Yeah, I would like it to be real too.
But knowing how many coverups there are, I just wonder.....

And why are they denying that there are ancient buildings on the moon when they are very plainly seen on the surface......and so on......

Now!!

was it real? or a elaborate setup?

one hand says that there would have been Just TOO many involved for it to be faked.......but!!

Looking at the way that NASA just dont take any risks with shuttle launches these days the technology in 1969 was a bit primitive, to say the least..
the computing power in a modern mobile phone is far superior to the computer that guided the apollo vehicles.
Now I have always believed that it really DID happen........but what I have spotted recently was during one of the lunar module ascents.........who made the camera pan up to follow it rising?

Dear All

Hello

Hope you are well and doing okay.

On this day, Neil Armstrong has become the first man to walk on the Moon.
The american astronaut stepped onto the Moon's surface, in the Sea of Tranquility, at 0256 GMT, nearly 20 minutes after first opening the hatch on the Eagle landing craft.

Armstrong had earlier reported the lunar module's safe landing at 2017 GMT with the words: "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."

As he put his left foot down first Armstrong declared: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

The historic moments were captured on television cameras installed on the Eagle and turned on by Armstrong.

He was joined by colleague Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin at 0315 GMT and the two collected data and performed various exercises - including jumping across the landscape - before planting the Stars and Stripes flag at 0341 GMT.

They also unveiled a plaque bearing President Nixon's signature and an inscription reading: "Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon July 1969 AD. We came in peace for all mankind."

After filming their experience with a portable television camera the astronauts received a message from the US President.

President Nixon, in the White House, spoke of the pride of the American people and said: "This certainly has to be the most historic telephone call ever made."

Take gentle care
Very best wishes
