Has Neil Armstrong ever been to the Moon?

the flag waving

To the Moon and back. But has he really been there or did we witness the biggest lie ever?

There are many secrets that regard the famous Area 51, cituated in the state of Nevada (USA). Some people believe that alien spaceships land there, others believe in a secret military project against Russia. What seems more frigtnening to you: aliens or the 3rd world war?

American giornalist of the Los Angeles Times, Annie Jacobsen, reveals some of the secrets in her book Area 51. I've read a review on the book in il Venerdi di Repubblica of 20 jan. 2012. It made me think of all the secrets that have been kept from us for decades. There are certain things we all have a right to know. Things that could probably change our history, our culture and science. If we knew what happens there, we would not be so scared.

shadows not matching

One of the most popular myths associated with Area 51 is that Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin never went to the Moon. It was a part of the Cold War game where Americans had to upstage the Soviet Union that has already sent the first man in space (Yuri Gagarin). There is a version that the video was filmed at the Nevada's Area 51. If you look closely at the photographs, you can see that some of the shadows do not match up.
The flags wave when there is no air. There are no blast craters under the lunar landers. It is believed that Stanley Kubrick, a master filmmaker, created this "make-believe" film.

In 2002, with the cooperation of Kubrick's surviving family, the French film maker William Karel (after initially planning a straight documentary on Stanley Kubrick) directed a hoax mockumentary about Kubrick and the NASA moon landing entitled Dark Side of the Moon. The film purported to demonstrate that the NASA moon landings had been faked and that the moon landing footage had been directed by Stanley Kubrick during the production of 2001: A Space Odyssey. In spite of clues that the film is a news parody, some test audiences believed the film to be sincere, including at least one believer in the moon landing conspiracy.

The first mission to the Moon was not an easy challenge for NASA. They knew already in 1961 that going to the Moon would be impossible, also because of the Van Allen radiation, that would simply kill them.  But there was too much money involved and so they had to fake it...
