First- I definitely believe we landed on the moon. But is there any real evidence? Pictures, rocks, and huge, expensive shuttles aren't conclusive evidence, are they?

Go to badastronomy.com. Also- Google is your friend.

I don't think it's worth discussing this stuff here.

Yes they are. You can see and hold the lunar soil samples that were returned. That is tangible physical evidence that we went there. You can watch the video that was taken while people were on the moon. You can even go back to the moon and find the hardware that we left there in the 60's and 70's. You can watch the interviews from people who went there.

Denying the moon landings is a bit like denying that WW2 took place.

Welcome to PF.

I hate to be rude to a new member, but what would you consider "real evidence?" That's a rhetorical question. I, for example, consider video taken on the surface of the moon and rocks brought back from it to be "real evidence". Saying that these things aren't (and coming here and asking the question), to me, implies a lack of critical thinkinging and a willingness to believe the conspiracy theories. Please, please re-evaluate your critical thinking process. You don't want to fall into that way of thinking. It is self-destructive.

Anyway, we don't entertain conspiracy theories here. And this one is a pretty dumb one.
 

1. Was the moon landing faked?

No, the moon landing was not faked. There is overwhelming evidence from multiple sources, including photographs, videos, and physical samples brought back from the moon, that prove the moon landing did indeed occur.

2. Why do some people believe the moon landing was faked?

There are a variety of reasons why some people believe the moon landing was faked. Some believe that the technology at the time was not advanced enough to reach the moon, while others point to perceived inconsistencies in the footage and photographs from the mission.

3. What is the main evidence that supports the moon landing conspiracy theories?

The main evidence cited by those who believe in the moon landing conspiracy theories is the perceived discrepancies in the footage and photographs from the mission. Some also point to the fact that no human has been back to the moon since 1972 as proof that the original landing was faked.

4. How have scientists debunked the moon landing conspiracy theories?

Scientists have debunked the moon landing conspiracy theories by providing clear evidence that the mission did indeed occur. This includes analyzing the footage and photographs in detail and explaining the perceived discrepancies, as well as providing scientific explanations for how the technology at the time was able to reach the moon.

5. Why is it important to debunk the moon landing conspiracy theories?

It is important to debunk the moon landing conspiracy theories because they spread misinformation and discredit the incredible achievements of the Apollo 11 mission and the hard work and dedication of the scientists and astronauts involved. It is also important to promote critical thinking and evidence-based reasoning in the face of conspiracy theories and misinformation.
