  • They were our heroes...who are our heroes today? Lance Armstrong?  Tiger Woods? Tony Hawk?

  • @chernobylFarms You forgot to add OJ Simpson; OJ was a Mars astronaut on Crapikorn One.

  • I bet that capsule stunk bad.

  • why the hell do you want to think its fake anyway? really, all I can say is have fun wasting your life trying to prove some made up theory

  • Comment removed

  • PROOF it's fake !!! Check 12:20. One second you can't see him next he's lite up ! No way can that have been anything but someone using a second light ! BUSTED

  • the most astonishing thing for me is that the crappy netbook im typing on right now has more computing power then all of nasa combined back then.

  • OK ppl @9:46 as the moon disappears behind the Craft right OK no problem. Then the moon quickly fades in on a different angle at the bottom of the craft and the audio is still streaming. Can someone explain that to me why the moon fades in at that point and on a different angle?. That to me is impossible without video editing. Please someone tell me that they are seeing the same thing as I am. Please thumbs up if you see what im trying to explain here.

  • Oh, and, I don't connect to any of the "Sun radiation" stuff, or anything like that. That stuff is probability. I'd like to hear a reason why we can't see the stars.

  • @FlylikeaG6sbirthday

    For the same reason you can't see starts during the day, or as many stars on the night of a full moon as you can when there is no moon visible in the night sky. The iris of your eye acts like the diaphragm of a camera. The exposure settings for the cameras used on the surface were dominated by the ambient light, that reflected off of the soil and rocks. The exposure times were too short to bring out the dimmer features in the lunar sky, like stars.

  • @ennui2000 That'd make sense. But is it like that even when you're looking away?

  • Sorry,i have seen no proof that the Moon Landing was real. Did you already think about the sun radiation. The space craft they have, is less than 1 cm thick. This was a race that the american could not win so they fake a victory. Be serious and question the gouvernement. What is the argument like i have seen no proof that the Moon Landing was a fake. Sorry,i have seen no proof that the Moon Landing was real. I have see a pink rabbit play drum at the TV is that mean rabbit have learn to drum no

  • @Philippe244 Wikipedia is your friend. Under "moon landing conspiracy theories" there is a huge list of empirical proofs. Also, you can prove it to yourself if you get a powerful laser and point it at retroreflectors left by astonauts on the moon, the laser will bounce back (also on Wiki under "Lunar Laser Ranging Experiment"). Stop being so ignorant.

  • Go to xkcd.com and read strip number 258.

    And for the love of god, think before you post your half-baked opinions.

  • at 15:08 TWO SUNS!

  • is it me or is the docking of the eagle to the command module feels its a little mechanical?

  • Van Allen Belt radiation?

  • no actually there is a lot of evidence that it's fake but who know ???

  • u can actually see the rocky part just before landing like they talked about, as far im concerned they went to the moon and came back

  • moon fakers

  • It completely blows my mind to think that this was achieved only a few decades after the first flight by the Wright brothers or the first rockets of Goddard. Seeing the feeble machines they used and then thinking of the Saturn V gives me hope in what humanity can achieve when science is promoted.

  • yaa bounch of theorist idiots and loonyes ...they didn land on the moon " then were?

    in your back yard!

  • total bs

  • I wanted to see this documentary on today's 41st Anniversary date, July 20/10.

    Thank you for posting.

  • what does that phrase really mean, hmmm

  • Sorry,i have seen no proof that the Moon Landing was a fake.

    All you paranoid conspiracy theorists are idiots.

    lol pretty soon you idiots are going to say that the International Space Station and the Shuttle missions we do are fake also.

    Untill you guys get real proof from either astronauts from that time or a official word from NASA or a breaking news story on one of the major news stations your thoughts of the moon landing being fake are delusional & paranoid.

    Get a life you idiots.

  • @JamesJB32 it's not delusional. Don't get thing confuse, I also believe we went on the moon. But I also believe it is a possibily that apollo 11 was faked, not all the apollo mission. It was a race to the moon against the soviet and America was ready to do anything to win, what I say is just a possibility, a theory. You American obviously have dificulty about this theory because you take a lot of pride in apollo 11, you would become the shame of the world if it was faked, you don't want that.

  • @JamesJB32 also the only thing the nasa say about the fake landing theory is that the people who believe it is fake are nuts, delusional and paranoiac, it's not really an argument.

  • @JamesJB32 The lit up side of the moon has a temperature of 270 - 280 degrees Celsius. The darker side of the moon has temperatures going down to as close to "absolute zero" point, which is around -275. There is not a spacesuit built yet to support such temperatures. How about you check up on THAT.

  • @atlanticl how bout you check up on the fact that a lunar day lasts approximately 29 earth days, they were never on the dark side of the moon...they were never exposed to such low temperatures, they were always on the sunlit part...

    the suits were very good insulators, heat doesnt enter or leave easily and the whole inner part of the suit (the first of the 23 layers), was made entirely of tubing in which near freezing water was circulating, to cool the astronauts.

  • @amor987654321

    Ok first off, whether they were on the lit side or the dark end, temperatures were just too extreme. Because, there is no air as a "cushion" there, and thus no atmosphere, it has a "greenhouse" type effect where temperatures go above 200 deg F (I have look it up again, but I saw in NASA's own website, and compared the temperatures to the tolerance capacity of the suits), and not even those liquid coolant suits could've made much difference there.

  • @amor987654321 then again, there is even MORE evidence from the indirect aligning of the shadows which weren't parallel in the normal sun lit atmosphere, the IN YOUR FACE evidence of THE FLAG WAVING, WHEN THERE IS NO ATMOSPHERE ON THE MOON, no blast craters, one of Apollo's chief engineers who testified before the hearings of the flaws of the lunar module and his freak auto "accident" a week later from the hearings, and a lot more.

  • @atlanticl bruv, the indirect aligning of the shadows is not adequate proof that it was faked AT ALL. the topography of the land alters shadows. not rocket science my friend. also, the flag waving is common physics. its called inertia. the flag only moved when force was applied on it, i.e. the astronauts 'twisting" it into the ground. the reason for the lack of blast crater is because in all the missions, except 11, engine shut-off occurred prior to touch down, it was gene who said that.

  • @atlanticl actually, apollo 11 engine shut-off occurred between 5 and 6 seconds after touch down, but it was in an extremely powered down state.

  • @atlanticl btw, it has always been recognized that the lunar module was a unique, often referred to as outlandish, spacecraft. ill acknowledge that it did have a lot of flaws, such as the extremely thin outer skin on some areas, the lack of space, also the lack of instrumentation and wiring covers etc. (for weight reduction), though it had the capabilities of performing its task.

  • @JamesJB32 But see, there's a difference between being an idiot and being paranoid.

    I am not going to reply, or post, any insults, but listen. Who was taking the picture of Buzz stepping on the moon? Why were there no stars in the sky in every single picture ever taken? Why does the camera (mystery camera, because they didn't bring cameras with them, and rovers had not been successfully invented until a year after this) pan up after the people on the moon leave? Who pans it? Dunno if its real.

  • @JamesJB32 its not about conspiracy its about facts

    read more about technology in 1969 and about cold war etc. etc.

    or come back to fukin mcdonalds and comment the menu

    PEACE:)

  • @JamesJB32 yeah that's true no one can real....But I know apollo 18 movie is fake :D

  • @zoidberg96913

    lol the first time i saw the movie trailer for Apollo 18 i knew it was fake,it seemed and felt fake,its hard to explain lol.

  • It's a good thing the micrometeorites didn't hit them then, isn't it. Also, even if they did, their spacesuits were designed to stop micrometeorites, or at least minimise the damage they cause.

    Anyway, what makes them more of a danger on the Moon than during any other space mission? They are just as likely to hit the Shuttle or ISS as they are the Apollo descent stage.

    Don't get hung up, thinking you know something the rest of the world has missed.

  • P.s I just google it and search for pictures of stars, and there's plenty of pictures of stars lol...

  • Great. Once again, I never said that it was difficult to photograph stars.

    Now google the phrase "UV Earth Apollo photographs." You will see that the Apollo pictures which DO have stars in them have completely washed out the detail on any bright foreground objects.

    Since the video was meant to capture "bright foreground objects" (The astronauts walking around on a brightly lit surface) it is only natural that the exposure time was reduced, producing star free photographs.

  • This is alien landing on earth.

    Prepare to conquer.

    Initiate plasma beam.

    Target United Stated [ the clue might have been the flag left on the moon..]

    Attack!!! weeewooooweeeewooooo!!!!!

  • this is the sun landing not the moon

  • These people are idiots a7241982. They are probably the same people who don't believe the WWII Holocaust ever happened.

  • you can't convince these people. No matter what. Just leave 'em. They are societies failures.

  • I agree  :)

  • lol i agree. i think they took too much LSD or something. :)

  • The Eagle has Landed, on a Sound Stage.

  • exactly. If you think the moon landing is fake do this. go geta 500 dollar laser. Set it up with a 1000 dollar teloscope. Aim it at the mirrors the set u on the moon. Now check the amount of time it takes for the laser to come back. even better use that 1000 dollar teloschope and look up at the ruins

  • to be honest though, the russians did place reflectors as well. So by your reasoning, the russians landed on the moon.

  • it might be fake i guess, so much propaganda going on between US and Russia maybe this was fake, idk i need more reasons.

  • right, we had the technology 40 years ago but haven't been back since those storied six moon landings that coincidentally took place while we were escalating the very unpopular vietnam war and israel was bombing the f*** out of egypt. man, people will believe anything the tv tells them.

  • the eagle has lied

    one small step for man, one giant hoax for mankind

  • Comment removed

  • I think for the next voyage we can let obama have a one way trip to Mars

  • Fake.

  • Es la broma y mentira de todos los tiempos,

  • A 256 px square image with a white speck in the center. Well that settles it, I'm totally convinced! Or, maybe like Barry Soetoro's mythical birth certificate which is now sealed by "Executive" Order 13489, they would show it if they had it. Nothing to see here folks. Move on to the next "historic" hoax anniversary.

  • You're fighting a pointless battle, dude. They're conspiracy theorists. You could take them up there in person, show them every great thing we did 40 years ago, and they'd still find a way not to believe it. You're trying to argue with people who don't think in any sort of rational, critical way. Best just to leave them to their tinfoil hats.

  • I couldn't have said it better myself.

  • @OurBenefactors

    Yea i know lol. At least you and millions more believe.

    The moon landing is one of the things that inspired my love for science and astronomy :)

  • Take swine flu vaccine, reduce population!!!!

  • Judge if Ive got talent. Check out my cover of Shes Out Of My Life and Sometimes When We Touch.

  • At 1 Billion per launch, the Shuttle is finally getting retired and Obama's admin will review NASA in a comprehensive way. I don't believe they will fund much beyond unmanned missions in this time of fiscal crisis --- found a cool site; Balkingpoints ; incredible satellite view of earth

  • this is very interesting, very good & nice to watch..

  • how heavy would the dust be....you know the dust he is kicking around it . dust takes time to fall in place. he is lighter than the dust. Cool if you say so. My World is round not flat:) tally hoe!

  • Armstrong and Aldrin were NOT the first men on the moon. Humans have been there in our ancient past, there are ruins, pyramids, etc. on the moon as well as Mars. Of course this has been hidden from the general public. Do a search on John Lear for more info. Mr. Lear is Hier to the Lear Jet, he's a reliable and respected source!

  • i don't get it. if we could go to the moon, how come we couldn't get a better video camera to film this moment clearly?

  • Thunderbirds are go! Great special effects.

  • Hard to believe that, with all of the scientific progress we have made since the landing, some because of the landing, that these pathetic conspiracy "theories" still crop up.

    It's good and well to question things, but this is a very clear case of people reaching rather than healthy skepticism.

    Wonderful video! 5 stars.

  • I thought it took a while to get used to the gravity on earth again. these guys are walking like nothing

  • WafflesLicious - The Ministry of Silly Walks can explain this to you.

  • These guys trained a lot, the whole trip took 8 days.

    On the space station and shuttle they do use resistance training to keep up strength for long periods in low gravity.

  • thanks for explaining

  • Watch the lander as it returns to the mother ship. This ship should move like a boat in water. It should not move robotically, you can't get a boat to operate like the lander does. It starts and stops too fast for space. It shoud start to move slowy and stop slowly.. not instantly.

  • Notice at 11:13 the lunar modal is going to touch down in a creator and Armstrong takes the manual controls and steers forward to avoid it.

  • Where are the bright stars that we see on earth?.. With no apmosphere they would be very bright.. No stars?... Why was there no hole where the rockets blew the dirt away when it landed?.. yet there was dirt right next to the ship that the astronaut steped in. Why are the shadow lengths so different for two astronauts the samee height but in different locations in the picture? One is closer to the light source. Watch the dirt they kick up, it spreads and falls at normal gravity not 1/6 gravity.

  • i agree with you so much

  • government lies ALOT DUUUUU

  • If it was a fake, how can we explain then the subsequent missions that have been a sucess?

  • you're obviously a troll.  yawn

  • Leave it to conspiracy theorists to deny reality.

  • how come we have no landed more people on the moon....even thought we have better technology

  • we did, but now we are focusing on mars, i think in 2018 (i think it was 2018) we're going to bring more people to the moon

  • I Am not one of those 2012 people but if we make it to 2018 it doesn't look promising. Also we don't know it could all end any day.

  • i am looking forward to the future, i don't think the world will end in any day, well it could if like a asteroid comes, but if god wants the world will end, he'll do it.

  • it costs to much and its kinda like been there done that even though it would be nice to see a moon landing in HD

  • I guess it would be posible to remaster the films from the actual apollo 12-landing. I guess it was shot on film, and with a highres-scanner, it should be posible to remaster it to HD..

  • That video is too old to even be remastered standard definition

  • Wow finally i see the landing !

  • omg no

  • Its amazing how we were able to do this!

    It isn't fake!

    So cool...

  • The flat waving because there is no air....and the air resistance was ignored. Since the friction is zero, It will keep the flag wave

  • The USA flat is wavinf because there is no air which mean the air resistance is ignore, that's why it will be keep waving.

  • You are an idiot. air or not...

    Of course a flag can wave in a vacuum the astronaut is rotating the pole on which the flag is mounted, trying to get it to stay up. The flag is on one side on the pole, and along the top by another pole that sticks out to the side. In a vacuum or not, when you whip around the vertical pole, the flag will ``wave''. The top will move first, then the cloth will follow along in a wave that moves down. This isn't air that is moving the flag, it's the cloth itself"

  • how is it fake? why don't you do a little research instead of listening to conspiracy theorists. This is probably one of man greatest achievements and America is the Greatest nation in the world. Bahamas on the other hand is very much f#$@ up nation!

  • It could be real but it woul be so easy for them to fke that, becuase it just looks like a white floor and black behind them, that could be anywhere.

  • Extended80music: "Easy to fake" is hardly the phrase you should use to describe this. Especially since the first step to faking the moon landing would be the construction of a vacuum chamber the size of a sound-stage, the likes of which has never been built before.

  • I be honest I only watched a part of it..and it looked small lol..but I can see it could be real..I just wonder how they could possibly know it was safe to land on the moon, coz I don't think anyone would chance it if they didn't know lol, if this is real , it's a shame they haven't ladnd on any other planets yet, I mean it's like an achievement and it stopped after landing on the moon, as they didn't land anywhere else, but TBH I am stil sceptical as to wither they really did land on the moon.

  • extended80s: I don't understand. What exactly are you skeptical of? What reason do you have to assume that the moon landings were anything other than completely authentic? What is it exactly about the moon landings that gives you pause?

  • Just becoz they made out it happen doesn't mean that it did happen, and I think it looks like it could be fake, lel's face it, it's not exactly clear, and black and white is a good way to desguise things, I am not the only person who think this could be fake, & I haven't heard of them landing anywhere else since, but I don't keep up with this stuff, just my opinion that's all, but what reason do you have to completely believe without a doubt that this is real?

  • Would you consider "A not exactly clear [record]" to be compelling reason to doubt the assassination of Abraham Lincoln? After all, there was no video record of Lincoln's assassination, but I would assume you are comfortably certain that Lincoln WAS assassinated.

    You are skeptical of the veracity of the moon landings because of the less than stellar recording quality, yet you are comfortable accepting the occurrence of other historical events with considerably lower quality accounts. Why?

  • That's easy coz I can't see the assisantion of Lincoln, so I can't say that it looks fake, but as I can see this on video it looks fake to me, but I am not saying I could be wrong, the quality isn't good enough for me to decide for sure if it's real.

  • Oh? What about it looks fake to you? "Low Quality" and "Fake" are not synonymous.

  • it's simple it doesn;t look clear enough for me to know for sure if it's real, if it was clear it would be easier to tell if it was real or not, I don't see anthing wrong with thinking that.

    Another thing, when you lok up the sky you see loads of stars when irt's dark, yet there are no stars to be seen on this video, I think they made a mistake there, see? I noticed stuff.

  • That doesn't make sense. Just because we have a low quality recording of an event does not mean there exists an equal probability of authenticity or forgery. Example: The video recording of the first atomic bomb test at Trinity is low quality, grainy, and poorly filmed, but no one would says that means they are unable to "tell if it was real or not."

  • Doen'tt matter coz all I says was if it was clearrer it woul be easier to decide if it was real, nothing wrong with that, you says it doesn't make sense?..ok here we go again lol...if the quality was better it wold be easier to see if it was real or fake, to me it's not clear enough for me to say it's defintiely real....and from what I can see it's a hoax.

  • There SHOULDN'T be stars in the photographs; that is a very old argument.

    The astronauts are photographing brightly lit objects on a brightly lit lunar surface. Thus, they are using short exposure times. Even with highly sensitive film, photographing stars require exposure times of several seconds (ask any astronomer, and they will confirm this). Such exposure times would completely wash out the bright objects the astronauts were ACTUALLY taking photos of (each-other, the moon, the LEM etc)

  • What you says about the stars, I have seen plenty of films with stars in it., yet this film doesn't have stars in it, fine what you says about pictures but this is also a film as well & there are still no stars, yet there's plenty of films where you see the sky and you can see the stars and it's because the stars are there...if that was space in this video the stars would be there..one great big giant lie for mankind more like lol.. some are soo easily fooled...buit of course..others are not ;D

  • "I have seen plenty of films with stars in it."

    Of course you have. I never said it was impossible (or even very difficult) to successfully photograph stars. In fact, if you would Google the phrase I suggested in my previous comment, you would see an example where the Apollo astronauts did exactly that.

  • However, I challenge you to find any film (video or still) which successfully photographs the stars, and which ALSO properly exposes a brightly lit foreground object (like the lunar surface, the astronauts or the LEM). You won't find any.

    If the astronauts had used the required photographic techniques to photograph the stars, they would have washed out the foreground objects of interest, which is why there are no stars in most of the Apollo photographs.

  • But if you are curious, Google the phrase "UV Earth Apollo photographs." These are photographs where the Apollo astronauts DID try to photograph the stars. Notice how there ARE stars in these photographs, but any bright object in the camera's field of view (Like the Earth) is completely overexposed.

  • ok I see you don;t understand ...I am not saying becuase its bad quality it looks fake,I am saying the quality isn't good enough to know if this is real and have to be honest I really think it looks rather suspect, that's why I am sceptical about it because from what I see it looks lik ti could be fake, but if it was a lot clearer it would obviosuly be a lot easeier to decide if it was...and top of al this we have no stars on there..yet it supose to be space lol..and that's on the film too lol..

  • I say again, the lack of stars is to be expected given that these photographs were exposed to capture BRIGHT foreground objects. Try it sometime. Stand on your porch in the middle of the night with your porch lights on, and try to take a picture of the stars. You will find that you will have to choose between either:

    1) Long exposure times, properly exposed stars, but a completely washed out foreground.

    2) Short exposure time, pitch black sky, but a properly exposed foreground.

  • I search and found pictures but I know what you mean..maybe it is real but I read somehting about a golf photograph that was fake to....maybe is real moonlanding but I am stil not so sure it is..but yeah what you says makes sense..so at least I know why there's no stars now.

  • Hi, I don't want you to fall into the conspirator's trap. If you have any more niggling doubts, or have been told something to 'prove' the landings were fake, please reply and I will try tell you the answer.

  • This is one of the best video production of 40th year about the Moon landing. *****

  • 14:48 there are two lights in the sky.  One's probably Earth, what's the other? The control thing in orbit?

  • No, those are both lens flares. The Earth is very high off the horizon when viewed from the Apollo 11 landing site. Google some higher resolution images of the astronauts setting up "solar wind composition staff" and you will see that those are just lens flares due to the sun being just out of frame.

  • 626PERSON 2 WATCH

  • They video taped it! Haha.

  • We landed on the moon!?

  • /facepalm

  • ..love science and technology..it's a big factor in world ultimate discovery...awesome journey

  • Comment removed

  • how so?

  • I'm still skeptical--It took 4 years to design an Airbus 380 with the off the shelf avionics on what is basically known and proven technology so, how could such a complex series of space craft be developed and tested in 7 years?

  • a combination of absolutely colossal sh*tloads of money and the greatest talent of the generation all dedicated to one goal.

    imagine if you took the smartest people at google, microsoft, goldman sachs, boeing, airbus, turner media group, amtrak, and put them all in a room and set 'em off on a goal with an unlimited budget. that's basically what happened.

  • Between July 1969 and December 1972, six American spacecraft landed on the moon. Twelve American astronauts walked on the moon. This is historic fact. Would you be skeptical of the fact that Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, or that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor?

  • Government funding, many more engineers. There are a lot of reasons.

  • the saturn 5 rocket was based off of missile designs. so basically they just used missiles as templates.

  • has it been 40 years??????

    gawd!

  • Awesome! I did a project about Apollo 11 for school!

  • 40 years ago. WoW!
