“Fundamental to the conspiracy theory is our supposed inability to go to the Moon. The thought of humans traveling to the Moon was so fantastic even early science-fiction writers didn't predict it happening for centuries to come”(Villard). The rockets that made the moon landing possible were based upon the principles that were founded by Isaac Newton centuries ago, meaning that the underlying science was already there. The Saturn V rockets were more than capable of taking a man to the moon, and it was seen by thousands of eyewitnesses and media who saw the rocket blast off from the Kennedy space center in Florida (Villard). Those who claim that NASA could not reach the moon in the 1960’s discredit the hardworking engineers and scientists who paved the way for a lunar
Speculation that the moon landings were faked began circulating almost as soon as the Apollo 11 landed back on Earth. Bill Kaysing, author of ‘We Never Went to the Moon: Americas 30 Billion Dollar Swindle’, is often credited with being the leader of the moon landing conspiracy theories. He was also featured in ‘Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?’. The show created a stir and is credited with reviving speculation that the landings were a hoax. After the broadcast, NASA was bombarded with so many questions from the public that it was forced to post an official answer on its website.
The aim of this "quarantine," as he called it was to prevent the Soviets from bringing in more military supplies. He demanded the removal of the missiles already there and the destruction of the sites. On October 22, President Kennedy spoke to the nation about the crisis in a televised address. No one was sure how Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev would respond to the naval blockade and U.S. demands. But the leaders of both superpowers recognized the devastating possibility of a nuclear war and publicly agreed to a deal in which the Soviets would dismantle the weapon sites in exchange for a pledge from the United States not to invade Cuba.
The people were divided. Both the American people and others around word were soon to find out the horrors of what lay beneath an ash cloud that hung hundreds of miles above the Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Even the scientists could not quite believe and could not imagine the effects that these two bombs would have, even now, more than 65 years later. News of the atomic bombing was greeted enthusiastically in the U.S.; a poll in Fortune magazine in late 1945 showed a significant minority of Americans wishing that more atomic bombs could have been dropped on Japan. The immediate death toll will never be known, but within four months, it was estimated that that the effects of both bombs had claimed around 166,000 people in Hiroshima, and 80,000 in Nagasaki.
A moon star is born NARRATOR: A thousand years ago, our moon was home to a great civilization ruled by Queen Serenity. Everything was peaceful, until the arrival of the evil Queen Beryl.

Seven crew members lost their lives. The high profile nature of the “Teacher in Space” mission required an independent commission to review the accident and risk management processes that were in place at NASA and associates at the time. The “Teacher in Space” Mission • 3. The Space Shuttle Challenger Disaster When the Apollo program finished in the 1970s, NASA had begun planning for the next phase of space exploration, an interplanetary expedition to Mars. This involved three core projects- A Space Shuttle- A reusable transport vehicle A Space Station- The launch platform Manned Mars exploration Due to budgetary constraints, only one of these NASA projects could be supported.
Truman was at the Potsdam Conference when he heard the news of the Trinity Test. He warned that if Japan refused the terms of the Potsdam Declaration he would be using a newly developed weapon on them. In early August the Empire of Japan rejected the Potsdam Declaration; therefore, Truman kept to his word. On August 6, 1945, the Enola Gay, an American B-29 bomber, left an airstrip in Tinian with Little Boy in its bomb bay. Little Boy was a uranium fueled atomic bomb intended to be dropped on Hiroshima, Japan.
Saturns Moons The planet of Saturn is an amazing planet as far as moons go. This planet is currently known to have fifty-two moons. Some of these moons are spherical in shape much like Earths moon and some look to be no more than a meteor that was captured by the huge planet. Now Im not going to be able to discuss every moon that belongs to Saturn but I will talk about the six biggest which are: Titan, Rhea, Iapetus, Dione, Tethys, and Enceladus. All of Saturns moons were named after Greek Mythological figures.
Astronomy. This is a great article about how a small group of people are trying to convince everyone that the moon landing was a hoax and the whole thing was scripted. They came up with some evidence that NASA had faked the moon landing and that it was being kept a big secret. Once again Bill Kaysing makes an appearance. The article also says that he wrote a book about the moon landing being fake.
