Twelve astronauts were on the moon. What is proven time and again in question. There is the most bizarre theories. But who knows? Maybe you vote Yes. Nothing is as it seems.
No American was yet on the moon. Everything is just Fake.
The Moon Landings? Productions in any of the TV studios, which were also lit poorly or wrong.
And so amateurish errors, such as the waving American flag. Pfffff. As if the flags would be flying at the moon. With No Atmosphere. Fake. A political conspiracy of the Americans to show the Soviets: Look, we have it, not her.
Our men are not able to land on the moon, your. Space Race, Cold War. Because it needs to have time for such methods.
Earthquake machines, and lizard people
Where we’re at it. In the Wilderness of Alaska, there should be a mysterious research facility, which can trigger earthquakes. It’s called HAARP and various weather manipulations able to terrorize the world. Enter HAARP and earthquakes in Google and be amazed by the number of hits.
Yet such a story? Please Be Nice: Chemtrails. The are the white streaks in the sky that are sold to us as harmless contrails. In reality, the spray planes on behalf of bad governments chemicals, to weather and climate change, and us humans to poison.
And anyway – the earth is flat and hollow on the inside.
And it is ruled in truth by lizard people.

We all love conspiracy theories
You laugh now? Or your pulse goes up? Such a bullshit in the DW? Ok, then you obviously are not very prone to conspiracy theories. How many people absurd stories of this kind of faith, is not substantiated by Figures. Also not, whether it is today, in 2019, more than in the past.
In any case, crude conspiracy theories have become by the Internet and Social media more visible, psychologists say, their supporters feel vindicated and no longer have the feeling to belong to a small minority.
Scientific experiments show, however, that conspiracy theorists like to believe the most absurd things, to belong to a seemingly exclusive, elitist knowledge circle.
What are the reasons for this is that there were very many of the followers of a moon landing a lie, and still are, one would have to investigate scientifically. Trigger a strange book of the American Bill kaysing had been was definitely. It came out in 1976, and bore the significant title, “We never went to the Moon”.
It is a hit. Very many people believed the absurd theses. Kaysing had been not a scientist, technician or engineer. He was an author who wrote about agriculture, cooking, tax saving. He haute supposed evidence out of which to prove that there have not been any moon landings is given.
Here are four of his most popular theses:
A cross-strut gives the impression that the flag is blowing
1. The waving Flag
Conspiracy theorists so:
On film images the US flag that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin rammed in the lunar soil that blows in the Wind. But that cannot be, because the moon has no atmosphere.
Science:
The Flag is not flapping. It was only then, when the two astronauts they touched and into the soil rammed. On earth, the atmosphere slows down such slight vibrations quickly. On the moon, however, without the atmosphere – stay for the vibrations very much longer. In addition, a cross-strut was clamped in the flag, to give the impression that you are blowing.
2. No stars in the photos
Conspiracy theorists so:
On the moon pictures, no stars are visible. So they were made in the Studio.
Science:
It is true that we have on the moon – without a disturbing atmosphere – fantastic views of a starry sky. However, when the astronauts were on the moon, there was always day. One explanation is that the surface of the moon, the Lander and the astronauts were lit up by the sun to such an extent that the faint light of the stars went under.
3. To perfect photos
Conspiracy theorists so:
The of the astronauts on the chest-supported Hasselblad cameras had no viewfinder. How could the astronauts so many perfect photos?
Science:
Not all the pictures were perfect. There are numerous blurry images, which are landed in the archives of NASA, only the most beautiful were published. In addition, the astronauts had on the earth the time to familiarize yourself with the Hasselblad cameras, and to practice with them. A special wide-angle lens, the sharp simplified the position and allowed for larger parts of an image.

It’s all a matter of perspective: The shadow of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin extend obliquely
4. The shadows extend obliquely
Conspiracy theorists so:
On some photos the shadows are not seen, which run parallel to each other. With the sun as the only light source would have to be all the shadows are parallel. You don’t have to do but, that’s why headlights need to be in the game.
Science:
Concurrency is always a matter of perspective. Parallel lines on a three-dimensional surface always obliquely, if they are mapped two-dimensionally. Do you think rail to rail. The seem in the direction of the horizon, converge, even though you are guaranteed to always lie parallel. This is true on earth and on the moon.
Still not enough?
There are some other supposed evidence of the moon landing deniers to dust, dangerous radiation, or Shadows. Our colleagues of the spectrum you have exposed excellently. Definitive evidence for a lunar conspiracy, there is not. Conclusion: The moon landings have taken place, not even the Soviets have made at the time in question, and that was in times of the Cold war, something. In addition, a total of about 400,000 people worked for the Apollo missions. Plenty of witnesses, of whom one at some point, something blabbed would have. Or what do you mean?
Here you can read, what is the probability that a huge conspiracy is blown – the physicist David Grimes of the University of Oxford has calculated.
