Is it true: The Moon Landing Hoax?
Debunked100% confidence
No — this has been debunked.
All six Apollo Moon landings (1969-1972) were real. This is confirmed by 842 lbs of lunar samples studied worldwide, retroreflectors still used today, independent Soviet tracking, and 2009 LRO photographs of the landing sites.
The claim
The theory that NASA faked the Apollo moon landings between 1969 and 1972, filming them on a secret movie set rather than actually sending astronauts to the lunar surface.
Key evidence
Flag appears to "wave" in a vacuum
842 pounds of lunar samples verified by independent scientists worldwide
