Rob, I KNOW for a FACT that we DID land on the moon. There is a device that was place on the moon (similar to a mirror) that can reflect the light of a laser beam. (This was actually covered on Mythbusters.) It is used frequently by NASA and universities around the globe, and the data is generally available to the public.

The REAL question is, did we send along humans for the ride?

That is where I have some reasonable doubts. The science, physics and technology available at the time just don't quite add up. I'm not saying that we didn't, or that it was impossible, but I AM saying that it is very possible that some of the "evidence" may have been manipulated. (In an effort to appear superior to the Russians.)

Elon Musk is a genius, simple as that. He is wealthy, well-connected, and has NO reason to lie to anyone about anything. But he said this:

Elon Musk: "I think Apollo 11 was one of the most inspiring things in all of human history. Arguably the most inspiring thing. And one of the most universally good things in history. The level of inspiration that provided to the people of Earth was incredible. And it certainly inspired me. I’m not sure SpaceX would exist if not for Apollo 11.

I kept expecting that we would continue beyond Apollo 11, that we would have a base on the moon, that we would be sending people to Mars. And that by 2019 probably would be sending people to the moons of Jupiter. And I think actually if you ask[ed] most people in 1969 they would have expected that. 'And here we are in 2019. The U.S. actually does not have the ability to send people even to low-Earth orbit'."

Well?
