Conspiracy I: The Moon Landing

This, I think, will be my first giving to you, the reader, a short piece on a few popular conspiracies. In no way, at all, is any of the information presented in these (unless I state otherwise) something of my own doing. It’s all taken, and compiled, from various websites. I take no credit.

We’ve all been lead to believe that man first landed on the moon on July 20th, 1969. Now, although we may have that kind of technology in current times, was it really possible to do such a thing back then? Or was it completely fake? – A hoax meant only to prove the Russians wrong or to take America’s weary mind off of things.

There are obviously many inconsistencies that could easily lead one to believe that the moon landing (which conveniently occurred after the Russians had shown us that their experience in space was far better than ours) was completely fabricated.

For example, if the moon’s surface is covered in very fine, dust-like grains, with no gravity or moisture, how is it, at all, possible that the footprints of the astronauts were preserved? Or, how could the photographs of the flag reveal that the flag was waving in the wind when on the moon… there is no wind?

There seem to be undoubted faults in NASA’s trickery, but NASA continues to be stubborn about admitting their lies. Say, they retort to the question regarding the footprint with: the dust of the moon’s surface has a quality much like that of wet-sand’s, which sticks together and keeps shape. Or say that the flag wasn’t actually moving, it was just wrinkled and the astronauts were moving it for it to get into place – since there’s no air on the moon, it didn’t move from it’s rippled-position.

Yeah, right! These completely reasonable answers cannot possibly be true. How could a trip to the moon be possible if there was so much radiation?

How could the film in the photographs not be fogged up by the radiation? And, even then, how could the quality of the films be so high?

NASA again answers.

Most of the astronauts involved in high-radiation trips actually developed cataracts related to such radiation. (Likely story.) The film was actually kept in protective, metal containers – which explains why they were not damaged by the radiation. And, with this film, NASA’s astronauts take many pictures, most of which are bad quality, but NASA only (reasonably) keeps the best.

Now, towards the end, I find it obvious that I was being immensely sarcastic, but, there you have it! The Moon-Landing conspiracy. No doubt, there is a lot more to this than I give here. Check out:
