@nvstewart if it was fake the russians would have exposed it, but even they said it was done ....end of story!

@jenson1575 im well aware of that.im also well aware that the evidence that moon hoaxers have is weak.they grasp at videos of the antennas on the spacesuits flashing saying "they're hanging by wires"or"they couldnt survive the radiation of the van alan belts"or "they found ancient alien ruins" blaa blaa blaa.why cant they just take the apollo program for what it was?it was real,it was what it was.it was reaping of one of the worse weapons of greatest war ever fought that still go on to this day.

Was there ever a more beautiful rocket than the Saturn V?

Dude, dont forget, the apollo program costs 20 billion dollars. Besides, we were already beating the russians with the first docking, first manned rendezvous, first 2 manned docking, first 2 man space walk, first manned launch of a LEM, first men in a LEM is space, i can name alot more than that.

I prefer Jack King doing the countdowns for Apollo myself.

The funny thing about lunar hoaxers is that many will not dispute that we launched the Saturn V into space yet they deny that we landed on the moon. Believing that is like believing that you can build a car that can go 250 mph but a car that goes 260 mph is ridiculous. As has been said before "If you can get your ship into orbit, you're halfway to anywhere."

The Saturn V was the true engineering triumph of the Apollo program. Landing on the moon was just frosting on the cake.

I love these machines.

3 million kilo's of awesome racing into the sky.

Very jealous that Americans can say they did this and a terrible shame that the world economy is prohibiting further space exploration.

@TheJustRussian so your one of the idiots that can't except you were beat to the moon by the U.S. In this modern age we have technology that could see the specific spots on the moon where the astronauts landed. It shows evidence of the American flag the left behind and the lunar rover. Call that evidence?

@TheJustRussian like i said fake videos and forged photo, and god knows what rocks. Yeah you got it.
