it's a shame there wasn't an Apollo 18 mission. my mother remembers watching the first lunar mission with Armstrong etc. on the family's black and white tv in sussex england but the whole world watched so.. humans will go back to the moon and later mars. being born in late 1983 i can only imagine the excitement from these clips

We should just stop feeding the trolls. Two lunar sattelites, including a non-NASA one from Japan, have photographed the Apollo 17 landing site. We know it happened. Period.

@Tamaslammer trained on what? Any examples of wireless technology used in the day? CNN can't get audio synched to video in live interviews being transmitted over 10,000 miles today. That camera had to have the power to broadcast signal back 240,000 miles. Today they use satellites to relay, no high tech satellites back then. They still can't control the Mars Rover properly all the time.

@Tamaslammer ...ummm hear of the Van Allen radiation belt? The northern lights are beautiful, but they are actually solar radiation bouncing off the magnetic field that protects the earth. The moon doesn't have a magnetic field and the space suits have no shielding.

My argument against so-called moon-hoax conspiracy theorists is it would just be a lot easier to just send a couple guys to the moon than to fake it and keep thousands of people quiet and continue the hoax into 1973 when nobody really cared about going to the moon after 1970. We went to the moon.

So deal with it and move on to your next con-theo.

I've noticed the footage shown on this video is an exact match of the pictures taken by the LRO.

I will assume there are people that still think all 6 missions were faked and now the LRO photos are faked.

Thank you really appreciate the acceptance:)

@caxtonman Ha! Nice comeback!

I didn't intend to make an accusation. Perhaps I tried to squeeze what I wanted to say into too small a "space"! Sometimes that gives your response a tone you didn't intend - if so I apologise.

Well OK, I respect your opinion. May I just say that, every piece of Apollo footage I've seen from the lunar surface looks just fine and natural to me. As a student of Newton, I see nothing untoward (in contrast to every movie I've seen showing activity on the moon).

@eventcone As I said, It is my opinion from what I observed - I think they call it Freedom of Speech? Judging by your response I think you are the prejudiced one my friend.
