How many of you believe that the moon landing was nothing more than a hoax to strike a psychosocial blow against the U.S.S.R.
Me personally I believe that it was all an elaborate charade in to win the Cold War.
I would like to hear some your views and open up some dialog.

I don't exactly have a lot of faith in NASA, actually I'm coincidentally reading Dark Mission at the moment ^_^, but I do believe we actually made it to the moon. I just wonder why we haven't tried anything to see the other side of it yet.

Plus another question that I raise is why we have not been there in close to 40 to 50 years. That is nearly half a centary.

Why would it matter if we've been there or not? That's a question I'd like answered. A psychological blow against the USSR? Perhaps as a retribution for the blow the USSR dealt by launching Yuri Gagarin into space (first man in orbit). Other than that, what have we really learned of the moon? It's a cold, barren place with many impact craters. According to reports the other side is just as barren and with less craters *shrugs* no utopias inhabited by green creatures, no subterrain cities providing thousands of sentient beings a place to train and prepare for an invasion; nothing. Does it matter that some crazy person who let himself get slung 375000 kilometers into the air put a footstep on such surface where noone can ever see it (and noone ever will, since Google Moon has it blurred out)? Or that he placed a plaque there, stating that mankind's intentions are peaceful? *snort* Peaceful my arse, any alien reading that plaque and zooming in on the Middle East will quickly come to the conclusion that mankind is a hypocritical sentient selfdestructive race.
It's irrelevant whether or not we've ever been on the moon, or whether we will ever be. You know what I'd find interesting? Mars. There have been found traces of water there, and water is a required resource for life in any form or condition we would recognize it as and be able to interact with. Mars is where the secrets are. And perhaps Jupiter's moon Europe. Europe's supposed to have a subzero but liquid core. Who knows what kind of life could have developed there, right under our noses?

Why couldn't this just be a yes or no question? I was about to vote the latter but the words chosen just sound so dang cheesy I feel cheesy clicking on it. Considering there has been reports of people coming back from space and a rocket blowing up on the way back to earth I believe we have been on the moon. We just don't have the intelligences to find the moon palace ruins and the spirit of Queen Serenity...................
Wait.

Well, the Soviet Union never broke their silence right?, If the Komitjet Gosudarsvenny Bezupasnosti(KGB):s first directorate (PGU, Pervoye Glavnoye Upravleniye), then reputed to be the finest intelligence service alive, did not shout out foul(Which would have been the greatest scoop/international scandal since I don't know and won the Soviet Union the greatest prestige boost ever), then there is three scenarios: The KGB was fooled, we landed really on the moon or CIA bribed their main foe in the cold war.
The first scenario is unlikely since the KGB carried out wanton murders right under the Houses of Parliament (Waterloo Bridge) and got away with it (the Georgi Markov murder) and did it with a sophisticated system (umbrella gun with ricin bullet).
CIA bribing the director-general of KGB is not likely, so that leaves us with we really landed on the moon. Quod Erat Demonstrandum
