, the chances of this happening are way lower than with uneducated people, but it proves that education alone is not enough.
Its pretty simple, we have never been to the moon..
I think it's an absolute disgrace to the hundreds of people who struggled for the best part of a decade to complete this mission. The tireless work of every single engineer, astrophysicist, and astronaut that was involved in the Apollo program, all forgotten by people who think the entire thing was some huge hoax.
Ashbridge Industries try 300,000 people at its peak! And the conspiracy nuts want us to believe you could fake it and not one of those people would speak out about it being a hoax!
Ashbridge, thank you. I was one of 12,000 engineers out of the 240,000 workers on Apollo. Yes it is a great insult to us to say it was a hoax.
oak go ahead and prove it, liar. where are all the worker reunions to celebrate such a massive achievement. there are none because there was no trip to the moon. where are the published memoirs of the key workers in missions apollo and gemini. none, nada, zip, bupkis - you shilltards are hos to say the least, and buttcrap to say the most
Frank, despite your gutter language reply, I decided to answer your weak challenge: yes, I have been to two reunions at the Cape and have corresponded over the years with some of my friends on the project, becoming fewer as the years pass. And why haven't you heard of these reunions? I would say WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU BE INFORMED OF THEM? Have you heard of my last high school reunion? Without the low language of your reply, it is completely devoid of any meaning.

I remember in 1969 we couldn't even drive our car under a bridge without losing the radio signal.
Yet we all believed man landed on the Moon because NASA had some amazing technology that the entire world lacked. Little did we know then that Apollo's computer had less computing power than today's cell phone.
So, no, it didn't "get the job done." It was a con job that scammed billions from the taxpayers.
@Sacred Raisin Cakes
Did you know that the Van Allen belts that NASA claims they cannot get manned spacecraft through today were the very same Van Allen belts in 1969?
Did you also know that NASA changed the initial story about Apollo regarding the Van Allen belts when the radiation danger from the Van Allen belts became more known?
You can put a moon hoaxer on the moon and they still will deny it, even with their helmet off.
I prefer the Methodological Skepticism by René Descartes approach when I
look at first, second or third-party evidence on the Moon landing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-party_evidence_for_Apollo_Moon_landings
I search all kind evidence, NASA, Hoax theories, Independent. I found issues on all of them.
I would like NASA shows us to get their ass BACK ON THE MOON (with exact same technology as they did back on 1969) not Mars. After I will analise all evidence to proof.
Or maybe they can have both programs?
Back On The Moon (The Return of LM-5 Eagle), I would make it with a vintage retro steampunk look. People will LOVE IT,.... and nobody it´s expecting it.
I just tell NASA next time make a more credible story.
The point is that at the time in 1969 was credible, technology evolves and this allowed us to have a different look on the past.
That means, what technology will be presented with Orion Mars. How it will be presented. But it will have to be pretty impressive to convince people, like it was on 1969.
Or maybe they no longer care about aesthetics to make it look real, they will sell it as a product, just like on the Moon story and as Buzz Aldrin does and people will buy it the same because they do not care.
An astronaut selling merchandise? What a sense of humanity that has. An act as noble as this, is being marketed on the internet by the astronaut himself who went to the moon? If I had this great honor, NEVER in my life would I ever sell a single t-shirt, sticker or whatever with my name.
I could imagine the LM-5 cockpit in a dream of Jules Verne, De la Terre à la Lune, or Le Voyage dans la Lune, by Georges Méliès. It looks more like a submarine than a spaceship, but that doesn´t mean anything.
All the footage, I mean all the real footage about Moon landings from reliable sources, some details are genius filmmaking, like the cameraman eye vision..... he really knows what it is doing with the camera, the editing, just pay attention and focus on it, because, it never let you really understand in depth what this astronauts are operating in the Moon land and this Moon Machines how they work. Genius Eye Camera Vision and cut, edting. I clap my hands.
Such a perfect love science fiction epic marvelous fairy tail story, Uau, let´s do it again the exact same way, like in good old times.
Why are we giving so much money to these Space Agencies? We need to first solve our problems here on the ground, and then yes, let's look up on the skies but not with this illusions, but with OUR DREAMS!!
I say NO to this Brainless Rocket Freak Illusion Techno-Materialistic Culture!
USA and Russia are friends behind the scenes for many, many decades, but the masses are too blind to see it yet. It´s the same game as Democrats and Republicans, Occidental culture vs Orient, Catholic vs Muslin, this culture explores Dichotomous thinking, It´s the illusion of free choice, a puppet show.
I don´t think we should fight against NASA, U.S.Government or any other Institutions, because of this or anything else. It was a perfect story, crucial on that moment, help us to breakthrough, but know it´s time to breakthrough again in new forms of culture and society, this world need new ideas, not only new technological objects.
We should claim at least the condition on an experimental basis a place on this planet, where we can test new forms and systems of society, for that we can test, if it works.

I am old enough to remember all the moon landings. It was a very exciting time.
I suspect that the deniers were born long after the last landing.
(There is a huge amount of evidence that the landings really happened, but probably deniers will not look, or will claim it is faked too.)
The main reason that the landings finished after Apollo 17 was that the public became bored!
Going from Earth to Moon in a thin-walled aluminium can took real heroism.
Perhaps the government thought they should quit while they were ahead, before there was a disaster or astronauts were marooned on the Moon.
There is not a huge amount of evidence that the Moon landings happened.

"We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology."
Carl Sagan
I've noticed that most hoaxers simply have very little understanding of physics, like how cameras work, and how earth atmosphere affects judgement of distance and therefore scale, etc. They assume rockets would dig a crater in the moon, but don't consider the possibility that the descent stage of the LM is throttleable, and at minimums on landing, and that the thrust spreads out immediately with no atmosphere to constrain it, and that the surface is firm, etc. It would be harder to accurately fake much of this stuff for the cameras, if you ask me. 🤔
I agree ...
This "Apollo Moon landings hoax" phenomenon has gained momentum over the years, and now presents a real threat in terms of falsehoods and misinformation for the masses via social networking (Facebook, Twitter, TH-cam, etc.) ... not to mention its influence in the classroom as it pertains to the dilution of the STEM (Sciences, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) educational process resulting in less student interest and the weakening of the job/work base in these fields. The "Moon hoaxers" are a menace to society, and again, to the educational process that caters to the STEM fields. They have no regard for that wonderful era that saw incredible technological advancement, and they tear down the hope and will of the people back then that put people on the Moon. They are ignorant of the facts, and have no desire to learn and become knowledgeable of the goings-on. They ignore documentation and incontestable proof of Project Apollo that missions indeed landed on the Moon, and that the astronauts brought back rocks and soil samples for analysis. Charlatans are usually harmless, but these charlatans/"Moon Hoaxers" ... who are flamboyant deceivers, and attract followers with tricks or jokes ... are hurting our youth and society as a whole.

@Curious Droid @Herr Schmidt @Drew Thompson
After our last conversation here I watched hours and hours of actual interviews with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin both before, soon after and many years after Apollo missions. I also watched more than 5 hours of different documentaries about the Cold War and the Moon Race. I checked to find out if every single equipment they would have needed to accomplish the moon landing was even available at the time. I got to admit that I amazed how naive and silly I was to even start questioning the actual event that took place 50 years ago without spending enough time to completely understand it. I’m terribly sorry if I did hurt you guys with my nonsenses the other time and I hope you guys accepting my apology for that. I’m strongly recommending to every single person who still has a doubt about the whole story, please go and just spend few hours of your time to actually read and analyze the data and documented evidences from this event By Yourself (Not what TH-camrs are feeding you) and you will definitely be satisfied. Hats off to every single brave and determined men and women everywhere in the world who dedicated themselves to achieve such an amazing achievement for humankind in the history of mankind.
Looks like I underestimated your curiosity a lot. I probably should have been more patient.
Herr Schmidt With the amount of nonsenses I claimed as logic I would have been much much less patient if I were you my friend, so no worries. I really shocked when I found out how social media in general could potentially mess with your brain if you are not careful! And to be honest I was ashamed of my naivety because usually I always try to be logical and analytical in relationship to what is going on around us. I must do more research before I let anything in my mind as a fact otherwise I will be in a real danger of dogmatism which I hate so much.

As somebody who can actually do physics and math, I can say that it would be VERY easy to prove the moon landing simply by presenting the telemetry, showing the height, acceleration and axial speeds of the rockets, as well as the specific times for each stage burns, and labeling the forces at any single moment during the entire trip - SINCE THESE WOULD HAVE BEEN WORKED OUT WELL IN ADVANCE prior to the construction of the rockets and boosters, and prior to launch.
And since there is a million dollar prize being offered for mathematical proof of how the moon landing would be done...you would think thousands of people would rush forward to claim their prize....

The point is that if you study this subject and understand the science, historical perspective and the equipment and procedures used, you will come to the conclusion, unless you are wilfully stupid that limited spaceflight was perfectly possible in the late 1960’s and that the United States did in fact put men on the Moon.
Yeah, not much understanding /knowing Space, data is not to be trusted.
Just as TV news, anygoes up There just as much does down here... faking.
@Rohan Orton The Van Allen belts are in a torus shape. You know how the astronauts went past the VAB? They went above and below them, getting much less radiation compared o going straight through. Temperature of the Moon does reach 250 degrees F, but you can easily stop that by putting 3 layers along with many sublayers of heat resistant material.
Now, you're a scientist though? Lol
To all the deniers of the moon landing i have a question the spacecraft was transmitting back on an open frequency, which is easily recieved by any reciever in line of sight. Now two recieving stations with direction finding capability can give a fairly accurate position on earth as prooved by df equipment in the second war. Three df compatible recivers will give a position of the transmitter in 3d space. My point is if the transmissions were not coming from moon russians or any country to be honest would have said "why is transmission coming from area 51 (or any site conspirisists say)?".
As a matter of fact, ham radio operators did intercept Apollo transmissions. They were in the direction of the moon and matched what was broadcast on t.v. www.arrl.org/eavesdropping-on-apollo-11

The no stars on the photographs is simply down to how cameras and exposures work. If you were to use a long enough exposure to reveal the stars then any bright object in the foreground would become a white blurry mess.
Take your phone or a camera, put a photo behind a lit lightbulb. Take a photo of the bulb. Unless the bulb is horribly glaringly bright you wont be able to see the photo behind it.
Tada that's how camera exposure works.
Nicholas Ennos Because filming outside and at night was just impossible.... did you really think that through before you typed it.
@Nicholas Ennos No stupid. You confuse a black sky with night time - they are not the same. We only see stars at night because the sky is black due to the absence of light. On the Moon (and in space) the sky is dark because of the lack of atmosphere. Try taking a photo of stars at night on Earth with the same exposure you use during the day - voila! - NO stars. You don't need to believe me, try it for yourself.
One big problem is that the Earth should always be above the astronauts head and in many photos it's over their shoulder not possible

It was one of the most visible events of the 20th century and would have to have been a conspiracy involving hundreds of different people from many different countries including Great Britain, the former Soviet Union, France, Australia, Italy and Germany, from which not one credible witness has ever emerged. It would also have been impossible to cover up for such a length of time; the Watergate conspirators couldn’t keep their cover up silent for more than a few months.
There is also so much third part corroboration; for example the spacecraft were tracked to the moon, the rock and soil samples have been authenticated by many different scientists around the world for decades and the Japanese Selene orbiter and the Indian probe Chandrayaan1 both photographed and or observed the Apollo landing sites.
Best proof for me is the fact that dozens of radio amateurs around the globe were able to listen to the audio transmissions from the lunar landing sites, and that they could prove by Doppler effect that these signals really came from the moon, Doppler measurements cannot be faked.

Depends, before 1st September '39 or afterward?
The answer to the question in the title of this video: Stupidity is rampant.
The problem is that the concerted stupid will be even more radical than the first ones and thus the midinformation campaign will spread evenmore harshly. Like that Flatearth theory resurgence after centuries of discoveries and education. If the Greeks, with no celestial instruments had proven the Earth was not flat long before the invention of the telescope, the computer and rockets, why do some still believe now that Earth is flat. They just used their brains, observation and a little bit of maths. Why at our era of spread information people have less brains than people with primitive technologies? Maybe because free access to information is the problem, w become lazy and control nothing and thus are completely clueless about the process and thus can't settle on what to believe. To remedee the problem, we should made the children do the same as Greeks, same experiments, same protocols, same calculations, make them use their brains, they would be flattered, self confident and would observe the result themselves right in front of their own eyes, and themselves draw the right conclusion. So the awnser is simple, if you don't know what to believe, do it yourself! Easier said than done talking about going to space.
Generally the arguments of consipration theories ironically work both ways, they noeuther prove nor disprove anything. When some of them recreate the lighting in a field at night, they just prove the can set up lights and obtain this or that result, that doesn't prove a thing. If you want to know what a picture on the moon really look like, they should go there and do it themselves, but yeah, they can't, so they get angry and say it isn't possible unless you have tons of money from the untrusted government, therefore it is fake. This is biased judgment, nothing more.
The demonstration of the guy from NVdia was very dramatic and cured me from my tendancy to believe in hoaxes just because I knew nothing of basic principles of photography. In fact, Armstrong space suit has much more albedo than the moon dust, so it became a big reflector on which sunlight reflected (plus the reflection on the dust on the little dune beside the lander) that provided the light source to see Aldrin's suit. Aldrin's suit too is reflective so it becomes evenmore visible. WHen you have no atmosphere to deflect part of the sunlight, each white thing you put around you is a big reflector, you don't even need a secondary light source, your spacesuit is enough !!! Quite ironic. As for the stars... try to take a photo of the stars in the night in the city lights. Well you don't see them, do you? Right because you have light pollution at your level, exactly what does lunar dust and your spacesuit, light pollution. And if you want to photograh both the lunar surface and the sly, if you want to see the stars, the lunar surface will simply blind the film with the contrast. So you must have less exposure time and less opened iris, to have a normal photo of the lunar surface and obviously, the guys were there to see the moon, not the stars, so they set the cameras accordingly. Taking photo of stars is possible, but required you point the camera upwards, back to the sun with no lunar elements in sight to adjust time explosure and iris opening. The best way is to be on the far side where no light will disturb you.
Does it prove we went to the moon? Not absolutely. Does it prove consirationists actually know what there are talking about, no, so go outhere and see for yourself, use your brain and learn about the basic principales of photgraphy, astrophysics and radiations, if people like Newton back in the 16th Century and his pairs could caculate the position of yet unseen planets with only their brains, some maths and observations of the orbital mechanics, you can do the same !
My kids had to go to high school outside the US because of my work. They went to the MOST expensive school available and I was shocked when one of them came home one day and told me that their science teacher told the class that the US hoaxed the moon landing. Not that it was POSSIBLE that they were faked... But that they were absolutely faked. It kind of makes me curious what other countries are teaching their students on the subject.
All the trolls on these sites don't want to hear it but, Once you start looking into it the story starts to sound more and more far-fetched. Even young 20 something year old NASA scientists says not possible with current technology, that good enough for me. They're the experts not the people that go around calling you every name under the sun just because you question things that don't pass the initial sniff test. Then you politely ask them to steer you in the right direction and they just continue with the shaming language. I'm sure that's not the only country where they teach the Moon missions were faked. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
@@marcs4091 A NASA scientist did not say it's not possible with current technology. The more you investigate the more you will learn how things are done. The individual knowledge of everyone involved and the “organisational know-how” of how to actually run such a huge, complex project has been lost. Most of the engineers and technicians are now retired or dead. And on top of that, much of the equipment is incredibly dated, and many things cannot be bought “off the shelf” but would have to be specially manufactured. Re-designing from scratch is cheaper and better. However, there is a price to pay; it takes years to build up that sort of expertise and NASA is going through the problems it had in the early to mid-60’s. The political imperative to accomplish it is also not there as it was during the Cold War. If it is delayed now no one really cares as much, as it’s just another government project that’s fallen behind.
There's no limit to man's ignorance
How about women's? Or Transgender's?
Ain't that the truth!
Disbelieving the Moon landings is not ignorance, if that's what you're implying.
@Giant Atom I'm not ignorant of the 'facts' or science.
I've studied the matter and had to convert from a life long landing believer to disbeliever. And I don't give a rat's ass what anyone thinks of me for that.
@Giant Atom How does my not believing the landings damage your mental condition?
Just watched this in awe at man's stupidity, shortsightedness and lack of memory, then went to give it a thumbs up and realised I already did that a year ago. *Facepalm* 🤦♂️
MrGonzonator
Hahahahahhahahhaahahahaha
lool
There is a conspiracy behind!
To me, the most strange thing is (and probably why there are more and more skeptics) how is it possible that not one single country in over 40 years went back yet?
politics rules over science. Any government has more interest in winning elections, go to war than backup scientific and tecnological development.
go back for what? vacation?
"Not one single country..." as if any country is in the running. Up to now only TWO countries have had the knowledge and means to even send people into space, let alone to the Moon!
@wp r China, Russia and the USA have all had manned space stations. That's THREE lol
@@dosmundos3830 Research Just like the ISS
Astronauts twins that don't come to funerals was a clincher for me...see Richie from Boston channel for the old video. absolutely helpful!
Well that just shows how dumb you are.
What I don’t get is how do people still believe that people went to the fucking moon? We couldn’t do it then and we can’t do it now.
Fantastic documentary and is proof one has to research the research. Great job and keep up the hard work and awesome videos.
Not bad, but I was expecting you to scientifically counter-argue all the hoax arguments.
If even one of their arguments had a shred of logic or rationality to them, that might be necessary.
As it is though, their "arguments" are puerile, asinine and ridiculous in the extreme.
You don't use logic with someone who has abandoned any pretense at rational thought.
Easiest way to verify potential legitimate of any conspiracy theory is by watching debunkers. If they try only to offend people and use naive but overcomplicated counter-arguments, it means you should research for yourself.
Conspiracy theories are closer to Religious Cults than people simply being wrong. Psycologically these beliefs satisfy a deep need for vindication & acceptance into a community, or, as Charles Manson identified in staggering clarity when asked "How'd you pick up so many followers?" & he said "I didn't pick up anyone who hadn't already been thrown away...(by society)".
It goes like this: Someone weak, afraid & lonely, someone who can't understand the world & can't accept random events, leading to constant mental confusion & a barely registered feeling that "There's GOT to be an explanation, this CAN'T just happen." They are given a simple explanation ny someone, Lizard People, Alien Technology, Illuminati....whatever. They are told that this is a "secret" but that THEY are "special" because THEY "know the truth". On line it's easy to find your email, text messages & video feeds now full of other True Believers who will vindicate their new beliefs & provide a community where the New Convert feels at home, welcomed & loved,
Any attempt to show that these beliefs are false, even when painfully obviiius, will draw immediate hostility & gell tale responses as anger ("You don't want to hear the truth!") paranoia ("Who do you REALLY work for, huh?") even as far as direct threats of violence ("You shojld be careful, it gets dangerous around here at night") etc etc.
They cannot face life without their community & will defend it no matter what, anything you do or say to show them that their beliefs are false are simply rejected. Worst, going back to their community of fellow converts thye will tell the others & they will praise the New Convert's stand.
Most telling of all is the belief that THEY know the truth & one day all the Heretics will have to admit that they were wrong & that the Conspiracy Theory believers were right, kinda like "Your reward will be in heaven". It is a religion & they don't even know it.
Thank you. I couldn`t have put it better myself.
There’s no way we landed on the moon because it’s made of green cheese.
mateollios 67 Wallace and gromit beat us there 😂😂
Yes and it's rotten and stinks...... Just like NASA - National Aeronautics on Space Assumptions
Matt Chan you must think it’s cool to be rebellious, huh
That is not a gouda argument. It has not aged well, no matter how you slice it!
My only question regarding the moon landings would be, it's been nearly 50 years, so WHY haven't they been back??
Because that's what NASA was directed to do. Sending men to the Moon is incredibly expensive, and once they'd beaten the Russians there, the US public lost interest and Congress began cutting their budget. The fact is most people can't see a point to sending men to the Moon, so NASA wasn't allowed to do it any more.
It is not, and has never been, a question of technical capability. It is a question of funding. It makes no difference how easy it is to get to the Moon technically if no-one stumps up the money to pay for it. The same goes for other countries - only now, as China wants to be seen as a technologically advanced country, they're making an attempt to land on the Moon themselves (so that's a propaganda goal _again),_ and even then they can't afford to do it as fast as _Apollo_ did and have to spread the cost over many more years.
Where is the telemetry data? Why can they not go back now to the moon?
@@kekfreedomheritage5633 They have the data, your parroting what you've heard on TH-cam videos. We sent probes to other planets instead of returning humans to the Moon, but plans are being made to go back to the Moon.
@@kekfreedomheritage5633 there is tons of the original data (audio, telemetry, etc etc) online and in private collections ...
here's just some of it for you to "debunk" archive.org/details/@apollo_16_uvc_s201_as16-123
they did.6 time. do your research
Challenger crew to NASA : “we are totally gonna blow the lid on you guys as soon as we get back from space, just you wait. And no funny business while we’re up there ok?”
Why? It's all about attention seeking.
some still think the earth is flat! There will always be stupid people, nothing to do about it.
To refrain watch this and go to there website. All the science stuff is their. If you watch the whole thing I'll watch and read what you want. DEAL? th-cam.com/video/McdMMmclGVc/w-d-xo.html
prove that it isn't. don't just call me an idiot, or say that it's obvious, i mean actually prove it to me. because from where i'm sitting, we aren't on a ball hurtling and spinning through space, it's pretty flat
you are a living oxymoron.
the earth is round? how do you know? nasa said so?
stand on a mountain and look 20+ miles.
wheres the curve?

As a student aerospacengineer, I proposed a *manned mission* to the sun.
Everyone called me a moron, saying I'd burn up.
Dolts neverealized I'd go at night!
Did you know of the Parker Solar probe (admittedly UN-manned) that is on its way twards the sun at this very moment?
@@eagleone493 Yes. Sad that our astronauts are being replaced by sensors, HD cameras and smart probes.
@@robertgift I realise that sadly it costs less money BTW I caught your comment about going at night :-)
@@eagleone493 Makes $ense to not risk astronauts' lives on dangerous missions. And far less expen$ive.
Why is it that NASA is currently saying they're STILL working on getting past the Van Allen Radiation Belts? I've seen video a couple times of an engineer saying that, that it's their biggest hurdle.
Yes, because they're trying to do it a different way, in a different spacecraft, to maximise launch efficiency.
Smoking gun right there bro
stupid people are never acknowledged, so they get depressed, and this sort of crap helps them have normal conversations with people when normally they are too crazy to form personal relationships
And I'm sitting here really scratching my head like, I literally went to the Wettzell Fundamental Station during Uni and we fired ranging lasers at the lunar laser ranging equipment left behind by Apollo missions and took readings.
I'm no expert on rocket science, radiation, or moon travel in general, but I know how laser ranging works, how light behaves, and if the whole thing is a conspiracy then sneaky Americans have been breaking into every observatory on the planet for the last 50 years every time they get new equipment, never getting caught ONCE in all that time, and managing to perfectly trick every single instrument in the place into providing false readings, all to continue the hoax. Which is downright impressive. How many people staff the "continue to fool the entire world" project? How did they trick the Japanese into also doing a big fake rocket launch in 2007, fabricating more fake photos of the Apollo equipment? Why would Japan agree? There were hundreds of thousands of people at the launch. Big project for another country to undergo just to support an American hoax from the 60's.
Doesnt the moon reflect the light of the sun?
Case closed...
@@bewaver lol yeah you nailed it, genius
@@bewaver of course a 2 minute Wikipedia read will inform you that laser ranging devices don't work without a reflective mirror, but I guess I shouldn't expect even that from a denier
@@junkoshirai5088 Wikipedia hey... that changes everything! .... NOT!
Isnt the sunshine bouncing off the moon, or does it self illuminate?
Wikipedia, encyclopedia, dictionary, every science textbook in the world, every single mention of laser imaging devices since they were invented - all sources, every source on these machines will inform you that they need a reflective surface. The laws of physics and how light waves work confirms this. You literally cannot find a single piece of information anywhere on earth, at any point in the lunar laser ranging device's history, that suggests they can work without mirrors. Please try to learn just the most simple information about lasers. Your counterpoint might as well be an argument that water is not wet, or that if you jump in the air you won't come back down. I feel bad for you.
When one spells 'likly' as opposed to 'likely', one may assume their Phd may have been attained 'on line'!
It's "online" not "on line".
And it's "PhD" not "Phd".
Australia had two radio telescopes which relayed the signals from the Moon. One was the famous Parkes radio telescope and the other was the tracking station at Honeysuckle Creek. The picture gets a lot better when it was switched from Honeysuckle Creek to Parkes. When the Moon landing started, the Moon was beneath the horizon of the Parkes scope, however, engineers had shifted the receiver to a different focal point, and they were able to get the signal at the very start of the landing.
This is all in the logs for the two scopes. Are those who worship the Giant Hoax in the Sky now going to tell us that the Australian scientific community was also in on the "hoax"? How come the scope in California got it all wrong, what with its images appearing as negatives and the audio being incomprehensible?
That's why they switched to the Australian scopes.
Incidentally the Parkes telescope, which has amongst its many crowning achievements the discovery of Quasars, was critical in the tracking of Apollo 13, especially during the separation stage.
The hoaxing brigade needs to learn to swim, for their ultimate fate is to go and jump into the lake, and stop boring the life out of the rest of us, also known as "the sane brigade".
In 100 years when they don’t go to the moon what will be the excuse again ? Money ? Lol
