Discussion

I remember staying up watching the actual landing on tv, then having a long wait until they finally opened the hatch door, decended the ladder an then came the famous sentence. " That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind"

The landing wasn't actually shown live. There was no TV transmission "live" from the Lunar Module during decent and landing on any of the Apollo missions.speedyman
During each landing, all we saw was live TV from Mission Control, Houston and we heard, of course, live voice communication by radio.
Live TV from the surface of the moon only started with the deployment of the TV camera mounted on the outside of the Lunar Module - which was only possible once the LM was safely on the surface and the first astronaut was emerging from the egress hatch.
Ignore them. There stupid comments can pollute interesting threads.
It reached a peak about ten years ago when that truly awful Sky documentary was shown. It was that programme that really captured the imaginations of the serially idiotic.
If I ever had one reason for detesting Rupert Murdoch (and I have plenty) it was the commissioning of that disingenuous piece of TV tripe.

We shall ignore the dopes... they always turn up for these threads.
Ti be fair, it's quite a while since any raised their heads over the parapet on PH. Maybe this is a new batch of idiots, wanting to throw their imbecilic and moronic notions into the discussion.
Hopefully, even morons of that stature eventually learn.Ti be fair, it's quite a while since any raised their heads over the parapet on PH. Maybe this is a new batch of idiots, wanting to throw their imbecilic and moronic notions into the discussion.

If only there were some photos showing the landing sites, the equipment left on the surface, hell, even the footprints of the astronauts.............
That proves nothing could just be a picture of a boil on my wifes bottom I remember years ago a girl who worked for us her fella thought everything was a conspiracy. A rather intense chap I recall.
Now without incurring my mate Eric Mc's wrath can anyone remember an April Fool from the mid 70's TV Programme that suggested they had landed on Mars. I can find little mention of this programme but it was I think ITV and probably 1976 or so ? Done in a documentary style. I remember one of the "experts" interviewed saying "you don't need all that fuel just to put a bicycle on the moon" or something.

Genuinely interested in why people say it never happened......please explain why.
I'm not feeding trolls either it just seems far too much evidence to ignore though.
Sadly the internet gives conspiracy nut jobs an audience, whereas in years gone by they would be the strange bloke talking to himself on the bus who you would avoid sitting next to.I'm not feeding trolls either it just seems far too much evidence to ignore though.
