It's capillary effect.

It's the same effect that drives water up in the plant.

the space pen is real but not developed with NASA money, a company develop the space pen and both Russian and US space program is using it.

Also the first landing on moon does that a lot of luck, they are struggling to find a flat surface to land, and have just several second of fuel left before finally touching down. they do have testing on the landing module and several test fail including on tested by neil armstrong which he have to eject before it crash and blow up.

here is an article on the development of the camera for the mission

I think the questions need to be more detailed.
Do you mean the 1969 landing? 1st human landing on Moon?
Because there are many more Moon landings after that.
But if you're talking about 1969 landing, I think it's a hoax.

what is the evidence you have found that can prove the Apollo 11 landing is fake?

Apollo 11 astronauts left an array of corner mirrors on the moon. A corner mirror is three mirrors arranged like a corner of a box, all at right angles to each other. Such a mirror reflects light directly back toward the source of the light. Scientists shine a laser at the moon, and measure the time it takes to reflect back.

The fact that scientists can do this means that man has been to the moon.

the moon hoax people will said that these mirror are all put there by unmanned mission.

Bro, I was just giving my personal opinion on it.
I have read on a few forums regarding the Moon landing, and obviously there will be another team that is the Non-believers churning out their informations.
Do not ask me for proof or anything, because I can tell you now, that I don't have any.

But nevertheless, I still stand firm on my believe that 1969 Moon landing did not accomplished/fake.
Personal opinion btw#

There's always a reason behind a belief on either side. You've read about some that reinforce the point that it did not happen, why not share it with us?

Yo there.
It's not like I don't want to share it with you.
Just that I've read it in another forum, so if you guys wanna check it out, its at www.unexplained-mysteries.com.
There are loads of informations there, thousands of replies and hundreds of topics and also many other different sub-topics.
This is the link to the ET Life & UFO subtopic, http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/forum...php?showforum=7
Happy reading~

P/S: This is actually where I read about most mysterious stuffs at the past 2 years, but stopped recently when I changed job because limited WWW access in the new company.

Edit*
Try this topic too, although it's in conspiracy theories~

To TS:

I believe the landing was real. It wasn't easy, and they nearly blew it when they accidentally broke the button off that turns on the thrusters so that the crew capsule and lander can separate and return home, but they did it. It was a combination of fantastic knowledge, skills and lots of luck.

As to why we don't go back to the moon, well it costs a lot of money, and there's really no benefit in going to the moon because there's nothing there except regolith. So from an economic and scientific point of view, it's a big waste of money to keep going there. We should spend that money on Mars instead.

Curious though... how do we know that no one has landed on the moon ever again?

Aha, now this is something my boss brought up during my training. Usually any major launches will pop up on NORAD's radars so the US will know.

For all we know, there might be an alien base on the dark side of the moon

there are lunar orbiter that taken high definition photo of the dark side of the moon, there is really no little green man there.

also a launch will require a Saturn V size rocket and a space program that employed tens of thoudsand of people, no one can pull of a secret program to launch with a rocket that big to the moon.

Interesting to read

I still stand not believing 1969 Apollo 11 Moon landing!

Mythbuster is a myth. I wonder how much NASA paid them
They could only answer some of the weak conspiracy claims.
But they cannot answer most of the conspiracy theories.


Watch this documentary to the end
