Which Conspiracies Involving Nasa Astronauts?

Moon landing conspiracy theories suggest that NASA’s Apollo program and the lunar landings were staged as hoaxes, possibly with the help of other organizations. The most notable claim is that the six crewed lunar landings (1969-1972) were faked, and twelve Apollo astronauts did not land on the moon. Some conspiracy theorists reference the lack of stars in the lunar photos and the shadows in the images to prove the images were faked.

The basic template of these conspiracy theories is that NASA couldn’t safely land a man on the moon by the end of the 1960s as President John F Kennedy. The supposedly faked lunar landing is one of the most popular conspiracy theories, alleging that the images that NASA broadcast in July 1969 were shot in a Hollywood studio.

Astronaut Buzz Aldrin planted the U.S. flag on the Moon on July 20, 1969. As soon as the Apollo 11 spaceflight landed at Tranquility Base on July 20, 1969, conspiracy theories about the mission were born. Most conspiracy theories focus on supposed anomalies in the grainy photos and videos sent back to Earth.

There are six common Apollo 11 moonlanding conspiracy theories: fake moon landings, NASA lies, flat Earth, Killer Planet Nine, alien research, Killer Planet Nibiru, and Face on Mars. The moon hoax is a classic conspiracy theory that requires the existence of malevolent actors with a secret agenda. Bill Kaysing, a former US Navy officer and technical writer for one of NASA’s rocket manufacturers, started the conspiracy theories by claiming that the lunar landings were faked.
