All You Wished to Know About the Moon Landing Conspiracy

The controversy started when Bill Kaysing published a book called, "We Never Went to the Moon: America's Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle" in 1974. Earlier, the effect of mass media made people to believe that they actually landed on the Moon. However, the airing of "Conspiracy Theory" on Fox TV changed many minds about this fact.

Some of the possible reasons for the US Government to fake the Moon landings are as follows as:

✶ The Cold War between the US Government and the Soviet Union was on its peak. The Soviets had an upper hand, as they sent the first man and the first woman, Yuri Gagarin and Valentina Tereshkova respectively, into space.

The first walk, artificial satellite Sputnik, all were by the Soviets. Under pressure, Americans would have thought faking their trip to the moon as it would be less risky and obviously less expensive than an actual trip.

✶ NASA raised USD 30 billion for this mission, which could have been used to pay people who were involved in faking it.

✶ There were complications in the space program, and a false mission was the only choice, with the main concern being the promise the American president, Mr. John F. Kennedy, of "achieving the goal (Lunar landing) before this decade is out."

There are few evidences, which clearly prove that the Moon mission was a complete hoax. Evidences include photographs taken by the astronauts, when they landed on the Moon. The photographs show various anomalies. Some data and blueprint were found to be missing too.

• The cross hair, which should have been in front of the object, were behind the object. In few of the photographs, they were either misplaced or rotated.
• The Apollo 11 telemetry tapes made during the mission are missing, but the tapes of Apollo 12, 14,15, 16, and 17 are surprisingly intact. Not only the telemetry tapes, but even the blueprint is missing.

• No stars are present in the photographs.
• The photographs contain various sources of light, which are evident from the multiple shadows of the rocks; however, in reality, the only source of light on the Moon is sunlight.
• The American Flag and the words "United States" are clearly visible, even though everything else is in shadows.

• There were various photographs, which NASA claimed were taken miles apart, but had identical backgrounds.
• The Lander weighed 17 tons and boosters were fired to slow down its descent, but still, there was no sign of a blast crater or dust underneath it.

• The video communication during the landing was instantaneous. The fact is that light energies of the electromagnetic spectrum and radio waves travel at approximately 186,000 miles per second. The time taken by the astronauts to respond to the questions by Mission Control must have been over 2 seconds, since the Moon is around 250,000 miles away.

The controversy does not end here. There were deaths of many astronauts and people related to NASA, a few years before the launch of Apollo 11, which are believed to have been possibly killed as a part of cover-up. Some of those people were Virgil Ivan Grissom, Michael J. Adams, Robert Lawrence, Thomas Baron, etc.

Thomas Baron was a NASA worker. He was fired from NASA, after he made accusations about the cause of the Apollo 1 fire. He was an outspoken critic of the Apollo program. Baron and his family were killed in an automobile collision with train.

If related aspects are studied properly, many more loopholes can be found in the fake video that NASA made to boast of their forged success. This is believed to be the result of greed and ambition of America to become a global superpower, surpassing the Soviet Union in a giant leap. However, nothing can be said about the truth.
