Did we indeed land men on the moon? If you were to take a poll the general consensus would be that we were successful. Yet, there are many conspiracy theorist who would say otherwise. Here is my take on why we didn't actually make it.
If we did land on the Moon why are we lacking physical evidence. Some people say seeing is believing, but I am less than convinced by the video footage. Do we have a way of knowing that it wasn't filmed in a secret warehouse some place in a restricted area of Arizona? There is also no conclusive data that can be used to prove much of anything about the moon. As for the moon rocks, with some doctoring I could make one from a rock I dug up in my backyard.
The United States had everything to gain or lose from the endeavors of the space race. During the height of the Cold War, victory in the race to the moon proved a strong propaganda piece and cause for national unity. The Soviet Union was the first to put both a satellite and man into space, but we somehow beat them to the moon.
Finally, if we did land on the moon why haven't we gone back. After the Apollo missions the only space expeditions have been to the International Space Station and Mars. Why would we have not landed on the non-Earth side of the moon by now.
It is common belief that we have put men on the moon in multiple trips, but there are many questions that surround not only the moon landings but space exploration as well.
