The Moon Hoax

Is it true? Is it fake? Find out if NASA really did land on the moon.

NASA did land of the moon, it wasn't just a fake film. People argue about the flag waving, and how there is no stars in the movie, but there are reasons those things didn't show. Also, NASA landed on the moon because of the proof they brought back.

Firstly, people go on and on and on and on and on and on until I think I am going to puke, about how in the film of the first lunar landing, the flag waved. Well obviously, if anyone used their common sense, you will see that the astronauts were rotating the flag, back and forth to try to stick it in the ground. Protesters, who just want to be rebels for the sake of it (they actually know it happened, they wont admit it though) say that there is no wind on the moon, therefore the flag couldn't wave so NASA faked it. Not just wind makes flags wave. When Buzz tried to erect the flag, tough moon rock was hard to break through, and with hardly any gravity, it was harder. He had to twist and turn it a bit, to make sure it wouldn't fly off.

Secondly, I heard in school on a documentary that astronauts didn't land on the moon because there were no stars in the picture. There weren't any stars, because the sun reflects on the moon, so the astronaut must have been so stunning and bright, that stars would seem dull against the astronaut, therefore hardly visible. Of course NASA landed on the moon. It's simple.

More proof (if you're still not convinced, which is highly unlikely), is that the astronauts from the first lunar landing brought back 841 pounds of hard moon rock. Scientists say that that rock is especially unique, only found on the moon. Just as explorers and pioneers brought back evidence of their journey, for instance Columbus brought back a lot of natives to Spain, to prove that he made his trip, Apollo (the space ship that went to the moon first) brought back all this moon rock. NASA sent men to the moon; it's common sense.

NASA did send men to the moon, because of moon rock they brought back, and the arguments against it are wrong, because of the above reasons. You can choose what you believe, but in my opinion, man did walk on moon.

Good discussion. I like the way you backed up your statements with evidence, and arguments from the opposition were cleanly rebutted. Well done
