Finding: BUSTED
Explanation: Despite the old saying "seeing is believing," a 1999 Gallup poll found that 6 percent of Americans don't think the televised Apollo moon landing ever happened. Instead, skeptics claim it was an elaborate hoax cooked up by the government.
Skeptics' exhibit A: NASA's photo of an astronaut taking a moon stroll with some rocks in the foreground. To doubters, the image is obviously doctored because the astronaut's shadow isn't parallel to those of the moon rocks. If in fact the picture was taken on the moon with the sun as the sole light source, hoax advocates say, the shadows would all fall in a parallel direction, or plane.
MythBusters Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage shed light on the shadowy controversy by arranging their own lunar photo shoot. After constructing a moon-landing scene to scale and adjusting the topography to mimic the moon's, the sun-like lamp shining on the uneven surface cast non-parallel shadows on the mini astronaut and imitation moon rocks.
The moon-photo conspiracy theories don't stop there, however. Critics also claim that an image of Neil Armstrong exiting the landing module must've involved additional lighting. The area surrounding Armstrong is completely overshadowed, yet he's fully illuminated. How? The MythBusters believed that regolith — moon dust — was to blame. Regolith, a powdery mix of minerals, reflects sunlight back to Earth, which allows us to see the moon in the sky.
Jamie and Adam whipped up some fake regolith with the same reflective property of the real stuff and returned to their lunar photo set. Positioning their sun-like light above a miniature Neil Armstrong and space vehicle, the MythBusters' photos revealed that despite the surrounding shadows, the sunlight's reflection on the regolith spotlights him up for the famous photo op.

for more information Google it!
If you're going to troll by throwing out links you don't really expect anyone to follow, wouldn't it be a prudent idea NOT to include a link that debunks your post?
Not that this has ever stopped any number of posters from doing the exact same thing...
why most of the people arguing with the grammatical errors of an article instead of understanding the message from it? its up to the readers to search it if they found it interested..

Don't take hard to negative criticism. You're going to find a lot of it if you make a thread in NR that has an actual topic to discuss.
I find it hard to believe that anyone who has the internet hasn't googled this yet, it's not like you had a sudden moment of inspiration here and invented a new conspiracy.
To be fair, I also find it fairly hard to believe that the technology of the time made it to the moon and back with people on board. Having said that, I know less about space travel than I do about Space itself (very little) and I'm not exactly qualified to be debunking NASA. I think something probably went down but who knows and who cares, really?
Also, the internet says all kinds of shit; research Lizard overlords.
1 shares in ISTC have been sold for $364. You can withdraw your check from the bank, or wait for it to be credited to your account in 24 hours.
We have all be assimilated, and all of this "reality" is just being pushed into our heads by our overlords who are milking us dry to support the collective:
So we have another conspirator here ehh??? So I imagine NASA is just one big lie. There is no space station and your cell phone is actually a tracking device the government is using to keep track of your movements.
Come on man if your going to believe BS at least make it your own BS. This conspiracy you have for some reason "just" found on the internet has been around for years.
Be original make up your own conspiracy give the paranoid masses something new to talk about!
(I kinda like the cell phone thing but no you can't use it)
And before anyone posts I know that they can track cell phones already. I do not however believe that the government is using them to spy on us constantly.

If this is what constitutes "deep research," I'm not sure what PhD students bitch so much about...

lol.. just because of this!
Battle stat testing...
Let's not try to take the attention away from your horrendous topic, eh? You can use Google to look up conspiracy theories which people got bored with 40 years ago. Congratulations.
