What are your thoughts on this? I remember watching the moon landing when I was a kid and accepted the belief that man landed on the moon. Now, as I've gotten older, I kind of wonder if it did happen because if it did, why haven't we (the United States) been back more often than we have?

Oh we did land on the moon, why haven't we been back? Money and it's much cheaper to send unmanned probes than what it is to equip a ship with life support 
The primary reason for not returning to the moon is that we realized there were no economic reasons to do so.
By the way it was the landing craft that landed - it was the men it contained that stepped on the surface after that happened. And for the conspiracy nuts and doubters recent satelite images actually show the foot prints and debris we left behind. Get a fucking life people!
Sending man to the moon was an extremely expensive, time-consuming, and very delicate project. Man was simply not meant for space, and because of that, keeping man alive in space requires tons of money, tons of equipment, and tons of resources. One tiny flaw can result in the death of an entire crew.
Being someone that plays a RP game called Space Station 13, I know how dangerous an air breach can be. Not only can you suffocate, but you can also freeze to death or be severely burned. Since space has no atmosphere, it's either ridiculously hot or colder than the lake of Cocytus.
There's a reflector on the moon that will respond to lasers when shot at it. It verifies that somebody put it there.
or maybe that is the alien base?
HEHEHEHEHEHE......
I don't think that America landed on the moon when they siad they did. The race with Russia made America fake it. I do however think that man has been on the moon since, but Mr Armstrong and co were not the first.

Well do you for an instant think the Russians would not have said something about a "fake" at the time. Certainly they were monitoring all activity in space and watching the moon event from their own facilities. They would not have passed up an opportunity to expose the U.S. had they had the goods on the supposedly ruse of the Americans.
Your rectal dysfunction is a result of having your head up your ass - just in case you where pondering where it went!
Yes I believe they landed on the moon but heck its more cheaper to send an unmanned shuttle than with people boarding it.
I find it incredulous that people question the validity of landing on the moon. As stated above, it is extremely expensive and dangerouos to have gone back since those few Apollo missions. But, plans are being formulated to return, not just by US, either. Have you noted the European Space Agency, Japan and India have sent probes to the moon. And don't think China is not in it either.
Gee, I wonder if these skeptics are the same that believe the world is flat or the holocaust did not occur.

I knew it, my cat really was abducted and taken to the moon!!
I'd like those who don't believe to actually produce some proof that it never happened......

But that would actually take some effort on their part to back up their claims

Kind of like the "Virgin Birth" concept. I wanted to claim that during my divorce proceedings - but the fact was the bitch was just a cheap whore after my money so it was difficult to argue that one!
Christians call it a Miracle, I call it "Blatant violation of the laws of physics." XD
Oh we of little or no faith are certainly doomed to repeat the journey or burn in hell fire!

I'll take on that role. Watched these videos long ago and watched them again for the sake of posting. It's a long 5 part video but I'll just post the first. For me, I'll quote what an astronaut had said in this video. I cannot be 100% sure that we landed on the moon. The video did point out a lot of inconsistencies. No blasting crater, the wind blowing the American flag, no stars in the background and the very possibility that NASA COULD have made those moon shots somewhere else. The possibility that IF it was a hoax, they have the capability to do it.
As to the question, why didn't we go back? Yes, very good point. Why didn't we? Economic reasons? It's very expensive? It's not a reason that would really stop man from going there. Man is ambitious. Man is an explorer. It's certainly a surprise to me why we didn't go back, now that we have better means in doing so.
We did go back.
From the Wikipedia:
| Apollo 11 | Saturn V | Neil Armstrong,Michael Collins,Edwin A. "Buzz" Aldrin | 16 July 1969 | Lunar landing | Success - first manned landing on the Moon (manual landing required), exploration on foot in direct vicinity of landing site |
| Apollo 12 | Saturn V | Charles "Pete" Conrad,Richard Gordon, Alan Bean | 14 November 1969 | Lunar landing | Success - mission almost aborted in-flight after lightning strike on takeoff caused telemetry loss, successful landing within walking distance (less than 200 meters) of the Surveyor 3 probe |
| Apollo 13 | Saturn V | Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, Fred Haise | 11 April 1970 | Lunar landing | Failure [7] - problematic oscillations on start, unrelated explosion in service module during Earth-Moon transition caused mission to be aborted - crew took temporary refuge in lunar module and eventually returned to Earth with command module after single pass around Moon and made it through reentry. |
| Apollo 14 | Saturn V | Alan B. Shepard, Stuart Roosa, Edgar Mitchell | 31 January 1971 | Lunar landing | Success - software and hardware problems with lunar module almost caused landing abort during lunar orbit, first color video images from the Moon, first materials science experiments in space |
| Apollo 15 | Saturn V | David Scott,Alfred Worden,James Irwin | 26 July 1971 | Lunar landing | Success - first longer (3 days) stay on Moon, first use of lunar rover to travel total of 17.25 miles (27.76 km), more extensive geology investigations |
| Apollo 16 | Saturn V | John W. Young,Ken Mattingly,Charles Duke | 16 April 1972 | Lunar landing | Success - malfunction in a backup yaw gimbal servo loop almost aborted landing (and reduced stay duration on Moon by one day to three for safety reasons), only mission to target lunar highlands |
| Apollo 17 | Saturn V | Eugene Cernan, Ronald Evans, Harrison H. "Jack" Schmitt | 7 December 1972 | Lunar landing | Success - last (and still most recent) manned landing on the Moon, only mission with geologist |
Okay. My bad. Like Tongyun said, why didn't we go back more often than we should have. (Reasons, yeah I know. Ha ha!). But anyway, I retain what I said. I cannot say with 100% certainty that we landed on the moon...
I do believe we made history by landing on the moon. However we didn't possess the real information about Moon's mineral wealth. Now after having the real moon samples it is found that they might hold potential for future energy use of Earth. Irrespective of the fact whether moon has energy or not it still remains far beyond our capability to make the man live in moon permanently.
I too don't understand how some people don't think we landed on the moon. We obviously did, and if you can't accept that, you are just paranoid.
haha, i didn't know conspiracy theories could go that far.
Next time they claim we didn't land on the moon, I'll wait for another Lunar landing and buy myself a damn good telescope. Then I'll know for sure if it's real or if they fake it. XD
Still won't help, there's people out there who still believe the Earth is flat, they're called the Flat Earthers.
Lets tie them to the front of a really fast plane bound east for a day or so. XD
I think they're a parody who only pretend to take it seriously, which throws a lot of groups into doubt, I mean, look at the Pastafarians.
just because the Chinese faked theirs it doesn't mean the lunar landing was fake... right?

Christians make me go Lol

MythBusters did a special episode on this on The Discovery Network last year.
http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/mythbusters-moon-hoax/
Case closed....
I watched this on discovery channel and hell yeah! This case is closed and proven by the team of myth busters.
this has been debunked loads of times:
conspiracy theorists can be so full of shit sometimes,
