I think your friend has been hoaxed.

Playing the devil's advocate, if you weren't one of the 12 astronauts that walked on the moon, how could you really be sure everything wasn't staged?

I can't really be sure that a cow never jumped over it either.

I agree we cant really know if the moon landing happened. I will say one thing though, all my knowledge of cows suggests its improbable that a cow coulda jumped the moon.... a kangaroo might have a better chance lol

ahh, good ol' Bad Astronomy... another nasty atheist blog, just like Pharyngula

A not uncommon belief among poorer parts of our population.

Show me the flag.

Neil Armstrong lives about 5 miles from me. Who wants to come over? We can all go over to his house, knock and ask.

hes gonna say it happened either way isnt he... prolly not the best source.

Do you REALLY think he'd answer the door if WE were with you? ;-)

can we have this question again with 4 choices very likely to very unlikely

That such a high percentage of responders think that the moon landing was a hoax indicates that many of the opinions on this site are worthless.

A hoax would have required hundreds of people to participate. So the deniers think that so many could have kept the secret for 40 years? In the US?

I disagree. You would probably get a similar ratio if you asked if aliens landed at Roswell. If it's not a serious question, don't expect a serious answer.

In fact, just search for "aliens" on this site. Thirty-five percent think there are aliens among us. If you asked these same people if the devil has horns or if angels have halos they would probably say "yes" just to humor you, just as they did when asked if there are aliens among us or if the moon landings were a hoax.

The bottom line is not that any of these people's opinions are worthless, it's the questions that are often worthless.

There are certainly aliens among us in Sweden. 45,000 Iraqis have come here in the last year alone.

I don't know how many have moved here. I bet it would be interesting to look up.

Now maybee I should ask how many that believe it was a hoax are dems. High percent I bet. But a question like that would never work.
