In class we've been talking about if we went to the moon or not. There is alot of stuff for both sides and I really think we did go, but after watching this movie it really tests it.

Like:
-The flag waving
-No Blast Crater under rocket
-shadows are in different directions
-Cross hair's in photos are under objects insted of being on top of them
-At one point they show a hill and then later it comes back but is clamed to be 10miles apart.

But you could dissprove with:
-Flag was moved and so for every action there is a reaction
-Blast crater was figured in early reditions of what the landing would be like, so why would they leave it out?


And that's about all I've come up with other then 1million people we're involved in it so you could never keep it for this long. What are your thoughts?

They've already disproved any doubts about this on the National Geographic Channel. The proved the flag thing, they proved that the shadow thing was because not all shadows are parallel, and if it was fake, there would be more than one shadow. There is also the point that this happened during the Cold War. The USSR was spying on almost everything we were doing, and if this was fake, they would have told the whole world, "Hey everyone! The US is going to say that they landed on the moon, but don't believe it because it's fake!"

To win the space race, it was thought impossible the USSR wasnt even ready to take that big of a leap, also everyone was scared the USSR would take control of the moon and attack us from there or spy on us.

Also 1 in 5 americans think we didnt go to the moon.

And yet we're still one of the richest countries in the world. Dumb Luck?

And only 13% of American high school graduates claim that they were taught well in school. So, basically, America, in general, is a stupid country. Don't get me wrong-I'm American myself, and I'm patriotic. But look at the intelligence level of teenagers here and compare it to teenagers in China. We're WAY behind.


I'm thinking that America in general comes up with too many stupid conspiracy theories. Here's another example of what a stupid one is:
There are some people that believe that what hit the Pentagon on September 11 was actually a missile that the Air Force launched to bring down one of the planes, but it missed and instead hit the Pentagon. I have two friends that dtill believe it no matter what kind of evidence my other friend and I can pull up from any source. By the way, I don't want to get started on that topic, cause that's going to lead to a flame war.

Lol Neil a few years ago was in a press confrance and a reporter said "Why dont you just come out and say we didnt go?" and Neil jumped down and beat that guy and said "How dare you say that, I lost a alot of friends who were in the program that died trying to go to the moon"

The landing was real, my mother has a relative that worked on the space shuttle's lighting. I also have a signed autograph of Neil Armstrong.
