Apollo / NASA Moon Landing Hoax - Mythbusters - Discovery Channel

Apollo / NASA Moon Landing Hoax - Mythbusters - Discovery Channel

This episode was based on the urban legend/conspiracy theory which claims that NASA never landed men on the moon, and instead the achievement was intentionally faked for one reason or another.
Apollo Conspiracy Theorists are BUSTED!!!

One of the NASA photos is fake because the shadows of the rocks and lunar lander are not parallel. - BUSTED by MythBusters!!!

One of the NASA photos is fake because Neil Armstrong can be clearly seen while in the shadow of the lunar lander. - BUSTED by MythBusters!!!

A flag cannot flap in a vacuum. - BUSTED by MythBusters!!!

A clear footprint cannot be made in vacuum because there is no moisture to hold its shape. - BUSTED by MythBusters!!!

The film of the astronauts moonwalking is actually film of the astronauts skipping in front of a high-framerate camera, slowing down the picture and giving the illusion they are on the Moon. - BUSTED by MythBusters!!!

The Apollo astronauts left behind special equipment on the Moon like reflectors that scientists can bounce lasers off of. - CONFIRMED by MythBusters!!!

I am 99.9999% sure the mood landing wasn't faked. They would have had motive though. They sucked billions of taxes into the project. It HAD to succeed or people would have snapped, USA would have lost face, and maybe the USSR would have won the cold war.

dont you find it odd that nasa helped with the projects? to me, that's a conflict of interest designed to fall in nasa's favor. this is like watching an episode of mythbusters having oj simpson help design experiments to prove he's not a murderer.

im not saying we did or didnt land on the moon. im just trying to be open-minded. but nasa's involvment contaminated the whole project.biased in their favor.

They are full of shit and know that Americans are so fuckin fake!

I still love the best argument on the for side is Russia has never said anything about us not doing it. They would have the most to gain, and would have had all of the information on it. And seeing they are still sending spies to get secrets from us, I don't think we would have been able to talk them out of telling the world.

@Hip48Xn3 in a way there had to be nasa's involvement in this. you can't just strap on a bungee rope and jump around in your backyard to get accurate results. There had to be proper equipment that includes the accuate weight, motion, etc. Not trying to be biased in anyway, they would not have the funds to have a Zero G machine certified by FAA, or a Vacuum machine that accurate to produce the exact results. Not to mention the legit Nasa's astronaut boots,why not strap on some cheap boots instead

A freak show

[sheenyheed]

This debunks nottin, nottin i tell ya! What about rocks with letters on, astronauts in front of crosshairs, astronauts changing film in cameras on moon surface with gardening gloves on, using the same backdrop for different areas,etc, etc, etc. But since then why has no astronaut been out of low earth orbit, ever!

[GodmyX]

@NsiteAkaJoshuaMC You have simplificiated a complex thing so much that you shouldn't be able to talk to others at all. I hate such people.

The CIA had much to gain/
