  1. Moon Landing Conspiracy Theories

  2. The Big Idea Took place July 16, 1969 (Apollo 11) conspiracy theorists say that the moon landings were hoaxed by the US government to ensure their victory in the space race over Russia idea that has grown strongly in popularity over time

  3. The Waving Flag Conspiracy theorists have pointed out that when the first moon landing was shown on live television, people could clearly see the American flag waving as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin planted it Pictures also show what may be a breeze and a fold in the flag However, there's no air in the Moon's atmosphere. no air, no wind!

  4. Lack of Impact? No crater is visible under the lunar module to mark its landing

  5. Light Sources Sun is only strong light source on the Moon most pictures from the moon landing clearly show that shadows fall in different directions theorists think it is possible that multiple light sources were present, saying the pictures were taken on a film set

  6. The Van Allen Radiation Belt to reach the moon astronauts had to pass through what is known as the Van Allen radiation belt held in place by Earth's magnetic field sheer levels of radiation would have cooked the astronauts on their way to the moon

  7. The Mysterious Object odd spotlight-like object in the reflection of an astronaut's helmet from the Apollo 12 mission appears to be hanging from a rope overhead spotlight typically found in film studios

  8. Slow Motion and Wires apparent low-gravity conditions if you take the moon landing footage and increase its speed x2.5, the astronauts move in Earth's gravity astronauts were carried by thin wires and filmed jumping around

  9. No Stars! total lack of stars in any of the photographic and video evidence from the moon landings no clouds on the moon, so stars are always visible and very much brighter than what we normally see as stars did photographers make a huge mistake and forget to "turn on the stars"?

  10. The "C" Rock one of the most famous pictures from the moon landing a rock with the letter "C" engraved into it it has been suggested that the rock is just a prop, with the "C" used as a marker from "film crew"

  11. The Duplicate Backdrop two photos from the Apollo 15 mission clearly have identical backdrops, despite being listed by NASA as having been taken miles away

  12. Discussion Questions Do you believe the conspiracy theories are true? In your opinion, of the evidence just presented, what part seems the most suspicious? If the theories were true, how do you think the government would keep the people involved in them from talking?
