It has been over 44 years from when the first man landed on the moon. But the theory that the moon landings were fraud by the US government to assert their victory in the space race over Russia, is something which has grown in popularity over time.
Even a poll conducted in America indicates that approximately 20% people believe that the U.S. has never landed on the moon. After the end of Apollo missions in the 70’s, why haven’t US gone back to moon? After All six Moon landings happened during the Nixon administration. No other national leader has claimed to have landed astronauts on the Moon, despite 40 years of rapid technological development.
In this list we have presented some of the evidence to suggest that the moon landings were hoax (fake). We also included NASA’s explanations to each proposed evidence.
1) Waving of Flag
Explanation: NASA claimed that the flag was stored in a thin tube and the rippled effect was caused by it being unrolled before being planted. The ripples were caused by the reaction force of the astronauts touching the aluminium pole.
2) Multiple Sources of Light
On the moon, there sun is the only light source. So, all shadows should be parallel to each another. But this was not the case during the moon landing: photographs & videos clearly show that shadows fall in different directions. Theorists suggest that this mean multiple sources of light were present -suggesting that the landing photos were taken on a film set.
Explanation: Uneven landscape was blamed for the strange shadows, with elusive bumps and hills on the moon’s surface causing the variances. But the explanation do not looks viable as how could hills cause such large angular differences in the shadow? In the image above the lunar module’s shadow clearly contradicts that of the rocks in the foreground looks almost at 45 degree angle.
3) The Unexplained Object
In the photograph above we can notice a mysterious object in the reflection of an astronaut’s helmet from the Apollo 12 mission. The object appears to be hanging from a rope or wire without any reason leading some to suggest it is an overhead spotlight typically found in film studios.
Given the poor quality of the photograph. The lunar module in other photos appears to have no extension from it that matches the photo, so the object still remains totally unexplained.
4) No visibility of Stars
Total lack of stars in any of the photographic/video evidence. There is no atmosphere on the moon, so stars should always be visible and significantly brighter than what seen from earth. According to some theorists NASA left them out because it was impossible to map out the exact locations of all stars.
Explanation: The quality of the photographs washes them off. Though, some photos are of high-quality and yet no stars can be seen in them also.
Considering the fact that anyone can take pictures of stars from Earth in much lower quality and can still see them, make no sense to NASA claim.
5) No Impact Crater
No blast crater is visible in the pictures taken of the lunar landing module, as if the module was simply placed there. The surface of the moon is covered with lunar dust, and even this doesn't seem to have been displaced in photographs.
Explanation: The lunar module landed on solid rock, covered with a layer of lunar dust, so there is no reason why it would create a blast crater. Even if the ground were less solid, the amount of thrust being produced by the engines at the point of landing and take-off is very low in comparison to a landing on Earth because of the relative lack of gravitational pull
6) The letter ‘C’ engraved on rock
One of the most famous photos from the moon landings which shows a rock, with what appears to be the letter ‘C’ engraved into it. The letter appears to be almost perfectly symmetrical, meaning it is unlikely to be of natural occurrence. A designer at the set could have turned the rock the wrong way, accidentally exposing it to the camera.
Explanation: Blamed photographic developer for adding the letter as a practical joke, while on the other hand said that it may simply have been a hair which got somewhere in the developing process.
7) The Moon Walk
If you speed up the film of the astronauts walking on the Moon’s surface it look like they were moving in Earth’s gravity giving support to the claim that they were filmed on Earth and slowed down. As for the astronaut’s high jump on the moon, which would be impossible to perform in Earth’s gravity, hidden cables and wires have been suggested as giving the astronauts some extra height in there jump. In some photographs outlines of alleged hidden cables can be seen, though it is extremely dim.
8) The Van Allen Radiation Belt
The astronauts could not have survived the absolute levels of radiation from the Van Allen radiation belt that would have cooked the astronauts on route to the moon, despite the layers of aluminium coating the interior and exterior of the spaceship.
Explanation: The short time it takes to pass through the belt and combined with the protection from the spacecraft which means any exposure to radiation would be very low.
9) The Layered Cross-hairs
The cameras used during the moon mission had cross-hairs to help in the scaling and direction. These were imprinted over the top of the photograph. But, some of the images show the cross-hairs behind objects, implying that photographs may have been edited/doctored after being taken.
Theorists have suggested, NASA printed the man-made objects over an original photograph of the moon to hoax the landings.
10) The Duplicate Backdrop
The two photos from the Apollo 15 mission shown above clearly have identical backdrops, despite being officially listed by NASA as having been taken miles apart. One photo even shows the lunar module. When the photographs were taken the module had already landed, so how can it possibly be there for one photo and disappear in another? Well, it looks that NASA used the same backdrop when filming different scenes of their moon landing videos.
Explanation: Since the moon is much smaller than Earth, horizons can appear significantly closer to the human eye. Despite this, to say that the two hills visible in the photographs are miles apart is demonstrably false.
11) The Rock which was brought back.
The rocks brought back from the Moon are identical to rocks collected from the scientific expeditions to Antarctica.
Explanation: Some Moon rocks have been found on Earth, but they are all sunbaked and oxidised from their entry into the Earth’s atmosphere as asteroids. Geologists have confirmed with complete certainty that the Apollo rocks must have been brought from the Moon by man.
