I'm not casting a vote either way, but i will say this: throughout history phenomenal amounts of resources have been invested to create illusions and produce PR materials for political and other gains. the amount of resources invested to go to the moon easily eclipses the amount of money required to fake it.
my only real big question about the whole thing is this: if we could manage to pull it off then, why hasn't it happened since. we can't even effectively maintain a space station in earth orbit. look how far technology has advanced..... just seems a little odd.

A word to the wise: anything shown on Fox is designed to pander to the lowest common denominator among us. If it appeals to our basest nature, Fox will show it. I love reading Moon Hoax websites because so much of their "evidence" is so ridiculous it's funny. Apply a little logic and their "proof" turns to vapor. The site Mendii posted is a good one for revealing that. The only things that ever bothered me were the contentions about the radiation belt(b/c I don't know anything about it) and the absence of a crater beneath the lander (b/c I do). the badastronomy site has a pretty good explanation though.
And nexus, the vast resources it takes to go to the moon is probably reason enough we haven't been back. Another could be: what's the point? We have samples of the rocks, soil, etc. We can observe it remotely quite easily, so why go back? And still another: maybe we don't have the ability. The Saturn V's are all gone. The space shuttle sure can't land on the moon. It doesn't have a lander-type vehicle designed to go with it. For that matter, it may not have the fuel/provisions capability (I have no idea on this one). Maybe it's just not worth the massive investment in time and money it would take to design a whole new system capable of traveling to and landing on the moon.
And gomarlins3, the moon is, on average, 239000 miles from earth. Light travels at ~186000 miles per second. So you're looking at less than 1.5 seconds of delay in communication...easily compensated for.

haha you guys crack me up...
some jerkoff i hired was trying to tell me we never landed on the moon... i didnt even argue i just said "ya ya sure, get the
out of my office"
people with that mentality are not even worth arguing with..
aluminized mylar also resists low radiation... along with 12 other advanced materials used in the spacesuit.. i mean.. there are radiation suits right? you dont have to walk around in a concrete suit do you?...and it baffles me how you get these people who think they can outsmart an entire team of engineers and scientists...they schedule moon walks and space repairs etc at times of low radiation so they are not caught in a solar flair or any other high radiation occurance..
they can move the spacesuits because they are equipt with special joints to make movement easier.
the flag flutters because it was suspended with firm metal cables...
there were such things as tripods back then
and how do you explain all the photos of earth from the moon? and from space? perhaps those were photoshopped? oh thats right they didnt have photoshop then.... its just nuts....

no. they used crayolashop back then.
to hell with space exploration. it's time to start putting more nuclear waste in space. in fact, i vote that we use the moon as a giant trash can. just shoot fat rocket loads full of waste at it. that would be cool. i'm tired of watching the ruination of the earth, lets move on to the ruination of another celestial body.

oh and dont forget that the launch of trip of all these nasa missions are not just monitor by americans.. they are tracked by a multitude of other countries... including the russians who we were allegedly trying to fool...
