Answer A Question
Did anyone ever walk on the moon or was it made up?
This question can also be asked as:
Where in the Bible does it say man steps foot on the moon it will drip drops of blood?
Why did the bible basher rephrase the question so he could talk about god?
Answers
MAN?S going to the moon and back was certain to bring forth some surprises. Scientifically, there were many. One of them concerned the moon itself, which was thought to be a relatively simple heavenly body.
But not so. Says Dr. R. J. Allenby, assistant director for lunar science of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration: ?Probably the most significant thing we have learned is that the moon is a very complex body?not just the simple ?blob? that many people thought it was. The Apollo missions have sent a lot of scientists back to the drawing boards. It will take many years to come up with new concepts that are generally accepted.?
A Variety of Discoveries
Since the moon is no mere simple ?blob,? what about the widespread theory that the moon originally shot out from the upper surfaces of the earth? A recent scientific report says: ?The idea that the moon was torn from the upper layers of the earth has virtually died as a consequence of the Apollo findings.??New York Times, December 4, 1972.
As for the moon?s composition, the Apollo 16 mission found that the moon material is rich in aluminum and calcium. Metallic iron was present in the moon rocks. The Apollo 11 rock samples disclosed sixty-eight of the known elements. Moon rocks are composed of essentially the same raw materials as are earth rocks. However, there is a difference?in proportion.
For instance, in moon rocks the ratio of uranium to potassium was found to be four times as high as in typical earth rocks. Titanium was found to be more than twice as common in moon rocks as in the most titanium-rich earth rocks. Not the elements themselves but the combinations of elements found in the moon rocks were indeed ?unearthly.? As one lunar scientist put it: ?It?s the same alphabet but a different grammar.?
A discovery made by Apollo 12 in 1969 was that a lunar magnetic field exists. Early unmanned spacecraft had not detected any lunar magnetism.
Temperatures on the moon were found to range from 280 degrees F. below zero to 250 degrees F. above zero. A hole drilled on the moon revealed a steady increase of temperature with depth, about one degree per foot. But as to whether the moon?s core is partially molten or relatively cool there is still some doubt. Seismic observation pointed to a partially molten core. However, data obtained with magnetometers on the moon?s surface and in lunar orbit have led some scientists to believe that it has a relatively cool interior.
As to the search for evolved life beyond the earth, the moon landings have made it clear that nothing even remotely resembling life has been found. Microscopic studies were made to try to find any living, previously living, or fossil material. None were found on the moon.
Have you wondered about the moon?s age? Rocks taken from the early Apollo missions were estimated at from 3.3 to 3.7 billion years in age. However, one lemon-size rock was estimated to have an age of 4.6 billion years. The moon?s soil was estimated at being from 4.2 to 4.9 billion years in age. Thus Science World of February 16, 1970, commented: ?Several researchers confirmed that the moon is about 4.6 billion years old. The Earth and meteorites are about the same age.?
So it is now generally agreed that the moon?s age is the same as that of the entire solar system, including the earth. This is a noteworthy confirmation of the Bible account at Genesis 2:4, which indicates that the earth and the heavens were formed in the same general period of time.
Not Put into Orbit by Chance
An outstanding feature about the moon that man?s space exploits have disclosed is this: The moon could not possibly have been put into its orbit by chance or accident. Commenting on this discovery, William Roy Shelton writes in the book Winning the Moon:
?It is important to remember that something had to put the moon at or near its present circular pattern around the earth. Just as an Apollo spacecraft circling the earth every ninety minutes while one hundred miles high has to have a velocity of roughly 18,000 miles per hour to stay in orbit, so something had to give the moon the precisely required velocity for its weight and altitude. For instance, it could not have been blown out from earth at some random speed or direction. We found this out when we first began to try to orbit artificial satellites. We discovered that unless the intended satellite reached a certain altitude at a certain speed on a certain course parallel to the surface of the earth, it would not have the necessary centrifugal force to maintain the delicate balance with the gravity of earth which would permit it to remain in the desired orbit.
?At Old Cape Canaveral on the night of March 5, 1958, for instance, I watched the launch of Explorer 2 which was scheduled to be the second U.S. satellite to orbit successfully. Everything worked perfectly until the fourth and final stage attempted to achieve the required precise velocity, altitude and speed. On this occasion the difficult combination was not achieved and our intended satellite very soon plunged back into earth?s atmosphere. .?.?.
?The speed required for orbit changes every time either the altitude or the weight of the intended satellite is altered and objects farther away from the earth require more time to circle the earth. For the moon?s distance and weight, that time, called the orbital period, is approximately 27.3 days. The point?and it is one seldom noted in considering the origin of the moon?is that it is extremely unlikely that any object would just stumble into the right combination of factors required to stay in orbit. ?Something? had to put the moon at its altitude, on its course and at its speed. The question is: what was that something??
Identifying ?That Something?
Is ?that something? that put our moon into permanent orbit an unintelligent force? Well, consider not only our moon but, as we look out into space, all the heavenly bodies. We see matter in motion. How did this come to be, especially since a body of matter when left by itself is motionless, inert? And for matter to be pushed into motion, does it not have to receive a push, a shove? Furthermore, this force pushing it has to come from outside the matter, since matter is not self-winding.
As we observe these material bodies in space, we note that, interestingly, their course of movement is circular. And so marvelously regular and precise is their orbital movement that men can navigate by observing the sun, moon, planets and stars. Calculations can be made far in advance of the exact position of a heavenly body at any given time. Says the World Book Encyclopedia: ?The ship navigator carries with him a book called the Nautical Almanac. This book gives the exact position of each heavenly body for exact times and dates. It tells the position of the heavenly body if it were to drop straight to earth at any instant. By observing the direction, or bearing, of a star, and by measuring its angle above the horizon, the navigator can figure out how far he is from the earthly position of the star.?
When we consider all these things?matter in motion, precise circular movement, and so forth?the indication is that there is an outside regulating, guiding force; that is, someone who knows the precise velocity, altitude and speed required for a heavenly body to stay in permanent orbit. There must be a Lawgiver that governs the movement of this otherwise inert matter. There must be an intelligence that causes these bodies, such as our moon, to move and to stay in their orbits.
So we see that this force behind the movement of matter could not be just an unintelligent ?something.? There has to be an intelligent Designer who put all these bodies of matter into relationship to one another, and to coordinate them so that there is no collision or crash. The noted scientist Albert Einstein once said: ?It is enough for me to contemplate the mystery of conscious life perpetuating itself through all eternity; to reflect upon the marvelous structure of the universe, which we can dimly perceive, and to try humbly to comprehend even an infinitesimal part of the intelligence manifest in nature.?
So all ?nature,? as worldly scientists call it, betokens intelligence. And where there is intelligence, there is personality bound up in a person. And that Person, who is the great force behind the movement of matter, inert in itself, gave it its initial push and directed it in its circular course of movement. When we consider the vast bodies of matter that are in motion, this one must be a Mighty One.
That person is called in the Holy Bible ?God.? The ancient psalmist acknowledged that the heavens had to have a Designer and Maker: ?The heavens are declaring the glory of God.? And the Christian apostle Paul also reached the same conclusion when he stated: ?Of course, every house is constructed by someone, but he that constructed all things is God.??Ps. 19:1; Heb. 3:4.
It is concerning this intelligent Personage, who determined the relationship that the sun and the moon would have to the earth, that the Bible says: ?God proceeded to make the two great luminaries, the greater luminary for dominating the day and the lesser luminary for dominating the night, and also the stars.??Gen. 1:16.
Made to Be a ?Lesser Luminary?
Another outstanding discovery of lunar exploration is that the moon was designed to be a ?lesser luminary.? Exploration of the moon revealed what is called ?the surprisingly abundant glass.?
An examination of the moon?s surface has led to the estimate that about 50 percent of its ?soil? consists of tiny glass particles. The glass can be found in different shapes. Some of it is round; some is elliptical; some is teardrop-shaped, or dumbbell-shaped. The glass spheres range in size from tiny specks to very small marbles, and they are extremely lustrous when a light shines on them.
Even the moon?s rocks show that they were made to reflect light, for they are pitted with small glass-lined hollows. When space exploration researcher W. R. Shelton got his first look at moon rocks, he said that he peered down at a lemon-size rock with jeweled fragments of glass: ?The base rock itself looked like gray charcoal. A man near me said that if he ran across it in a parking lot, he wouldn?t have bothered to pick it up. But I would have. I would have been instantly intrigued by the shining fragments that peered out at me, almost as if alive.??Winning the Moon.
Yes, some of the glassy spheroids glinted out of the gray lunar rocks like tiny diamonds! And some of the rocks are covered with spattered drops of glass and appear as if they were glazed.
That so much of the moon?s surface consists of glass is unusual in that very little glass is found naturally in the soil on earth. Why, then, so much glass on the moon? Because the Holy Bible reveals that the moon was made by God to serve as a ?lesser luminary? or a ?night-light.? The tiny glass beads act as the glass beads in roadside reflectors that catch an auto?s headlight and shine brightly. The glazing of the rocks also contributes to the reflecting properties of the moon, as does the glassy lining in the pits of rocks.
Actually, the discoveries made regarding the moon confirm what the Bible says about it: That it was created by God, that it was to be of benefit to man and to serve as a luminary.
THIS IS JUST SOME OF THE EVIDENCE THAT THE ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS YES!
This was taken from awake 1973
Comments
you may notice that milander rated my answer of yes, as not an answer. if you drop down to his comment he also says yes. what does that tell you about him?
I rated it as 'not an answer' because YOU did not answer the question. You did not say if they landed on the moon and you did not give a reasonable explaination if they did. Neither did you refute they idea that they did not land on the moon. You also provided no links to other sites that would support your statements instead you dragged theology into the issue - therefore, not an answer.
I am truly sorry for whatever it was that happned to you that has filled you with so much hate. Best regards Larry
A personal story. One night about 4am as I waited for the ok to load one of the G. P. S. rockets tanks with liquid oxygen, a lightning storm rolled toward the cape, as it approached, the loudspeaker announced its distance. ?Twenty miles out?, ?Nineteen miles out? Etc. when the announcement said, ?Ten miles out? I was invited into the underground bunker, by The Sergeant in charge, which I gladly and hastily accepted! As I sat at the desk where the sergeants ask me to sit, my eyes fell upon some technical Schematics. Who could resist? Not me! It was all the details of the satellite and the rocket. I was so absorbed, that I failed to notice the sergeant approaching. Until he cleared his throat and said, Interesting isn?t it? I thought I was headed for the brig! When I started to apologize. He said no, no, it?s all right, this document has been declassified. You see when the rocket rises above the horizon, the Russians start monitoring it anyway. Would you like to take it home for your family to see? I did,They loved it! So the government that launches the satellite owns it, but any one with the know how can tap into it,-- so it seems to be a technicality. I?m telling you this story because; I worked as a member of the NASA support team And that?s what it said on my I.D. badge. So for whatever that?s worth you decide.
Gee Wiz Larry, your awsome ! You worked for NASA. : ) So I guess your the one to ask if thats really a moon or just a Death Star. : P j/k. btw my thought as I was reading your answer, 'A personal story. One night about 4am as I waited for the ok to load one of the G. P. S. rockets tanks with liquid oxygen, " ...As you do first thing in the morning...lol..". Then I read the NASA part..
I wrote this to mabey give an explaination to why it might have been fake. It's meant to made up because man should be more than capable to walk on the moon and go even further beyond, but with other issues stopping progress, the only way to convince people that mankind is moving in the direction for the good of all people was to fake a landing and broadcast it. Issues would have been brought up with people wanting to know why man is not on the moon if it was announced we will not go there. Why not ? We rather use the money we have to help the sick diadvantaged. Why play expensive games when that money could have saved people. Another excuse would simple be, too much freedom was taken advantage off from people, rather those really needed it, making laws that "benefit" the sick and poor. Stopping progress in certain areas to help others. It makes more sense to help another's than to play on a rock in outta space, but this would be too hard to understand from those that await advancement in life with technology, and it would be agreed, it's a long and over due advancement. So a fake landing was created to keep the spoilt people at bay while we focus on the real issues, like saving others from terrible deaths in the world. Until money grows on trees, not all of us will live the same way. Of course this is not the real story, I made it up, but can you imagine the people upset because of the fact that man should be further in space....If we had to spend the money else where would they understand? A civil uprise avioded if the landing was faked.
larry, breath. In. Out. NO one wants to read that shit. please try to calm down next time, okay :P
Why does Larry always (almost) have to bring God into it. Is he some kinda evangelist wanna be or what?
God knows..hehe..j/k The book he quotes has a lot to do with God, Ask him about the book, it has a lot of information. or visit www.watchtower.org The article Larry wrote was from Awake 1973.
Thanks oz, I am an ordained minister. 50 yrs., This year,so I am a wanabe.
I'm a wanna be too, but a wanna be a kid Showbag and stuff so I can play and dress up with. And be a super hereo
Me too very interesting actually
I thought this part was very interesting .. . An examination of the moon?s surface has led to the estimate that about 50 percent of its ?soil? consists of tiny glass particles.

I'm reading it. I'm enjoying the story.
well, it hurts my eyes, those words are confusing. And plus i have bad eye sight. I will never wear glasses!!!
i did not even finish reading that long long story i to lazy to read all about that want to be my friend
Yes, they did walk on the moon. End of story, it happened.

Yes, they did!
Man did not walk on the moon, people believe it because they want to. The moon landing was staged in NASA. Look at the photos of Armstrong on the moon closely and you will see.
P S im 10 years old.
Yes, they walked on the moon.
Man has never walked on the moon best way is to get the photos from NASA and see, people are to smart these days to be tricked by NASA photos. lol

my opinion is that yes we have gotten to the moon and are probably in mars to but the goverment says no to mars. and i have a suspision that the moon landing was fake
No one walked on the moon. The undenyable proof is all the proof that's needed. You ready for this?
There were no computers small enough back then! C'mon. In 1969, office grunts (later refered to as "SneakerNet") probably had to haul the smallest computers up to corporate in service elevators (service elevators have wider doors)!
There were no shuttles large enough to house as many computers and components as it would have taken to get even [i]one[/i] person to the moon. Not to mention the space required for thousands of pounds of cooling units and tons of coolant!
The government does nothing but lie and steal and their sheepish little followers have been 'space cadets' for decades!

Actually, one of the main reason's TODAYS computers are so small and powerful is BECAUSE of the APOLLO program! Plenty of data and pictures are available online. http://ed-thelen.org/comp-hist/samp-apollo-guide.jpg The space program has had many spin-offs, with computer and communications technology being some of the very best!
Lol@u The average pocket calculator today has more computational power than the computers back then in the late 60s/early 70s. The computers they used were designed for very specific purposes not the multi-tasking machines we have now. Because they were designed for specifics they could easily be small plus at the time a lot of the machinery involved was not computer dependent it was largely mechanical. You mention cooling, you may have a point there as it is difficult to get rid of heat in space as ther is no medium to transfer the heat radiation into. However, the apollo craft used vanes to redistribute heat radiation. They also kept the craft in rotation so that heat was dissipated regularly. When they went to the back of the moon (3 times) before the lander went down they had ample time to lose any heat. If you still don't believe man went to the moon go to these sites if you are brave enough and get back to me with any counter arguements, I love a good arguement btw. http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2001/ast23Feb_2.htm http://www.redzero.demon.co.uk/moonhoax/ http://www.dc8p.com/html/moonhoax.html <-------- funny
Computers could be [i]fairly[/i] small, by that time, yes (only in comparison to ENIAC!). But, obviously, not small enough to, not only fit on that little craft, but to allow it to get off the ground. What does a modern pocket calculator have to do with the huge computers that were around decades ago? The only thing you've managed to prove with this statement is that more computers were necessary. "...largely mechanical..." That's why they were so big!!! Not to mention how heavy those machines were considering their size and the materials they were made of back then! And, if you're trying to prove a point other than governmental lies, why would you direct anyone to a government-backed site? NASA is federally-funded. Do you think that they are going to give up their only major source of funding, simply to tell the truth? Americans have believed the governments lies for this long, why bother with honesty now, anyway? Nice try sneaking Apollo in there. But Apollo's "Americans-will-believe-anything" project began around 1961. Computers were even larger and heavier then, in the beginning of the story, than they were in 1969. At least mention a later date so that this subject can become a little closer to 'believable'. The further back you go, the less truth there can be.
The point I'm making is that a pocket calculator has little computational power nowadays but its ability to compute is as great as many of the most powerful computers of the time when they were travelling to the moon. If you factor up scale of a pocket calculator to, say, the size of a car engine, that would have been enough to provide computational ability. Also don't forget that many of the calculations were done without the aid of computers. If you've seen the film Apollo 13 or read the book, you'll see that Jim Lovell calculated the return flight trajectory on paper with a pencil before entering it into the computer. Also I don't think you appreciate what a computer is - it used to be a job description, someone who computes, crunches numbers. The computers on the moon missions were largely there for controlling systems NOT calculating algorithms, people did the calculating and then just punched the answers in. Also I think you underestimate the size of the lander and mother capsule, they weren't small and cramped (at least at their time). The two components, lander and mother were about the size of a school bus, plenty of room for a decent amount of kit and equipment.
