look at how unsuccessful NASA is right now. Look at all the mistakes they make now. They can't seem to get anything right.
I have my doubts that in the 60s they had it more together and were walking around on the moon.
well, the same shuttles they're using now were new in the 60s...
(might explain why they were so successful in the past and now, stangely enough, are not.)
Yeah but look at all the money we've poured into it. They couldn't fix or improve anything with the billions of dollars going to that (worthless, in my opinion) program?

hey, i hear ya. it's been a colossal waste. i'm just saying that if NASA were to ever have tasted success it would've been 35 years ago when their stuff was new.
is your name doogie? like doogie howser?
The Apollo program had its failures just like any other.
In 1967, Apollo 1 burned up on the launchpad killing all three astronauts. (Surely I'm not the only old fart here that remembers this.) Apollo 13 almost didn't come home because an oxygen tank ruptured 56 hours into the mission.
And no, the Russians never did walk on the moon. . The Russian program had fallen way behind the American by the late 60's and they never developed a reliable lauch vehicle for a lunar mission.
No Russians walked on the Moon.
Tell Buzz Aldrin he didn't and that old man will punch your lights out.
The dearth of education out there is astonishing.
The Russians were first in everything but actually landing a man on the moon. First satellite, first man, first woman, first shot around the moon, first probe on the moon, first space station, etc.
The Russians never actually landed men on the moon but they were the first to get there, they were the first to send a probe around the back side of it and get the first photos of the backside, and they did land modules that took samples.
The assertion that they never had a rocket powerful enough is not true. Their Energia rockets were plenty powerful and rivaled the Saturn V and after all if they could get a there with a satellite or probe then they could also get a manned-module on it if they wanted to. The fact is that after the Americans landed men on the moon first there wasn't any practical reason to come in second so instead they started focusing their attention on research and military applications for their technology. The Russians have spent more time in space than any other country and have data about living in space that was the envy of the world and which they have now graciously shared with the US and other friends.
Oh, and I might add that the Russian Space Program has another enviable first the First Space Tourist, that is a civilian who paid money just for the trip and even today are the only ones that offer such a service.
Don't knock the Russkies they have good Vodka and HOT women.

One may even argue that though the Americans were first on the Moon,it was largely thanks to (obviously)improved upon Nazi technology, that really provided the means to get there.
Interesting. What has led you personally to believe that no one has been to the moon? Please don't just cut and paste from web sites (though provide links if you like), just tell me in your own words why you think no one's been there. If you want to, of course. I'm just curious.
What led me to believe it? I guess cheap late night television. Maybe they did land. What sold it for me was the deaths of people who would've known about the hoax.
Quoted from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_moon_landing_hoax_accusations
Paul Jacobs , a private investigator from San Francisco, interviewed the head of the US Department of Geology in Washington about the 'moon rocks'. Did you examine the Moon rocks, did they really come from the Moon.? Jacobs asked - the geologist did not respond, only laughed. Paul Jacobs and his wife died from cancer within 90 days.

Death from cancer usually occurs after a person has gradually become weaker and more tired over several weeks or months.
Lol. And his wife? I don't know alot about cancer, but surely 90 days away from death, you're hardly going to feel like travelling all the way from San Francisco to Washington and interviewing the head of the US Department of Geology, while trying to uncover a hoax. Personally, I think the guy would be feeling pretty crappy... OK, perhaps that has nothing to do with whether the moon landings were faked or not, I just went off on a tangent, but surely something's up there, even if it's unrelated, there is no way in hell both that man and his wife died of cancer within a few days of each other. I could go on and cite everything I can think of, but I won't because people that have made up their mind won't change it. And neither will I.
kristyann: His name is "doogie" like "doobie." Which, it's a funny story, actually explains the misspelling .
