Does Neil Armstrong have a fan club?
There isn't a specific fan club dedicated to Neil Armstrong, but there are many space and science enthusiast groups that appreciate his contributions as an astronaut and first person to walk on the moon. Many space organizations and museums also honor his achievements.
Definitely, and it's a terrible injustice to everyone who worked so hard to finally make that "giant leap for mankind" to pretend it was a multi billion dollar hoax! I however am not one of those people so don't assume this report to be biased.
You cannot argue with numbers
Do you believe that anyone who disagrees has a decorous understanding of what NASA are capable of? With a constantly inclining annual budget of over $100,000,000,000, over 219² miles at Kennedy space center alone and an inscrutable interest and understanding of how to make space travel possible, there is no watertight argument against the Apollo program succeeding.
There is however mathematical proof that they did.
The moon is, on average, 1.05 light seconds from Earth (a light second is the distance a photon of light travels in a second, it's not a measure of time). From Kennedy space center, Florida, you could shine a beam of light to the moon which will reflect off of a mirror and come back. It takes exactly 2.1 seconds for the light to come back into the receiver which means it had to have gone as far as the moon and back and it had to have a mirror to reflect it.
The only way a mirror could have been placed on the moon, where Kennedy space center knows where to find it, is if an astronaut placed it there.
Or perhaps the martians did it?
Apollo 15 and the Kaguya space probe
There is physical, visual and mathematical proof that man has been to the moon; 800 lbs. of basalt was acquired from the Apollo missions and transported back to earth. This type of basalt, which has been naturally formed over the billions of years that the moon has existed, is found nowhere on earth, so where else can it have come from but the moon?
That is physical evidence. The visual evidence is the infamous comparison between a radar image, taken by the Japanese space probe Kaguya (Ka-goy-a), and an average photograph taken on the Apollo 15 mission. It depicts two different types of photograph, taken at different times, on missions by different countries, however the images are identical. I have personally scrutinized the two to find any differences and so may you; there is no difference between the two and there's no way that this could have been faked.
The counter arguments
You may be wondering about the flapping flag. Obviously there's no wind on the moon (there's no air) to make it flap but it does appear to flap a decent amount doesn't it?
Yes, this is because of the lack of air. There is a near perfect vacuum on the moon, so when they put the flag on the moon it shook and there is no air resistance to stop the flag flapping until its weight decelerates its horizontal motion due to the gravitational pull of the moon.
You could also question how the flag stays upright with nothing to hold it up?
Well, quite simply, there is. There is a pole through the top of the flag holding, keeping it horizontal.
In addition, this is a ridiculous argument regardless of its flaws. If NASA had tried to fake it, then they wouldn't let the flag be blown around by the wind coming through an open door would they? Otherwise ill informed conspiracy theorists would think that the flag was being blown around by wind.
There is a sceptic site at
http://www.ufos-aliens.co.uk/cosmicapollo.html
These are quite convincing lies I'm afraid but the creator obviously doesn't have all the facts. Have you ever before seen the video near the top on any news channel before? no, because all the 'witnesses' are actors. Notice how there's no footage of these people at the places they claim they have been to support their claims.
Secondly, the pictures they use have been air brushed by the conspiracy theorists who made the site, not by NASA and they aren't covering any objects up - it's just smudged ground. Again, if NASA had tried to fake it, it wouldn't be so badly obvious.
They also say that they've attached thin wires to the astronauts to help them 'bounce' around the moon and then halved the film speed. Well they can still talk at the same speed and if the audio is on the same track as the visuals (sound and picture) then you can't halve the speed of one without the other. Therefore it hasn't been slowed down at all. Mythbusters also disproved this conspiracy theory.
Remember they can just make up all their facts and videos as persuasive techniques and do whatever they like to the photos and claim that NASA did it. NASA cannot lie about something as incredible and important as the first man on the moon, as 1 billion years in the future (due to solar luminescence - heat and radiation) the Earth will be uninhabitable by humans and the future of the entire human race will depend on our ability to survive in space (this isn't even Sci-fi).
P.S. you spelled really wrong.
Did Mark Shuttleworth go to the moon?
No, Mark Shuttleworth has not been to the moon. He is a South African entrepreneur who is known for being the second self-funded space tourist, traveling to the International Space Station in 2002 aboard a Russian spacecraft.
How did buzz get back from the moon?
After they re-entered the LM, the hatch was closed and sealed. While preparing for the liftoff from the lunar surface, Armstrong and Aldrin discovered that in their bulky spacesuits, they had broken the ignition switch for the ascent engine. The ascent engine had no switch to fire. Using part of a pen, they pushed the circuit breaker in to activate the launch sequence. Aldrin still possesses the pen which they used to do this. (Aldrin has it kept in a glass case for all to see). The lunar module then continued to its rendezvous and docked with Columbia, the command and service module, and returned to Earth. The command module splashed down in the Pacific ocean and the Apollo 11 crew was picked up by the USS Hornet (CV-12).
Where is neil armstrong's ex wife Janet?
Janet Armstrong, Neil Armstrong's ex-wife, resides in Indian Hill, Ohio. She has maintained a private life away from the public eye since their divorce in 1994.
Yes, humans have been to the moon. The United States' Apollo missions successfully landed astronauts on the moon between 1969 and 1972, with a total of 12 astronauts setting foot on the lunar surface.
Who was the 8th man to walk on moon?
The 8th man to walk on the moon was astronaut Harrison Schmitt during the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.
What spaceship did Neil Armstrong ride in?
Neil Armstrong rode in the Apollo 11 spacecraft, which was a part of NASA's Apollo space program. He became the first person to walk on the moon on July 20, 1969.
Apollo 8 astronauts were the first to do what?
Apollo 8 astronauts were the first to orbit the Moon in December 1968. They did not land on the Moon, but their mission was crucial in paving the way for future Moon landings.
How many astronaut went to the moon?
A total of 12 astronauts have walked on the moon as part of the Apollo missions between 1969 and 1972.
Who was the first man 2 step foot on the moon?
Neil Armstrong was the first man to step foot on the moon on July 20, 1969 during the Apollo 11 mission.
What were Neil Armstrong's interests?
Neil Armstrong's interests included aviation, engineering, and space exploration. He was passionate about flying and piloting different types of aircraft, and he dedicated his career to advancing the field of space exploration through his work with NASA. Additionally, Armstrong had a keen interest in the history of flight and was known for his quiet, unassuming demeanor.
Did neil Armstrong drive the lunar rover?
Yes, Neil Armstrong did not drive the lunar rover during the Apollo 11 mission. The lunar rover was used on later Apollo missions in which Armstrong did not participate.
What kept Neil Armstrong from floating into space when he walked on the moon?
Neil Armstrong stayed on the moon due to its gravity, which is about one-sixth of Earth's gravity. Additionally, Armstrong's spacesuit had weighted boots to provide traction and keep him grounded. This combination of lunar gravity and specialized equipment prevented him from floating off into space.
Who is the man who put first leg on moon?
Neil Armstrong was the first man to set foot on the moon during the Apollo 11 mission on July 20, 1969.
Who was the first person to ride a moon buggy?
The first person to ride a moon buggy was astronaut Harrison Schmitt during the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. He used the Lunar Roving Vehicle to explore the lunar surface alongside astronaut Eugene Cernan.
When neil Armstrong have an affair?
There is no evidence to suggest that Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon, had an affair. Armstrong was known for being a private and dedicated astronaut who focused on his career and family.
Why is neil Armstrong's quote important?
Well, it just about summed up a generation worth of triumph,tragedy, successes and failures.
"That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind"
It also compares the literal to the figurative. Literally, Armstrong made a small step off the LEM, figuratively that one small step was as important as inventing the wheel or discovering fire, because it was SUPPOSED to "leap mankind" into the next generation of humanity, that involved space exploration, regular visits to the Moon, Mars and beyond, new science and engineering, among many other things.
The real question is "why didn't that happen?"
I hope I am not answering a homework assignment for someone here, Neil Armstrong, NASA, the Apollo Project are all topics of amazing wonderment, I suggest you google around or visit NASA.gov for more of the story of the greatest event in humankind, ever.
Who were the other two astronauts that went with Neil Armstrong that went to the moon?
The other two astronauts who went to the moon with Neil Armstrong on the Apollo 11 mission were Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon alongside Armstrong while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit piloting the command module.
What was written on the plate that was left on the moon in July 1969?
The plaque left on the moon by Apollo 11 astronauts in July 1969 contained a message that read: "Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon July 1969, A.D. We came in peace for all mankind." The plaque also displayed images of Earth and the signatures of President Richard Nixon and the Apollo 11 astronauts.
