If NASA want to disprove the Moon landing conspiracy theorists, why don't they:

1. Go again; or
2. Just "drop in" on one of the Space Shuttle flights; or
3. Point a spy, sorry, observational, satellite towards the Moon and film all the bits that were left there - the flag, the bottom of the Lunar Module, the moon buggy, etc.
4. Let the Science Museum in London have a teeny weeny piece of Moon rock.

I shouldn't think they could care less about conspiracy theorists. They can't go again because it's too risky and expensive (they only went the first time to beat the Russians). There are bits of moon rock around, if not in London.
They put a huge big mirror up there so people on Earth could fire a laser beam at it, to see how long it takes, for certain calculations etc.

It works, has been used by many scientists.

The conspiracy theories are a load of rubbish with regard to the Moon, and NASA doesn't care at all.

Although probably not as risky now as it was 39 years ago, when the on-board computers apparently had less computing power than a modern wristwatch. Now THAT was risky! Like setting off to the Moon with a map and a compass.

BTW, in space, does a compass needle point back towards the Earth?
In space a compass will naturally point to the North star.
In space, as anywhere else, a compass needle will orient itself to the strongest magnetic field around hence the need to keep boat compasses away from big bits of iron. A magnetic compass would be next to useless in a spacecraft.
A compass in space would NOT point to the North Star.
1: they are planning to do that on the way to Mars.

2: space shuttles dont go anywhere near the moon

3: I did read somewhere that even with the best satellites they are two small to see and spy satellites look at the Earth not the moon.

4: im sure I saw some moon rock last time I was in the science museum.
If they want to go again I would like to volunteer for this task. In fact I would be "over the Moon".
I would love to go too, it would be brill to be the first person to step on the moon ;) ;) :D lol
People must have gone to the Moon otherwise they wouldn't have been able to film the Clangers!
ah so true squarebear :D

Be fair to NASA. They have put forward some compelling arguments to back up their Moon landing record. Their best arguments are:

1. Go away.
2. We don't want to discuss it.
3. We have no time for this debate.
4. Lots of people still believe us, therefore it is true.
5. We DID fly to the Moon. Louder! We DID !!!!!!
6. The Government never ever ever misleads people.
7. NOW go away.
ha diddle diddle NASA on the fiddle the cow blowup on the launch pad
No, their best arguments are to point the scientifically-challenged at the websites that comprehensively debunk the feeble cr@pola consipiracy theories the woo woos come up with.

I've never heard a single theory that can't be debunked in under five minutes.
The Moon landing "conspiracy" theories are a load of CRAP. Give me one valid evidence.
The chances of going to the moon were 50-50 when Neil Amstrong went to the moon. Actually we have better chances with going to mars at present.. What NASA lacks is the inspiration and the capital.
Plus latest research has found out the dangerous long term effects of the cosmic rays on the body of astronauts especially the young ones.
What NASA lacks is the money. What America lacks is the rationale.

Discovering America was done by hard-headed business people who thought they would make a fortune by getting a monopoly on the "quick" route to China. Business can now see a way of making money out of sub-orbital spaceflight. Until it can see a way of making more money out of orbital flight or trips to Australia, that's as far as it's going to go.

If we ever run out of something absolutely fundamental and can imagine we can source it cost-effectively from space there may be an argument for going further. Until then the scientific argument for manned spaceflight is never going to justify the cost. Most scientists would far rather the money spent in launching people be spent on launching bigger, better, more capable, unmanned spacecraft more frequently.

As for Mars being a better risk. NASA is having to go back to Apollo-era hardware to find out how they overcame certain problems, because institutionally NASA has forgotten how. The round trip to Mars is a year plus, minimum, so any cosmic ray effects are going to be much greater on that flight than on the moon missions. No one has yet demonstrated a closed-cycle ecosystem that would allow such a spaceflight to take place. Even the long-duration science lab experiments on Mir and the ISS were undertaken by people who knew that if push came to shove they could be back home in a few hours. Psychologically, no one has ever overcome the degree of isolation to which a Mars crew would be exposed.
I believe Americans did land on the moon. Because it is very easy for them and the reasons to believe that are,

1 They have superman which flies and can save The World from any possible disaster.

2 They have Spiderman too.

3 Then they have Rambo who can tackle whole army so they are not afraid of the aliens on the moon.

4 Then they have Hollywood to accomplish all of the plans.

5 Last but not least they have George Bush and someone only have to mention There is Oil on the moon and you see what happens.

Even if that does not work, then just put Just say that we saw Osama Bin Laden on the moon, and you know what�������������George Bush will speed towards his safe house to check if he is still there.
1. Even if they did go again the conspiracy morons would claim that too was a conspracy and some how faked.
2. Just asking this demonstrates ignorance beyond believe, in orbit with the shuttle it's only another 198500 miles to go, yeah just drop in, right oh.
3. the largest object even the hubble can see is 82metres much bigger than any debris left.
4. there is approx 600 kg of moon rock in all over the world. Many institutions have examined moon rock none have doubted it's origin. In fact there was a documentary on a couple of years ago asking the question of how you would go about faking it, the conclusion was that it is easier to go to the moon and get some.

Now try and think for yourself instead of buying in to this horsesh1t. See here:

Watch the 1978 movie "Capricorn One"
oh and have a look at 7) here:

Mary, why would watching portayal of a conspiracy strengthen the case?

I just dispair at the determination to believe this conspiracy cobblers in the face of comprehensive debunking of any of these claims. Do you "believers" of this crapola (thx Waldo) just ignore all the attempted reason in the face of your evident insanity?
