Side question Denver
How often is the moon struck by asteroids did they ever consider that to be a danger or has most of the activity from that sort of thing halted?
Apollo astronauts were never bothered by these projectiles. The Moon has a surface area roughly equal to the continent of Africa. "If you spread the impacts over so much terrain, the probability of being hit is very low," says Cooke. It helped that the astronauts didn't stay long: Adding all Apollo missions together, they were on the lunar surface less than two weeks. "The odds of being hit during such a short time were, again, very low."
how often and how hard the Moon is hit lie in data from four seismometers placed on the Moon by the Apollo 12, 14, 15, and 16 missions during 1969-72. They operated until NASA turned them off in 1977. For years, the seismometers recorded all manner of tremors and jolts, including almost 3000 moonquakes, 1700 meteoroid strikes, and 9 spacecraft deliberately crashed into the Moon. All these data were transmitted to Earth for analysis.
Also, in 1972, a 1,100 kg (2,400 lb) asteroid hit the Moon just north of Mare Nubium, the Sea of Clouds. It was a major impact recorded at all four seismic stations. "When we look at the seismic waveform of that asteroid," says Cooke, "we see that it has the same characteristics as the man-made impacts—a good sign that we know what we’re doing." Cooke and Diekmann will hunt for impacts in the Apollo seismic records using these known waveforms as a reference. In theory, they should be able to pick out tremors from objects as small as 10 centimeters (4 inches), weighing as little as 1 kg (2.2 lb). "Four inches doesn't sound like much, but traveling at cosmic velocities, a four-inch meteoroid can blast a crater as wide as your desk." According to the Standard Model, such meteoroids hit the Moon approximately 400 times a year—more than once a day. (Picture a map of Africa stuck with 400 pushpins.) The Apollo seismic dataset can test that prediction and many others.

Of all the footage that questions whether man landed on the moon, it is the landing footage. The following is the approach and landing of Apollo 12-
EDIT- straight to the chase as it were-
Pause the video at two points-
1- 3:20 into the video. Pause it and look at the detail. This is approx 400 feet up.
2- 4:50 into the video. Pause it and look at the detail. This is after the module has landed and the dust has settled.
Ask yourself, what difference do you see- could you even tell which image was which if I just showed you those two pictures without telling you which one was which?
The answer is no.
Under normal circumstances, if you come in to land, you would surely be able to tell the difference from when you were 400 feet above the surface and when you were on it- it's just obvious yet the moon landing footage defies this logic.edit on 3-9-2012 by Wonderer2012 because: (no reason given)

I have seen your claim before and again it fails to supply proof.

Well you're convinced so they did their job well enough.

And you're convinced they didn't so Bill Kaysing did his job well enough.

Yes I agree. My teachers and parents encouraged critical thinking and I learned how to do that very well thank you.

Thanks Denver
I have no doubt that one day we will have one up there but it will need to be built extremely tough for protection.
