This all began on February 15th when Fox television aired a program called "Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?", but the first document about this, came from Bill Kaysing's book "We Never Went to the Moon: America's Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle," released in 1974.
For years, conspiracy theorists have said the U.S. government, the Apollo astronauts and thousands of NASA employees faked the lunar landing in order to win the space race to the moon, fought against Russia.
The conspiracy theory’s proposers have pointed to missing blueprints from several lunar vehicles, a waving American flag and several moon rocks that they say were actually collected by Wernher von Braun while on a trip to Antarctica!! But that’s not all! It was also pointed out that:
• The cameras had no white meters or view finders. So the astronauts achieved this feet without being able to see what they were doing.
• Their film stock was unaffected by the intense peaks and powerful cosmic radiation on the Moon, conditions that should have made it useless.
• They managed to adjust their cameras, change film and swap filters in pressurized clubs. It should have been almost impossible to bend their fingers. .
• The shadows could only have been created with multiple light sources and, in particular, powerful spotlights. But the only light source on the Moon was the sun.
• The American flag and the words "United States" are always brightly lit, even when everything around is in shadow.
• Not one Apollo astronaut ever contracted cancer--not even the Apollo 16 crew who were on their way to the Moon when a big flare started.
• Not one Apollo astronaut ever contracted cancer--not even the Apollo 16 crew who were on their way to the Moon when a big flare started.
• And if the astronauts were protected by their space suits, why didn't rescue workers use such protective gear at the Chernobyl meltdown, which released only a fraction of the dose astronauts would find?
• The pictures are so perfect, each one would have taken a slick advertising agency hours to put them together. But the astronauts managed it repeatedly.
Some experts believe that the mistakes were deliberate left there by "whistle blowers", who were keen for the truth to one day get out. If they are right and the pictures are fake, then we've only NASA's word that Man ever went to the Moon.
If this is truth, or else... If this is not truth, if this is all a big story based on a lie by a powerful government, what can we trust and believe in? This is a very delicate information which can change our reality. And if they were capable of make this up, they might have made up, as well, a lot of other things...
Do we really know the world we live in?

I find this subject very interesting. I had already heard some "conspiracy theories" about it, but still I'm not convinced that it was all made up. You seem very interested in those theories... Perhaps you could post more about it! ;)
I found this subject also really interesthing,let me tell you some stories by the other side..(the side of Sovietunion)Did you know it that Gagarin was the 23rd russian astrounat who went to space,but the first one who survived?And the famous dog "Lajka" died after 40 seconds that he has been sent to space?But ofcourse these stories were not published that time,not even now...
Well, conspiracy theories will always be the shadow of the great things made by men. It takes a lot of imagination to believe in such things, i think.
There are theories stating that 9/11 was perpetrated by the US, just to give the world a reason to invade Afghanistan and Iraq. If you like to think that our society is going mad, theories like this are delicious. More: did Lee Harvey Oswald kill JFK alone? By himself? Shooting 3 rounds in 5 seconds from a weapon that takes a lot more than that only to reload? How could he hit him so perfectly considering the distance and the wind? Yeah. At some extent, all of this makes sense.
Portuguese referees are said to be corrupt. But when our team wins we don't care if they really are. It's a question of perspective. For me, there's no need to take credit to those who earned it.
The real question is: why should we doubt that Man really walked on the Moon? Why do we have this need to relativize (yeeek... i think this is a neologism) everything? It's not just the media, I mean, people like to think things aren't just as we're told they are.
That's why a lot of people believe Hitler's still alive.
So this means that you believe in everything that people or media may tell you... The great thinkers of all time created their opinions by doubting and questioning the facts that were taken as truth. Nowadays we can expect everything from Man… and one should keep his eyes open ;).
I don't see why shouldn't we believe that man walked on the moon. Really, what's the point? Ok, USA is a country of bastards and stuff like that, but that's just taking credit to the guys who actually landed, walked and wandered on the moon's soil.
We should think with wisdom. And I don't believe that any of those great thinkers had doubts of a fact like this. Because it is objective, unlike great thinkers like to t
