How The American Astronauts Have Gone To The Moon

Improved Essays
The moon had a history of being the most explored place in the world for a long time. Countries like the U.S and Russia had a long, huge interest of exploring this fascinating place. I believe that the moon has some mysteries yet to be solved. “Houston, the Eagle has landed” is a quote from Neil Armstrong. Were the American moon landings successful or were they just a hoax in American history? For a long time, people have been wondering if American astronauts have ever gone to the moon. Many conspiracy theories have been indicated saying that they never went to the moon and proved that they didn't go for several reasons. I do believe that they went to the moon. I believe this statement because first of all, many satellites in space captured many of the lunar missions landing sites on the moon. Also many of the lunar flights were successful. Frequently, NASA reports new evidence, like pictures, of the moon landings. …show more content…
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first 2 astronauts to go the moon. This was a very big, historical event in American history. They took off on July 20,1969, by the space program, NASA. They landed in Tranquility Base, they were on the moon for 21 hours and walked on it for 2 hours. They both collected rocks and brought the U.S flag with them and planted it on the moon. They also performed an experiment which was the Lunar Ranging Retroreflector which basically measures the distance between Earth and the moon. Some people say that the moon landings are just conspiracy theories. Most people think that they never went to the moon. Many people say that the U.S was desperate to beat the Russians to be the first to land on the moon. Many think we faked the moon landings because of this

    One of the most remarkable feats of space exploration was the landing of a man on the Moon. On July 16, 1969, NASA launched its famous Saturn V rocket into orbit for a journey across the void of space to Earth’s only natural satellite. A little over a hundred hours after launch, it accomplished what many people considered impossible just a few years ago—a man from Earth walked on the lunar surface. The crew collected rock samples and performed numerous experiments, in the process greatly expanding the databases of knowledge on the Moon…

    The Space Race was a competition between the Soviet Union and the United States for the greatest achievements in space exploration. But on July 16, 1969, the US sent mission Apollo 11 into space, and they were the first to land and step foot on the moon. The US couldn't have faked this, but others argue otherwise. In my opinion, the US moon landing was completely real and would be hard to fake, and there are many deductions to prove so.…

    The year is 1961 and the U.S. is six years deep in a space race with the Soviet Union to show off to each other who has the best air and space capabilities. President Kennedy gives a speech saying that we will go to the moon “not because it is easy, but because it is hard” (Engle). Less than a decade later, on July 20th, 1969 at 20:17:40 UTC, the Apollo 13 mission put Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon (“Theories”). Ever since that day the people have doubted the fact that we ever put people on the moon. An opinion poll found six percent of American believed the U.S. did not go to the moon, with it jumping to 20% after Fox released the 2001 documentary: Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?…

    The Apollo 11 mission is credited for not only landing a man on the moon, but also for collecting the first samples from another planetary body (SNASM). Through the research, many theories were proven to either be true or false. Prior to the moon landing, scientists had many questions concerning the moon’s surface and even the possibility of life on the moon. Before the moon landing , the idea of life on the moon was widely accepted. Apollo 11, however proved that idea wrong.…

    Countries wanted to go to the moon because they could have more power if they had the advantage of going to the moon. Countries could use this advantage to maybe put a military base on the moon, or have a better shot of attacking their enemies. I believe that the moon landings were real. I believe that Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the moon, and leave…

    The area I am talking about is that we brought pieces of the moon back with us, rocks that would be nearly impossible to replicate here on earth and would actually be easier to gather by traveling to the moon and bringing them back with us. These rocks are laden with tiny holes from meteoroid impacts that are only possible on a planet with little to no atmosphere. Also, if examined, one would find isotopes that are the result of reactions with highly charged particles that could, again, only happen on a planet with little to no atmosphere. Another piece of evidence that implies a moon landing is the size of the team; at its peak, the size of the team that landed man on the moon was over 300,000. You would think after 45 years someone would have come forward with the supposed…

    It says a lot if so many people feel the first moon landing was fake. I have learned a lot about the moon landing just by the one source I found, sure it is only that one person 's thought but considering many others believe it also it really persuades you into looking into the Apollo mission, seeing the history behind it and how many the US government just wanted to set up this hoax to assert their victory in the space race over Russia since it 's such a popular thing. Though, Michael Rundle allowed me to see things that could steer my mind into believing that it was real. He goes into the depth and sciences that one would want to listen to if they were to look this conspiracy up. Michael’s statements have a lot of understanding to them, especially when he talks about the flag waving and how there aren 't any stars in the photograph, but Josh’s statements on the flag waving and lack of stars also has that understanding.…

    Since the particles that are currently present on Earth have been weathered over time they have lost their jaggedness and can only be compressed in moisture. Even in the absence of moisture the moon boots that the astronauts wore can leave a clean, distinct footprint in the lunar regolith. The photo of Buzz Aldrin departing the LM, the photo of the flag on the moon, the photo of the LM and rocks on the moon, and the photo of Aldrin’s footprint in the lunar regolith disprove the theory that the Apollo 11 moon landing was faked. The moon landing of 1969 was able to help push the…

    Why not? If the astronauts were trained in a fake moon environment, (which they were), they could have taken picture on a fake moon environment. The rocket could have been real, and went to space, but the astronauts could have slipped out a trap door, sent the rocket to space, and filmed in a studio, elsewhere. I believe that there is more genuine evidence that the moon landings were a hoax by the Americans, to win the space race and not to be embarrassed.…
