the thing that got me was that there was radiation or some shit between earth and the moon.
and the thin panels on the craft could not protect the astronauts. that's why the russians didnt do it.
anyway, i voted prolly not, but maybe. i give it the benefit of the doubt.
i heard that the jap's are sending an unmanned craft around the moon and it'll pass the place where the US craft landed.

if you do some research you will find out that there is only a given time when one can land on the moon. Yes, you are correct, there is a lot of radiation in space produced by the sun and pushed across along with the solar wind, which can easily kill someone who isn't protected. You are very right on this, but have you ever thought that maybe NASA thought of this and planned to land on the moon when there was minimal radiation on the moon.
Earth sucks up a lot of the radiation and solar wind with it's magnetic fields. There was a blackout in montreal not too long ago because of the solar wind or something similar. The reason why we get the northern/southern lights is because of the exact same thing. NASA would have been smart to use the earth to sheild the moon from this radiation. I would bet you all of the money i will ever make in my life that they took this into consideration, and if you do the math, the earth probably blocked a pretty damn hight percentage of that radiation.
I do know this however. Any person or thing that goes into space at any given time is subject to die of some type of radiation produced from the sun. The solar flairs that the sun produces are huge and sometimes sends a crazy huge amount of radiation or different types of deadly rays and particles towards us in the solar wind. If something were to skip off and come near any spacecraft it could do serious damage. That is simply a risk that these brave men have taken.
Actually... read this...

Also, like i said before, here is the best 'proof' that we landed on the moon in 69.
Watch the lunar space module thing (or whatever it's called... the little golf cart type motor vehicle thing) and tell me how they could have done something like that on earth. It's impossible for them to do something like that on earth. That should be proof enough.

Something can be unscientific or even science fiction (tho' science fiction can be based on science.)
I believe the Fox show was unscientific in it's claims.

perfect!
Even still though. 7.something % of the TFP believes that we did not land on the moon in 69, and this place seems like a place of knowledgable people who don't buy into bullshit. To me, this is a very surprising amount of people who are so gullable.
did you know that that word isn't in the dictionary?
you are so gullable!!!!
anyway... to all those who doubt the moon landing
BELIEVE IT OR YOU WILL DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH.. I WILL COME OVER AND SHOOT YOU IN THE HEAD WITH MY B-B GUN (since i am in canada, and i don't even know if that's what that gun is called, cause i don't even have one of those) UNTIL YOU DIE!!!!
