40 years later People still not believing Moon Landing

Forty years ago history was made; Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon July 20, 1969. Since this amazing accomplishment in the United States History there have been many views and ideas (good and bad) about this event. Many have stated “It was a hoax” or that it was “staged in the deserts of Nevada” Senior Cole Erickson said,”I don’t think they even took off.”


While others argue “why would our government go through all that to lie to us?” or “they wouldn’t fake something that important”. No one can say for sure whether or not this milestone in history actually occurred or not, but it’s been forty years since the landing or the “fake landing” and it’s a big deal.

On Nasa.gov’s homepage they have a link to a whole branch of their site dedicated to the landing and its significance. There are plenty of pictures and info about the Apollo 11 and its mission to the moon, and information about the missions 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17 to the moon after Apollo 11. “I believe that we did land, because at that time we didn’t have the technology to fake a lunar landing” stated Senior Sean Comet.

NASA is a government agency that has been conducting experiments that have all and anything to do with Outer Space since 1958. On NASA’s web site, in their books and on their television programs there is firm evidence that the moon landing really did occur. “Personally I believe that we did make it to the moon, look at all the evidence,” said Senior Sergio DeLaRosa “we have all the technology to accomplish a landing.”

But there are still skeptics about the moon landing and believe very much so that it was completely faked. Common explanations for not believing it are “the pictures don’t look real, the background looks like a set,” “the moon rocks are just props made to look like lunar rocks.” These skeptics believe the reason for the government faking the moon landings is too make the world believe that we were the first country to land a man on the moon.

A question that many people have is “why haven’t we returned if our technology is even better now?” The Government has stated things like money, public disinterest, and the goal being reached of beating the soviets as reasons that a moon landing has not been attempted since Apollo 17.
