No the reason we haven't been back is because landing men on the moon is getting harder and harder instead of easier and easier - Its so much more of a big deal now 40 years later - Why ?
Because we know a lot more than we did all those years ago
and we know that its at the limit of our capabilities now in 2010
@spacehopperballs - because the main purpose of the Apollo missions was to beat the USSR. We know what the moon is made up of & whats there - nothing of value. The only reason to go back would be to establish a moon base to use as a launch pad to Mars. However all this costs money & with limited funding they spend it on projects with the biggest scientific returns.
We'd be happy to address "Bad Astronomy is a Nasa front" as soon as you provide ANY proof whatsoever.
Inventing one flimsy fear-mongering conspiracy for your "evidence" of ANOTHER flimsy fear-mongering conspiracy only proves how you're just making up your story as you go.
How very scientific - bit like this obvious hit piece
I like the barnstorming to walking on the moon in 40 years but nothing since angle.
Or 30 something earth diameters away and back 40 years ago without a scratch yet now they only piss about in the shuttle a couple of hundred miles up with 14 killed up to now?
Completely and utterly absurd
Oh no wait a minute - I need to be a professor - sorry I forgot. smart people say we walked on the moon so that means we must have.
@spacehopperballs when we break down the reasons deniers like you have for claiming the landing was a hoax have nothing to do with whether it was technically impossible but entirely due to a paranoid fear/distrust of government.
The most substanyial proof one can think of is that the Apollo 11 austronauts said that they did not see any stars while in space. How can you not see them or not remember them? Their behaviour during that interview us everything but relaxed. Maybe they did land on the moon and maybe they didnt but one thing is for sure and that is there was (and maybe still is) something fishy going on.....
In Jim Lovell's book Lost Moon (filmed as Apollo 13) the only time they could see the stars and use them for navigational fixes was when they were in the shadow of the Moon; the rest of the time the Sun was too bright.
Don't you think that this is a weak argument why the others(armstrong,collins,aldrin) didn't see them in their capsule? If you turn your head 180 degrees away from the sun you should see them, but they didn't or even worse they couldn't REMEMBER !!
What? They can't see the stars for the same reason you cannot see them on Earth during the day, because it is too bright!
Here is substantial proof that the USA *DID* go to the Moon.
Do you think the USSR wouldn't have done all they could to establish if the USA really went or not? The USSR had some of the most brilliant minds in the world, if the USA hadn't gone they WOULD have found out and they WOULD have exposed them.
There are to many things that raise questions. Based on that, statisticly speaking you do not even have to proof that the moon landings were fake. Yeah, yeah ....i know i will provoke people with this blunt even stupid statement but it is more stupid to be blind with your eyes wide open.
Who raises the questions? People who are conspiracy theorists who have a deep mistrust of anything the government is involved with. They will go over all the moon landing photos & videos anomaly hunting looking for things that appear odd. When they find something it becomes their "proof" of a conspiracy but they fail to understand that much of it will look odd - its another world. They also display a total lack of understanding of photography which explains every anomaly they see.
I am not a scientist and do not pretent to be and I do not need to go out and find proof and to proof it is proof. Other people have done that for me and these people are no idiots. Some of them are specialiesed in the field of the material they study to be a hoax. So there you go..you would be naive to think that the US gov has always and will always be honnest to their tax payers.
When did I say the US Gov is always honest? Yes they are sometimes dishonest & yes they sometimes conspire to mislead the public - but not all the time. Most people who work in gov are like you & I. If the whole thing was faked the USSR would have known. All they needed to do was see where their sat dishes were pointing. If it was faked they would have said so, after all the main reason the US did it was to upstage the USSR after they had the first men & satellites in space.
If the moon landings were faked, im sure somebody that was involved would have spoken out by now,i dont think all NASA employees are that patriotic.I may be wrong but i have never heard of any cosmonauts doubting the moon landings,if anybody out there has,would you let me know please
richardthripp, you pretend to be free-minded but you're mired in dogmatic, unchangable belief. It seems one dogma is not enough for you either. Hoax dogma, religious dogma, no-one will ever change your small impenetrable mind with reason,logic,evidence,science or facts. You can delude yourself that you are extolling the truth but don't expect anyone to take you seriously.
Please go do some research, from your arguments, your starting to look very stupid. Your one of those people that will not accept any evidence. Might as well put on the ear plugs and the blindfold.
They haven't. I noticed you make no mention of the DNA evidence - Human & chimp share 98% the same DNA, the fused chromosome 2 in humans exactly matches 2 seperate chromosomes in chimps (exactly as evolution would predict) and the 98,000 endogenous retrovirus fragments found in exactly the positions in both human & chimp DNA (this could only occur if we share a common ancestor) - all of this is what you would expect to find if evolution was true.
Don't you just love those people that argue from ignorance. If your going to argue against something, atleast know the facts of the opposition. Before you make yourself look foolish. Great video btw
Do you believe in electricity & gravity? Both of those are "just theories". In science all explanations are theories as they must always remain open for the possiblity of new data - whether or not that data supports the theory. So far no data opposes evolution & in fact we have seen evolution occur in bacteria & virus. We also see the evidence for evolution in our anatomy & DNA. I suggest googling 'bonnan evolution' & reading the wiu entry.
Evolution has nothing to do with with the Big Bang Theory. Gee I wish you cretinist creationists would actually properly research a topic before speaking about it. I suggest you read about chromosome #2 in humans & apes DNA sequences which is physical proof of our having a common ancestor.
yes i agree. this was a excellent talk; thank you for posting it.
youtube and similar sites seem to be populated entirely by conspiracy theorists who only present terribly uninformed opinions. it's great to see someone debunking the moon hoax myth.

which puts it neatly in context....

Propaganda = 99% Lies i% truth behold the apollo missions
The only reason for going (ie not going) was "propaganda"
get a life.

Spreading the crap is a cut and paste troll.
The Moon hoax has nothing to do with straw man bullshit - research it properly -

It's nothing to do with looking into the sun, it's about the amount of light reflecting off the highly reflective surface of the Moon.

Several assumptions:
1. people haven't ratted
2. media would report
I think that the potential sources of leaks have been well blackmailed and won't even think of exposing the fraud in life or death.

Rocks, by the bagful, prove conclusively that N.A.S.A.'s moon men traveled one half million miles, traversing the magnetosphere twice.
