  • fucking bollocks

  • 240p we meet again.

  • Comment removed

  • @llmike23ll  high def from 1969?

  • We paid billions of dollars to send these guys to the moon to play golf. THIS IS WHY AMERICA IS IN DEBT!

  • @MHG10908 It cost roughly 29 billion USD (maybe around 178 billion by today's value) and the missions returned unparalleled data, including moon samples, still generating knowledge today. They also advanced technological development significantly. Playing golf was symbolic. I'm sure that's why America is in debt and not the 700 billion USD bailout.

  • @MHG10908 "We paid billions of dollars to send these guys to the moon to play golf."

    That's like two minutes out of almost 600 man hours spent by NASA on the Moon - give the guy a break.

  • Imagine if they were to play golf on the moon in 20 or 30 years from now. I wonder if it would be something like this:

    "Okay, watch this!"

    *swings*

    "Ha! Hole-in-one! Try and beat that."

    "No problem, dude."

    *swings*

    "There! A ball-in-orbit!"

  • Would they really have had the time to waste doing such stuff or the space on board to pack golf equipment? Accch

  • In the vacuum of space the golf ball would have expanded in volume, to approximately the size of a beach ball.

    Further evidence that this was faked.

  • @redtedinbed Are you stupid or something? A golf ball is a solid object, there is no air contained within it and it would not expand. I work with vacuum chambers all the time. We put balls and marbles-sized things in them all the time. They don't expand, and if you even took high school physics that would be obvious. And what pseudo science did you use to get the estimation of beach ball sized?

    You know what, this has to be a troll. Nobody can really be this stupid.

  • @imjtblanton

    I also work with vacuum cleaners and I have proof that if one sucks up a golf ball it expands in size to a beach ball. I did not use some pseudo science to determine this. I used empirical evidence gained from a Titliest ball and an Electrolux vacuum cleaner.

  • what I find fascinating about this video is that when the assumed ball is supposedly dropped, it doesn't show up in the video until it is just about to hit the moon's surface...interesting that he never calls it a golf ball! It looks more like a blip on a radar screen, which can go for 'miles and miles and miles'!

  • if i was neil armstrong the first thing i would have done when i landed on the moon would be lifting the space ship up because it would be so light

  • @legokid5872 The gravity isn't zero on the moon it would still be too heavy to lift...

  • if i was neil armstrong the first thing i would have done when i landed on the moon would be lifting the space ship up because it would be so light

  • @legokid5872 The lunar module weighed over 36,000 pounds. On the moon it would have weighed around 6,000 pounds. That's like trying to lift a fully grown elephant.

  • @imjtblanton

    Ascent module total mass was 4547 kg (weight on moon approx 740 kg)

    Ascent engine thrust 3500 lb f (16000 n)

    The physics are straight forward and the thrust to weight ratio was in excess of 2:1, more than adequate to lift off and return to lunar orbit.

  • @TheSpiritof1969 What? legokid5871 said that Armstrong should have lifted up the space ship up because it would be so light on the moon. I told him that would be like lifting an elephant. So...

  • nice moment to do the 'MOONWALK'

  • imagine how much that golf club must be worth

  • @TripleA900 not even tiger woods could buy it, methinks :)

  • let me start by saying i don't really know if this is fake or not. but i find it interesting how fast the object he drops at 0:55 sec falls. i found this explanation of moon gravity, and please correct me if i'm wrong. "The moon's gravitational force is approximately one-sixth that of Earth's attraction, so an eraser dropped from the same height (4 ft) on the moon would require three seconds of time before striking the lunar surface.

  • @varnliche GREAT! YOU DEBUNKED THIS APOLLO MISSION! now you can proceed in making your PhD in physics!

  • @volvoxmusix thank you, and i wish you well with getting your masters in youtube troll

  • Comment removed

  • @imjtblanton

    Its been a long time since I did this physics but surely the acceleration due to gravity of a freefalling object is 32 ft.sec.sec on earth. In the moons one sixth gravity surely this would be reduced to just over 5 ft.sec.sec?

  • @imjtblanton here's another video demonstrating moon gravity. the objects fall slower than the "golf ball" or whatever he dropped. why the inconsistency? youtube.com/watch?v=aCTHVhCQSQ­s

  • @varnliche Cool video. Thanks. By the way, the video quality is way too bad to tell what is going on. The original video is decent quality, but this 240p stuff makes it impossible to really see anything.

  • what a sick guy :D Alan was bored :P

  • lol, what an idea - "let's play GOLF on the moon!".

    It was an awesome way to test the gravity there, though. XD

  • We payed good tax money, so that two cosmonauts can, *in british accent* Enjoy a game of sport and have a nice tea!

  • The Apollo footage taken is quite good quality.It's just people have made muliti generational copies.Add to that huge digital compression and artifacts.Then de-rez it to 240p like here for the internet.Look at an old print from a 60's TV show and how bad and faded it looks.Then see a new copy scanned at full HD or better 4K res and leave it uncompressed.It looks like it's been shot today.

  • Why is there no decent quality footage of the moon? We can create a mutli-billion dollar space craft and launch a dog into space but they can't afford a bloody handycam.

  • @pyromanizak

    Handycam... first model produced in 1985 so 15 years after Apollo. And they were still larger and used far more power than the Apollo TV camera used.

    If you want decent quality footage you need the 16mm film shot, but unfortunately as that is large and bulky they only had limited amounts.

  • damn he sucks

  • There we go............Mile and miles and miles.

  • They were hitting golf balls to see if they could put one into orbit around the moon. If you hit a golf ball just right, it would have enough speed to enter orbit around the moon. Houston was getting upset because anything you do on the moon is potentially dangerous. If the astronauts accidentally punctured their suits, it would've been an instant death.

  • @jflaugher he forgot to yell 4 any one who has seen missle to the moon knows there are men who live in the  mountain rocks on the moon

  • ...Van allen belt. Actually these have all being proven wrong, with Van allen (whom they name the belts after) stating that it would not have killed the astronauts Neil or Buzz. The fact is; there are always going to be people who doubt facts. Sadly in this case, they are doubting facts they see with their physical eyes. God bless America.

  • I have to admit that I find it quite amusing that people come here and look at the videos. Then they subsequently say: "This is fake". In actual fact the reason they say such things is that they have doubts in their mind regarding the truth of the matter. The onus is really on people to prove the landings were fake, which they haven't. There has been talk about the moving flags, technology not having been advanced at that time; race with the Russians; pictures in low Earth orbit etc. Van allen..

  • @empirestatebuilding1 yes but it does look rather fake if you consider the fact that the dust fell instantly when the gravity is meant to be about an eighth on the moon.

  • @sheepyclick

    A sixth. And what would you expect the dust to do, hover?

  • @ytmoog no but i would expect it to stay suspended for slightly longer

  • @sheepyclick

    You can tell that from this low res copy of dust from that height?

    This video :

    watch?v=sk5GiF_mX5w

    Is much clearer and at a higher resolution, it shows the reduced gravity and vacuum very well. See the neat parabolic arcs made by the dust as he digs...

  • @ytmoog what you should do is make a video pointing out all the "real" bits.

  • @sheepyclick

    See above.

  • lovely footage!

  • @empirestatebuilding1 lovely fake footage :)

  • @ubermonkey120 Actually, no, he doesn't sound very retarded.

  • 4!

    

  • alan shepard was the 5th astronaut to walk on the moon, but the only astronaut to leave his wallet there.

  • Right about how that ball hall landed on some alien world and killed someone. Good job.

  • It was 50 years ago tomorrow, when the first human went into space.

  • Fake.

    So was the oversized bottle rocket they fit the 'astronauts'(clay people) in and shot out over the ocean.

    I do like the use of green screen though

  • @ubermonkey120 green screen 1971ish? retard

    hell we can go to mars, why the hell cant we go to the moon

    only dumb people who dont understand how capable smart people are think this is fake, just bc you cant do math dosnt mean nobody can.

  • @KingSlimjeezy Math is the devil's cock and space travel is his semen penetrating the egg of your mother's oversized body.Mars is false.I have proven it in my book "The Devil's Genitaltalia"

    If mars is real,Why cant I see it?

    If mars is real,Why haven't aliens (Not the stupid mexican ones,the stupid muslim Mars dwellers)Taken me to the sex hole?

    You and the rest of your ilk are stupider than a terrestrial muslim.

  • @ubermonkey120 Do you people even GET internet in the South? LMAO

  • @kayasulley No.I lootled this from a supply caravan.It was carrying the horse's semen.The semen of horse is semen of devil.Because both Adam and Eve had sex with a horse.I destroyed the caravan and stole their internet tubes.

  • @ubermonkey120 Internet tubes. :L

  • @kayasulley Shut up sand man.Stop watching the fake moon landing.It is fake.So is the mars.End of discussion stupid idiot

  • @ubermonkey120 suck my penis hill billy.

  • @kayasulley No.Homosexuals should be caught on fire and then kicked to near-death and then sprayed with pepper sprays all over the sores fro mthe fire.

  • @ubermonkey120 its cute how big your imagination is.

  • @kayasulley You my friend,Are fucking retarded.

  • i got an idea! lets travel 250k miles to play golf on the moon. lol

  • Ok this is getting stupid dudes. Seriously you took up the whole entire first page of comments up with your stupid arguments. Lets just say YOU ARE BOTH RETARDS and get it over with. I'm sick of it.

  • @mrconradhoppe LMAO speaking of retards! At least get your keywords right. That's HAARP and Blue BOOK. And I am probably far more familiar with all of those topics than you are.

    You are a poor, sad excuse for a conspiracy nut. Please go away.

  • @mrconradhoppe You will PAY me for these posts?? How generous! Thank you! That is very kind of you considering that YOU started this thread. But you confuse me with your apparent spite and hate. Why would you do this?

  • @mrconradhoppe You appear to have some sort of mental dysfunction. I suggest you get that looked at. Bldg 7 wasn't at issue here. But since you brought it up, you should probably look it up and learn for yourself that it was knocked down because it had been damaged by the other buildings. yes, there were suspicious aspects to that whole incident, but again, it has nothing whatever to do with the lunar landings.

  • @mrconradhoppe Temper, temper little girl. Someone needs to wash your mouth out with soap! lol

    The liars are the ones saying we've never gone to the moon. And I really don't care who YOU worship.

  • What if the one handed golf swinging Astronaut smashes his visor? or hits a rock up into his face? or the ball ricochets off a rock and rips the module? they wouldnt of dreamt of ruining the mission with unsafe experiments like this or the ludicrous hammer throw right next to lunar module that could have ended the mission there and then.

  • I would say, James May's tests never seemed to be worth to me. However this one with the moon buggy mark 2 was simple astounding. Yep Mister May and others, if you are watching lets rise an awareness and start funding for the next moon mission to send this poor buggy into the moon!

  • @mofahu it probably wont work now since he kept crashing it

  • Does anyone else see the dalek?? :O

  • We DID have better quality cameras back then.Problem was weight. A decent camera would have weighed too much to take along.

  • @LarryH54 also battery life

  • i wish they spent more research money on HD cameras.

  • @gadjox

    hahaha yes!

  • anyone else here because of Top Gear? :D

  • @gadjox Yes lol

  • @gadjox Thats exactly why im here lol

  • yes..XD

  • @gadjox

    yup :)

  • @gadjox hahahahaha

  • @gadjox

    Golf on the Moon

    FILMED ON PLANET EARTH

  • @gadjox ye just watched it :)

  • thank you very much - love your taste

  • Comment removed

  • @ganstahfosho Conspiracy theorist much LOL dude get your head out of your ass XD

  • @LtMarksLixer OK dud, I will if you get your's out of the government spin doctor's

  • So would the golf ball go into orbit around the moon come all the way around and hit you in the back of the head?

  • @Irishfreedom No it would not. the suit is to constricting to hit it that hard.

  • Alan Shepard’s longest golf shot on the lunar surface only traveled about fifty feet.

  • did they fuck each other on the moon ?

  • Is all filmed footage of the moon in the dark?

  • @shiftins6 the camera was always pointed away from the sun. pointing it into the sun would fry the inside of the camera...which is exactly what happened on apollo 12.

  • it's just one opinion of two:

    1:landing on moon was fake..

    or

    2:the sand and dast have a gravity on the moon

  • @GaLM00D Nothing "has" gravity but is affected by it. Gravity does in fact exist on the moon despite it being about six times less important than on our planet, thus being the reason why the sand falls back towards the center of mass (moon) this phenomenon is described as gravity and therefore renders your argument inconclusive.

  • The moon landing was fake. I can prove it.

    Can anyone here actually see the moon? What, you can't? Exactly! There is no moon!

    TAKE THAT NASA.

  • While they were playing golf on the moon, not too far away the Soviet moon rover was collecting data and doing science related stuff.

  • @cassius969 Lol your a retard you think they went to the moon to mainly have fun? dumbshit they collected 500 pounds of samples.

  • god bless the sheapard crew

  • "We choose to go to the moon..not because it is easier..but because it is easier to hit a golf ball farther there".

  • I wanna be the first person to do a quadrople backflip double x-axis spin ... on the moon

  • @Newtonballs26 I want be the first person to comment on YouTube from the moon. Here's what that comment might look like.

    NASA LIES. MOON LANDINGS A HOAX.

    Then I go out and rob the Apollo 11 landing site.

  • @dualarbiter Again, I repeat. "HOW MUCH" sand was kicked up is not the problem. The problem is how "FAR UP" the sand is kicked up. WIthout air resistence and water particles, and little gravity, do you think the sand would only fly that much up, and fall right back down like on Earth?

  • @vinnieray1 It wasn't "sand" it was a very fine dust. In an atmosphere, it would have billowed and floated down much slower.

  • @vinnieray1

    Of course it does. The gravity on Earth is only 6times more important. I bet that if you compare two videos showing man hitting a moon sand ground on Earth and on Moon, you would see that th falling time on Moon is actually around 6 times bigger. We don't realize that during golf opens on Tv, but the sand fells back pretty fast, because we're used to slow motions...

  • @dualarbiter I'm not talking about "how much" sand was kicked up. I'm talking about HOW FAR the sand should kick up. No air resistance, no water particles, smaller gravity - don't you think sand will kick up a MILE after the swing? No, in the video the sand falls right back down, almsot the same way as on earth. Explain that, please.

  • @vinnieray1 I agree with you, vinnieray

    Ever since I read David Niven's autobiography I've been convinced that the moon is, actually, a balloon.

  • Comment removed

  • After all these years and technological advances since the first landing, you'd think we can get at least one HD display by now.

  • @dualarbiter The only thing that can make sand "stick" together is water.

    I do take your point that sand should be very rough on the moon. However, how much resistance force can really come from having rough shapes? The sand was clearly "smooth" enough for the astranauts to leave perfect footprints all over. Please provide a mathematical explanation on how the rough shapes can make up for the forces left by the absence of water and air resistance, and much less gravity. I'm listening.

  • @vinnieray1

    Additionally, everyone in the government who would have to be involved. The people who had to set up the fake studio. The scientists to let the makers of the studio know how to set up a realistic moon-like atmosphere. Engineers to figure out how to take a pre-recorded fake moon landing and shoot it into space to transmit a signal back... since that's the only way to explain how the signal was being transmitted from the ship because if it wasn't even more people would be involved.

  • FAKE ??????????????????????????????­???/

  • I really like how half the people commenting on this video are somehow experts on the moon landings, gravity, and know what the effects of hitting a golf ball with a golf club on the moon are.......................

  • @99thmonkee But, you'd say they made orbit? Yes??

  • Creative Commons Attribution License? This is NASA footage from the 1970s..!!

  • Fakest thing ever.

    Look at how the dust flies. It doesn't look much different than on earth. On the moon, after a swing there should be a sandstorm. Calculate the force of a swing versus the weight of a dust particle. It's 10,000 to 1. After a swing, each dust particle should shoot up a mile. That doesn't happen on earth for 3 reasons: gravity, air resistence, the omnipresent water particles which act like a glue.

    On the moon, there's little of the first, none of the other two.

  • @vinnieray1

    So why would NASA fake it? Better yet, why would NASA fake it 6 times? Do you have any idea how many thousands of people would need to be in on 6 fake moon landings and yet nobody has ever blown the whistle?

    Faking it once given the cold war etc would have been understandable, but then to proceed to fake it several more times for...............?

    Give me a break, most lunar conspirators I've spoken to didn't even know there was more than one moon landing.

  • @CodeVillain Why would NASA fake it? How about...to look like we won the space race?

    Why 6 times...common sense. If the first "star wars" made a ton of money, why would you NOT make 5 sequels?

    The thousands of people who were involved, how many would really know what happened? If let's say they did everything except put the astranauts in there the last minute - how many would know? The computer engineers? The lander designers? No, they would have NO idea. 3 astranauts know, that's it.

  • @vinnieray1

    You're so stupid it's borderline adorable.

    You're missing tons of people in that list... far too many for me to post in one comment.

    Software engineers to take the current software built and have it feed back false data back on ground would have to have known. The people who had to secretly put the materials up on the moon (like the reflector which you can shoot a laser at and have it bounce back proving it is there)

    Sending second post one moment.

  • @CodeVillain

    Let's see, you have no answer to the scientific arguments I made (no water, no air resistance, small gravity, should be a sandstorm). So you make this non-sequitur "the rest of NASA would blow the whistle" argument. Then you resort to name calling. You're clearly incapable of a rational debate, so I won't bother with answering you.

  • @vinnieray1

    There was no air resistance... just like there shouldn't be in space.... since there's no air. The flag doesn't shake except when they're shaking it, which in a vacuum like space causes momentum which many think may be air but if you look a few seconds after they stop touching it then it never moves.

    Small gravity, yes, there was small gravity you could see abnormal hopping motions and the ground rover video.

    Sand storm, no water? Don't know what you're talking about here.

  • @vinnieray1

    Haha, of course you're not going to answer me. I just completely destroyed almost your entire argument. You were seriously dumb enough to try to be saying that pretty much no one except the astronauts would need to be involved and I just proved that many, many people would have to be involved. So instead you say because I didn't reply to something and insulted your intelligence that you won't bother answering me.

    Now I've replied to your "scientific arguments" they're crap.

  • 400,000 + people worked on the Apollo Project. Nearly as many worked on the Soyuz in Russia. rarely can 2 people ever keep a secret let alone nearly one-million people on either side. Lets not forget, the Russians were watching us as closely as we were watching them. And if anybody in Russia caught wind that this was faked, then I'm sure Kruschev would have come out of retirement and started banging that shoe again.

  • @maxkauf

    Let's say they did land on the moon, but faked the pictures and video footages. Out of the 400,000 how many would know that?

    400,000+ people were involved in the gulf war. Does that mean 400,000 would know that the Pat Tillman story was made up (before the media exposed it)?

    No, my friend. 3 people working on the coverup knew about it. That's it.

    This "400,000 people" argument is completely invalid.

  • @vinnieray1

    lol man you just get dumber with every comment, I thought it was just a slip of the tongue when you said only 3 people were involved in the cover up but now I see you're repeating that claim.

    You really believe that the 3 astronauts single-handedly pulled off the greatest deception of all time, even fooling all the members of government (unless you're excluding them as "people") programming their own fake software to fool ground control and all the other things I've mentioned?

  • lright since gravity is 6 times weaker on the moon (1.63 m/s2), the ball obviously went 6 times further than it would have gone on the earth. put into consideration that there are no air particles decelerating it, this increases the distance. I think the only law which applies here is the % of the energy transfer between the body and the club, and from the club to the ball; and gravity, of course.

  • No one waste your time. It doesn't matter how much evidence is thrown in front of conspiracy theorists faces. They'll remain ignorant of it. Just like people saying Magellan didn't go around the world and that it was still flat. All the evidence was there, there are still people to this day the don't accept it. Maybe someday the hoaxers will accept it as the fact it is, but until then, let them remain ignorant.

  • Gravity doesnt apply to golf balls.

  • Attention all NASA-non-believers: You're all idiots. Fools. Douche bags. Ridiculous. Moronic. Uneducated. Embarrasing.

  • The only man to hit a one handed 500 yarder with a six iron :-) lol

  • @projectraven1 i think it would have gone farther maybe 1000 yard

  • @cladiax1 if you look it up, alan shepard estimated 400-500 yards. Not bad for one hand and a giant space suit.

  • @NASAvsPETE lol aint that the truth

    actually i think water is the best shielding

    the sea would help lol

  • @oeyesea a slice carries the ball left to right not right to left.

  • @onearmedfo yup, it doesn't right-to-left @oeyesea it curves the flight path of the ball right. and a hook is the same but too the left

  • @andyjg you probably could in the lander, not on the actual surface in your suit. But if you count in the lander as on the moon..... then you could, i dont know if anybody has or not

  • You wouldn't be able to drop the golf ball like that. The gravity isn't strong enough is it.

  • ahahah xD

  • Nasa Traitor Astronauts

    Faking It on Earth

  • @nasafakedit <<<===== another pathetic loser with nothing else to do. Get a life.

  • how much to book a tee time?

  • nasa teased shepard for slicing the ball tp the right on one swing, a slice if caused by an uneven flow of air when you hit the ball, the moon has no atmospher or air, how does that happen?

  • @CaptinKirk12 A slice is not caused by an uneven flow of air. It is caused by the face of the golf club being open at impact instead of square, when this happens it puts a spin on the ball and the spin carries the ball right-to-left.

  • FORE!!!!!

  • man 1:lets start

    man 2:ok

    man 1:hole in 1!

    man 2:hole in moon

    man 1:what??

    man 2:*falls in the hole*

    man 1:AAAAAAAAAAAA *gets the sun in his head

  • we need to go there agen. beacuse these days, we have better cameras. imagen watching the moon in hd

  • Love to go to the moon.

  • This is the next Tiger Woods (except he's not in a sex scandle)

  • Comment removed

  • Pink: We even went to the moon!

    Christoff: Cease thy foolery, or else i will send you there flying!

    The truth: We never won the cold war, and we never went to the moon.

    CJ: I think you burned one tiny microdot.

    The truth: Good, keep it that way!

    I was never able to imagine that this cheap, good ol' satyriasis from simply 2 videogames would hide such truths behind them...

  • epic win

  • What would have been really cool is if they would have had a football n kicked a few field goals. or a baseball n a bat. That would have been way cool!

  • Thats the longest golf hit ever

  • Actually, as I recall it wasn't a very great long shot; certainly not record breaking. Still awesome, though.

  • This is so cool! Possibly the greatest moment of science in the history of Man, and those guys are playing golf! Only Americans would think of that!

  • Correction, only men would think of that :P.

  • @jzone2006 no only men would want to fuck in space and you know with no gravity you will go forever

  • All be cool. go get laid or something. Fuck me, does anyone really care?

  • has anybody ever masturbated on the moon ?

  • What do you think the other astronaut was doing while watching shepard play golf?

  • maybe :)

  • @andyjg Yes

  • @andyjg Superman masterbates on the moon during his intergalactic travels. After that he stops by Venus to tap a few Venutians!

  • @andyjg imagine when they get back (the ***** floting in the spacesuite)!!

  • @andyjg lmao
