Originally posted by cryrst Yup Technically not there ! I think we have reached a time where it is difficult to prove anything with pictures. They can be faked. One would actually have to go to the Moon and see for themselves to be totally convinced. It doesn't help when NASA seem to avoid providing proof, but that in itself does not prove or disprove anything. If the Moon landings were faked, it is such a massive and embarrassing story that America could never admit to it. Therefore, we will never know either way. I'd liken it to the Kennedy assignation. If it were revealed that the Mob killed Kennedy and not just Oswald then it would be highly embarrassing. It would be even more embarrassing if they had had help from elements inside the US government. Those stories will be buried until everyone who knows the truth are dead and then the truth will be whatever you want it to be. That's not to say that I am convinced that the Moon landings were fake by the way. The weight of evidence is against that.

The official explanation as to why they haven't sounds like hogwash I have to say. I think the official explanation is something like "well we mine much better green cheese in the Black Hills of Dakota so why would we bother?" ============ The Ferret ============

To be fair, if moon rocks and a ton of film/photographic evidence isn't enough then nothing is. Plus the eye-witnessed take off etc. Also, there were 6 moon landings there after and unmanned landings until 2013. The reason they stopped going boils down to money: the space station makes money through research and development/product testing and mars expeditions for the unmanned crafts are cost effective given the tech investment and commercial viability. The moon, in short, doesn't bank coin.

The US government has alien technology or perhaps just human technology so advanced that it renders Moon missions redundant.

Originally posted by Hrolf The Ganger If the Moon landings were faked, it is such a massive and embarrassing story that America could never admit to it. Therefore, we will never know either way. To my mind, if there was the faintest sniff that the landings had been faked, Russia (and nowadays, CHina) would be all over it. They'd be hell-bent on exposing the 'cover-up' as a way of seriously embarrassing the States. I would have thought the cost of sending a probe to photograph untouched landing site areas would be well worth it. I find it hard to think that a small group of youtube-posting conspiracy theorists have more evidence than the might of the Russian space and Intelligence agencies. When the time comes, I want die just like my Dad - at peace and asleep. Not screaming and terrified. Like his passengers.

Pictures have been taken of the landing sites but not close ups. I suppose that secret joint operations in space, perhaps with cooperation between the major powers, could be happening to keep it away from prying eyes. There was some hint of that in the Pentagon files exposed by Gary McKinnon. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (27 Dec 2018 6.30pm)
