Was It The U.s. Moon Landing in 1969 Fraud?

NASA has kept the controversy in this dignified silence. Already in 1978 he went to the cinema very vivid sci-fi movie Capricorn One, in which it was revealed that the first flight of astronauts on Mars was a huge fraud, orchestrated by NASA. A 15 February 2001 broadcast on Fox American-hour documentary film called: Conspiracy Theory: Did we Land on the Moon? (Conspiracy theory: we landed on the moon?) As American astronauts Armstrong, Aldrin and others were in this movie just impostors: the whole event was apparently staged somewhere in the film studio on a U.S. base in the Mojave Desert.

Why would you believe it? Well, the documentary claimed that the American flag, arrested in the soil of the Moon, the television footage of the alleged moon flutters in the wind – and we do know that the moon is no wind. Photos that allegedly took astronauts are suspiciously well nakomponovány and all of them can not see the night sky on the moon, even if it had to be dramatic to see the number of stars. Even more significant is said that the shadows of the images come from more than one direction – that the moon must be impossible, given that there is only one light source, the sun – on the contrary in the TV studio would be more lights. And as for the stone that said astronauts gathered on the lunar surface, one stone, raised by the Apollo astronauts, bears the letter “C”, it is said, therefore, is not convincing studio prop.

But the most serious argument dokumetárního movie on Fox seemed to be that said the Earth and the Moon is an intense radiation field, which supposedly could not overcome no living inhabitants of our planet. It is true, the Independent notes that the American Fox TV is not exactly top investigative journalism (the tabloid blatantly), her documentary, however, caused a sensation. On the Internet and elsewhere, was published a number of different theories. NASA considered whether to respond. She therefore declared that it was not a hoax and that the astronauts actually landed on the moon.

It only provoked by the authors of the conspiracy theories that reaction, the accused NASA, refusing to respond to their specific critical comments. NASA hired a popular author of books and articles with a scientific theme, Jim Oberg, whose job was to be crushed in detail the arguments of critics, one by one. Oberg explained that this work forward, mainly because he wanted to show how these conspiracy theories arise. “There is no stupid question,” he said. “Every time something like this occurs, it is an opportunity to make a person learned something.” But once the contract by NASA to cancel it. The official explanation is that the arguments that critics say are so absurd that it is not worth a rebuttal.

In fact, NASA feared that the publicity about the Oberg s book could cause further problems on its financing. All the conspiracy theorists accept it as proof that NASA hiding something. It should be noted that a number of scientists investigated the matter and they both came to the conclusion that the authors of the conspiracy theories are wrong. Too many features of the Apollo flights were impossible to falsify, from radio signals, which saw the listening stations around the world, and the stones from the Moon, which has been geologically analyzed and clearly comes from an environment where many millions of years without water. (Ono letter “C” is apparently a random pile of negatives.) If you look the American flag on the moon, it flies, it was intentional. Astronauts raised the flag with horizontal bars and deliberately nenatáhli it a hundred percent, so it was a little creases. The shadows are reflected in several directions, because the sunlight reflected from the surface of the moon itself. However Kaysing Bill, whose book We Never Went To The Moon (We never flown to the moon) was published in 1974, argues that Americans have decided to falsify the alleged moon landings after the Russians had “proved” that the moon landing is scientifically impossible.

Critics accuse NASA, the astronauts about the event systematically lied. However, the Independent points out, they just are not very credible liar – especially about his personal life. Other conspiracy theorists argue that NASA landed on the moon while, but found there an alien civilization, and so silent about it. According to one author was a race between the Soviets and Americans about space exploration efforts over who will be the first to conclude an agreement with the inhabitants of other planets.
