In 1969, Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the Moon. Or was it???? For the first time it is now possible to present convincing evidence that the Apollo 11 moon landing on July 20, 1969 was a hoax. There is a lot of evidence to support this thesis... Several questions have been raised regarding the Moon footage, and the physical and technical impossibilities surrounding the fake Moon landing are substantial enough to prove it false. Not only that, the political situation between the United States and the Soviet Union was tense. Say no to plagiarism. Get a tailor-made essay on "Why Violent Video Games Shouldn't Be Banned"?

The moon only has one light source which is the sun, the shadows on the images should be parallel, however the shadows are not parallel and therefore the images are false. The non-parallel shadows probably came from the different light sources around the filming set. These light sources would explain why there are no deep, false shadows in any of the images. Shadows should be pitch black because there is no air on the moon to disperse the light; however, objects in shadow appear exceptionally sharp. The Apollo 11 crew members were not expert photographers, yet all the photographs we see are perfectly aligned and centered. This would be difficult even for a professional photographer considering the cameras were mounted on the chest of the space suit. This evidence alone is enough to confirm that it was a big hoax. When the rocket left the Moon to return the astronauts to orbit, there was no flame from the rocket. Of course, each rocket has a visible flame, which shows that the takeoff was simulated. Some more recent evidence concerns radiation found in the Van Allen belts surrounding the earth. All passengers on a primitive spacecraft like Apollo 11 would have been subjected to deadly radiation as soon as they left the safety of Earth orbit into unknown dangers of space radiation. Besides the fact that the Lander was so primitive and crudely constructed, it would not only have died from radiation, but would have been unable to balance itself to land on the moon. Astronauts moving around the cabin would have moved the center of mass, which in turn would have unbalanced it. The situation with the United States and the Soviet Union was tense. The Soviets had a five-to-one advantage over the United States in hours spent in space. They were the first to send an artificial satellite into earth orbit, the first to send a man into space, the first man to orbit the earth, they had the first woman in space, the first space walk. Pressure from the Cold War with the Soviets forced NASA to simulate the Moon landing. Werhner Von Braun was a NAZI brought to the United States after the war to help NASA build rockets. He was NASA's chief rocket scientist (and former Nazi SS officer). He was involved in faking the Moon landing to escape prosecution for his war crimes. After being informed of all this evidence you might wonder why they would fake a moon landing. We need to look carefully at this and ask ourselves who influenced this and who benefited most from it. A successful manned mission to the Moon provided a brilliant distraction that spurred the pride of American citizens nearly rioting over the 50,000 deaths in Vietnam. The risk was thought to be great or even insane,.
