Was the moon landing real?
Was the moon landing of 50 years ago real? This is a question I've been asking myself for a while. Now I have taken the time to research and discover this conspiracy theory.
The Apollo 11 spaceship was launched on the 20th July 1969, this was so long ago that surely some expedition to the moon should have been made since? Now, here is the part where most people start to get suspicious about this so-called "moon landing." Russians go to space all the time, but it seems they've never been to the moon, which gives people an idea that America can't have possibly done it.
Some people believe the photos are fake because there are no stars in the sky. some also question the USA flag which appears to be moving, when there is no air in space.
Some people believe it's impossible for spaceships to pass through the Van Allen Belts. Theses would expose astronauts to levels of radiation which would kill them.
While one in six people believe the moon landing was a hoax, it would be a huge conspiracy to cover up, involving thousands of people.
Perhaps the reason we have not been back to the moon is simply because the world has different priorities and it's a hugely expensive mission.
The astronaughts did come back with moon rock which has been studied by scientists for decades and confirmed as genuine.
You can still see the footprints of the astronauts on the moon from space. Also, some equipment was left behind including retroreflecters and many are still operating today.
As for the Van Allen Belts, the Apollo 11 crew stated that they were in the belts for less than two hours, which puts them within the safe limit of radiation exposure.
Having considered both sides of the argument, I am still not convinced that the moon landing was real.

I disagree with you, as the astronauts on the mission stated themselves that the flag only looks like it is blowing, and is, in fact, being held up by a horizontal rod. (1:12-2:12 https://www.youtube.com/watchv=PxpecER2hmU). In addition to this, It would not benefit the USA much, apart from winning the space race and ending the cold war. Besides, thousands of people SAW the Saturn V rocket launch. As there is so much evidence, I think it is unlikely that
the Apollo 11 mission was fake.

I think that your point about the flag moving without air but I was always old that there was still a breeze in space.

I think the moon landing is real because 600 million people watched as Neil Armstrong set foot onto the Moon. Also the flag may fly up because of gravity but then it shall just stay there. In addition, the Russians may have stopped exploring the moon because the Americans had already won the Cold War.

The moon landing was real because it was on the radio and television at the time. Another reason I know that the moon landing was real w is because the only way America could have one the Space Race would be by sending a man to the moon and returning him safely back to Earth.

Was the moon landing of 50 years ago real?
Can you find evidence to help you decide?

Will someone ever go to the moon again?

I am not sure if the space landing was real or fake.
I think it was real because it was on TV and on the radio. Also Neil Armstrong was interviewed so it must be true or he lied to every one and I don't think he would lie.

I think the moon landing is real because the third man came from the space ship and they had been real footprints and they put the USA 🇺🇸 flag on it

I personally believe the moon landing was fake. As there has been may occurrences that have never been explained and have seemed to be swept under the rug buy NASA. For example, like you mentioned the flag was moving in an area that according to NASA has no wind. There’s also the fact that there seems to be a studio reflected on the astronaut’s helmets. Since the moon landing all original evidence that was stored in the archives has been lost and all machinery and rocket has been destroyed meaning there’s no proof whether its true or not. Also, everything we know about space has been told to us by NASA meaning there’s no other sources to confirm or deny anything, meaning everything we now know about space may be a myth or a massive worldwide conspiracy to try and manipulate the way we see the world to help the world leaders control us.
You say all evidence stored in the archives has been lost - can you back this up?

i do not think so i might not be right

I believe the moon landing was not real because the USA flag was waving in space and on the moon however on there is no atmosphere on the moon and if you brought a fan how can you plug it in, the rocket needs valuable energy to run communication to mission control in NASA and when I looked up the space landing on google why was the NO stars and there was footprints everywhere plus the reflection of the astronauts helmet shows a part of a ... camera crew!!! There was definitely at least 3 astronauts in the picture but It was claimed that only 2 was on the moon, What do you think. link for. The picture https://images.app.goo.gl/C5Bx7ykEk54jm55v9

I think that the moon landing was real because they brought back moon rock and where else would they have found that? Also it would be very hard to cover up a secret as big as that and thousands of people would have watched the rocket take off with their own eyes. Now the moon landing has been played on TV a lot of times and at the time was played on the radio. So surely someone would have found out it was fake if it was after 50 years.
What if the Moon rock was just an unknown material that can be found on earth?
Geologists would have discovered this material if other people did and all geologists can not be in on the secret.
