Apollo 11 mission of the U.S is faked

Thanks for this debate. I will go ahead and address some of my opponent's points. Flag Waving The illusion of the flag waving is partially due to the fact that the camera capturing the flag kept moving. The astronauts also accidentally bent the horizontal rods holding the flag creating the illusion of the rippling flag in the photos (1). No Star Visible The Moon's surface reflects sunlight and the glare would have made the stars hard to see. They also filmed their mission was a fast exposure camera which would limit incoming background light. Pictures were being taken at 1/150 of a second and in that amount of time, stars would not show up (1) No Landing Crater The Lander's engines were throttled back before the lander hit the moon and the lander did not hover long enough over the moon long enough to form a crater or kick up some dust (1). Letter C on a rock Looking at the image of the rock in my opponent's photo, this "letter" could have easily been a natural characteristic. 'C' is a highly basic letter and can easily be formed naturally. What are we going to say next? The face on the rock is real? http://www.debate.org... Lethal Radiation First off, let me point out that we send people to the international space station all the time and they don't die from the radiation. Also the Astronauts received one tent of one percent of the radiation needed for a lethal dose. Their exposure was 11 millisieverts and the lethal dose is 8,000. You need to spend four months in the Van Allen Radiation Belts to receive a letal dose. These are areas for especially high levels of radiation. These astronauts only spent an hour in the belts (2). Technology The Soviet Union Fell behind in the space race because they are not nearly as wealthy as we are and they didn't have the resources we did. Their program was in disarray and their directors kept getting fired. They lacked organization and quality control (4). The Coke Bottle If you actually look at the video all you see is some sort of flashing line in the sand. There is no coke bottle anywhere (7). Take a look at the attached video yourself. http://www.youtube.com... Arguments for Moon Landing The Soviet Union did not contest the landing. If the landing was obviously faked don't you think the Soviet Union would have been all over that (5)? Also the fact that the pictures match what we think the moon would be like so well is another piece of evidence and the fact that nothing in the pictures can be used against the moon landing is evidence in itself (5). If the moon landing was a hoax, a lot of people would have been needed to pull this thing off. Astronauts, photographers, bureaucrats, and people at NASA would have been needed to maintain the conspiracy. The fact nobody has come out to challenge the landing is rather astounding if it is a conspiracy (5). Also, we had several other moon landings in quick succession. This is a far bigger conspiracy to pull off. We had six moon landings and it seems ridiculous why we would spend billions of dollars on such a hoax (5). Lastly, I will give my Big Bang Theory proof. You can bounce lasers off reflectors which has been set up on the moon. This was "demonstrated" in the sitcom the Big Bang Theory (3). Check out the video. It is pretty awesome. Also we can still see the flag from the moon landing from space (6). Rock samples are acknowledged by the scientific community as being non-terrestrial. There is no peer reviewed article that claims that they are non-terrestrial. 1: http://news.nationalgeographic.com... 2: http://ca.news.yahoo.com... 3: http://en.wikipedia.org... 4: http://www.astronautix.com... 5: http://www.askmen.com... 6: http://www.space.com... 7: http://www.theguardian.com...
