            [WeeklyUniverse.com]  It
              may be that both Americans and Russians never flew to the Moon, because
              of
              a very simple thing:  Take-off after landing on the Moon (to return
              to Earth). 
            To take
              off, a spacecraft, both modern and of that time (1960-70s), needs a carrier
              rocket weighing many hundreds of tons, hundreds of tons of fuel for it,
              and a powerful space-vehicle launching site.  
            How to take
              all this with a spacecraft to be able to take off from the Moon after landing
              on it?  
            The mid-rank
              carrier rocket Ariane-5, for example, weighs 750 tons (the rocket itself
              and the fuel), and the "lite" carrier rocket Dnepr-1 (created based on
              the strategic intercontinental ballistic missile SS-18 Satan) weighs 211
              tons.  They develop the power of about 10-20mn KWt.  
            A rocket
              able to launch a spacecraft from the Moon should have the power of about
              6 times less than here on the Earth (as Moon gravitation is 6 times smaller),
              but even in this case the rocket would weigh about 750/6, i.e. about 125
              tons minimum (the rocket and the fuel), plus the weight of details for
              deploying a temporary launching site.  
            Even if
              the weight of these details equals to the minimum possible weight of about
              50 tons, then the spacecraft should be able to take with itself a minimum
              weight of ~175 tons. No such spacecraft were developed before the
              flight to the Moon, none even close to that; today's most powerful spacecraft's
              weight carrying capabilities couldn't approach even the numbers thrice
              smaller than this. (For example, one of the most modern Russian carrier
              rockets, Titan-4, which is approximately equal to the Space Shuttle carrier
            rocket by its parameters, is able to carry only about 17.5 tons of weight.) 
		  The official
              story of American flights to the Moon says that the larger command module
              rocket "Columbia" remained in lunar orbit while the lunar module "Eagle"
              separated and descended with firing retro rockets to the lunar surface. 
            The astronauts exited "Eagle" to take pictures and recover lunar material
              from the surface. They then returned to the lunar lander module to
              return back to the "Columbia" command module. The "Columbia" broke
              out of lunar orbit to go back to Earth and splash down with parachutes.  
            "Eagle"
              weighed about 16 tons, or about 5,500 pounds if we mean lunar gravity. To launch satellite of such a mass, at least an Ariane-5 class rocket is
              needed. But if even it is a Dnepr-1 class rocket, then the mass of
              rocket for launching 5,500 pound "Eagle" from the Moon would be about 35
              tons (211/6). Before launching "Eagle" from the Moon, a 35-ton rocket
              itself needs to be delivered to the Moon. (See above for delivering
              capacities
              even of modern spacecraft.)  
            Plus,
              launching satellites even of this mass requires deploying a launching site. How was such a site deployed on the Moon?  
            If even
              we suppose that several carrier rockets like "Columbia" could deliver all
              this to the Moon in several lunar module "Eagles" (seems this should have
              been a very hard task for such modules to land on the Moon since the Moon
              has no atmosphere, which diminishes the speed of similar modules when these
              land on the Earth), then how was, for example, the Lunar launching site
              deployed?  On-site by astronauts in spacesuits?  
            And why
              was all this praiseworthy process not shown on the photos or videos? 
              Where are photographs of such a praiseworthy achievement like the Lunar
              launching site?  
            And if
              somehow no launching site construction was required to take off from the
              Moon, why are there no photographs or videos of the spacecraft taking off
              from it? Wasn't it possible to take photos or videos of the spacecraft
              taking off from the Moon, from the "Columbia" rocket? 
            And if this
              was a hard technical task in those times, then why weren't at least preparations
              for this takeoff photographed or videotaped by astronauts on-site? Did the NASA astronauts return to "Columbia", "which remained in lunar
              orbit", using the rope that was hanging out of it?  
            And where
              are the Russian photographs and videos dedicated to their "Lunar takeoff"
              preparations? 
               
            
                
            
              
            Unless
              we assume that by 1969 NASA could build an antigravitation craft (aka antigrav,
              starcraft, starship, and flying saucer), for which all the described obstacles
              don't exist. (Such a device is not necessarily able to fly to stars;
              intersteller travel depends on the device's capacities, i.e. it is the
              starcraft's construction that determines whether it will be able to fly
              to stars, or only to the Sun system's planets and planet satellites.  
            Antigrav
              only means that the device uses antigravitation for flying (i.e., not wings,
              rotors, etc). Its velocity can vary from 10 meters per second to
              overlight speeds, depending on its capabilities.  
            This seems
              more plausible, taking into account that the American flag, and a plaque
              with inscriptions on it next to the flag, are reported, by many persons
              who visit observatories, to be clearly seen on the Moon surface. But this means NASA already had antigravs in the 1960s, and that it has
              them now...  
            Or did
              NASA borrow antigravs from an extraterrestrial civilization (Zetas Reticuli,
              hominoids from Orion, or maybe those who mutilate cattle)?  
            One detail
              suggests this might have occurred: one of the astronauts, during the first
              flight to be transmitted by television, said on air that he was seeing
              giant artificial objects.  
            Perhaps
              the aliens imposed this as a condition for NASA's lease of their craft:
              to have NASA astronauts say something on TV that would prove to viewers
              that the astronauts had met craft from another civilization?  
            This may
              be confirmed by the following fact: several years after the moon landing,
              the American Congress acknowledged the existence of extraterrestrials in
              a special report.  
             The NASA
              photo (see right), with its absolutely impossible (for the lunar landscape)
              shadows -- looking as if they were created with the use of multiple projectors
              shining at different angles -- is additional proof for a faked moon landing. Perhaps NASA, let's say, "feels ashamed" for the mystification, and therefore
              provided such photos as hidden hints?  
             Or, more
              probably, NASA provided contradictory materials to entangle all this more
              and more?  
            Or maybe
              NASA astronauts did visit the Moon (in the antigrav) and recorded all that
              which is claimed to be lunar photos and videos, but they were of such a
              poor quality due to some details of lunar atmosphere and climate that NASA
              decided to order new "better looking" photos/videos from Hollywood? Then we may understand why there are such errors in them...  
            I think
              Russians, shocked by such a "challenge" from NASA, in turn invented their
              own "success story" about "flying to the Moon" and "taking samples of lunar
              rocks" by their "unmanned" "Lunohods".  
            Or did
              Russians also create antigravs -- or receive them from another civilization?
