Did American astronauts really land on the moon in 1969?

Yes.

As shown in the Big Bang Theory, you can run your own experiments to prove the things they left behind are where they're supposed to be.

This kind of anti-American conspiracy talk is just gratuitous.

When first americans came to red china, the biggest question everyone got asked was whether or not the 'rumor' that USA had landed on the moon was true. All reference to it was cut out of any western magazines that made it into the country.

But people don't realize a lot of obvious things. Such as, stars don't twinkle in space. Images were grainy because they were broadcast from the fucking moon with 60s technology, so they have to be low res. And no one could possibly run in a space suit, even a fake one. And ambient like, jesus fuck how does this work? Moon is white, there's tons of ambient light.

Did the rover really land on Mars?!?!?

Seriously, conspiracy theorists, learn the degree you're willing to embarrass yourselves. Just because your countries didn't/can't make it to space and other planets, doesn't hold true for the rest of the first world.

The world does not revolve around you. It revolves around US.

Not sure how can that small capsule have enough fuel to return in home.

Not sure how can that small capsule have enough fuel to return in home.

Momentum is enough.

Once you are in space, no wind/air resistance = constant speed all the way from point A to B. This should be common sense physics.

Fuel really is unnecessary in space except acceleration: speeding up/down.

It didn't, dude. That is just the landing craft.

If it was really fake they would have probably had a simple craft that lands then takes off. It took them a long time to figure out to have basically a throwaway lander that's a self contained ship.

[CordedWhelp]

It is asanine that it wasn't until the 1960's that anyone from earth stepped on the moon....in regards to the popular 1960's footage, I am not certain.

[Unome]

Even granting con-theorists the benefit of the doubt, and humanity has not landed on the moon, then we still have technology now to do so.

So the point is moot. And then you need to explain Mars footage from the rover, another mass-hoax-conspiracy-illuminati-NWO-did-911-obama-bin-laden-is-a-muslim-reptile-space-monkeys?

An astronaut on the International Space Station recently made a giant leap into the social media world with the first Instagram photo beamed down from space.

NASA astronaut Steve Swanson posted a selfie taken in the station's cupola — a large, multi-sided window that faces Earth — as the first Instagram photo sent from space. The photo posted to the station's Instagram account (ISS) on April 7, and since then, it has garnered nearly 4,000 "likes."

"Back on the ISS, life is good," Swanson wrote in an image caption. The veteran astronaut flew to space before during two previous space shuttle missions.

In the photo, Swanson is wearing a shirt featuring a spaceship from one of his favorite TV shows, "Firefly" — a short-lived show about a crew of space cowboys that traverse the universe looking for smuggling work where they can get it. Swanson brought a box set of "Firefly" DVDs up to the station during one of his previous space shuttle missions.

Since Monday, Swanson has beamed back two more photos from the station. One image shows the northern lights glowing green above Europe and the other, posted Wednesday (April 9), is a photo of Swanson going through some medical testing aboard the orbiting outpost.

Astronauts have a history of social media use while in space. NASA's Mike Massimino became the first person to use Twitter in space when he posted: "Launch was awesome!! I am feeling great, working hard, & enjoying the magnificent views, the adventure of a lifetime has begun!" from his account @Astro_Mike in 2009.

Since then, other astronauts have followed suit. Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield sent informational videos and tweets down from the station during his time onboard. He even made a music video using David Bowie's "Space Oddity" that gained popularity after it was posted right before he flew back to Earth.

NASA recently launched its own Instagram account that features new science discoveries, launch information and space history photos.

"We're constantly looking to expand our social media portfolio to include tools that will best tell NASA's story of exploration and discovery," said NASA spokesperson Lauren Worley said in a statement in September 2013. "Instagram has a passionate following of users who are hungry for new and exciting photos."

Obviously a fake photograph, as we all know that mankind cannot yet fly into space. This is Hollywood, highly edited photography. If you look closely in the photo, you can see all the details "out of place" that don't belong there.

Someday I hope that humanity can fly into space and the Moon… someday. For now we must settle on these edited photographs and videos produced by NWO, Illuminati, Avanti Atlanti.
