This book is about the American moon-landings – and about the doubts expressed ever since concerning the reality of these landings. Were the images of men on the moon really just a huge and cleverly executed hoax? Eversberg explains the best-known claims and conspiracy theories, and analyses the evidence with the help of detailed full-colour images, as well as numerous film documents that can be accessed directly from the book. He addresses both the persistent older claims and more recently devised doubts.

The book will inform and entertain a wide range of readers interested in space exploration and tells a gripping story covering physics, politics and history.

      "Were the images of men on the moon really just a huge and cleverly executed hoax?"

      They were planning on faking it, then realised how much effort that would be and just did it for real.

      • try2bhelpful on 16/08/2020 - 23:41

        Absolutely correct. They would not have had the technology to fake the moon landings. Also, I’m sure the Russians would’ve been on board covering up the hoax.

        However, I do think that the thing on Trump’s head is an alien; it would explain a lot of things.

    It is harder to go to the moon when it is not 100%. And people will fall off it when it is a new moon. It is hard work.

    The sun on the other hand, is always there. Let’s go there instead of the moon.

    There is not much to say that has not already been exposed in the French documentary "Dark Side of the Moon".
    It is suppressed by mainstream media, but shows up on SBS occasionally.

    "This award-winning film exposes how Stanley Kubrick faked the 1969 moon landing, featuring interviews from many key players in NASA."

    Wonder where they got the moon rocks from or how they hoaxed the live radio broadcasts back to the many receiving stations around the planet at the time. Probably easier to just land and be done with it. The other thing is that there will be plenty of evidence on the moon when they manage to get back there as their foot prints aint going anywhere along with all the gear left behind over the several landings. :-)

    • bargaino on 17/08/2020 - 11:12

      where they got the moon rocks from or how they hoaxed the live radio broadcasts back

      There are numerous meteorites of lunar origin. And there were only a few places capable of receiving transmissions, such as the 26m dish as Honeysuckle Creek. Either a few crew there were in on the conspiracy, or NASA had a small unmanned lunar orbiter.

      :-) Don't get hung up arguing each detail. It is the collective effort of putting it all together, the hundreds of thousands of people involved, mostly civilian, that would make a fraud a far more amazing achievement than actually going there.

  • Ron025 on 17/08/2020 - 01:16

    NASA has a satellite "Reconnaissance" orbiting the moon, the Apollo 11 Moon Landing Site can be seen in Unprecedented Detail plus hardware that was left behind.
    There is also third-party evidence by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. Not only did NASA go to the moon they brought 382kg of it back with them.

          Unfortunately damned if you do and damned if you don’t. To a certain degree it is like a wound; one exposed to the air, that you treat, is better than one festering under the surface that erupts in a huge hole. Unfortunately you can’t help stupid. The real problem is when the people, who should know better, are part of the problem rather than part of the solution.

          Maybe, but we shouldn't just blindly accept a popular theory without understanding it first, the same way you can't win an argument by dismissing an opposing view without a complete understanding.

          I'm not directing this at you, but the comments in this thread show that most people only read headlines (in this case the title). Worse still, most people have misunderstood completely what the book is about.

      Well, if you take into account the vastness of the universe, then you are right. It's a very long way to the edge.
      And of course they didn't land on the Moon. Even a dumb person would see they were bouncing.
      See for yourself, don't just take my word for it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwZb2mqId0A

      • elcheapoinoz on 17/08/2020 - 09:41

        not sure if your comment is serious or not.
        but if it is, thats they "walked" in reduced gravity.
        use any physics similation engine, enter gravity of the moon, go nuts, and see for yourself.

        • bargainparker on 17/08/2020 - 10:12

          Depends which part you are referring to.
          As for; they didn't land, it wasn't. I was just having fun as it looks like they bounce off, instead of walking like on the earth. With a name like that, icarus should be wiser by now to not fly too close to the sun, but still, when he didn't want to listen to his own father's advice, then you can't expect he will believe some strangers who have nothing better to do but lie about moon landing.

          On the other hand, don't see why they waste time on proving it is a hoax. After all, it's not like it affects your life in any way, whether they landed or not. I am not taking into account the inventions in course of the space program which help people in many different ways, just that if you compare someone's life before 1969 and after, it hasn't changed. They would still live their life, just like everyone else, so, don't see why they are so eager to 'prove' it was a hoax.
          So, I'll say to conspiracy theorists, prove that I'm worse off because they lied about moon landing, otherwise, go and educate yourself.

            @bargainparker: Look we have proof its a hoax.

            America doesnt exist, Chris Columbus faked the whole voyage, bribed a few sailors with rum, painted a few rocks, plucked some feather out of a turkey and said it was an Indian

            So since America was a figment of Columbus' imagination, they cant have sent a man to the moon.

            Ask those in the know, those who lived at the time of his voyage.

              @RockyRaccoon: Columbus also said “Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet”.

              However, I think the Native Americans may have discovered it before Columbus.

              Reminds me of the Black Adder episode with Tom Baker as the Captain. Just sail off the coast for a while and then come back and tell some lies.

                @try2bhelpful: Ah yes, you are getting with the plan, as an aside just consider that the Indians werent into Rockets. A few upward shooting arrows maybe.

                Then there is the internet and GPS all using satellites dependent upon loopy rockets that Icarus255 says can't launch.
