If it wasn't possible to better the Soviets in the space race, which was really a race of technology armaments, what could be done?

How could America offset the threat of superior weaponry? Throughout the history of rivalry and war, astute generals of lesser armies than their counterparts have used deceit and misinformation as a method to achieve victory.

Surrounding the earth, beginning at an altitude of 1,000 miles and extending an additional 25,000 miles, lie lethal bands of radiation called the Van Allen Radiation Belts.

Every manned space mission in history (including Mercury, Gemini, Soyuz, Skylab and the Space Shuttle) has been well below this deadly radiation field...all except Apollo.

Recently uncovered footage of the crew of Apollo 11 staging part of their mission proves that the astronauts never made it beyond earth orbit. The goal was to fool the Soviet Union about US strategic capability during the height of the Cold War. Deceit, Greed, and Injustice... A sad thing happened on the way to the moon. The truth will astound you!

  1. I personally, wouldn't give these denier clowns the satisfaction. They aren't going to listen to facts or reason. There is so much evidence against their claims, they just ignore it, and pretend it doesn't exist.

  2. Silly documentary, hopefully no one will believe this trash. Everything on here is deceitful. Most skeptics won't bother to look up the facts, they might actually learn something. All claims on here is EASILY explained. Sadly, there are many who still hold this nonsense as factual, but are unaware of what a liar Bart is. He's not an expert in anything.

  3. If anyone took the time to look up Bart Sibrel, they would learn he's nothing more than a con man. I understand, people still think man never landed on the moon, mainly due to poor research, and paranoia. It's also about ego with the hoax crowd. Once they learn their hero Bart is a fraud, and a liar, they will look stupid. Unfortunately, they have invested too much time in this stupid conspiracy, so they cannot turn back now. No evidence ever existed of any "fakery" what does exist is a load of misinformation being spread by idiots like Bart.

  4. Does anyone actually still believe this video? Everything said on here is EASILY explained, and does not stand up to scrutiny when examined. Skeptics are very persistent, and have a hard time with science and facts.

  5. There were several missions to the moon, not just one. Many deniers get that wrong numerous times. They stopped going due to lack of funding, and and interest. NASA went on to other things, like the international space station, and the space shuttle. Had anything been faked, someone someplace would have spoken up. Deniers come up with all sorts of things to make themselves look smart. No moon landing hoax evidence ever existed. Poor research, and believing in conspiracy theories help fuel this nonsense.

  6. Even IMDb has reviews on this work of fiction, and most know it's a load of lies. Sibrel and his claims are easily debunked.

  7. Some deniers will claim we all need to be open minded. Yes! I agree, however, once you sort through all the facts, it's easy to understand, all hoax claims, are silly, and childish. Most skeptics, aren't interested in anything factual, as they lack critical thinking, and refuse to all facts that are put in front of them. Hoax claims do not stand up to scrutiny when they are examined. You cannot reason with a skeptic, they simply will ignore everything you say, and say they are right, and all the thousands of scientists and experts are wrong. ( Laughter is permitted) Bart Sibrel is basically a con man, and an ex taxi driver. His video is so flawed it's not even funny anymore. If the flag was waiving in the wind, why didn't the director just say "cut?" Silly .. the outer edges of the flag have a rod inside,not keep the flag up. If not, it would be just like on earth, it would flop down. Now, it appears to be waiving, only because the astronauts are securing it into the moons surface, so it swings like a pendulum. It's called physics, something hoaxers and other self appointed experts apparently missed.

  8. A majority of deniers, come to sites and look for attention. There is no proof that supports any of their silly claims. Unfortunately many refuse all help, and just ignore facts.

  9. The moon landings were faked. Source...."Trust me bro" Ignore the deniers, many are looking for attention. They are to lazy to do an internet search but come here to act smart. All the answers to their questions are available online. No hoax evidence exists.

  10. Google has plenty of information, explaining every question. This is a documentary, that is plagued by mistakes, and false innuendoes. Basically, it's a pack of easily debunked lies. There were 9 missions total, six were manned. Samples were brought back, and examined by scientists, from all over the globe. They are genuine, scientists tell by the tests, to determine, if they past through earths atmosphere. They are not from Antarctica as some may claim. Skeptics seem to have an answer for every fact presented. They have spent years down this hoax rabbit hole, and they are in it to deep to get out. All of this information is available online to anyone wishing to educate themselves. No hoax evidence exists. What does exist, are loads of speculation, lies, and bad science. Be careful what sites you look at.

  11. I remember this video, we studied it in school, and went over all it's inconsistent claims. I hope no one actually believe this! It's bad science.

  12. Nonsense video, way too many errors. Many of the claims, are inaccurate, and foolish. I'm not going into all it's mistakes, but people should be smart enough to know it's filled with false claims, after they do a little online research. This fake moon landing junk has been going on for decades, and the Internet helped fuel some of peoples doubts. I'm sure any fakery would have been all over the news by now. There were several trips to the moon, someone would have spoken up, regardless of how many people were involved. This is just common sense. There are numerous claims by the skeptics, way too many to go through. People just love conspiracies, and they don't stop to think, that what they believe, could be wrong. I urge any skeptical person, just be open minded, the very thing I hear from deniers all the time, be open minded on BOTH sides. The actual story, AND the conspiracy. It won't take long to expose the lies of the hoax. There are literally dozens of credible sites answering all of your questions. The problem is, many won't accept the truth, even when shown the evidence.

  13. The part where they claim the flag is blowing in the wind, is nonsense. It is due to inertia, and swings like a pendulum, only when they are touching it. Now the flag does have a metal rod in its outer edges to give the appearance of it waiving, only because otherwise, like here on earth, without a wind what happens? It will flop down, and that doesn't make for a great photo. Bart is a con man, and is not showing the entire video, which was basically the astronauts practicing for a tv broadcast. So he cuts off part of it, and shows you what he believes to be them "faking " the tv transmission. I'm really surprised hoax believers don't do better research, and learn how these dumb sites feed you exactly what you want to hear. This videos claims have been debunked ages ago, and are laughable to this day. Remember skeptics, do you honestly think NASA is going to make these kind of silly mistakes if they were trying to fool anyone? Not a chance.

  14. With all the available facts online to support all the moon missions, it's hilarious to think there are still uninformed people believing all the misinformation claiming it all never happened. Most deniers, aren't experts, so they just believe a few videos, that tell them exactly what they want to hear, and guess what? They believe it, without question. Forget trying to educate someone, as they will only claim we are all swallowing the NASA lies etc. All of the hoax beliefs, are very easy to debunk, and none of their claims can actually stand up to scrutiny when examined. Of course, the usual people will still claim they are right, and everyone else is a sheep. Well, don't bother arguing, I promise it won't do any good. Sibrel is a loon, it's that simple.

  15. What's to say that hasn't been said a million times? The landings happened. All of the claims made by the conspiracy crowd, simply doesn't stand up to scrutiny. As for this video, it's a load of trash. There are numerous errors, and lies by Bart Sibrel. He is no expert on anything. How people believe what he says, is unbelievable. No, I'm not AI by the way. Some skeptics of the landings, simply can't handle the truth that they are wrong, and showing them evidence will not change their mind. They will only say it's "fake" or the people were paid to lie. You cannot win. Remember if you argue with a fool, then you wind up with 2 fools arguing.

  16. The mentality of all moon landing deniers ....." I don't understand how it's possible to land on the moon, therefore, all missions were faked".

  17. Conspiracy believers love to feel superior to others, believing they have discovered the "truth", while the rest of the sheeple have been duped into believing the "cover story" the lunar reconnaissance orbiter did indeed take high resolution pictures of the landing sites, however, why bother? They will only say they are fake pictures. Just like the samples brought back from the moon, will be labeled as fake as well. Pretty much anything that goes against their theories is wrong. Being Open minded is always welcome, but get educated before jumping to conclusions. I've been to a national air and space museum, and it's very interesting learning about space, and Rocket technology. It's not about attacking "free thinking" it's about getting your facts straight. Hate the government all you like, but the landings are factual, and that's all there is to it. No one is spoon feeding you anything.

  18. Deniers must belittle one of man greatest achievements, in order to add significance, to their otherwise insignificant lives. There were 6 missions from 1969 to 1972. No evidence however, is going to convince hardcore skeptics.

  19. When talking credibility, moon landing deniers should be the last ones to talk. Barts little amateur twaddle, is filled with lies, false claims and scientific blunders. The flag isn't "waiving in the wind" it's swinging like a pendulum due to inertia. Remember from school? The outer edges of the flag contain a metal rod to make the flag stand up, and look like it's blowing in a breeze, otherwise just like here on earth, with no wind, the flag will just droop, who's won't make for good photos. Let's also discuss some facts, there were six manned missions. Why fake it that many times, and risk getting caught? You wouldn't. Second, there were thousands of photos taken, plus hundreds of hours of videos. Sounds like an awful lot to go through for a hoax. Next, we have coroboration by Russia along with other countries. Years back, the lunar reconnaissance orbiter took photos of the landing sites. (Although I'm sure many will just claim those are fake). We also have the rock samples taken from the moons surface, and brought back. They were examined by scientists from all over the world. They ran tests, and proved they are genuine, and not from earth. Surely, any fakery would have been exposed by a whistleblower. The landings are also in the history books as well. More lies right? You bet lol. Lastly, it's not about trusting the government, it's about hard scientific facts. There is mountains of evidence to prove we landed on the moon, the problem is what evidence hoax believers will accept. Usually, it's anything that goes against their beliefs. Basically, you are not open minded, if you don't believe their was a hoax.

  20. Almost every comment is an insecure denouncement of the mere proposition of a hoax. These cretins proudly and unapologetically , drank the kool aid. And rather than risk challenging their paradigm OR “God forbid!” opening their minds and giving the movie a chance, its all ad-hom attacks on all of free thought. I cannot grasp how people think it seems cool to defend intelligence and government agencies, let alone live with themselves. Tbh, these comments are prolly 95% AI generated, but i know that theres at least a few are those “open minded” $hit-libs, exercising their compassion and kindness and tolerance. Lmao.

  21. I still don't know what motivates some people to believe every major event in history has been a hoax. There is no evidence of any fakery. The "evidence" some claim as proof, is misinformation. It's that simple.

  22. Sometimes I wonder if these nuts just come online for attention, or even believe the nonsense they spew. The moon hoax is the weakest of the conspiracy theories, and is so easy to debunk.

  23. Remember, when you argue with a moon landing denier, most of these people have little to no knowledge of physics, basic photography, or any kind of science. Bart Sibrel, is a con man who used to be a taxi driver. He's not an expert in anything. All of his claims are silly to say the least, and are easily explained. It's an idiotic video filled with lies and errors, and basically insults the viewer.

  24. My thing to anyone believing the landings never happened. 1... Is NASA going to make all the mistakes the conspiracy crowd claim, knowing the world is watching? No way. 2 .... If anything was fake why haven't other countries exposed the US? They would have done so in a nano second. 3.... There is literally mountains of evidence on the Internet to anyone with doubt. The moon rocks brought back were examined all over the world by scientists. They are not from Antarctica!! 4.... Every single claim by the conspiracy crowd, has been explained/debunked numerous times. Although, to some, no evidence of any kind is ever good enough. If it goes against their beliefs... It's wrong. Facts?? They don't need them lol. After all, the conspiracy can't be wrong? Could it? Or are the Scientists who studied for years, and actually
    know about rocket technology, and physics, the ones who know the truth?
    Believe me, I can name a million things the hoax is wrong about, however, it's not going to change peoples minds.

  25. Sadly, conspiracies like this will always continue, simply because people don't research properly. Even the Titanic submersible disaster is already being labeled as a hoax or fake. It's so simple to search online, yet many chose to ignore facts. Unbelievable.
