40 Years since first landing on the moon.

[Sуѕтємƒяєαк]

Today we are "celebrating" 40 years from first successful landing on the moon. True or false and why?

 

Some info:

 

Forty years ago, men from Earth began for the first time to leave our home planet and journey to the moon.

 

From 1968 to 1972, NASA's Apollo astronauts tested out new spacecraft and journeyed to uncharted destinations.

 

It all started on May 25, 1961, when President John F. Kennedy announced the goal of sending astronauts to the moon before the end of the decade. Coming just three weeks after Mercury astronaut Alan Shepard became the first American in space, Kennedy's bold challenge set the nation on a journey unlike any before in human history.

 

Eight years of hard work by thousands of Americans came to fruition on July 20, 1969, when Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong stepped out of the lunar module and took "one small step" in the Sea of Tranquility, calling it "a giant leap for mankind."

 

Six of the missions -- Apollos 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17 -- went on to land on the moon, studying soil mechanics, meteoroids, seismic, heat flow, lunar ranging, magnetic fields and solar wind. Apollos 7 and 9 tested spacecraft in Earth orbit; Apollo 10 orbited the moon as the dress rehearsal for the first landing. An oxygen tank explosion forced Apollo 13 to scrub its landing, but the "can-do" problem solving of the crew and mission control turned the mission into a "successful failure."

 

Btw I believe this happened on a studio for some reasons I've read.

 

Check these as well, mythbusters put the conspiracies under test.

Well, there are some people, who believe that man never went to the moon. (Conspiracy Theories...)

 

I'm not one of them :P

Well I'm talking about the specific one, not generally
