Moon Lies?


I'm sure, by now, everyone has heard some mention of the theory that we never landed on the moon.  Because most of us civilians cannot absolutely prove either case, we have to leave it up to discussion based upon what little tangible evidence NASA and the government have allowed us to have.  Instead of being biased and pushing my side one way or the other, I will simply list the most common and popular reasons that leave doubt as to why the footage and lunar trips appear to be staged:

Photos and Films:
  1. Crosshairs appear to be behind objects.
  2. Crosshairs are sometimes misplaced or rotated.
  3. The quality of the photographs is implausibly high.
  4. There are no stars in any of the photos; the Apollo 11 astronauts also claimed in a post-mission press   conference to not remember seeing any stars.
  5. The angle and color of shadows are inconsistent.
  6. There are identical backgrounds in photos which, according to their captions, were taken miles apart.
  7. The number of photographs taken is implausibly high. Up to one photo per 50 seconds.


Radiation and Heat:
  1. The astronauts could not have survived the trip because of exposure to radiation from the Van Allen radiation belt and galactic ambient radiation. Some hoax theorists have suggested that Starfish Prime (high altitude nuclear testing in 1962) was a failed attempt to disrupt the Van Allen belts.
  2. Film in the cameras would have been fogged by this radiation. 
  3. The Moon's surface during the daytime is so hot that camera film would have melted.

Mechanical Issues:
  1. No blast crater or any sign of dust scatter as was seen in the 16 mm movies of each landing.
  2. The second stage of the launch rocket and / or the Lunar Module ascent stage produced no visible flame.
  3. The rocks brought back from the Moon are identical to rocks collected by scientific expeditions to Antarctica.
  4. The flag placed on the surface by the astronauts flapped despite there being no wind on the Moon. Sibrel said "The wind was probably caused by intense air-conditioning used to cool the astronauts in their lightened, uncirculated space suits. The cooling systems in the backpacks would have been removed to lighten the load not designed for Earth’s six times heavier gravity, otherwise they might have fallen over".
  5. The Lander weighed 17 tons and sat on top of the sand making no impression but directly next to it footprints can be seen in the sand.
  6. The air conditioning units that were part of the astronauts' spacesuits could not have worked in an environment of no atmosphere.
  7. All six lunar landings occurred during the first presidential administration of Richard Nixon and no other national leader of any country has even claimed to have landed astronauts on the Moon, even though the mechanical means of doing so should have become progressively much easier after almost 40 years of steady or even rapid technological development.
