Proof that the Moon landings were not faked

Proof that the Moon landings were not faked.

Today’s age we seem to be driven to the idea from conspiracy theories that are trying to disprove one of mans greatest accomplishments. It was triumphant back in 1969 when NASA sent Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin onto the Moon. Computer processing power was as capable as a standard pocket calculator, up to 72 KB of storage until today that we can store hundreds of GB of flash memory on a tiny USB drive. Fascinating news though I wasn’t born to witness this and without doubt anyone born after 1969 saw this happening. With a cut to NASAs budget and an end of a Cold War there wasn’t a desire to land a man on the moon after 1972. History books do not write the second, third and beyond to land on the Moon, only the first.

However SpaceX are ambitious to send man to Mars by the year 2024.

1. Images from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

Latest pictures taken from NASA Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter show the outline of the buggy tracks and astronauts footprints taken on the surface.

2. Three Different Space Agencies Confirmed the mission in progress.


NASA took images of the landing area during the mission and these images were confirmed accurate by the DOD Clementine probe. 3 different space agencies had probes with hi resolution capabilities to see evidence of activity on the moon.

3. The flag on the moon wasn't flapping

Space doesn't provide any unbalanced forces and theres no atmosphere, So the inertia of the flag would continue when it was handled by the astronaut.

4. Time Delay in radio communications.


Radio contact travels at the speed of light, which is 186,000 miles per second / 300,000 km/s and the distance between the earth and the moon is 238,900 miles / 384,000 km. So a message from earth to Houston Control and Richard Nixon's phone call has a 1.28 s time take as it would take to transverse space.

5. Lunar Rocks

The basalt in lunar rocks are formed in environments of very dry without any oxygen present. These were supportive to the theory of the formation of the moon and solar system.

6. Raw Images by NASA


On the 40th Anniversary of the lunar landings NASA came about restoring their images from the 1969 archive. This was endeavored to help the public believe that a lot of the bad images conveying a studio set would be compelling enough to believe this mission cannot be achieved on a set.

7. Japanese probe Images

Photos from the Japanese SELENE probe confirmed the evidence of the landscape it reconstructed from two Apollo 15 pictures in 1971.


8. Alan Shepard Playing Golf on the moon


The Gravity on the moon is 6x less and the golf shot would be very difficult to recreate in special effects when Alan Shepard pots a hole in one.

Last but not least, why would you think Neil Armstrong express his first most ultimate and sobering words "Its one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind"? No one could of faked it.
