In two of the photos you posted above,the 2nd and 3rd,i can clearly and obviously see where the mockup lunar surface meets,joins and trys to blend into the painted to (almost) look the same background, just like so many hollywood movies use to do that were filmed on sound stages in the past...edit on 4-4-2012 by blocula because: (no reason given)

The whole notion of going to the moon with our technology that we had in the '60s is nothing short of ludicrous..
It would be as ridiculous as someone crossing the Atlantic Ocean with the technology they had in 1492. How did Columbus cross the ocean without diesel engines, radiotelephones and GPS navigation? Impossible, right?
Nasa and the government claiming its too expensive to return humans to the moon,as a valiid reason why they never went back,is laughable in the extreme and shows just how stupid they think we actually are,they have had 40 years to try and go back and surely during all that time,they could have started a new moon landing savings account comprised of our extorted tax billions,or just used the interest garnered from their fabricated wars budget...

So, in summery, in saying that the evidence is conflicting because it is, I have done all the research for and against and it is very much conflicting so I want to be clear.
Here is what we are proposing as more possible.
In 1969 while they were still listening to records we sent a spacecraft beyond Earths orbit and landed on the moon with no complications, the men that went there took hundreds of perfect photos, planted a flag, had a field day among countless anomalies that have pointed out by thousands of people. No problem, landed, took off, no hitch all on the first try with tech that couldn't power a modern day simple dollar store calculator in hand stitched uniforms.
Ok fine, that said. The reason they haven't been back is it is too expensive now? No reason to go back? We already did it, why would we do it again?

I think the moon is an annunaki death star,a space battleship and perhaps its even what we call noahs ark,built in orbit around mars,as that planets biosphere was dying off and its atmosphere was fading away and the craters and surface scars on the moon may have been the result of some ancient interstellar war fought long ago,which is now all but forgotten and that ancient war may have even destroyed an entire planet or moon,remnants of which we call the asteroid belt...edit on 4-4-2012 by blocula because: (no reason given)
didnt you state it is too cold to get to the moon.. you expect something at a freezing temperature which makes things super brittle, to be able to land on the moon intact?
also i dont know about you, but i have no idea what purpose parachutes have on the moon. do you even know how parachutes work?edit on 4-4-2012 by blocula because: (no reason given)
The moon controlls the tide the sea theyve been there done that and bought moon rock t shirt now why go waste billions of more dollars fly back to the moon when the united states economy could benefit more from not going back there spend all that money to play in the dirt. .the moon is threre for earths purpose to controll the sea .makes more sense than a starwars death star.them craters are impact craters not not some starwars thing you claim.

Hundreds of millions of people thinking and believing that no one went to the moon is not a "wild exaggeration"...
Around 20% of americans think the moon landings were a hoax and so with an american population of about 300 million,thats about 60 million people...
In russia about 25% of people think that the moon landings were a hoax and so with a russain popualtion of around 140 million,thats about 35 million more people...
Then if i extrapolate those figures out across the entire world,theres easily many 100's of millions, perhaps even a billion people who think and believe the same thing...
Although its not politically correct or socially acceptable to go against the mainstream,those numbers are staggering...
blocular so because the people have spoken in there view does that in your eyes think that can be used as proof..? all that is is just an opinion factor and not the proof you seek that man has not set foot on the moon etc
The descent stage of the supposed real lunar module weighed around 23,000 lbs and so why didnt all that weight just fall out of the lunar sky and crash onto the moons surface from high above while trying to land?
and realizing that theres supposedly no available air surrounding the moon to inflate a parachute,i'm expected to believe that the modules 12 ton weight was held suspended,then gradually and softly lowered and landed using only small powered,guiding and maneuvering rockets?
Or maybe the lunar module was able to gracefully descend like magic? Once again,no way? It didnt really happen...

Here is what is hard to "figure out". our president said we would go to the moon by the end of the decade even though every scientific mind on Earth said....... "um no".
That aside, we went to the Moon didn't we? We did so in the very height of the cold war, in the very face of our enemy and in fact, the whole world.
We went to the Moon.................. We launched people from the Earth, landed them on the moon, allowed them to enjoy a time share, bounce around take hundreds of pictures, collect moon rocks, revel in our glory and all was just fine. We did all of that, no problem, piece of cake, absolutely no problem, this is witnessed by all of our stellar photographs, videos, live communications and memories. American Pie.
How come we have an ISS? How come if it was child's play as evidenced by our first attempt we don't have a moon base? We know there is water right? We know we can go and come back in tinfoil craft with hand stitched suites, should be a joke to to do these days right? How come we aren't all set up launching missions from there now? How come? Too expensive? Wrong......... So why?
All of you that are claiming science as your basis for fact are robbing yourself of the most basic facts, what tends to be the simplest solution is probably correct. Instead of trying to figure out all of the above, perhaps you should consider that the most viable answer is that we were never there in the first place.

Well, I'm sure one of the first things they'd stock the base with would be bombs of some sort. Once the base is manned and supplied, it's vastly easier and cheaper to attack the Earth from the moon than the other way around.
Hell, they could just launch big chunks of rock at our gravity well. Something the size of a semi, or a house, would make a big damn bang when it hit.
