We did conquer a new frontier - we placed men on the Moon. There was much political posturing with Russia, especially concerning space travel. The goal of getting to the Moon was Kennedy's legacy, and it was in part a huge show of strength. It doesn't detract from the achievement. That is called circular reasoning. The trips did take place, and I suspect that you have been shown hoax films that use various techniques to manipulate and misinform. Read my blog, link in my signature and check out some of the videos on my youtube channel. I would be happy to answer any questions you have on them. I have a lot less time on my hands recently, so I may not be able to respond immediately.
Maybe it's just the fact that I spent so much time in the late 60's,early 70's running around JSC,that I find this whole moon hoax business insulting. Between school field trips,andfamily outingswe were there several times a year...I vividly remember one time they had a PLSS backpack on displayshowing the insides as they worked. Awful lot of detail to be tripped up with slipshod video
So if the Moon landing was a hoax how did NASA convince the Soviet Union and Australia to be in on it?
it was all a space race. the Russians got ahead of the Americans by orbiting the earth and 2 years later the Americans were on the moon, doesn't that kind of sound funny to you?
