Here's an interesting thread about the possible faking of the Mars robot landings.

Revealing the True Colors of NASA - The Education Forum

I'm going to sit on the fence on this one until I see some more research but I don't rule out the faking of those Mars missions.
I'm convinced you're a Russian agent that wishes to see the return of the Soviet Union. You're deliberately infiltrating American internet websites to spread the Soviet-ran rumor that the United States faked the moon landings. Your disdain for the American space program is all the evidence I need to warrant this assumption conclusive.

Prove me wrong.

Scott: you can play your space mind games all you want, but you will never convince me especially of what you think that we should believe. Carry on with your tricks.

Knotty, I don't think he would have expected any answers, period. His claims are all fantasies.

Just prove to me that a person could make it through the radiation belt around the earth in a ship with walls an 8th of a inch thick. It can't be done (a scientific fact) and no one has proven other wise, none of the post or the links.
I have already made my points here anyway, and I haven't seen anyone prove me wrong yet. No sense in continuing to argue when your talking to the wall. I'll just watch and continue to laugh. Great entertainment.
And your points ar wrong, wronger and wrongest!

WRT to the whole radiation belt thing, try reading what a real astronomer says: Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy: Bad TV

To wit:

Quote:
Bad: A big staple of the HBs is the claim that radiation in the van Allen Belts and in deep space would have killed the astronauts in minutes. They interview a Russian cosmonaut involved in the USSR Moon program, who says that they were worried about going in to the unknowns of space, and suspected that radiation would have penetrated the hull of the spacecraft.
Good: Kaysing's exact words in the program are ``Any human being traveling through the van Allen belt would have been rendered either extremely ill or actually killed by the radiation within a short time thereof.''
This is complete and utter nonsense. The van Allen belts are regions above the Earth's surface where the Earth's magnetic field has trapped particles of the solar wind. An unprotected man would indeed get a lethal dose of radiation, if he stayed there long enough. Actually, the spaceship traveled through the belts pretty quickly, getting past them in an hour or so. There simply wasn't enough time to get a lethal dose, and, as a matter of fact, the metal hull of the spaceship did indeed block most of the radiation. For a detailed explanation of all this, my fellow Mad Scientist William Wheaton has a page with the technical data about the doses received by the astronauts. Another excellent page about this, that also gives a history of NASA radiation testing, is from the Biomedical Results of Apollo site. An interesting read!
It was also disingenuous of the program to quote the Russian cosmonaut as well. Of course they were worried about radiation before men had gone into the van Allen belts! But tests done by NASA showed that it was possible to not only survive such a passage, but to not even get harmed much by it. It looks to me like another case of convenient editing by the producers of the program.
You people who believe that the Moon landing hoax was faked are, first off, too credulous, not too skeptical. If you were truly skeptics then you'd be able to differentiate between real data and people just blowing smoke up your asses. Secondly, because you've already decided the answer and you're only looking for data that (supposedly) supports your precious little worldview while ignoring anything that contradicts it. You're all just as pathetic as creationists.

Everything the American Government tells you is a lie. Or are they.

Speaking of comspiracies, they also lied about Area 51, it doesn't exist. Nuclear Weapons? Projector Screens and fancy CGI's. NASA? all smoke and mirrors.

I joined this forum with the specific purpose of refuting each and every claim made by Moon Landing conspiracy theorists, using the accepted science of today.

Hit me.

Hey man, you ever watched "The X-Files"? I enjoyed that series, even if it took me years to finally watch it. Now I'd have to catch up on the reruns, thanks to my DVR on the Sci-Fi and TNT channels.

Gotta tell you though, the Los Angeles Dodgers' AAA farm team based in Las Vegas, calls themselves the "51's", after that area north of Vegas. Crazy, isn't it? Las Vegas used to be called the "Stars" when they were a farm team of the Padres.
