Were the Apollo Moon Landings a Hoax?

In my search to try to answer this question I found a rather interesting and well written article (make your own mind up as to its contents).

The article in full

Some excerpts:

Quote:
why has America not returned to the moon in nearly thirty years? Following the alleged landings, there was considerable talk of establishing a space station on the moon, and of possibly even colonizing Earth's satellite. Yet all such talk was quickly forgotten, and for twenty-eight years now not a single human has left the Earth's orbit.

       Not a single human, that is, from any country on the planet. Again, the question that comes to mind is: why? Why has no nation ever duplicated this miraculous feat? Clearly, the technology is there. Technology has advanced to such a degree in the last three decades that virtually any industrialized nation currently has technology that is light-years beyond what the United States had in 1969.

       And yet no one has made an attempt to once again land a man on the moon. Is this because we already learned everything we need to know about the moon? Of course not. That is an absurd supposition. Would it be possible to make six random landings on the surface of the Earth and come away with a complete and thorough understanding of this heavenly body? Again, of course not.

       And are we to believe that the scientific community has come up with no new questions in the intervening decades that beg for answers? I should think not. Why then has not France, or Germany, England, Japan, or any of a number of other technologically advanced nations made any effort to reach the moon?

There is no atmosphere on the moon, and therefore it is scientifically impossible for any wind to be blowing across the moon's surface. Nevertheless, the flag allegedly planted by U.S. astronauts can be clearly seen flapping in the breeze in NASA's footage of the landings.

The lack of atmosphere means that the astronauts should have been treated to the most brilliant display of stars ever viewed by man. Nevertheless, no stars are visible in the lunar sky in any of the still photos or videotape supposedly shot on the moon.

There is, as previously noted, no blast crater visible under any of the lunar landing modules, despite the fact that NASA's own artist renderings clearly show the presence of a large blast crater. Also, in the official NASA footage of the first landing, shot from within the module as it allegedly descended to the lunar surface, no engine noise can be heard, and there are no visible flames, smoke, or dust.

The landing module, or LEM, never once successfully landed in test flights taken on Earth, and yet the modules performed perfectly on all six lunar landings.

The designer of the cameras allegedly used on the missions has stated publicly that it would have been impossible for the astronauts to use them as they are seen doing in NASA's footage. Specifically, it would not have been possible for the men to see into the viewfinder to verify that the shot was properly composed and in focus. Nevertheless, thousands of photos were brought back, all perfectly framed and sharply focused.

All of the light available to the astronauts on the moon would have come from a single source -- the sun. NASA acknowledges that no supplemental lighting was available to the astronauts. Nevertheless, many of the photos taken show shadows cast in more than one direction, indicating that there had to have been multiple light sources used.

Since there was only one light source, any persons or objects lying in the shadows of other objects would be unlit. Nevertheless, many of the photos show the astronauts and their equipment standing in the shadows, and yet they are fully lit -- again indicating that supplemental lighting was used.

There are identical backgrounds visible in still photos and videotape allegedly shot at different locations on the moon. Superimposing those background shots verifies that they are, in fact, exactly the same in every detail. They appear to be a studio backdrop.

There are also identical foregrounds in some of the shots, again allegedly shot at different times and at different locations on the moon.

There were cross-hair reference marks etched into the lenses of the cameras used on the missions. These marks should at all times appear on top of whatever objects were being photographed. Nevertheless, in many of the shots, the marks are partially blocked by objects in the photos, indicating that the images had to have been altered.

Some scientists have claimed that the suits worn by the astronauts would not have protected them from the temperature extremes present on the moon. Due to the lack of atmosphere, the temperature in the sun would have been somewhere around +250 degrees. Stepping into the shadows, it would have dropped instantly to -250 degrees.

Many scientists have also questioned how the astronauts could have survived passing through the intense radioactivity of the Van Allen radiation belts. By some estimates, protection from the belts - thousands of feet wide - would have required a solid envelope of lead some four feet thick.

As with any good conspiracy, there is the requisite trail of bodies surrounding the Apollo flights. No fewer than ten of America's top astronauts died under mysterious circumstances in the years immediately preceding the supposed moon landings -- including Virgil "Gus" Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee, who were burned to death during a test procedure on January 27, 1967. Thomas Baron, a safety inspector for NASA, was killed along with his family just a week after delivering highly critical testimony to Congress. Along with his testimony, Baron submitted a 1,500 page report to the congressional committee. Following his death, the report went missing and has never been seen again.


Just to emphasize that last bit:

The thing about conspiracy is that I just keep changing my mind.

In this instance we see another person dying in suspicious circumstances.

I ask myself, is the United States of America so  afraid of truth that it is willing to kill whole families.

Oh bugger.  The answer popped into my head before I finished the sentence.

They are, and they do.

Not only families but whole nations if needs be.

Did they lie about the moon landings.

I'm not saying cos there is a black limo parked opposite my house.

Got to go.

Here is a little something to make you think.
