THE GREAT CONTROVERSY ON NASA MOON LANDING

Prepared By: Sagar Kumar

The Apollo Missions :

 Designed to land humans on the Moon and bring them safely back to Earth

 Six of the missions (Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17) achieved this goal

Apollo 7 and 9 were Earth orbiting missions to test the Command and Lunar Modules

 Apollo 8 and 10 tested various components while orbiting the Moon

Apollo 13 did not land on the Moon due to a malfunction

Some Known facts : APOLLO 11 Lunar Module : “ Eagle “ Command Module : Columbia Crew : Neil Armstrong , Commander Edwin Aldrin , Lunar Module

pilot Michael Collins, Command Module pilot

Continued…..

Launch : July 16 , 1969 Kennedy Space Center

Landing : July 20 , 1969 Sea of Tranquility

First Step : July 21 , 1969 Returned Earth : July 24 , 1969

“ That’s one small step for men and a gaint leap for

mankind “  Armstrong and Aldrin were the

first astronauts to successfully land the Lunar Module (LM) Eagle on the Moon .

Collins orbited in the Command and Service Module (CSM) Columbia.

From Where it all Started :

THE CONTROVERSY Bill Kaysing claimed that the chance of a successful landing on the moon was 0.0017% , this information appears to be a report prepared by the Rocketdyne company in the late 1950s

Every Apollo mission before number 11 was plagued by about 20,000 defects apiece

 in 1968, Stanley Kubrick, making his masterpiece, “2001: A Space Odyssey” before the moon landing in 1969

US - Russian ( then USSR ) hurdle to win the space race . Since Russia had already send a drone to moon in 1959

In 2001 ,  Fox television network broadcast :

Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?

which claimed NASA faked the first landing

Ten reasons that moon landing could be a hoax…

THE WAVING FLAG

NASA COUNTER : Flag was stored in thin tube & so ripple effect caused this waving flag effecct

The lack of impact crater

NASA COUNTER : The surface of moon itself is rock solid, so a blast crater probably wouldn’t be feasible anyway….

Multiple light sources

NASA COUNTER : Due to uneven landscape on strange shadow

The Van Allen radiation belt

NASA COUNTER : The short amount of time it took the astronauts to traverse the belt

The unexplained object

NASA COUNTER : The poor quality of photographs.So the object remains still unexplained

Slow motion walking and hidden cables

NASA COUNTER : Hidden cables and wires are suggested to give astronauts extra height

Lack of stars

NASA COUNTER : The quality of photograph washes them out

The C rock

NASA COUNTER : It may simply have been a stray hair which got tangled up somewhere in developing process

The layered cross hairs

NASA COUNTER : The cameras used by astronauts during moon landing had a multitude of cross-hairs to aid with scaling and direction

The duplicate backdrop

NASA COUNTER : Since the moon is smaller than Earth horizons can appears significantly closer to human eyes
