The post features the short clip of Aldrin being interviewed by a child, with the caption: “B#zz Aldrin admits the moon landing was fak€”. Aldrin has spoken and written extensively about his lunar landing experience and once punched a man who claimed it was hoax. The 54-second clip posted to Facebook on July 13 is taken from a 17-minute video in which Aldrin repeatedly talks about landing on the moon. More recently, a post from an Australian Facebook user on a flat earth group asserts former astronaut Buzz Aldrin admits in a video there was no moon landing. In 1980, the International Flat Earth Research Society’s president claimed Hollywood studios staged the landing, scripted by science fiction writer Arthur C. Normally, the sun is not the sole source of light on the moon because there is the lunar ground that reflects the sun’s light off the ground and this makes the shadows look wrong.Flat earthers have a long history of claiming the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969 was a hoax. Some theorists go further to claim that the shadows in the pictures are not right. However, scientists debunk this theory by stating that the astronauts were on the moon during daytime and due to the surface of the moon, the astronauts’ were illuminated brightly and thus the light of stars was not visible. Another counter reason to debunk the flapping flag theory is the fact that NASA made special flags for astronauts, which had a horizontal rod affixed to ensure the flag was upright.Ĭonspiracy theorists claim that there were no stars in the filmed landings. For example, it is not possible that over 400, 000 people would keep quiet about the moon landings being fake for over 50 years. Another reason to discredit the conspiracy theories is the fact that over 400, 000 people participated on the Apollo program. For example, most of the theorists do not have any aeronautic or engineering because they base their theories on small issues such as the lack of stars in the pictures and the flapping flag. The conspiracy theories were completely impossible because of the lack of originality in their assumptions. However, other sources discredit the moon landing hoax conspiracy theories by asserting that the theories lack scientific proof and facts. Allen claims that NASA sent robots to the moon but faked the manned missions because Apollo did not carry any lead shielding for the 27 astronauts to survive on the moon for many days. Marcus Allen refuted the moon landings by claiming that it is difficult to get people on the moon because of the dangerous levels of radiation on the moon. Some theorists claim the moon landing to be fake because there is no documentation of the whole process as well as the lack of stars in the images produced. In addition, the availability of solar flares, Van Allen radiations, cosmic rays and solar wind in space could not allow for the moon landing possibility. According to scholars, it is impossible to reach the moon because the technology used to send the team to the moon was lacking in several ways. The Chester Flat Earth Group claim that this staged event was to have control over people to make them believe we live on a globe. The Chester Flat Earth Group backs another instance purporting the moon landings to be fake by claiming that the moon landings were faked to form an illusion among the people. A good example is that conspiracy theorists claim that the shadows from the images captured on the moon were wrong. After the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced about their success on landing on the moon between 19, there has been controversial statements in the media about the moon landings.
