THREE 100% POSITIVE PROOFS that the Apollo missions actually landed on the moon.
However, there are THREE 100% POSITIVE PROOFS that the Apollo missions actually landed on the moon.
In order to be 100% positive proof, the evidence needs to COME FROM an INDEPENDENT SOURCE, such as China, Japan, Or Russia, or it need to be able to be VERIFIED AS TRUE by an INDEPENDENT SOURCE.
The following proof meets that criteria:
1. The surface of the moon is currently being 3D mapped by satellites, and the surface mapping data exactly matches the photos the astronauts took.
The moon-hoax people say that the landings were faked on a sound stage and the backgrounds were painted by a Hollywood special effects artist.
The problem with that theory is that the artist would not have been able to paint the exact shape of the hills and valleys at the lunar sites, because that information was unknown.
The technology for gathering three dimensional relief mapping of the lunar surface did not exist in 1969. So the artist’s rendering would have had to come from his own imagination.
However, if you feed the new satellite mapping data into a 3D rendering program, the resulting surface EXACTLY MATCHES the Apollo pictures.
See the surface contours in this photo, the hills and craters? The 3D data being gathered by LRO satellites exactly matches these contours.
For example:
In 2008, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) SELENE lunar probe obtained several photographs of the Apollo 15 EVA site at station 9A near Hadley Rille.
This photo of the lunar surface was taken on the lunar surface by the Apollo 15 astronauts on August 2, 1971 during EVA 3 at station 9A near Hadley Rille:
This is a 3D computer reconstruction from 3D data stereo images taken by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) SELENE terrain camera and 3D projected to the same vantage point as the surface photos. The background terrain is an exact match with the Apollo photograph (within the SELENE camera resolution of 10 metres).
Here are the images side-by-side:
THIS IS 100% POSITIVE INDEPENDENT EVIDENCE THAT WE LANDED ON THE MOON, AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FAKE.
2. The dirt flying off of the lunar rover wheels flies in a pattern that can only be done on the moon.
In films of the lunar landings, the lunar soil flies off of the buggy wheels in a trajectory that can only happen in a vacuum and at 1/6 G gravity.
On earth, the dust will be swirled into a vortex dust cloud by the air passing over the rover and will settle back to the earth at much different speed due to the air resistance and the fact that earth gravity is 6 times as high as the moon.
Any physicist in any university on earth can take the Apollo films and measure the trajectory of the lunar soil spraying from the wheels and back-calculate to show that it’s in a vacuum, and the gravity force on the dust is the moon gravity of 1/6 G. This calculation has already been done many times.
THIS EVIDENCE THAT WE LANDED ON THE MOON IS EASILY VERIFIED BY THE WORLD SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY AND IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FAKE.
3. We have thousands of lunar rocks which have been loaned out to scientists all over the world.
These lunar rocks have internal structure that can only be formed on the moon, in an environment with extremely low moisture, low gravity and no atmosphere to screen out radiation called “solar wind.”
There is virtually no doubt among the world scientific community that the Apollo lunar samples are genuine moon rock.
Since they can’t say the rock samples are fake, the moon-hoax people instead say that the moon rock samples are actually lunar meteorites collected on earth in the deserts of Africa and in Antarctica.
It’s true that lunar rock has been blasted off the surface of the moon by meteorite impacts and eventually fallen to earth as lunar meteorites.
However, these lunar meteorites are INCREDIBLY RARE and HARD TO FIND. The lunar meteorites are scattered far and wide and difficult to spot, as they look similar to earth rock. In all of recorded history only 306 lunar rocks have been found on earth. They are incredibly valuable, even a few small rock chips have sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
But in the period of 1969 to 1972, NASA showed up with a miraculous supply of 2,200 lunar rocks, which the astronauts bought back from the moon.
It took hundreds of years to find 306 lunar rocks on earth, but the conspiracy theorists would have you believe that NASA sent out some government employees with Easter baskets to the African desert and in a few years they found SEVEN TIMES that amount.
“OK, men, NASA wants us to go to the Antarctica and find a few thousand lunar meteorites worth several billion dollars. Should take a few days at the most. Also, don’t tell anyone. The moon landing hoax is a total secret, only a few thousand aerospace contractors and scientists know about it. And our mortal enemies, the Russians. And now you.”
Still not convinced?
Well, lunar meteorites on earth are different from the Apollo samples taken by the astronauts. The lunar meteorites have a discoloration on the outside called “fusion crust” that forms when the meteor hits the earth’s atmosphere and gets baked at 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit by the friction. And a lot of the mass of the rock is burned away, including all the sharp edges. And the rock is then weathered by earth rain and wind for thousands of years.
So any competent geologist can immediately tell the difference between the Apollo lunar samples and lunar meteorites, they are completely different in appearance and other properties.
In addition, many of the Apollo lunar samples are SOIL samples, which cannot enter the earth’s atmosphere without being burned up completely.
At any given time, NASA has about 400 moon rocks out on loan to the world scientific community.
THIS EVIDENCE THAT WE LANDED ON THE MOON IS EASILY VERIFIED BY THE WORLD SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY AND IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FAKE.
In case you’re curious as to how the moon rock samples were collected, here’s a film of an Apollo astronaut Charlie Duke picking up the largest moon rock bought back by the Apollo program (nicknamed “Big Muley.”)
Big Muley is a football sized, 26 pound lump of moon breccia rock that was gathered at the edge of Plum Crater in the Descartes Highlands by astronaut Charlie Duke during the Apollo 16 EVA.
As I mentioned above, all that is needed to completely refute the entire moon-hoax-conspiracy theory is to show ONE SINGLE irrefutable piece of evidence that we DID go to the moon.
Not only is the above evidence 100% verifiable and irrefutable, it has already been verified by third-party scientists from outside the USA.
There is also a vast amount of “softer” proof that we went to the moon.
By “softer,” I mean stuff that any reasonable person would accept as evidence but is not 100% irrefutable proof.
For example -
We actually built the rocket and all the assorted hardware needed to go to the moon.
400,000 people worked 10 years to make a $100 Billion dollar rocket system and equipment to go to the moon.
It was all meticulously tested on earth and in space and shown to work. The rockets worked, the spacesuits worked, the onboard computers worked, the communication system worked, the launch complex worked.
They had to invent hundreds of new materials and devices and those things spawned thousands of new consumer products.
The hardware itself is on public display and the engineers who build it can explain how all of it was developed and how it works.
100,000 people stood a few miles away from the launch site in Florida and watched the 5 million pound Saturn V booster take off and disappear into the sky.
It would be kind of pointless to build a rocket and lander capable of going to the moon and then not use it.
The moon hoax people say we didn’t use it because the Van Allen belt radiation would have killed the astronauts.
If that’s true, why undertake the monumental expense and effort to build the rockets and equipment?
Why not just say it’s impossible and save the $100 Billion dollars?
The moon hoax people say it was so we could say that we beat the Russians to the moon.
So why not just explain that the Van Allen belts would kill the astronauts and pick some other feat to beat the Russians at?
See where this is going?
The moon hoax people say that we build a 100% working lunar exploration program, that required a monumental investment in time and money, even though it was impossible for anyone to succeed at it, including the Russians.
It’s an absurd idea.
The above is irrelevant anyway because the moon hoax theory claim about the Van Allen belts being deadly is false.
"The recent Fox TV show, which I saw, is an ingenious and entertaining assemblage of nonsense. The claim that radiation exposure during the Apollo missions would have been fatal to the astronauts is only one example of such nonsense."
-- Dr. James Van Allen
The moon hoax guys are literally arguing with the physicist James Van Allen, who the Van Allen belts are named for. How absurd is that?
Of course we can’t forget JFK’s famous speech of May 25, 1961:
“I challenge 400,000 of my fellow Americans to spend 10 years working on an astoundingly well engineered $100 billion dollar lunar exploration program. And then fake the landing on a Hollywood sound stage. Why? I dunno. To fool the public for some reason. Whatever. Who cares. Let’s just build all the equipment and train all the personnel to go to the moon and then not go.”
There was no valid reason to NOT use the rocket to go to the moon.
And if there had been a valid reason, then we would have just said so and not built the thing, it cost $100 billion dollars.
Also, consider how flimsy the moon-hoax “evidence” always is.
The moon hoax conspiracy “evidence” is never scientific, it’s ALWAYS eventually refuted by the international science community.
The original moon hoax denier was a technical writer for a defense contractor. He lives a trailer with 37 cats and thinks that the CIA is out to kill him.
That’s the kind of credentials that the moon hoax people typically have.
“My cat Fluffy says that Neil Armstrong was a clone and the original Neil Armstrong is frozen in cryo-stasis. Along with Hitler.”
Every time these moon hoax guys come up with a new piece of “evidence”, a scientist comes along and debunks it.
Every time.
For example, the moon hoax people said that the shadow side of the lunar lander was lit up too bright in the photos, it should be darker shadow.
So some computer experts did an incredibly sophisticated computer simulation to show that the moon hoax guys were dead wrong:
Oh well, another bit of moon hoax “evidence” gets deflated by actual experts. Cue sad trombone music.
One by one, all the moon hoax theories are shot down in this way.
Most of the moon hoax conspiracy “evidence” is just speculation and accusation.
The moon hoax guys pointed out that the Apollo astronauts looked glum and exhausted after they returned to earth, and stated that this was evidence that they were lying.
As if the astronauts couldn’t possibly be suffering from nervous and physical exhaustion after a 10 day semi-suicide mission in a space ship the size of a compact car.
It’s silly.
This is the kind of empty speculation and accusation that the moon hoax guys think of as valid evidence.
When it’s pointed out to the moon hoax people that the Russians tracked the Apollo crew all the way to the moon, which counts as third-party verification that the landing was real, the moon-hoax people say “The Russians were in on the conspiracy.”
Why on earth would the Russians help us to utterly humiliate them before the whole world, during the height of the cold war?
The moon hoax people say it’s because the Russians “needed US wheat to survive.”
We blackmailed the USSR with wheat!
“Natasha, eat the Frosted Mini Wheats given to us by the American imperialist dogs and their capitalist lackeys. We lost the war for global domination but we gained a tasty way to start our day off right with a nutritious breakfast.”
Scientifically, the moon hoax conspiracy ranks right up there with Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster.
Actually, that’s not true. The people who believe in Bigfoot have more intellectual standing than the moon hoax people.
To be on par with moon hoax guys, the Bigfoot people would have to claim that the US government used 400,000 defense contractor employees and spent $100 billion to build Bigfoot a rocket with 7.5 million pounds of thrust as part of a hoax, and thousands of scientists and engineers knew about it and covered it up.
THEN the Bigfoot people would be as absurd as the moon hoax people.
So why won’t the moon hoax people shut up and go look for Bigfoot instead?
Because it’s very fun and emotionally satisfying to have a conspiracy theory.
The love of conspiracy theories is hard-wired into our brain structure.
And it’s fun and interesting and it makes people feel superior.
Ever notice the smug attitude of conspiracy theorists? Being a conspiracy theorist is a huge source of self-worth to them. They see themselves as amazingly clever and superior to the average citizen.
“Oh, you simple minded fools have been duped into believing an obvious lie. If only you had my amazing powers of intellect you would be able to see right through it.”
SUMMARY -
I strongly urge you to examine all the moon landing conspiracy theory “evidence” and the debunking of the “evidence” by the international scientific community.
See for yourself how completely absurd and bogus that the moon landing hoax conspiracy theory is.
But keep in the back of your mind the three irrefutable proofs that we did land on the moon, which completely invalidate the entire conspiracy theory.
