Short Story

    After Neil Armstrong became the first man to ever walk on the moon, many news sources such as The Times, covered the historic event in their special 5 A.M. edition of London. The purpose of adding the article “Man Takes First Steps on the Moon,” in the edition was to inform the audience about the moon landing as well as explaining every event that happened throughout the 27 hour live broadcast. The Times appeals to ethos by being one of the biggest news sources to ever publish an article about the event. Additionally in “Man Takes First Steps on the Moon,” the article includes quotes from those who were a part of the moon landing to show their first hand experience. Aldrin, an astronaut states “We’ll get to the details of what’s around here. But it looks like a collection of every variety, shape, angularity, granularity; a collection of just about every kind of rock.” The

Some people have reason to believe that the dark interior of the space shuttle looked like the darkness of space, and the circular window gave the circular shape of the earth. The film also states that one of the astronauts used a crescent shape to alter the shape of the earth as they drifted farther into space. The consistency of the video was also at question. The film shows decent quality color video inside of the spaceship, but the film on the moon was black and white. Many conspiracy theorists claim that the video footage was leaked from NASA by accident. When the video footage was leaked conspiracy theorist dissected the footage and made a hypothesis of how the footage was produced. NASA says that every theory is false and they stand behind their statements firm.

Stanley Kubrick, the supposed director of the hoax, came out to a newspaper and conceded to directing the moon landing. Kubrick was interviewed four days before his death by T. Patrick Murray. Kubrick explains that the government wanted to fulfill “Kennedy’s prophecy”. Kubrick even verified that he had assisted in the making of Apollo 11 and Apollo 12. NASA attempts to push the conspiracy out of the way by saying there was an actor being Stanley in the interview.(Jon Austin)

Another piece of evidence says that in every background of a picture on the moon is exactly the same.This might mean that the moon landings were faked in a studio.This would mean that the background was

The United States and Mankind have gone on to do many amazing feats that were once though impossible. However, nothing comes to be quite as amazing as the Apollo 11 mission that landed the first men on the surface of the moon. At the time this act caused widespread celebration, and cheer. Over the years some people started to doubt the legitimacy of what occurred on that day back in 1969. These people came on to form the basis of the moon landing conspiracy theory. A theory that states that the United States never landed on the moon and the United States faked the whole thing in order to say they won the space race against the Soviet Union and increase moral during the time of the Cold war. Some of the core arguments that form the Moon landing Hoax conspiracy are that the mission would have been too dangerous with the technology we had at the time. They disregard any footage from the event, believing that NASA and the US government created a fake set in an undisclosed location and used special effects to make the footage seem more believable. All of the claims made by these hoax believers can be refuted with science and common sense, and that is what this paper sets out to do.

“Another Photograph Fueling the Moon Landing Conspiracy Theory” The Neil Armstrong Moon Landing: Hoax or Reality. April, 2011

Conspiracy theorists have pointed out that we did not land on the moon with many points such as the flag was moving. According to Josh Fox, one of several authors from Listverse, “ Photos of the landing also seem to show rippling in a breeze, which clearly shows a fold in the flag. The obvious problem here is that there’s no air

Apollo 11’s 1969 lunar landing was real. According to the article, ¨The Moon Landings Were Faked,¨ the flag was moving, even though there was no wind on the moon. This is because when the astronauts were planting the flagpole, they twisted it back and forth to better penetrate the moon soil. In other words, the flag was only moving because the astronauts were creating movement by twisting it. This means that the flag was not moving because of wind when there was no wind, it was moving because of the humans working with it. There were no stars in the picture. However, the article, “The Great Moon Hoax,” states, “It’s difficult to capture something very bright and something else very dim on the same piece of film.” To add on to this, the article

Skeptics of the success of Apollo 11 claim the appearance of the American flag waves

They say that a camera was placed on the moon, but it wasn’t. And that is because it was a fake moon in a fake moon landing!

It wasn 't until I really sat down and thought about it that I realized the moon landing was questionable. As a kid I always thought it would be amazing to be an astronaut so the thought that maybe there is no real astronauts at all had me concerned. On July 20th 1969, the Apollo 11 with astronaut Neil Armstrong and his crew, guided by thousands of NASA technicians, supposedly landed in the surface of the moon. This landing at its time was considered the most amazing technological advancement in the history of mankind. The moon landing is something that everyone knows about but as it turns out about 20% americans and 50% or Ukrainians don 't believe the moon landing really happened, here 's why.

Vacuum Myth-Conspiracy theorist think the moon landing footage is fake and some of the things they did are impossible to do on the surface of the moon(a vacuum). A photo captures the spaceman in full light climbing up a ladder while standing in a shadow. Conspiracy theorists believe there’s another light source that’s shining on him in order to create that effect. They tested this myth with and the photo looked exactly the same as NASA’s with just one light source.

This rumor is more than just speculation. Apparently, there are a series of pictures and reports out there suggesting that alien structures on the moon do exist. No only that, but NASA even launched a 2-ton weapon to destroy them. If this is true, that would violate all kinds of international laws. Hence, we have a big coverup on our hands. So instead of the truth, we get the agency's version of it, which is comical at best.

First, according to ozy.com, a personal explanation from a camera man explains how he shot the “fake” moon landing six months before it debuted.
