Moon landing conspiracy theorist details ‘undeniable proof Apollo 11 mission was faked’

There is “undeniable proof that the Moon landing was fake”, according to one of the world’s leading conspiracy theorists.

Monday, July 20, marked 51 years to the day since NASA’s Apollo 11 Space Mission crewed by Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin landed on the Moon, the first time humans had ever managed to do so.

As the world watched in complete awe, Armstrong uttered the now-immortal line: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

The incredible feat of human accomplishment seemed almost too good to be true, and according to some that’s exactly what it was.

Before long, Moon landing conspiracy theories began to take hold, with many cropping up in the 1970s, after the Apollo Programme had come to an end.

The first lengthy conspiracy theory about the Moon landing was in the self-published book We Never Went to the Moon, 1974, by Bill Kaysing.

He was a technical writer at space contractor Rocketdyne in the 1950s, and died in 2005.

The former US navy officer insisted the Moon landings were filmed at a production studio in Area 51.

He claimed he had inside knowledge of a government conspiracy to fake the Moon landings.

Now, in a recently resurfaced video which has been posted on YouTube titled ‘Undeniable Proof that the Moon Landing was Fake’, well known conspiracy theorist Kaysing says, with his years of experience working in the industry, that the lunar lander would have left an “enormous crater” on the moon.

He said: “Having seen hundreds of rocket firings when I was employed by Rocketdyne, I know the jet of the lunar lander would have created an enormous crater.

“It would have scoured the Moon’s surface, it would have tossed up rocks, sand, everything and created a crater maybe so large that the entire lunar lander could have sunk into it.

“After all we are dealing with a 10,000lb thrust engine which is pointed directly at the surface, lowered into the surface and yet if you look at pictures of the lunar lander on the moon there is no disturbance whatsoever under the lunar lander’s rocket.”

Kaysing added that not only should there be a crater where the spacecraft landed, but dust would have been blown “six ways from Sunday and would have landed everywhere”.

He adds that the noise made by the spacecraft would have also made it impossible for Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, to be heard while he was recording the landing.

“Here’s Armstrong talking about landing on the moon with a microphone and yet he is practically sitting on top of a rocket engine that is putting out sound levels of 140 or 150 dB.

“Now, we know that that is absolutely impossible to overcome that sound level inside the lunar lander with a normal human voice.”
