THE MOON LANDING

John F. Kennedy promised that by the end of the sixties America would have a man on the moon. However, NASA quickly realized there was a belt of asteroids (known as the Van Allen Belt) on the way from the earth to the moon whose radiation would fry any man-powered spacecraft that tried to get through it. In fact, the Russians had tried to go to the moon but the cosmonauts had had to turn back because of the Van Allen Belt.

However, it was the height of the Cold War and going to the moon was important to the United States government because it would prove the Americans had greater power than the Russians. Also, the decade was fraught with protests, discontent, civil upheaval and the assasinations of a president, a presidential candidate and a civil rights leader, so something possitive was in order to bring a ray of sunshine into people's lives.

Thus, NASA decided to stage the moon landing, keeping the truth from as many people involved as was possible.

Golf clubs and a car were brought to the moon. Why didn't the astronauts bring a telescope? They could have seen farther into the universe than anyone before.

How did they fit that car/dune buggy-looking thing into that tiny spacecraft in the first place?

If the gravity on the moon is one sixth as strong as on Earth, then the crew of Apollo 11 should have been able to jump much higher than they did.

How is it that the whole mission was conducted using less computer power than a Wal-Mart watch, yet the spaceship managed to hit the moon accurately the first time a feat like this was ever attempted?

Why haven't the Americans been back to the moon in the last forty years? Why has no other nation gone there?

Why did they not go back and set up a military base up there? The Cold War would have been ended twenty years sooner.

It was sure good of the Russians, along with the rest of the nations in this world, to go along with that for our benefit. Still, one would think that if it really was a hoax that someone with enough credibility would have come forward to get paid for the story by now, but I must not be giving the Illuminati enough credit for their abilities to keep what they want hidden hid.

As far as the Russians not coming forward, who would have believed them anyway since they were the bad guys?

As far as no one with "credibility" coming forward with the story:

Firstly, you aren't giving the new world order enough credit. The moon landing being a hoax is just not something that can be widely publicized.

Second, even factoring out the new world order aspect, the reason it could never be publicized on a national level is there are just too many people who want to believe the moon landing actually happened.
