Was the Moon Landing a Hoax?

This July sees the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, and funnily enough, my 40th birthday. I have a vested interest in this moon landing actually having happened, and I for one believe it did. I am in absolutely no doubt however that the powers that be could have pulled off a hoax if they’d wanted to… My forenames are Aldrin Armstrong. I was named after Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong and I’d absolutely hate to think that I’ve gone very nearly 40 years of my life now, being named after what many believe could have been the hoax of the millennium, or more precisely, the last millennium, as I’m sure this millennium will show us more, in fact I’m sure it probably already has.
Funny how the first two men on the moon used to be household names, yet mention them to the majority of under 30 year olds nowadays, and I’ll wager you’ll more often than not be met by a glazed and slightly blank look. Oh, by the way, Michael Collins, the ever unsung hero in the command module of Apollo 11, will one day also adorn my name, when I finally get around to adding him provided they never prove it was a hoax of course.
Back to the point though, I for one have no doubt whatsoever that the powers that be could easily have pulled off a hoax of this scale if they’d really wanted to (cue memories of the Mars scenes in “Capricorn 1”), but I personally like to think that on this particular event they didn’t. Yet the conspiracy theorists perpetuate the thought that it was a hoax.
There are many conspiracy theories out there about events in history that could well, no, let’s admit it, probably were orchestrated by those in power to induce war and conflict, simply because of the money making machine that wars and conflicts are. A few of the more recent events in question might be 9/11, Oklahoma, Iraq’s supposed weapons of mass destruction, the Wall Street crash, the Great Depression, World War I.
The list of events that the powers that be could, and probably have manipulated or initiated to keep you and I moving in the direction that they want us to, and thus shape the world to their liking, is growing by the day. Watch this space for events in play or conspiracies coming to a town near you soon…..identity cards for all, DNA fingerprinting, implanted medical history chips, cash free society, trackable bank cards for all…see where I’m heading?
My own favourite explanation for where we all fit into the big scheme of things is found at the end of this link, and if it’s as true as I think some of it is, then I’ll expect the men in black suits at my door sometime soon for my daring to spread the word……then again, perhaps this site is one of the red herrings or double-bluffs initiated by the same organisations just to make us think we stand a chance? Or of course, there’s always the possibility that we’re already in ‘The Matrix’. Mind boggling to think about really,….anyway…here’s the link:

Watch the film on the right first, but unless you really want/need to listen to the first 5 minutes, I’d advise forwarding to around the 5 minute mark, or you might risk being bored, and hence missing the rest of the film….which is mind blowing….You should watch the addendum too.
Oh well, regarding Apollo 11, at least I have my very own little piece of history to carry around with me, conspiracy or not, and it’ll always be something to tell the grand children about, or to fill a blank in a particularly boring conversation.
So, with that little piece of trivia imparted and a few thoughts hopefully bouncing around in your heads about just where you sit in the big scheme of things, I’ll leave you to it. Unless of course you happen to work with NASA? I’d love to come to the 40th anniversary bash? No? Well you can’t blame a chap for trying…..

Privately I believe they went to the moon. My public stance is that it was a big conspiracy by Cold War American Imperialists to topple Communism.
Did I sound convincing?

For the sake of anyone else viewing this before my revision is put in place, this is to let you know that I am removing the reference to 9/11. Regardless of my beliefs as to the nature of that event, many people lost their lives, and I apologise for the insensitive way that it was included in my piece, and for any offence caused. None was intended.

I personally believe the moon landing was a Cold War conspiracy. Way to get people thinking!

Yes, if you mention their names to me I would have that same glazed and blank expression lol
I’m not sure if that something to be happy about.

40 is the symbol of mature age. You don’t need to hate that!
So, your picture profile is according to this history?
You must change your picture!

I’m 50-50 on the moon landing, leaning a bit more towards “hoax”, so sue me.

Actually the whole idea of already being in “The Matrix” is quite valid. Not in the sense that the movie suggests. However, if we look at creation or the “natural world” which ever you want to call it and them look at things like chaos theory and fractals then we can reconcile God and science. So therefore our universe is just a computer program that is either running correctly or gone completely askew. It’s all in our perception really. I go through days when I think the moon landing was a hoax and days when I think it happened. Both beliefs are right. Because both things happened, are happening, are going to happen, are not happening, and didn’t happen. It just depends on what frequency you are I are tuned to at any given time.
On your Birthday be happy that on one spot on the dail men landed on the moon on your birthday and ignore that spot on the dail where it was a hoax.

I firmly believe the Eagle landed on the moon. One dead give-away is look at the science fiction before the space program and after. We didn’t know what to expect, so people remain with their feet firmly on the ground. As for the simulation in Capricorn 1, I looked over the footage of the Eagle landing and the supposedly staged event in the movie. The old footage is bad–cameras simply weren’t as good back then. After looking at the amount of digging I had to do to get a good look at the old shots and not rely on my memory, I’m not surprised youngsters today are surprised that it was real. I blame it on throwing away books that are more than 12 years old.

If they managed to do it many years ago with inferior technology compared to what is available today, why have they not done it again. To do it today will be much easier

Its all very well for conspiracy theorists to preach about a hoax citing special effects and doctoring of photos.
I therefore find it quite bizarre that in 1977 George Lucas created Star wars and spent millions on special effects and that he was using state of the art computers at that time with models and you can tell it was done that way.
Yet nearly 10 years before it would appear the special effects were far superior for NASA to create the hoax, why didnt George Lucas use them, why did he create it all from scratch? and do such a poor job? after all in 1969 they had the technology to digitally delete ‘the strings and wires’ Furthermore, in the film Apollo 13 which was filmed inside the aircraft doing parabolic curves, the longest duration of filming was only 30 secs, yet in 1969 Nasa presumably found away of recording hours and hours of weighlessness from a single viewpoint in the command module!
However, if you want proof it was real, here it is and no conspiracy theorist can explain it away, they refuse to mention it.
Back then all the space program used VHF for their communication, (I believe they still do) all the worlds radio dishes were pointing into space including the Russians and everyone else who had them.
When they(the astronauts) were on the moon, the source of those radio communications picked up by those dishes was ‘extra terrestial’ they eminated from another body other than earth.
If it had been ’staged on earth’ the outgoing source would have been picked up by the earth bound stations and any pick up from the moon would have shown as a reflection. The Russians would have picked up on this immediatley, unless of course they were in on the hoax, yeah right!
All the comunication from earth to the astronauts were ‘extra terrestial’. When the dishes were pointed away from the Moon the signal was lost.
Finally all scientists know when rocks have come through our atmosphere, they are changed because of it.
Or are the theorist saying the moon rock was brought back remotely by yet unmentioned means, Presumably these remote vehicles set down on the moon and then took off? So they did have the technology to do it but no one knows anything about these missions?
Today every scientist on Earth still studying the moonrocks are also in on the hoax, including the Chinese.
come on, give mankind the credit he deserves

I don\’t believe, I KNOW that there was a moon landing and I put my entire faith in it. I believe that space is reachable but we just have to figure out how and I think if man can land (well not man, but his space shuttles and stuff) can land on Mars, then surely, they would have already landed on the moon. It just feels like logic.
I still can\’t believe that you\’re name is such an amazing piece of scientific history!
This is a really good article and I just love the last quote that you\’ve used. EVEN though I wasn\’t born then, it still is so iconic!
