Moon Landing Research Paper

Decent Essays
In 1969 America sent 6 manned space missions to land on the moon. But some people think that these missions were really faked and were filmed in a studio. JFK was the president of America by that time. He started a race between US and Soviet Union based on which country would put a man on the moon first. And apparently US was losing the race.

From my perspective and from what I know I say that the moon landings were actually real. Also from what NASA and the government showed us it makes me think that it was real. Why would NASA want to fake something like that? And if it was fake how can they keep a big secret like that and for this long? These are some questions I can answer because these questions shouldn't be asked because the moon landings

People think that while they were training people were filming it so they could fake it. But people don't think too hard they could have been trained so that they would know how it would be when they actually went to the moon. Also so that they could know what to do when they were up there on the moon.

JFK promised that the US would put a man on the moon before the 1960’s. But the moon landings were in 1969. When he promised them and when they landed on the moon, people thought that US actually faked it so that they wouldn't be embarrassed that they lost against the Soviet Union. But NASA actually took their time on planning to go to the moon because the moon landings were on 1969 and JFK promised them that they were going to land on the moon before the 1960’s and it didn't happen because they took their time.

Around 400,000 people worked at NASA for 10 years. If the moon landings were faked, how could so many people kept a big secret like this? At least someone should have told someone, right? Than the big secret would have spread out all around the world. But this didn't happen, no one told a secret like this because the moon landings were actually real ,not

    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.

    I had always been fascinated by modern mysteries and conspiracy theories, but before this class, I had no clue what to accept and how to analyze the information that I was presented to me. I chose the topic of the Moon Landing, because it enabled me to take a second look at the conspiracy theory through a new lens of experience. To understand where this idea of a hoax originates, we need to understand what was going on before the Apollo 11 moon landing. Starting in the 1950s, America was in a cold war with Soviet Russia, which was less of a physical battle and more of a challenge of who had a better structured government. It was a challenge of superiority that eventually led to the space race in 1955.…

    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.…
