Was the Moon Landing a Hoax … Conspiracy Nuts Seem to think So … NASA Accidentally Erased the Original Video footage … LRO first imagery of the Apollo moon landing sites
After all these years, could the moon landing have been a fake? Some conspiracy, tin foil hat types seem to think so. 40 years after the Apollo moon landing some seem to think that the greatest technological accomplishment of the 20th century was a fake.
“I do know the moon landings were faked,” said crusading filmmaker Bart Sibrel, whose aggressive interview tactics once provoked Aldrin to punch him in the face. “I’d bet my life on it.”
I so enjoy talking about the lunar landing being a fake, not because I believe in it, but because any time I can use the below footage of 72 year old Buzz Aldrin pasting Bart Sibrel in the mouth … its a good day.
So what are some of the conspiracy theorists saying? They certainly have creative minds. If the plot sounds familiar to anyone, it should. It is almost the exact story line of the 1978 movie, Capricorn One.
