  • that In studio

  • i have a strong urge to kill the silence

  • I can not believe some people thought this was hoax.

    Fucking idiots. -_-

  • It really sucks that the 1960's could send a person to the moon but they didn't have the technology to make a quality video. Ugh. Damn baby boomers.

  • Comment removed

  • @C3P0meetsData It was not the baby boomers responsible for the feats of the Apollo program as most of that generation were kids or teens when it happened. These were people born before or during the great depression.

  • what a lie...

  • What a feeling Neil must've felt when he planted his foot on that powder. Stepping on a surface that isn't familiar and yet is totally remarkable. He and only a few others are the only ones on this planet who know what that feeling is like. We should be jealous that they were granted such a chance. Maybe we all can have that feeling in the future.

  • so why waste money to go to the moon anyway?

  • i think it's real

  • The Apollo landing wasn't faked. Not only has every objection been debunked (See Mythbusters), but there have been subsequent moon landings by multiple nations in the 40 years since. If we didn't have our flag up there, someone would have called us on it by now. I mean, the rest of the world isn't exactly quiet about everything ELSE we do wrong. The rumor that the Apollo landing was faked is sensationalist conspiracy theory designed to give people more reasons to hate the government.

  • Obviously you're right. To think the landing was fake is ridiculous, but there has not been other nations on the moon than US. Mostly because its expensive and there is nothing to see..

    But China is planning to land in 2018. dont know why...

  • I'll tell you why nageren. China, Japan, the European space agency and maybe, just maybe India, are all interested in the moon for two reasons. If they don't start working toward it now they will fall behind. the moon is rich in minerals. There is more to the moon than meets the eye. NASA is still working the kinks out of the Ares launch vehicle and LM. China might be us to it. It would be amazing to see someone else do it. I would be glued to my TV. Landing on the moon is awesome!!

  • Ok, is there really valuable minerals on the moon? And even it there is I cant imagine that it would be worthwhile harvesting them and flying them back.

    But I agree, we are lucky that we get to see a landing, Ill be glued to my tv as well when the "astraunaut".(or what the chinese will call them) takes the first step filmed by high definition asian camaras. (Even though a landing on mars would be even better!)

  • You make a good point. How valuble are the minerals? I think the whole point is to use them and process them, on the moon, to support the lumar colonies that will be built. The minerals they dig up will be used to build things on the moon. Also, they plan to send an expediton to the perpetual dark side in order to install radio telescopes and reflecting telescopes in order to see the universe like never before.

  • Lunar soli in the marias (dark-regions seen from Earth) has enough Helim-3 to power safe, non-ionising reactors, to supply all of Earth's energy needs for 800-1000 years. Like the Arabs and Venezuelans and Russians with Oil, the Chines want to get the monopoly on He-3, whilst America dithers. America has become the new Portugal.

  • @Beamshipcaptain= If that's true, we have to get back to the Moon immediately. If you have kids, tell them to study, so they can build spacehips and Moon cities. America has to be Number one again. We can't let the Chinese and the Russians beat us there.

  • hey Zavion, all technological innovations have useful byproducts going back to the potter's wheel, that's a flacid argument. the lunar landing was purely about national prestige. . .if one needs a "frontier" what about unexplored oceans. . .all that hardware rocketry isn`t worth a single starving child, and our solar system, as science knows, primarily an emptiness hardly approacable with current technology. Maybe scientists/engineers read too much science fiction. . .

  • In the news today it announced that A British Scientist working in Australia as part of Britain's Space Program was asked whilst in conversation with a team member in America working on the Apollo Mission, what the astronauts should say to mark the occasion. He suggested, yup you guessed it, 'One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.' True story.

  • if folks spent as much time and money understanding the inner space of human behavior as they did "conquering" outer space we be a lot closer to "peace on earth". . .

  • This is one of the dumbest attempts at being 'deep' I've seen.

    Maybe if we spent more money on 'conquering' (really?) space, NASA's discoveries which often have real world applications in engineering, like more efficient fuels, could be used to stop wars over dwindling resources already fought. As if NASA's budget hasn't been getting cut steadily for decades, or was some sort of gigantic money sink. NASA's budget compared to the rest of the government is an afterthought at best.

  • No stars, because it was Lunar day.

  • Actually it was because the sheer brightness of the sun on the surface of the moon.

    Imagine turning on a flashlight during a snowyday.

  • You are correct. Also, the Hasselblad cameras that the astronauts utilized needed aperture and shutter speed adjustment to compenstate for the extra glare. Sunlight, astronauts white suits, the lunar surface and reflected light from Earht itself. That's a lot of light. For the conspiracy freaks (dumb sh**s) out there, the human eye and cameras don't interpret light the same way. What you see is not always what a camera is going to record. This is grade school science guys LOL

  • its true because casio calculaters play halo =]

  • Apollo was real.

  • @Beamshipcaptain

    "Which concept vehicle would YOU like to explore space in?"

    Whichever one works. 

  • @TremorHellborn project? yes, it was

  • I like the way someone said it was a radio glitch, i'm sorry but if the tech was unreliable to broadcast a big event like this then i'd love to know how they got men on the moon

  • This video is as fake as the lunar landing.

  • not true. they ran tests on earth that confirmed everything. this includes:

    why the flag waved

    why they walked as they did

    why there are no stars

    and really just about everything else, so no, it is not faked. and they have proof we've been there, as there is still a reflector on the serface

  • question, this was shot at "night" or on the darkside of the moon, could anyone tell me what the temp on the moon is on its darkside? im sure its to the extreme, so the question is, what were the cold limitations on those space suits? i am curious.

  • they were able to withstand almost no heat, being made how they were with heating and fabrications.

  • ok they could withstand no heat, but its the dark side of the moon, which means extreme cold temps, -280 max, so, can those suits be rated for almost -280 degrees, thats is an imp fact to confirm, npt how much heat, but the limits of the materials used to withstand such extreme cold?

  • this marks a new part of human history

  • lol xkcd brought me here

  • hahaha me too

  • me as well

  • i am so proud to be white.

  • what does melanin have to do with anything?

  • I love xkcd :D

  • i can't believe even he could screw up something as big as the moon landing!!! did you guys know it was suposed to say "one small step for me and one giant leap for mankind"!!!!

  • It was a radio glitch. Not like our tech back then was very good. Or reliable.

  • "One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind."

    Some radio interference is probably expected. You know, from talking all the way from the goddamn moon.

    BTW, you probably shouldn't bag on his one error (caused by garbled radio) after all, he was the first man on the goddamn fucking moon. He is better than you.

  • @RojOdio He must be a better man than most. They did make a rubber model buttplug of him after all..

  • @RojOdio Well, duh. I'm not trying to put him down, I agree he did something amazing, I'm just noting a fun fact.

  • The amount of xkcd on this page.

    unbelievable. ;_;

  • When I read that comic, I thought, "Wow, this is really familiar."

  • i've seen the space shuttle asshole. it definitely landed on the moon. do some research.

  • So I take it I'm not the only curious because of xkcd?

  • He. I thought I was the only one.

  • "If it was real then why is there gravity?"

    My favorite quote from the xkdc comic YouTube. I wonder if the audio preview idea was taken from xkdc...

  • (physics) the force of attraction between all masses in the universe; especially the attraction of the earth's mass for bodies near its surface .

    Everything that has amss has gravity. The less mass thw weaker pull of gravity, that is why astronausts have to be careful that they don't jump or something to high and loose all the pull of gravity because then they kinda just float away.... lol Alot of people on here are reeeeaally dumb!

  • Umm...yeah. I know that. The quote was taken from an online comic mocking the stupidity of YouTube comments.

  • YouTube comments:

    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO­LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO­LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!ELE­VEN!!!

  • This is a photoshoot on Mars.

  • Agreed. That's definitely a soundstage.

  • It's so obvious that this is a hoax. The cinematography is terrible, and you can hear the audio clipping when he starts to talk. No doubt Barack Obama is responsible for this.

  • You're fat and fruity fuck you!

    Food isn't enough for sickos like you, you have to feed off stupid conspiracy theories to entertain your dull and boring life.

    Drinks some pussy juice man, it might help wash down and help you shit the pathetic out of you!

  • Troll'd.

  • You're a GENIUS.

  • Hilarious.

  • ur dim witted asshole

  • The 9/11 attacks are a hoax? Then explain why the buildings were there in the morning of september 11th, but gone in the evening, why the ground is covered in rubble, and why thousands of people saw planes crash into the buildings?

  • havnt u ever seen this. know ur shit. its a fony

  • The 9/11 attacks are a hoax? Then explain why the buildings were there in the morning of september 11th, but gone in the evening, why the ground is covered in rubble, and why thousands of people saw planes crash into the buildings?

  • No. 1)

    September the 11th, my uncle was in one of the near-by building and saw the planes crash.. ect.

    No. 2)

    Why do you think the lunar landing was/is a hoax?

    No.3)

    You must be realy dim witted to take in all the internet crap going around about "hoaxes" and "conspirasys"...

  • im so proud to be white.

  • if u dont belive the moon landing go back to fucking gophers like u should

  • I have grown up around NASA employees, I have actually seen the Lunar Rocks. People say that it didn't happen just because there are nay-sayers. People say that 9/11 is a hoax, it is because there is a popular movement against anything that government does. Get a job at NASA, you can if your really smart. Go ahead and do it, most of you nay sayers couldn't even do it. I laugh at your incomprehension of things that you do not know and things that you don't understand. Your fear makes me laugh.

  • The absolute funniest thing about the Hoax Believers is that they actually believe that they have uncovered the "smoking gun". They can't quite wrap their minds around the fact that scientists 10 times smarter than they are, have looked at Apollo for 40 years. Really TOO funny when you think about it.

    Yep...somebody has to play the role of idiots in this world. Hoaxers have volunteered for that assignment. Without idiots like Hoax Believers...smart people have nothing to laugh at. LOLOL!!

  • As a none-believer I come up with the questions others aren't thinking of. Why if Neal Armstrong was the mission commander do they refer to him as "Neal" and not "Commander?" Why is the footage from the moon so poor in quality? The Mission Control footage was better quality than the moon footage which makes no sense. How is it that with a 'five second' delay they seem to have instant responses?

    Have YOU ever aimed an observatory at the moon?

  • It's only about a 2 to 3 second delay if they communicate with Houston. - Neal is more personalized, it identifies him with civilians listening to the broadcast. However, among the crew; he is most definitely the commanding officer deserving his rank. I'm not sure how informal it was among USAF officers of that time though.

  • Think about it.

    1000's and 1000's of journalists around the world.

    Science journalists...investigative journalists etc.

    1000's of reporters working for radio, TV & newspapers in Russia, Germany, UK, China, India, France, Sweden, Poland, Brazil, Australia etc.

    Any reporter who could come up with a shred of legit Hoax evidence would be lauded as a Hero. It would be...THE STORY OF THE CENTURY! THE GREATEST SCOOP IN HISTORY!

    So why is the Moon Hoax still just a CircleJerk of NetTards??? LOL!

  • Not to mention the fact that the government had hundreds and hundreds of scientists working on this. There is no way they could keep that many people quiet. They couldn't keep a handful of people quite after the Watergate scandal.

  • fake

  • very fake, he saw ufos!! those bastard faked our moon video![government not him]

  • I am in mutual agreement with andross13.

    -Summer Glau

    P.S. Don't forget to ckeck out the next season of The Sarah Connor Chronicles this fall on FOX!

  • Where is the complex analysis, xkcd man?

  • *gasp* It disappeared! Murder the thieving fiend who stole it!

  • About the "whose filming is Louis (sic) Armstrong was the first on the moon" comment(s). The famous "1 step" line wasn't mentioned until 6 hours after landing. So this footage isn't the first time they were actually walking on the moon.

  • bitch

  • This is the first EVA on the moon. In the strictest sense, the first words spoken on the moon were, "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." They didn't emerge from the spacecraft right away because they had to eat first and it takes a long time to donn those 169-pound spacesuits (more like 30 pounds on the moon).

    So you're half right.

  • When they go back they need to bring those HD Imax cameras up there with them

  • there are plans to go back to the moon by 2019 and then a manned mission to mars by 2037 but in order to pay for manned missions they have to divert funds away from scientifically beneficial missions.

  • People's stupidity... it burns.

  • These comments are just like that xkcd comic, right down to everyone calling him Louis Armstrong.

  • Yeah. I saw that comic, and, have come here occasionally for it's humor. It has lived up to all expectations.

  • PEOPLE:

    Really now. What are the odds that some random Internet Losers and Paranoid Nutjobs have been able to uncover the GREATEST SCIENTIFIC AND ENGINEERING FRAUD AND CONSPIRACY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD? Let's see...after 40 YEARS of international scientific scrutiny and analysis by Astronomers, Physicists, Geologists and Engineers, a bunch of Douchebag Hoax Believers on YT are able to uncover all the hidden secrets. PUHH-LLEEEZZ. Back to your video games and porn sites...TARDS!

  • funny...we haven't had a lunar landing since 69...

  • What about Apollo 12 through 17? ...Not be snide.

  • be snide if you like, abomb199 is an idiot. Another fool who comments before finding out the facts.

  • 1970, 71, 72, please study.

  • It's funny how people only think we have been to the moon once... When in fact 12 men have walked on the surface in 6 different missions.

    I would be cool for us to go back again i think. Just for the fun of it. We could make a reallity TV show out of it like everthing else!

  • Maybe something along the lines of Real World on MTV? How about (6) dysfunctional 20 something couples?

    BARF!

  • the bill of rights is fuckin old, they just had to make something to make the people stop being mad about not being able to be fucking pagans n shit. the doble shadows are made by the lite from the sun and from the earth, you know all those lites you see when you look outside and how they make shadows? duh retard

  • what about the double shadows, made by the stage lights??? explain those

    and mexico doesn't have kangaroos, retard. Thats china ur thinking. anyways im not leaving. im a US citizen i have right to b here.even if i don't support the govmtn. thats called the constituition, with the billl of rights.

  • lol china doesnt have Kangaroos, thats Australia. so stop being an ignorant duche.

  • lol china has pandas, so stop being a retard.

    And learn to spell, douche.

  • the double shadow is caused by the light from the sun and the light being reflected off the earth, why would the government lie to us. the only reason they wouldn't tell us something is so the other countries won't know (area 51, a flight and weapon testing field)

  • wonderful

  • the second guy on the moon filmed him learn your history you doush. the us is a love it or leave it place and sinse you dont like capitalism i guess that means you have to leave. have fun in mexico with all the kangaroos n imigrants

  • i liev in the US, retard. I live in 486 Willowbrook Dr, Potomac, MD. So there.

    and im pretty sure louis armstrong is a capitalist bastard.

    anywayz, who was filming, if armostrong was first on the moon?

  • You do know that it's Niel Armstrong, right? Louis Armstrong is a jazz musician...

  • Its a camera on the leg of the lander. If you live in Maryland, maybe you should visit D.C. Go to the Air and Space Museum, you can see a mock up of the lander right near the entrance to the the food court. Oh, and the return capsules are in the entrance atrium.

  • squag, youre an idiot look at wikipedia, the moon is only like a few miles big

    besides i was talkin about a studio on earth. and of course louis armstrong would say he walkedd there hes a capitalist pig.

    UR ALL SHEEPZ

  • wikipedia is run by canada, they tell you wrong about the moon, they dont want you to know the right things. and im pretty sure louis armstong nos what hes talking about you commy retard. hope your having fun over in rusia with all your lead poisoning and shit.

  • the wikipedia page is edited by someone from nasa or a historian, not canada, they only own the website, they don't fully control it.

  • I don't think Louis Armstrong, the Jazz Trumpeter, would know much about the lunar landing. However, I believe Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon, might.

  • haha Now I feel like the dumb ass. :P

  • you guys are retarded. this is so fake

    MOVIE STUDIO!!!

  • ok first seriousy wtf does a movie studio hav to do with it. you cant fit the moon in a studio, its like a jillion feet big. for the second one i seen mr armstrong and talked to him and he defnitely did walk on the moon, i have first hand knowlege of it and im an eyewitness.

  • There was a very interesting article in "Wired" about the filming of the mission. Apparently the video that was played on television was not as high quality as was recorded and sent back to earth. The higher quality recording is lost somewhere in NASA.

  • The signal from the moon was actually sent to a station in Australia; it was quite sophisticated for its time, and gave a decent image. However, due to compatibility issues, they couldn't send the signal they were receiving anywhere outside the station, so they actually had to put a camera in front of the screen that they were seeing, lowering the quality of what was being seen by millions of people immensely. I just learned this.

  • if this was real...then where are the stars? why is there no blast crater...and why is it that when they took pictures some of the objects were covering the cross hairs? this is a lie and we did not land on the moon

  • the moon horizon is too close, i mean the moon smaller than earth ,but here it looks they land on an asteroid lol

  • if armstrong was the first person on the moon, who was outside the capsule shooting that film?

  • That camera was attached to the leg of the moon lander.

  • It was attached to one of the side panel of the LM, but when Neil pulled a wire on his way down the camera "rolled out" on the leg of the LM

  • When Neil was on the porche he pulled a wire so that the camera on the exterior of the LM could drop down and roll out.

  • I flew on the Eagle 3D Lander Simulator Gene Cernan is my friend you know?

  • If there is anyone who thinks that the lunar landing was fake can send E-Mai to me. Those who think that it was show business, dont have science knowledge. I know everything about the Apollo Landings. A few clever guys on this site also know....Point and done....No discussion...

  • Seriously man i mean i can understand ppl saying the US wanted to show off and stuff but they made 4 real on the moon. Its a fact. And the flag moving its called perpetual movement. You touch the flag once it wont stop waving in all directions till something or someone stops it.

  • I agree. It is a fact that we went to the moon.

  • Neil was lucky, because actually Pete Conrad would be the first man on the moon. Neil was in the back up crew....

  • man this shit is sooo fake..hahah..cant believe people bought this..NASA IS A RIP OFF..LOL

  • dude i know someone who works for nasa

  • there is more evidence you just have to look for it.

    call me a nut or anything i don't mind i just thought i would present some of the evidence.

    stupid youtube not letting me post it in one only alowed 500 characters

  • We did it for the bio metal, a conspiracy forming the black dogs and the NSDF. We defeated the CCA and the fury alien race! HLY SHT!

  • guys cant we all just say it happend instead of doing this useless studying i mean if you dident think that happend cant you just keep it to yourselvs ples guys thanks

  • I just offerd my oppinion in all. everyone should have the chance to hear both sides of the story.

  • If you don't believe it, then buy a telescope and a powerful laser. Shouldn't be too expensive.

    Send pulses to the general area and receive a few back from the lower half left behind.

    owned

  • But the black dog squadron really was gathering bio metal and fighting the russians on the moon :o

  • 9. shadows. there is 1 light source the sun, but the shadows are different and cross over hmm? meaning 2 light sources. and when they are in the shadows of the lunar landings you can still see the astronaut perfectly! also when the astronaut is facing the camera and the sun behind it should be a silhouette but no. they are perfect and you can see every little detail on he suit.

  • Sweetheart, I highly doubt the astronauts would have flown up there in the dark. The second light source is there own. Space is black and WINDY. The moon also has gravity. Next time pay attention in science and you wouldn't look like an idiot in front of the whole world.

  • 7. if you speed the videos up x2 then the astronauts are running and the buggy is driving at normal speed that would be on earth.

    8. there is no dust on the craft when it lands if it dropped down but the craft is spotless.

  • they would 6 sheets of lead but they were only protected by thin sheets of aluminium and paper sheets. and the space suits were mainly rubber silicon and other materials that wouldn't come up to scratch. this is why the Russians stopped their flights to the moon. the Russians have never sent a man to the moon.

  • have you ever though that their useing a camra from the 60s plus have you ever though the video camra might have a light on it to make the astronauts vissable

  • 5. how did they survive the space radiation. and one by one the astronauts and people involved with them die in mysterious situations. all of them. were they silenced? The radiation belt surrounding the planets. the sun has magnetic storms and spreads radiation all over space increasing it by 100 fold. on the time of the flight there was a massive storm lasting 3 days. but it had no affect of the Apollo crew.

  • they probably died cuase the effects of the radiation killd them afterwards

  • 4. again the photos the same back drop is used in several photos on different days and even years later

    5. The person who was originally meant to go on a test flight they were sealed inside and a fire started killing them all. baron who testified against the Apollo project and submitted a 500 page report of why. but 2 days later he was stuck down and the report is missing today. and 15% of the Nasa crew disappear and end up dead.

  • fake.. here's a few points.

    1. most of the pictures are doctored. the cross hairs that appear on all of them on top of the image but on a few they are broken and items in front.

    2. there's no atmosphere on the moon so how is the flag getting blown around hmm?

    3. it takes so much force to get off the moon so how is there no crater underneath? and the foot prints are still there. hmm wouldn't they get blown away.

  • Amazing how there is no wind in space. So an astronaut can just walk around like they do in the MOVIES. Stop watching TV and pick up a science book.

  • Wasn't this landing a hoax perpwtuated to seemingly defeat the Soviets in the space race?

  • It was a soundstage on Mars.

  • If I was Armstrong I wouldve said "Russia, sit down noobs you just got poned"

  • One of the greatest and most powerful pieces of footage of all time, this will probably still be held in high respect by humans in 1000 years if we still remain by then.

  • yeah im with u :)

  • man, i love the people who say there is no gravity on the moon. if it werent for the moons gravity, there would be no tides.

  • I believe this is real, myself.

  • the fact that there are NO stars prooves its more real to me than fake. why? because if it was faked they would have definetly put in stars in the background!

  • thats true, and if you look in the background (yes its fuzzy but concentrate) every1 once in awhile u see a slight starlike twinkle "dam we forgot to put stars....o ya thats because its not faked and we didnt have the choice to put them in!"

  • Dammit! We forgot to put stars in the sky! Now every retard will KNOW this is a fake! We spent millions of dollars to fool the world and some asshat forgot to put stars in the sky! Why was this footage broadcast with such a fatal flaw! I want names!

  • thats due to the exposure.. the longer the exposure the more details you will see in space.. actually you need a exposure of like two days or longer (!) with the hubble telescope to photograph other galaxies... so nobody forgot to put stars in the sky ;)

  • Everyones looking for a conspiracy theory arnt they!? Well the easiest place to look for a conspiracy is to look at religion not the first landing on the moon. How many of you who believe that this landing on the moon was fake also believe in some sort of deity/god?

  • Its no so much the footage that supplies the likelyhood of it being real its the science behind it and the result of it.

  • The thing is if this was fake surely it would have been proven to be fake by now. Even Richard Dawkins the renowned skeptic believes this landing on the moon was almost certainly real.

  • Neil Armstrong to this day claims to have said the quote right. He blames a break in the audio for the mistake.

  • It was real dammit. You guys have no solid proof it was fake. And an audio test shows he said A man not man. It just wasn't audible. There is no wind on the moon so the footprints will stay there forever.

  • If it was fake, dont you think the soviets wouldnt found that out, Einstein? you know they had much smarter spies in the USSR, than some dumb fuck (like you are) sitting in front of a computer and tiping "its fake' and other bs.. if it was fake the soviets would have made such a scandal about it!

  • The moon landing was fake... you idiots
