If you believe that the moon landing was real, then you probably believed that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq! Just because the government says it is so...does not necessarily make it truth. The country was up to its neck in an unpopular war and the government needed a major distraction for its people to continue its senseless war.

Americans love competition and to invent a space race to the moon with the Russians was an ingenious way to get American's minds off the war and onto something much bigger and less destructive. So they masterminded the unforgettable space race of the 1960's. All of America's, and the world's attention was diverted from the horrible realities of war to the all encompassing show of "The race to the Moon!"

I am not an expert in astronautics, or rocket science, and I am barely old enough to remember those events that occurred in history as I was born in 1964. But I am now old enough to do research, and make common sense deductions with the evidence available today. Seeing as this is just a debate, please consider this is just my opinion and not based on anything else but what I determined from my unprofessional research on the Internet. Trust me, the first thing that people always say is if you found it on the Internet, it can't be true...not with all the crap out there that people post. But within all the crap, there is also truth...you have to be able to form your own conclusions, and trust your instincts or intuition to come up with a reasonable conclusion.

Why would I join the ranks of the conspiracy theorists, and go against an overwhelming majority that believe the moon landing was real? I don't know, maybe I just like the underdogs, or a good argument. But mostly, because I go with my gut feelings, and that little voice in my head that questions everything. I am what some call a "doubting Thomas", or relate to people from Missouri..."The Show Me State."

Its easy to join the moral majority, and accept everything that the government tells us is the truth. But the more I learn about our government, and its hidden agendas, the more I do not trust what they spew out as propaganda. And believe me, a lot of you can agree with me on that point with the current condition our country is in.

So here are just a few important details I found in my search about the supposed moon landing. First and foremost is I do not believe that back in the 1960's we had the technology to pull off such a tremendous feat. I do not believe that we
