MOON LANDING

Did NASA fake the moon landing is a question many of us want to know. It is among the most and by the far the most popular asked conspiracy question- besides 9/11.

After World War II came to a close in the mid-20th century, a new conflict arose known as the Cold War. A battle was launched between the world's two most competitive and feared powers- The United States and the Soviet Union. Arising in the late 1950s, space became another target for this competitive race known throughout the world. Each team- U.S. vs. Soviet Union, were head to head to gain their dominance in the raging era for technology.

The conspiracy theory riled up because NASA was in a race with not only the Soviet Union but also China and India. The conspiracy theorists believed the U.S. needed to secure its world leadership during the Cold War by pretending to pull off what seems to be a nearly impossible stunt.

The three men that landed on the moon are:

Neil Armstrong
Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin
Michael Collins

The moon landing was said to taken place on the Apollo 11, launching on. July 16, 1969, and landing on July 20, 1969.There are quite a few reasons why the conspiracy theorists don't believed we made it to the moon on those dates, or at least for a while. Here they are listed.

The camera cross marks
The waving flag
Multiple light sources
The Van Allen Radiation Belt

The "camera cross marks" is one good fight the conspiracy theorists strive to explain. It is seen using an old camera fitted was a Reseau plate, "The Hasselblad lunar surface data camera". The Reseau plate is made out of glass and was propped on the rear side of the camera body, extremely close to the film plane. It is seen in the photo to the left, a hair like cross mark behind in the image. These mark are used in help with framing the image as desired and are meant to be on top of the image not behind. Is it photo-shopped?

There are many more explanations to this hoax as stated above. The only question is, are you convinced enough?
