Was the Moon Landing a Hoax?

On Wednesday 12th March we had two debates. My debate was on whether the moon landing was faked or not, I was on the side saying it was a hoax.
When we came in the five of us sat at different sides. Me, Lewis and Nicol sat on one side and Loui-Bo and Jason sat on the other side. First of all my group said our arguments. Our arguments included the way the American flag wave on the moon, the lack of an impact crater and that there were no stars on the pictures. The waving flag was the American flag, and how it waved when there is no atmosphere on the moon. The impact crater was when Apollo 11 landed, there was no crater or shapes showing where it had landed. The last thing was when you look at the footage and pictures there are no stars although there are billions of stars in the sky. Then Loui-Bo and Jason said their arguments, which were against our points, every time they said something we had too quickly think up an argument to counter it for when we could talk again.


After we had said our arguments, the audience , which included our class, Mrs Perry and some of our parents got a chance to ask the groups questions and my group got flooded with them. We kept answering against questions and then the parents would ask us more questions against what we had said. It got really complicated. Loui-Bo and Jason occasionally asked a question but they never got asked one, since everyone agreed with them anyway.
After the debate people voted, they all said the moon landing was not a hoax. Loui-Bo and Jason both got a small chocolate thing for an award. Even after the debate was finished more people started talking to us again, and we what that lasted about ten minutes until eventually it came lunch and we had to go. Was like a second debate. It was really fun doing the debates and I want to do another one at some point.
