Never-before-seen photos of Apollo missions squash conspiracy theories about ‘fake Moon landing’…

NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN images from the Apollo mission are debunking decades-old conspiracy theories about man landing on the Moon.

For decades, one of the biggest conspiracy theories is that Nasa faked the Moon landings.

However, a 2022 project dubbed Apollo Remastered debunks this theory by showing never-before-seen details of the historic events of the Apollo Missions.

For the project, imaging specialist Andy Saunders digitally remastered and restored the original flight film from these missions, which spanned 1968 to 1972.

The images show Nasa astronauts driving the Lunar Roving Vehicle, the first car on the moon, scenes from inside the rocket, and lunar material.

Taking center stage in many of the photos is views of the Moon’s surface and more. 

However, one of the most notable images in the collection is the now-famous photograph of Neil Armstrong on the Moon.

Before the restoration, there was no image clearly showing the Nasa astronaut on the natural satellite.

The first clear photo of life inside the tragic Apollo 13 mission is also included in the collection.

Saunders sifted through 35,000 images for nearly 10 years for the project.

And now over 400 of these images have been collated into his new book of the same name: Apollo Remastered.

Last Year, Saunders told USA TODAY there are “incredible” photographs from the missions.”

However, many haven’t been seen “because the quality wasn’t there”, prior to remastering.

“But with digital enhancement, suddenly now we can see things that we couldn’t see before, and they’re amazing images,” he said.  

“The events have just become more incredible as time goes,” he added. “To achieve this today would be incredible, but to do it 50 years ago is just wow.”

The collection of images is described as the “highest quality Apollo photographs”, and the “most complete photographic record of these historic missions ever published,” per the promotional webpage.
