Did Neil Armstrong actually land on the moon?

This is an extremely big question asked by people all over the world, Did man actually walk on moon? I have been researching video's on youtube, until today i thought man 100% did land on the moon but now i think otherwise. It is a proven fact that just over 20% of Americans don't think that man walked on moon, why? You ask, well i am going to tell you. Back in 1969 Neil Armstrong was apparently landing on the moon but in the 1990's some very intelligent scientists were looking back on the moon landing trying to see how it was so possible when they found a number of mistakes that nobody had noticed before. The main mistake that pointed out at me was that when they were placing the American flag down on the moons surface, the flag was blowing but there was no atmosphere on the moon. Everybody knows that they saw the rocket go into space with the astronauts in it, but  apparently they went into space and orbited the earth for 8 days while there was actors making the moon landing film on earth in a place called area 51,when scientists were looking at the moon landing the moon looked very very similar to area 51 where the actors in their spacesuits shot the moon landing. Another huge mistake of the apparent moon landing was that, in the background  there were no stars in the sky, there are a lot more mistakes in the moon landing but i'd recommend you to go watch some of the youtube videos about this to get a lot more information. Was the moon landing faked....nasa deny everything that the scientists say about the moon landing being faked. I did not mean to offend anybody in this but i just think that it is very interesting, let me know your thoughts in the comments below the text!

Constellations

What are constellations? Constellations are stars in the sky that all have different names, it is a very confusing method. Stars can be named after different mythological characters!

Star Trek and Star Wars

Star Trek has always been an incredibly popular show for years and years. It is about battles in space and it can be very good, it is very like a slightly more popular movie franchise called Star Wars, star wars have made a lot of money over the years for a great series of movies that is also set in space. People often get star wars and star trek mixed up but they are both great in their own ways!

Planet Mars

Mars is often called the red planet. The ground there is covered in dusty red soil, which gets swept up by the wind to make pink clouds! The rocks on Mars have lots of iron in them, and iron goes red when it rusts. A better name for Planet Mars might be the rusty planet!

How Do Astronauts?.......

You may wonder what astronauts eat in space but the truth is the food they eat up their is the same food that we eat down here on planet earth, but in plastic containers. What do you think astronauts wear in space? They wear orange space suits for awhile but after that when they are settled they wear  the exact same clothes as they would down here on planet earth. How do you think astronauts wash themselves in space, well the truth is they don't have any water in space so they can clean themselves with alcohol or they can wipe themselves with a towel that has liquid soap on it. People can wonder how do astronauts go to the toilet in space? Well the answer is actually very simple, they have a toilet on the space shuttle so they can use that, it is basically the same as your average toilet on earth but they have to fasten themselves to it so they don't float away. You could wonder what do astronauts do for fun in space? They do the exact same things they would do on earth, so they would just bring phones, books, TV's, and anything they do in their spare time on earth. Well there you have it, that is how astronauts live in space.

Will the Universe end?

Some astronomers think the universe will just carry on getting bigger as the galaxies speed apart. Others think that the galaxies may some day start falling back towards each other until they crash together in a huge crunch ending the universe forever.

Space Suits

Space suits are very important, there's no air to breathe in space and depending on whether a spacecraft is in or out of the sun's light, its either very hot or very cold. Without space suits to protect them outside their spacecraft, astronauts would die.

N.A.S.A

the word NASA stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration, it was established in 1958 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. It was set up to help astronauts go up into space. NASA also have their own flag which you will see down below. NASA is a very important place, without it how would Yuri Gagarin go into space and how would Neil Armstrong land on the moon and how could many of the astronauts that we have today go up to space, thanks to NASA all of this was possible!

Gravity Movie

Gravity is a brand new movie coming to cinema, it looks like a very good movie and full of action. It stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as the main stars of the movie. The movie is said to be the best movie of the year. It is about a woman who gets caught up in space and it is her fight for survival

The Sun

The Sun, the perfect thing in everybody lives, it keeps us warm and helps plants grow and does a lot of different things for humans. The sun is 15 million degrees Celsius and it is fair to say that nobody wants to get to close to that. The sun also uses gas to help it. People ask will the sun ever run out and it will but not for another 5 billion years

The Stars

I'm pretty sure everybody knows what the stars are, the bright beautiful twinkling things in the night sky that are triangle but the truth is that they are not even triangle at all, they really are round, and they are not solid like the ground beneath your feet. Instead, they are made of gases like the air around you. The two main gases in stars are called hydrogen and helium. They are the stars fuel. Stars make heat and light from them. Its good to look up at the stars because lets be fair they look amazing.

The Moon

The Moon is that beautiful thing you see in the sky at night time, it is white and blackish, it looks small from where you are but it amazingly huge. The first man on the moon was named Neil Armstrong and he was very brave for going up to the moon, he was born on August 5th 1930 and he died in August 25 2012, he will go down in history. The moon is 384,400km away from the earth and that is why it looks so small. The moon orbits the earth. It is 4.527 billion years old. The moon can also look a different colour from earth when the earth comes between the moon and the sun which happens very rarely. I hope you enjoyed this paragraph about the moon I will be telling you more very shortly so stick around.

Earth

Planet Earth is an amazing place,if you are reading this you are more than likely on Planet earth and if you are reading this, stick around because this blog is going to be about space and all the planets in space. Years ago most people thought that the earth was flat but it turned out it was not and it was completely round because Yuri Gagarin went up to have a little look. On the 12th of April 1961 he completed an orbit of the earth. Yuri died on the 27th of March 1968. Earth does obviously have living things on it, it has animals and humans which have been here for many years. Is there anything else out there, up in space, nobody knows for sure but many people believe that there are living creatures called aliens out there but I will talk about that some other time.
