I think they did it. A friend of mine directed me to lunaranomalies.com and they had some interesting theories, yet each of these amateur theories were disproved. Look at it this way. In 1969 the americans and the russians were locked in a desperate bid to get into orbit and ultimately the moon. "Journey beyond selene" by Jeffery Kluger brilliantly documented this. The russian premier publicly mocked the americans and their various failures at even hitting the moon with a basic rocket. Enter 1969 and the pictures of Aldrin and Armstrong on the moon. No comment from Russia. They didn't even televise it. If there was even a hint of evidence that it was faked, the russians would have been all over it like a rash. If it was faked they did a really good job. A secret like that could never be kept, and not one reputable scientist has challenged it. All we have are diehard and paranoid lay people looking for attention. If you look up Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin on the net you might find some hilarious footage of the day he left a conference to be accosted by one such person. He knocked him flat with one punch! Hilarious. Selene is the greek word for moon.

Actually, I think it would be more appropriate for us to send all the moon landing conspiracy theorists on an all-expenses, one-way trip to the heart of the Sun.\n\nIt would surely raise the average IQ of the planet to get rid of some of those nitwits.

Okay then... I too have my thoughts on this. I believe we did go. "in the footage the flag waves... that's because we put wires in it to make it do that. there are other things that I have no proof for but I did do an essay on Neil Armstrong so whatever.... I'm no expert...

You conspiracy theorists simply can't get enough to give it up.\n\nDo you think the Soviets would have allowed us to get away with such a lie for so long and not expose it?\n\nIf the the U.S.'s most secretive President in history can't conceal the NSA's wiretapping, how do you think anyone could have pulled off what you suggest for so long?\n\nYes, I do believe we went to and landed on the moon, and brought rocks back, too.

Frankly, the conspiracy theory aired on Discovery was damn convincing enough that I now feel man never went to the moon...\n\nThings like no-blast crater, doctored images, insufficient radiation protection etc all point to the fact that it was all but a big hoax

Yes, I believe man has really visited the moon. Propaganda for what purpose? To beat the Russians? Please don't drink any kool-aid.

Oh yeah, would it ever. Think about all the things the moon affects, everything womens menstration to the tides, if we didnt have a moon all of that would get out of balance. Think about all the organisms that live on the tide line, the ones that need both the air and the water there, how many animals count on that cycle just to live. Also alot of migratory paterns of animals depend on the moon as well. Thats a little off topic, but yeah the moon not being there would totaly screw up weather too!

Heh, guess I'm here to play devil's advocate... To counter what the person above me said, personal accounts can be falsified, as well as movies (ever notice how the "moon" looks a lot like the New Mexican desert?). Moon rocks could easily have fallen from sky due to meteor impacts, it doesnt mean we were there and actually took them ourselves. And as to the corner cube, any simple machine could have dropped or placed it on the moon. And speaking of the pictures, there is quite a bit of controversy over them (see the link in the source section). Well, that was fun.

They have actually landed on the moon. Discovery Channel proved it, and the cost for shooting this all in studio was very high as compared to actually going on the moon. !!!!

Sure why not? heck China is planning a Moon landing itself so I think America needs to start heading back up to the Moon before China does.\n\nNot to mention if we wanna get to Mars then we might wanna start building a station on the Moon so that we can accomplish our goal of getting to Mars.

Actually I believe they did... evidence exists and all the proof people give to say otherwise can easily be explained... space missions still go one today and people do still land on the moon. It's not impossible! We should be glad that people are making the effort to study the things around us - though perhaps my only qualm is that the money spent could be better used for something else... like helping the poor

Oh Ralph! Such a big question now when I'm so tired?\n    Let' see, If I am in a coma... great, i need the rest. \nI have been waiting for such a long time for the mother ship to come back for me. I have given up on any hopes of ever getting back in space with my unearthly bretheren. I am going to be so happy... tell this Gov. to hurry up!

Most scientific research has no prospect of payback in the near or medium term future, if ever. Would you suggest cancelling all scientific research to eradicate povery also, even if some research could, in the future, change all our lives for the better? \n\nIt could be argued that the importance to America of their astronauts being first on the Moon was to establish a political benchmark against which the rest of the world would have to be measured. If a nation could make this supreme achievement, then what would be impossible to it?  I think America owes it's current prosperity in part to the feelings of pride and confidence generated by landing on the moon.

Good grief -- I've only been visiting this site for a month, and this is about the fifteenth time someone has asked this same ludicrous question.\n\nYes, we landed on the moon. \nYes, we went back several times. \nYes, we left things on the moon that can still be seen today. \nYes, we left a flag on the moon -- but it wasn't flapping in the breeze in the famous photo: its momentum after being unfurled has kept it moving in the absence of anything to slow it down.\n\nYes, we brought back samples of dust and rocks that have been studied for nearly 40 years. And there's nothing like them anywhere on Earth.\n\nNo, we haven't gone back since the landings because there are no economically viable reasons to do so in this modern era of cost-effectiveness and the bottom line driving science. But just because we haven't been back doesn't mean we were never there in the first place.\n\nThe U.S. was in a major competition with the Soviets to prove our scientific superiority. If we'd never landed on the moon, and it was all a sham, do you think the thousands of NASA employees would be able to keep the secret? Do you think every other nation in the world would remain complicit in the "greatest hoax ever perpetrated"?\n\nIsn't there a FAQ on Yahoo Answers that could put this baby to rest??  I can't believe that people still think this was some kind of hoax!

Men landed on moon during the times of space age race between Russia and USA. If it were a fraud, Russia would have been on top of it to bring it up. So, I guess it was confirmed that man really did land on moon and got rock samples back to earth. So i think it really happened. It can't be fraud. Ofcourse there is this talk about pictures taken by astronauts in moon that looks fake and all...but there are equally positive proofs of video and pictures taken on moon too. If you ask me, i think it is real.

Absolutely real! The couple of boobs who made accusations saying it was fake are complete idiots! Neither of the two who started this rumor had any technical background to support their claims! Find some old movie clips and see for yourself. The actions of the astronauts could not possibly be mimicked here on Earth! So now we have a paradox, in order to fake the moon landing you would have to go to the nearest object  to us in space which would be......you guessed it! The moon! Give Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin cudos for being the brave men they were and leave it rest! I remember watching it in awe live in my classroom at the ripe old age of 16! The onboard computers they used were no where near as powerful as your basic dell 300 dollar desktop.....they didnt have any more than 32 kilobits of ram and were totally programmed in binary. These men came dangerously close to not making it on their lunar landing.\nP.S. Nikis answer below explains why romania is still a third world, uneducated country. Her statement "why not the flag freeze?" is simply because there was no moisture present.
