The point was made that we were in fact in a space race with the Russians. If they even had the slightest idea that it was faked they would have exposed it. In fact it would have been the biggest coup of the cold war!
Next will come the flat earth thread! Oh wait; it's hollow, that’s right...
Frightening when you consider the original context of the thread authors somewhat straightforward contention.
And on top of all that they had to put their lives on the line riding on top of the Saturn 5�s � acting as dead-astronauts-on-standby in case the rockets blew up.

soooooo... lemme get this straight:
We launched a bunch of well paid individuals of high intellect to ride some very dangerous rockets into space, go orbit around the Moon a few times, then come back home without ever bothering to land and take some pictures?

Originally posted by Ednnow, you have the information you need to dis-prove the Moon landings so why don't you stop theorizing, being sarcastic and guessing and go out there and prove the Moon landings didn't happen
Dear Edn:
Er, why do I need to prove the moon landings didn’t happen when NASA says so itself? Their scientists put it in writing and that’s good enough for me.
Greetings,

Inside Reiner Crater
adsabs.harvard.edu...
In order to investigate the composition and origin of Reiner Gamma, near-infrared spectra and vidicon images were obtained and interpreted. The 0.40/0.56 micron ratio image shows that the high albedo portion of Reiner Gamma is surrounded by a 'red halo' and the 0.95/0.56 micron image indicates that Reiner Gamma exhibits a strong pyroxene absorption band. Analysis of the near-infrared spectra of various portions of the formation indicated the presence of major amounts of fresh mare basalt. Spectral mixing models demonstrate that the Reiner Gamma spectra can be reproduced by mixing major amounts of local fresh mare material (Reiner K crater) with small amounts of fresh highlands material (Oelbers A crater). No evidence was found for the presence of 'exotic' components (i.e., magnetite, free iron, cometary material). Together with photogeologic considerations, these results suggest that Reiner Gamma is quite young and is composed of a mixture of fresh highland materials with much larger quantities of local mare basalt.

So the Soviets, with all their technology, never once, not even once, noticed anything strange about these fake moon landings of yours?
Wise up and get a grip on reality man.

1. If you or I claim to have been somewhere and then revert to describing that place in a hypothetical way,
morons for having completely forgotten the characteristics of the place we visited.
If there had been static electricity on the Moon, they would have noticed � if they had actually made it there.
Well no other country at the time had the capabilities of independently tracking our missions.

For starters, it's not a visible spectrum image.
these results suggest that Reiner Gamma is quite young
But I'm sure you'll say they're all In On It, too.

The various unmanned lunar probes suffered no static discharge problems , no APOLLO crew or system showed any serious static issues

Good find! I would also like to discuss the 2 conflicting conspiracies theories mentioned.
There is the "faked moon landings" question, and there is the "astronauts see large UFOs on the moon." Obviously both of these theories cannot be correct, they could both be wrong also. I personally feel the moon landings were faked out of the fear of losing the 'space race' with the Russians at the time. We simply didn't have the technology to achieve this in 1969 and keep the pilots alive, much less film themselves , do experiments, drive around the moon in a dune buggy, and safely return to Earth and give everybody high fives. I've heard the computers that NASA used at the time were the equivilent of a three dollar calculator. Hmmm...
But I hate the fact that believing this would destroy the "astronauts see UFOs on the moon" articles, of which I'd like to believe. But sadly, they cannot both be true.
