Moon Landing Conspiracy Theories Explained

saying the government faked the moon landing was basically it was technically impossible to do it.

And they simply had to come up with some sort of alternative that they felt the public would believe.

I believe, had they wanted to, that NASA could indeed have pulled off the greatest hoax of all time,

never sent anyone to the moon, and recreated it in a television studio.

Can you realize that we, that you and I, that all of us, have actually begun the exploration of another world?

The United States Geological Survey decided to build a model of one part of the lunar surface in an area accessible to present research

Reflections of studio lights, accidental movie props, repeating backdrops.

There's a lot of evidence suggesting that the moon landing wasn't filmed on the moon, but on a soundstage.

The lunar module engine puts out 3,000 pounds of thrust,

and the lunar surface is covered with dust that was described as fine powder.

If that's true, why did the engine leave no mark on the surface?

And shouldn't there be dust everywhere?

Even the footpads are clean and shiny.

So either the landing module was sitting there,

or it was gently lowered down by a crane.

And you'd have to lower the thing gently.

Look at it. It looks like tin foil and curtain rods held together by duct tape.

More evidence that a crane was used is when the astronauts separate from the module and return to orbit for pickup.

Look at this.

The module separates, and the astronauts gently lift back to orbit.

And look how slowly it moves.

Where's the rocket plume from the engine?

What's allowing this to fly all the way to orbit? If you watch the footage closely, it looks like the object is wobbling a little on cables or wires.

By the way, who shot this footage? There was no camera remote control,

but somehow the scene is framed perfectly. They're zooming in and out.

The camera tracks the object up into the sky, but conveniently loses the object when it gets too high. But the camera does pan around the surface.

Who's working the camera?

Now speaking of cables and wires,

look at this footage.

Does this look natural? Or does it look like he's being

Then there's this footage of Neil and Buzz putting up the American flag.

But if they were both on the moon's surface, who's shooting the footage?

And how is the flag waving if there's no atmosphere on the moon?

Now, sure, we've been told that there was an aluminum tube holding up the flag, but it seems to be moving around a lot.

Now here's a picture of what an Apollo astronaut's spacesuit looked like.

But look at the soles of the shoes.

They don't look anything like the footprints the astronauts supposedly made in the lunar dust.

And what about the heat?

The surface temperature on the moon during the day is over 250 degrees Fahrenheit.

That's as hot as an oven.

The film inside their cameras should have melted.

But there are thousands of pictures that all came out perfectly fine.

Well, fine, except for the whole wrong shadows, no stars, movie props, visible lights and stuff being hoisted by cranes. Right.

Except for that. And there are plenty of photos that are flat out doctored.

If you remember our episode on NASA's Mars cover up, we proved that the photos of Mars were altered before being released to the public.

This is a technique perfected during Apollo.

The Apollo handheld cameras had special crosshairs on them called reverse so marks.

And these were here to help make sure the photos were printed properly from the negatives and not distorted and to make it easier to stitch photos together for panoramas.

But in some of the photos, the crosshairs aren't there or are only in part of the picture.

In other photographs, objects appear in front of the crosshairs.

Now, that's physically impossible unless the objects were added after the photo was taken by layering them on top of empty backgrounds.

And there are even more problems with the photography.

Here's a picture of an Apollo astronaut saluting the American flag.

But look at his feet.

The shadows don't even reach them.

It's like he was edited in later and somebody forgot to add a shadow.

Now, even if we could explain all these anomalies in the photos,

there's a big reason why nobody can get to the moon,

a reason why human beings can't leave Earth at all.

At least not yet.

The reason is real and scientifically proven as fact.

Radiation.
