The suits are basically made by sewing and cementing various materials together, and then attaching metal parts that let you join the different components together. Suit materials include: ortho-fabric, aluminized mylar, neoprene-coated nylon, dacron, urethane-coated nylon, tricot, nylon/spandex, stainless steel, and high strength composite materials
Explain how they traveled 500,000 miles with a little bit more fuel than the shuttle????

Lets just take a step back and consider another perspective...Lets suppose we went to the moon, it was tough and hard...collected rocks etc...put the reflectors there and did everything that was documented. BUT...what would happen if the collective images, photography etc failed.
The hasselblad, the images yes they were bad...would it be so terrible if Nasa suddenly said yeah we did it...but we failed in our technology to give you all what you expected?...and yes if that were the case they should admit it...but then what proof?..and we would all be on their backs....
What is my spin?...damned if they do...damned if they don't...I don't frikkin know if they went or not now...which is sad because I was there at the time...As time goes on...everyone is so into the detail...the evidence of this, the evidence of that.....only the astronauts know...
My only wish is that i hope in my heart of hearts it happened...and if it is proven the images had to be ramped up......I hope they are able to show both sides of the coin....
I hope we went to the moon...pure and simple...and I hope we go back someday.

This post is a total epic fail.
I'm facepalming as we speak.
Are you serious. Your proof of a faked landing is that the flag is pointing a different way?
I'm looking at the flag. And it's pointing in the same direction both before and after takeoff.
I think that's obvious to anyone looking.

Wow, one whole reference to "neutron resistant foil". That's what I thought.
Neutron Resistant Foil
Because, whether it was lead, gold, osmium, no foil would actually be resistant to neutrons.

Yeah yeah yeah, I know all about it. Some of the hard cosmic rays are iron nuclei travelling with the force of a tennis ball going 76 mph. But it's an iron nuclei, so if it happens to pass through you, RIP. But you don't need such a relatively rare event to spoil your two weeks or so in space. There's plenty of lesser radiation which would practically cook you if you tried to transit the belts in a thin-walled aluminum ship in a linen suit with aluminum foil sewn in.
None of the evidence against the lunar landings holds up.

MONTREAL - Did all the manned U.S. lunar landings between July 1969 and December 1972 actually take place or were they hoaxes?
A Canadian book publisher has taken a closer look at images acquired by the Apollo 14 astronauts just before they left the moon 40 years ago.
What Robert Godwin uncovered will probably provide more ammunition for those who doubt a U.S. astronaut ever set foot on Earth's celestial neighbour.
Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin are credited with being the first humans to set foot on the moon, on July 20, 1969.
One frequently used argument is that video of the Stars and Stripes planted on lunar soil appears to show the flags blowing in the wind — even though there's no atmosphere on the moon.
Godwin says two frames of film taken from the Apollo 14 lunar lander in February 1971 may lead some people to believe that's true.
In one frame, the American flag is pointed to the right, while in another frame, it's pointing in another direction — to the left.
Godwin, 53, says he was drawn to Apollo 14 after viewing high-resolution images of that landing site which were taken recently by a lunar reconnaissance satellite.
"I've watched every scrap of film, every scrap of video and looked at every single photograph I got from NASA," he told The Canadian Press in an interview from Toronto. That amounts to about 40,000 still pictures and "many, many hours of film footage" — and all TV footage from Apollo 11 through Apollo 17. (The Apollo 13 mission had to be aborted before the spacecraft reached the moon).
He tried to stitch together a composite picture to show the entire view out the window of "Antares", the Apollo 14 lunar lander, using some photos.
Godwin said one still image was missing — but, fortunately, the astronauts had filmed it with a movie camera from almost exactly the same location.
"So I went to grab the final part of the missing panorama from the 16-millimetre movie and in the process of doing that I realized there was this interesting disparity between frames on the 16-millimetre film," he told The Canadian Press. "My first reaction was: 'What's going on here? How is it possible that the flag can turn around 120 degrees?'."

In the takeoff picture, the flag is pointing away from the rover I think it is called?

Ya I agree.But NASA said the C rock was a hair on the picture during the picture development if it's true or not I don't know.
