Moon Landing
Many people state that the whole moon landing in 1969 was a big hoax, coming up with numerous ideas to prove that it was all fake. Some say that the U.S. was desperate to win the Space Race so they acted it all out and made it seem like we were first on the moon. There has been some arguable evidence that it could be fake.
There have been a lot of people that call out on the idea that we landed on the moon, some which ideas are complex, and others which are kind of pointless. An example would be that if there's no wind, how did the U.S. flag look as if it was blowing in the wind? The answer to that is that after unrolling the flag, it retained it's wrinkly state, and they held it up with wire. Other questions are that there are no stars, which gets into photography, and how it's hard to get something bright, and dim in one picture because it didn't have enough dynamic range.
There are still astronauts alive that have been to the moon. Therefore, they can recall on their own personal experience of actually being to the moon. Also the 12 people that have landed on the moon brought back a total of 841 pounds of moon rock as proof. They found bits of glass in these rocks that shows evidence that there was volcanoes on the moon that were active. The shards of glass were extremely small, about .6 mm average. Without visiting the moon, getting rock, and bring it back we would be missing a lot of information regarding our moon.
I personally believe that we did land on the moon. Also that we didn't just film it from Hollywood to trick Russia. There are a lot of facts to each try of proving against it, trying to make it a hoax. So I think there is enough valid information to say it is true and it happened.

Other Life
If the universe is never ending, and that there are still countless galaxies unexplored, there has to be life somewhere else than on earth. Whether it's in our own galaxy, or another one light years away. This is a often studied topic whether by scientists or everyday people.
Scientists from Arizona State said that there may be many other Earth like planets, but they are on the edge of solar systems so their sun doesn't hit them with any sort of light. Between 20 and 60% of suns have our type of planet in their system. It is a possibility that life could have been there, or that a new age could start. We don't have enough technology to get out places light years away. We may have a lot of new technology soon though, since not to long ago, we thought the Earth was flat.
There have been many claims by numerous people that they have seen different life. Controversy about Area 51 and the government being so secretive about it makes many suspicious. Also that people say they have interacted with aliens too. Maybe that they were abducted or put back. There have been theories about how the aliens were created biochemically by the government and put on other planets to see how they react to the different planets.
It's almost unfair to say that we are the only life in the whole universe. With the endless number of different planets there has to be life out there somewhere else, so I personally think there is other life in a different galaxy or even in the Milky Way.
