... and people wonder why I'm so disgusted with the public school system.

WHAT?? Wait... aren't you -more- disgusted, though, that our 'golden dawn' of space-agery didn't give us all the rocket-pack commuting fathers and jet-cars for happy nuclear families as seen on the covers of 'Popular Mechanics', or the Syd Mead-esque cars and buildings as promoted in the old 'U.S. Steel' brochures??

Heck, I'm still waiting for the diesel-powered wristwatches they were talking about in the 1930's. Whatever happened to them?

Further evidence NASA faked moon rocks:

Scientists know for a long time that our moon has no magnetism. So, rocks collected on the moon should not be magnetic. But many moon rocks are magnetic. This further proves that NASA FAKED MOON ROCKS.

The moon mission was a huge propaganda tool for the US to claim technological superiority over other countries.

If the missions were faked, why didn't the Russian, who had the equipment to track and either confirm or debunk the moon mission, poke a massive hole in the US propaganda attempt? Especially since most of these missions happened during the peak of the cold war.

And if it's so easy to fake these trips, why hasn't every country on the planet engaged in these hoaxes?

Quote:Apollo missions tracked by independent parties

Aside from NASA, a number of entities and individuals observed, through various means, the Apollo missions as they took place. On later missions, NASA released information to the public explaining where third party observers could expect to see the various craft at specific times according to scheduled launch times and planned trajectories.

Observers of all missions

The Soviet Union monitored the missions at the Space Transmissions Corps, which was "fully equipped with the latest intelligence-gathering and surveillance equipment". Vasily Mishin ("The Moon Programme That Faltered."), in Spaceflight. 33 (March 1991), pages 2–3 describes how the Soviet Moon programme lost energy after the Apollo landing.

The missions were tracked by radar from several countries on the way to the Moon and back.

The NASA Manned Space Flight Network (MSFN) was a world-wide network of stations that tracked the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and Skylab missions. Most MSFN stations were only needed during the launch, Earth orbit and landing phases of the lunar missions, but three "deep space" sites with larger antennas provided continuous coverage during the trans-lunar, trans-earth and lunar mission phases. Today, these three sites form the NASA Deep Space Network: the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex near Goldstone, California; the Madrid Deep Space Communication Complex near Madrid, Spain; and the Canberra Deep Space Communication Complex, in Tidbinbilla, near Canberra, Australia.

Although most MSFN stations were NASA-owned, they employed many local citizens. NASA also contracted the Parkes Observatory in New South Wales, Australia, to supplement the three deep space sites, most famously during the Apollo 11 EVA as documented in Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia and portrayed (humorously and not quite accurately) in the movie The Dish. The Parkes Observatory is not NASA-owned; it is, and always has been, owned and operated by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), a research agency of the Australian government.

Several other Australian sites which are no longer part of the Deep Space Network were also involved in relaying Apollo lunar transmissions. The deep space (lunar) tracking station was originally Honeysuckle Creek Tracking Station. Carnarvon Tracking Station was one of the smaller and more numerous MSFN sites used primarily to support the near-earth segments of Apollo missions, though it also relayed data from the ALSEP lunar surface experiments. Due to its location on Australia's west coast, Carnarvon played a special role in the Apollo trans lunar injection and atmospheric reentry phases. Deakin Switching Centre routed the Apollo television broadcasts.

It would have been relatively easy for NASA to avoid using the Parkes Observatory to receive the Apollo 11 EVA television signals by scheduling the EVA at an earlier time when the Goldstone station could provide complete coverage.

You people are complete and utter idiots.

And don't even bother making bigger fools of yourselves by claiming that the former Soviet Union is in on the claimed hoax too.

Added on March 15: Reasons for Above Claim

The Moon has "pockets" or "areas" of "local" magnetism based on the distributed material in the crust, and on the small magnetic fields present in the alloys of ferromagnetic material there (that is, meteorites found ON the Moon).

Such local magnetism could not result in many magnetic "moon rocks" brought back by Apollo astronauts. Until the Apollo missions, many prominent scientists were convinced that the moon was born cold and stayed cold, never melting enough to form a liquid core. Such a molten core is essential for a long-lasting magnetic dynamo, which in turn is essential for the magnetism found in the (faked) "moon rocks"

The Moon has no strong gravity or magnetic field, so there's
virtually no reason to expect it to maintain an atmosphere for any appreciable length of time (Ref. C). Anyway, the Moon was far more likely lifeless than otherwise. Or do you think the neuron fossils originated on the Moon?
