Moon Landing
The moon landing is one of America's greatest accomplishments, not only showing that we were capable of doing something so great but also bringing America together as a whole making everyone feel united and patriotic, if you try to tell anyone who witnessed the moon when it was broadcast in July of 1969 that it was a hoax, they will be quick to correct you and then they might tell you about how they saw it with their own eyes a man walking on the moon, but with the advancements in our scientific knowledge we have more proof than ever that the moon landing was a hoax.
Not only is our knowledge of science much larger now but our technology is so advanced it’s amazing, but somehow before everyone had a computer, before smartphones, the United States built a rocket that took people to the moon, now this sounds a little silly when you think about it, if our technology was so advanced in the late 60’s how come we have never gone back to the moon for a follow up

So it’s fair to suggest that all shadows should run parallel to one another. But this was not the case during the moon landing: videos and photographs clearly show that shadows fall in different directions. Conspiracy theorists suggest that this must mean multiple light sources are present -suggesting that the landing photos were taken on a film

Once the United States landed Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon, it was clear that the U.S. hoaxed the moon landing due to observations being viewed during the live footage of the moon landing. When watching the United States land on the moon, viewers claim to have watched the flag waving on live television. As known, there is no atmosphere in space or on the moon, so why should the flag be waving? NASA clai...
No one can physically prove that the US landed on the moon. So, will Americans ever know the real truth about the moon landings? What one's eyes see, one believes. So, from all the evidence that NASA obtained, it proves that they really did send men to the moon in 1969.
The moment astronauts set foot on Earth’s Moon, in July of 1969, the legacy of the United States’ space program changed forever. Countless Americans watched the launch and landing of Apollo 13 on their televisions with pride on that day, proud of their country for achieving such an insane goal as walking on the Moon. While NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, struggled through obstacle after obstacle, invented new technologies and advanced old ones, placed the first man on the Moon, because the Soviet Union threatened to beat the U.S. to the space frontier, the nation greatly congratulated the feat that began the technological era. After forty-five years, however, the awe Americans held over NASA’s programs dwindled considerably. Although NASA no longer holds the nation in awe over their moon mission achievements, NASA programs remain vital to the United States because they advance everyday technologies, inspire creative visions, and discover greater knowledge for the entire public to benefit from.
“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” was stated by Neil Armstrong once a national goal was accomplished. Landing successfully on the moon was a major goal for astronauts of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin were honored to be the very first of mankind to step foot on the moon, and allowed America to set future goals for outer-space journeys. With the assigned Apollo mission, America was granted much needed hope. Astronauts of NASA in the Apollo Program accomplished John F. Kennedy’s goal of placing the first man on the moon safely for the United States.
The word race is defined at its core as a competition between runners, horses, vehicles, boats, etc. to see which is the fastest in covering a set course. Well, interestingly enough, a race of a different kind occurred between two countries from the years 1957 to 1969. The competition was unclear, and the opponents were on two entirely different continents, not something as simplistic as two horses. The United States and the United Soviet States of Russia both set out as arch rivals in the “Space Race,” a quest for dominance beyond the known Planet Earth. Ironically enough, just as communism was spreading to all parts of the world, the United States always sought to squash this form of government, despite somewhat dire consequences. Now, with
Some Americans now ask, "Was the moon landing a hoax?" Is this actually possible; would the U.S. government lie to our nation, let alone the whole world? The answer, no, should jump out. Hoax believers (HBs) thought they researched this thoroughly and gained enough evidence to prove that the moon landing was a hoax, but they don't know jack! Their whole case can be compared to a brick house with one difference. It seems like the bricks have all the corners, sides, and shape of a house. The evidence seems to be very strong, but the bricks are only one dimensional. All the "supposed" evidence crumbles after a little research. In this report I will show HBs falsified case along with the truth.
Apollo 11 landed safely on the moon on July 20, 1969. Neil Armstrong stated that this was, “One small step for man; but one giant leap for mankind. Conspiracy theorists claim that there was no actual moon landing and it was all faked. The reader will conclude that these are merely just theories and that there was in fact a moon landing. Apparently a colossal 25% of Americans believe that the moon landing is a hoax and not fact. Motivation for this large hoax was to beat Russia in the Space Race, and to intimidate them during the Cold War. Sputnik was launched into orbit and people claim that the USA was so behind that they needed to fake the moon landing, one of the most prolific moments in modern history. Claiming that there is no moon landing
There are various reasons people have come up with to try and prove that the moon landing didn’t happen but they all have logical responses. NASA completed what President Kennedy promised six years after he was assassinated. The fact that all six moon landings happened under Nixon’s administration is how the cookie crumbled. People who believe the moon landing is a hoax is accusing NASA of pulling off something so much more complex than actually making it to the moon. We beat the USSR to the moon, there’s no actual proof to be able to deny
I personally believe that the US landed on the moon. I will prove my point throughout this essay by providing evidence, such as proving the facts that don’t support my claim to be wrong, and the facts that support my side to be correct. So those of you on my side here’s some evidence to help you out. Those of you not, keep on reading and you’ll see what I
People are still arguing if the moon landing in 1969 was real or faked by the United States Of America. Some people think it was faked and if they are true this would be very embarrassing to America and NASA. Some think it was real because of some of the evidence they brought back supposedly from the moon's surface but this is my opinion.
Have you ever wondered how some athletes have gotten so good at a certain sport? Have you ever thought about what they did in order for them to get this good? For some the answer is simple; workout and train. But for others the answer is different; the use of performance enhancing drugs such as steroids. There are some people that argue that steroids should be legalized and allowed in professional sports. Other people argue that steroids should not be allowed. Today I am going to state my opinion and justify my reason. Steroids should not be allowed in professional sports because it can be very dangerous to the athlete’s health, it is a way to gain and un-fair advantage and it can be dangerous in both social and physical aspects.
“On July 16, 1969 the world watched in anticipation as three men were hurtled skyward in a rocket bound for the moon.” (news.nationalgeographic.com). This was the Apollo 11 spacecraft, the first successful manned mission to the moon. This mission was the product of the space race (race to see who would go into outer space first, against the Soviet Union). This goal was set by President John F. Kennedy on May 25, 1961 and he promised that we would be the first to step on the moon by the end of the decade. The Apollo 11 mission is often cited as the greatest achievement in human history.

Space, a mysterious place, the moon, a curious place that mankind wonders about day by day. In the 1960’s and early 1970’s the United States sent a team of three to the moon for the very first time. The crew consisted was: Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Out of the three, Neil Armstrong was the first to step foot on the moon (Journal of American History 609). The name of the mission to the moon was called “Apollo 11” this mission took place on July 1969 (Beall, Jeffrey 122). Space is an unexplored place, there are still people trying to discover more than they already know. Curtin people were doubting the mission, some people b the U.S. flag looked like it was flapping in the wind, but the moon does not have an atmosphere (Mashing Moon Myths 505).
