Moon Landing Gallup Poll



It never ceases to amaze me all the conspiracy theories that people will perpetuate, as evidenced in the moon landing Gallup poll from 1999 that puts the doubters at 6 percent. Even after all these years, and all these other times going into space, so many people still insist the moon landing didn't happen, and have 100 other side theories about the trip.

One of the other theories that intrigues me: was just clued in recently to how many people in certain parts of the world believe that Neil Armstrong heard the Muslim call to prayer come to him from the stars while he was in space, and then converted to Islam. I like this one better than the "they never went to the moon" theory.

"In the July 1999 poll, the overwhelming majority of Americans (89%) do not believe the U.S. government staged or faked the Apollo moon landing. Only 6% of the public believes the landing was faked and another 5% have no opinion..."

Other info about the moon landing, as the Apollo annversary is commemorated:

40th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 Lunar Mission source

"On July 16, 1969 the crew of Apollo 11 blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on the historic quest to put the first men on the moon. To commemorate the 40th anniversary of this achievement, Sun photographer Karl Merton Ferron acquired archive footage from NASA and the John F. Kennedy Library, and interspersed time-lapse images of the moon traveling across the Baltimore skyline during the past eight months. The resulting video is an entrancing convergence of history and art that pays tribute to the Apollo 11 mission."

Fake all the way.

Why don't you bring up real questions instead of the usual strawman arguments? Oh, I forgot you are the mainline media that is not your job! Should you ever start, a good one to look at would be the moonrovers which were supposedly left there and how no one can see them, not Hubble (I know a resolution problem), observatories ( I know atmospheric problems), or high powered amateur telescopes.
Remember some basic logic, if I told you Superman just flew behind you-the burden of proof is on me making the claim, not on the one who doubts it to proof to a 100% that it didn't happen before the one making the claim takes back his statement.
One last thing the dust kicked up by the moonrover rose and fell the same as on earth just in slow motion (nice touch), this could not have taken place with the moon being 1/6 the gravitational pull of the earth's gravity ( I know the dust had weight belts and equipment attached to them). These are just some of the nonstrawman arguments which mythbusters and the like never touch on, probably to difficult to get into. I know it is hard to accept, but all countries have their form of propaganda. By the way I love Star Trek too! Let's keep Science Fantasy and Science (or the scientific method which has as part of it independent verification) in their proper places.

Way too much evidence of a staged hoax! I can't believe anyone could land on the moon, much less walk around and hit a golf ball, with the computers of 1969--they didn't even have cell phones. The photos were too staged and thousands of photos were taken at the time they were walking around and setting up all the equipment. There was not time for them to take so many great photos! Remember they had huge gloves and even changed the film with them on! Try it--it's impossible to do--Who actually took all the pictures?

Hmmmmm, we somehow got the Russians to go along with the 'hoax'? They would have been screaming the loudest if we hadn't landed on the moon. As soon as the lunar explorer has decended to it's lower mapping orbit we'll see the rovers. Dust falling in a vacuum and 1/6th gravity does look like it's falling in slow motion. They faked the whole Jesus thing too I hear and boy, is Zeus ever pissed about that. He misses the offerings that people used to leave in his temple.

This 6% is on the tail end of the bell curve.

I think we should place all these non believers in a spacecraft and send them to the moon to look for the moonrovers and bootmarks on the ground.

If they did land on the moon, how did they took off from the moon?

I wonder why there is never a "Moonscape" in the background. It is always black like the view is looking out over the curvature of the moon. One would think that there has got to be hills or rises in the background landscape caused by craters and Highlands!

i agree with you ms sylvia. i was 16 yrs old then and i wonder why there was no background or something.

I believe Walter Cronkite not these jerks.

It's so hard to believe that there are people who call themselves smart and yet they fall for these claims that we never landed on the moon. and the funny thing is all of a sudden they become experts on gravity, pictures, and all this other so called evidence. I bet you guys are also fans ot the "reverse technology" theory...you know...the one where our current technological advancements come from alliens...LOL oh and dont forget planet x guys....LOL IDIOTS!!!!!

Get over the disbelief that we landed on the moon. Guess what? We landed on the moon. The photos? Were did you get them? Straight from NASA? Maybe the it was the propaganda photos you had recieved. Oh that's right, you got them straight from NASA, right? WRONG!
