Default Conspiracy Theory: Apollo Moon Landing

Did The Apollo Astronauts Land On The Moon

Motives For The Hoax
1. Cold-War prestige — The U.S. government considered it vital that the U.S. win the space race against the Soviet Union. Going to the Moon was risky and expensive (John F. Kennedy famously said that the U.S. chose to go because it was difficult.) Despite close monitoring by the Soviet Union, Bill Kaysing believes that it would have been easier for the U.S. to fake it, and consequently guarantee success, than for the U.S. actually to go.
2. Money — NASA raised approximately $30 billion to go to the Moon. Bill Kaysing thinks that this amount could have been used to pay off a large number of people, providing significant motivation for complicity.
3. Risk — This argument assumes that the problems early in the space program were insurmountable, even by a technology team fully motivated and funded to fix the problems. Kaysing claimed that the chance of a successful landing on the moon was calculated to be 0.017%
4. Distraction — According to hoax proponents the U.S. government benefited from a popular distraction from the Vietnam war. Lunar activities suddenly stopped, with planned missions canceled, around the same time that the U.S. ceased its involvement in the Vietnam War. (However, the Apollo program was canceled several years before the Vietnam War ended.)
5. Saving face — To seemingly fulfill president Kennedy's 1961 promise "to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth."

No of course they did not land on the moon. They presumably have the technology to get there and yet the new moon landing ambitions are going to take another 20-30 years to achieve....... Ha..

America is worried sick that the chinese have moon landing ambitions which if achieved would explode the myth that America planted any USA flag on there. Hence the latest so called plans to revisit. They have never been there and probably never will. If/When China drops its plans you will see a different change of policy from the USA.......

The main problem with this is that the Apollo missions were tracked by the Russians, and other countries hostile to the US. If it had been faked, someone would have cried foul to embarrass the US.

If you have any real issues, I would suggest you look at Bad Astronomy or Clavius

These are two movies I have done myself in debunking the moon hoax conspiracy



This one is about Non parallel shadows



This deals with the lack of stars in the photographs

Whether or not you like it, they landed on the moon. The moon landing conspiracy is a prime example of the "come-up-with-a-conspiracy-and-then-come-up-with-proof" conspiracy.
