This gleaned from Wikipdedia: "There are those that allege that the Apollo program landings were faked by NASA with possible CIA support. Believers in this conspiracy theory have been able to group together on the internet and have consolidated their efforts since the 1990s, prompting some media attention. According to a 1999 Gallup poll, about 6% of the population of the U.S. have doubts that the Apollo astronauts walked on the moon. Gallup itself said of this "Although, if taken literally, 6% translates into millions of individuals, it is not unusual to find about that many people in the typical poll agreeing with almost any question that is asked of them -- so the best interpretation is that this particular conspiracy theory is not widespread." Nearly all interested scientists have rejected the claim, considering it to be baseless. In short, the claim (that the moon landings did not occur) is the actual hoax. The landing hoax proponents believe that the Moon landings of Apollo 11 on July 20, 1969 and subsequent missions never happened, but were faked on Earth. The theory grew significantly in popularity after the release of the movie Capricorn One (1978), which portrays a NASA attempt to fake a landing on Mars."

Landing on the moon gets my vote otherwise much of my teenage years were an illusion, mind you there are some large gaps in my memory of my teenage years. How long do you think before someone joins in to say they've been abducted by aliens.

The only aliens I know of around here are Alienergy, a sect of Argyll and Bute council. They seem to be similar to those chaps in Star Trek. A good way to spot them is to asking them to describe their emotions in front of some stunning countryside – they haven’t a clue what your on about.

I always have doubt about man landing on the moon.1st from the design of the craft that they used to land. 2nd. who landed 1st the cameraman or armstrong? 3.the light and shadows, the receptions from moon to earth thru tv. 4.how come there is no follow up of stories of the rovers and other material that they left on the moon. 5.how come there is no follow up of landing on the moon it seem that the project was just abandoned after claiming being the first and as long as you beat russia to it.
