Recently, I was able to catch an interesting documentary on Star World entitled Conspiracy Theory: Did We Really Land on the Moon? This show presented evidence that NASA's lunar explorations in the 70's were hoaxes, and that man did not really land on the moon. At first, I thought that this was just the work of a dillusional person wanting to throw of NASA's credibility, but the more I watched, the more sense it made. Let us take a look at some of the evidence presented...
1. Still shots of the lunar explorations showed signs of artificial lighting when closely examined. Since supposedly, the sun was the only source of light on the moon, it was very strange that shadows were cast in different angles and directions. If only one light source was present, the direction of the shadows should all have been parallel and should never intersect. Also, photos of astronauts were very clear down to the details of their space suits, even though they were shot against the light. This was a very clear sign of artificial lighting being used.
2. During the lunar explorations, specially designed cameras were mounted on the astonauts' chests to take still photographs of the moon. The person who designed this camera programmed it to show crosshairs on top of the photos for reference. Most of the images released by NASA to the public showed figures of astronauts or the lunar rover covering parts of the crosshairs. This, according to the investigators were clear signs of technical manipulation of the pictures.
3. Videos and photos taken during the lunar explorations from supposedly different days and different points of the moon showed the exact same backdrop when superimposed on each other.
4. There is no air on the moon because it's atmosphere is one big vacuum. This is the reason why it was odd that there was footage of the American flag waving on the moon.
It was said that the US staged all this in order to win the space race over Russia, who succeeded in launching Sputnik, the first sattelite, into outer space. Since according to the skeptics who formulated this hoax theory, travelling to the moon was impossible (after all, we are talking about technology in the 1970's), NASA decided to fake it.
When presented with the evidence, NASA just shrugged them off, saying that there were explanations for all of them, but did not bother to go into detail.
If this is all true, and NASA did indeed fake all the moon landings, there is no saying what else could have been faked from history... I was somewhat disturbed by the possibility. I can somewhat understand why pride is so important to the US, but this may be a little too far. Hmmm...
