Man on the Moon...?

Did we land a Man on the Moon July 20th 1969

Well as long as we're looking at satellite images, I found a crop circle on google maps.

Once again, sorry for an off topic post.

When you see pictures of the astronauts is space how come you don't see stars in the background.

And this, from Bad Astronomy, which (as mentioned earlier) is completely awesome:

Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy: Bad TV
 
I'm shocked to see one-in-ten in this poll think it was a hoax. I had assumed most on this forum were college educated, but maybe 10% weren't?

I agree. I'll admit that I have some tin-foil-hatish tendencies but this one is so far out there it's not even on my radar .:biglaugh::wideeyed::jimlad:
 
Philippe Lheureux, in Lumières sur la Lune (Lights on the Moon), said that astronauts did land on the Moon, but that, in order to prevent other nations from benefiting from scientific information in the real photos, NASA published fake images.
 
The idea that the entire human landing program was completely falsified from start to finish. Some claim that the technology to send men to the Moon was insufficient or that the Van Allen radiation belts, solar flares, solar wind, coronal mass ejections, and cosmic rays made such a trip impossible.

Those are actually valid concerns, and many of those are what's preventing deeper space travel, such as a Mars mission right now. The astronauts certainly could have experienced these things, and they were lucky they didn't.
 
How come you don't see the hole that the boosters made on the moon when they were returning home but, you can see Neil Armstrong's foot prints.
 
Cycofan1, you really need to find a way to discern between science and pseudoscience.

As someone said...go to BadAstronomy. Stay there awhile. That guy is an actual, bona fide astronomer...pay attention to him.

Really, this is what the internet age produces? /sigh

If you're that into pulling crap out of the dregs of the internet, I suggest you go to BadAstronomy as it has answers to nearly all of the questions you have. Well, except for that middle quote...that's just "Gold Jerry, Gold!"

Duh ... he's in on the secret, and on the payroll no doubt.

You'd be surprised how little air moves when there isn't any air to move. Where as a footprint, even though lighter on the moon than on earth, is still physical contact that would leave an imprint. A lot of what we experience on earth is the air being moved around us. It's the changes in air pressure that move a lot of debris. No air=very localized disturbance. Just like dust, without any air to hold the dust, it immediately falls back to the ground. It doesn't get lifted up and tossed out by the air since there isn't any.

Also, with the reduced gravity, they didn't have to use much thrust to leave the moon.

You don't see stars probably because the camera focused because there was so much light. It focused to the people and the flag rather than the dimmer stars and blackness in the background.
