Did man really walk on the moon?

But, aside from a vastly increased chance of cancer, sterility, or a slow death over a few weeks, you're fully capable of wandering about in space.

I hear that space agencies prefer older people as candidates for manned missions because they are less likely to be effected long-term by the radiation effects of space (older men and women are not so concerned about having children etc..). Perhaps this is just a lucky benefit though, as qualified people generally meet those qualifications after many years in related fields.

Possibly... it would make an odd sort of sence, I suppose. And, actually, older individuals are slightly more resistant to the cancer-causing aspect. Not a great deal, but since their cells divide slower, and radiation cancers usually are caused during the cell division itself, maybe. But I'm not a oncologist, I don't know for sure. Although, it doesn't matter what age you are when it comes to radiation poisoning or sterilization. Nothing can repair what is that far gone.

Actually, this answers your own question of why they couldn't land. Several flights were aimed to land on the moon. 11 was the first to succeed (I still think it was fake). 12 made it. And 13 just went haywire. The russians made their attempt, too. Any number of thousands of things can go wrong to call the landing off.

Reread it. Neither Apollo 8 or 10 was MEANT to land on the moon. 8 was to see if we could get to the moon, and 10 was a test of the LM in lunar orbit. This was known to the public before their launches. They were NOT failed attempts, they were steps along the way to Apollo 11.

Surely, they also went through the trouble of doctoring of over 500 pictures, too?

[Carnage]

Whos to say the moon even exists?

Anyone who's been to an ocean .

Everyone! Play nice. Be happy and be good little debaters, OK?

[Doomgaze]

The moon is a ridiculous myth perpetuated by the liberal elite.

[Cloud No.9]

did man land on the moon? if he didn't you've got to ask yourself why he sent so many very big very expensive rockets up there. would there be any point in wasting that amount of money just for propaganda? the russians didn't even bother with it. maybe a few pictures were doctored as noone could be sure how photos on the day would turn out.

[Shoden]

all but apollo 11 were real
theres been several different images over the years of the moon plaque and flag theres also a video to show there been golf played

[Doomgaze]

And there's pictures and video from Apollo 11, so?

[udsuna]

Oh, yeah, like they couldn't have faked video images. Little naive of you, eh? All I'm asking for is a little proof that no-one could falsify.

As I said earlier, only the conspiracy theorists can provide proof for themselves that the missions were real, because they have already shown that they won't believe evidence provided by others.

So, Udsuna, have you personally tried to identify the landing site, using a telescope that is powerful enough?

Only in-so-much as going to an observatory and learning that the first site isn't visible from earth. I looked, I asked, I was told. We can see the other landing sites. Or, a few of them... I didn't personally verify every single supposed landing on the rock. But, we can see the lander bases for at least some of the others.
