No. sorry not yet.

Were the Apollo moon landing photographs fake?

I know Gnasher will have the answer

There was a programme on the tv 3 or 4 years ago about the moon landing being a con and some of the stuff they came up with was fairly convincing ????

No it wasn't faked they did actually land on the moon.

However what did happen was that NASA were concerned that the sheer momentousness of the occasion might overwhelm Armstrong or Aldren so much that they might swear. As a result NASA put in place a 10 minute delay, which gave the team the opportunity to edit comments and re-insert them into the footage.

NASA have especially released the actual footage in time for the 40th anniversary given that our tolerance for swearing has changed substantially since the 60s*.

* note to anyone clicking the link that it does involve a substantial amount of swearing and maybe offensive to children or those of a hermit-link Presbyterian lifestyle.

Well you had me convinced there for all of 10 seconds

Did anyone else watch that programme on tv not so long ago, think it was mythbusters or something alike and they did some extensive tests and put forward good arguments to suggest that the photos were hoax's and it was a setup

the outcome was that they were not fakes and that it did actually happen, but could have been faked if they had todays technology back then........

How can anyone say it was fake.
America wouldn't lie to the world.
I believe it happened and thats good enough for me.

Not all of it was broadcast either.

Armstrong and Houston said much more...

Of course it wasn't fake. Surely no one believes that any government would ever lie to its people and I even had a dream once that a 59 year old nearly won the Open.
