The Moon Landing - World's Greatest Hoax · The conspiracy

0:00
Speaker 1: That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
0:03
Speaker 1: Those famous words spoken on July twentieth, nineteen sixty nine,
0:07
Speaker 1: as the Apollo eleven team set foot on the Moon,
0:09
Speaker 1: rang worldwide for all to hear. Americans sat in front
0:12
Speaker 1: of their television screens, marveling at the greatness of their
0:15
Speaker 1: country and their fellow man. We had done what seemed
0:17
Speaker 1: to be impossible. We had passed the confines of what
0:20
Speaker 1: had been our home since we came into existence, and
0:22
Speaker 1: now even the vast expanse of the universe seemed within
0:25
Speaker 1: our grasp. People were captivated. They were absolutely in awe
0:29
Speaker 1: of what America had just achieved, and they had done
0:32
Speaker 1: it just in time. The space race was over. America
0:35
Speaker 1: had crossed the finish line. It had beaten its longtime foe,
0:38
Speaker 1: proving once and for all that its technology was superior
0:41
Speaker 1: to that of the Soviet Union. But in the years since,
0:44
Speaker 1: people have begun to ask questions. People watched the broadcast,
0:48
Speaker 1: but a few things didn't add up. These questions turned
0:51
Speaker 1: into beliefs, beliefs that the broadcast itself was a complete fraud.
0:55
Speaker 1: One man, even I rately badgered one of the astronauts
0:58
Speaker 1: on the crew of Apollo eleven with these accusations until
1:02
Speaker 1: he was punched in the face. People began to call
1:04
Speaker 1: the astronauts and the American government liars, saying that Apollo
1:08
Speaker 1: eleven never even landed on the Moon. Conspiracy theorists said
1:12
Speaker 1: that the world had been lied to. But why to
1:15
Speaker 1: beat the Soviet Union of course, So join me today
1:18
Speaker 1: as we explore why people think that the moon landing
1:21
Speaker 1: may have been faked. This video is going to be
1:23
Speaker 1: chock full of evidence. This video is going to be
1:25
Speaker 1: chalk full of resources. This isn't a fluff piece. We
1:28
Speaker 1: are diving deep into why people think that the moon
1:32
Speaker 1: landing was faked. So if you've ever been on the
1:34
Speaker 1: edge about this whole issue, I know where I stand
1:36
Speaker 1: personally on the whole thing, but I highly recommend you
1:39
Speaker 1: watch this video with an open mind because there are
1:42
Speaker 1: just some bizarre inconsistencies here throughout the whole official story
1:46
Speaker 1: that we're going to talk about them in a second.
1:48
Speaker 1: As always with this show, all the resources that I'm
1:50
Speaker 1: using are going to be posted in a document in
1:53
Speaker 1: the description of this episode. All parties are presumed innocent
1:56
Speaker 1: until proven guilty in a court of law, and I'm
1:58
Speaker 1: not planning on doing anything to myself and the near future.
2:00
Speaker 1: I'm definitely not going anywhere, and I'm definitely not planning
2:03
Speaker 1: on disappearing. But without further ado, thank you for joining
2:06
Speaker 1: me today and welcome to the Conspiracy Files. Today's video
2:17
Speaker 1: was brought to you by June's Journey. So oftentimes late
2:19
Speaker 1: at night I find myself lying wide awake in bed.
2:22
Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to turn your brain off after
2:24
Speaker 1: a full day of researching stories like the one we're
2:26
Speaker 1: talking about today. But I've completely found relaxation in the

Speaker 1: get back into our story. So the moon Landing, everybody,
3:50
Speaker 1: this has been a highly requested episode, an episode I've
3:53
Speaker 1: been sitting on for a while, and this is going
3:55
Speaker 1: to be a very very polarizing episode. I know people
3:58
Speaker 1: in my life who are a million percent convinced that
4:01
Speaker 1: the moon landing was faked. I also know people who
4:04
Speaker 1: will like fight you to the bone claiming that it
4:08
Speaker 1: wasn't fake and that you know, obviously, why would you
4:11
Speaker 1: believe that the government would do this and this, and YadA, YadA, YadA.
4:13
Speaker 1: I'm in the camp where I think there's too much
4:15
Speaker 1: fishiness involved with the story to not have some sort of,
4:19
Speaker 1: you know, darker history behind it. You're going to see
4:21
Speaker 1: why in a little bit. There's so many coincidences and
4:24
Speaker 1: so many facts that just don't line up. But I'm
4:27
Speaker 1: not going to push you to any direction here. Guys.
4:30
Speaker 1: You can believe in whatever you would like to believe. Obviously,
4:33
Speaker 1: here on the show, I only present stories if I
4:36
Speaker 1: have facts and resources to back them up. This isn't
4:38
Speaker 1: a channel that exists on conjecture and assertions that are
4:42
Speaker 1: false without evidence. So everything that I talk about, I'm
4:44
Speaker 1: going to be providing the resources in a document. This
4:47
Speaker 1: script was researched and written by Sabran Chandler Lewis. Sabran
4:51
Speaker 1: has been such a massive help to the show, and
4:53
Speaker 1: I want to give her a shout out for the
4:54
Speaker 1: contribution to this episode. Takes a lot of work to
4:57
Speaker 1: make this show happen, guys, a lot of We have
4:59
Speaker 1: a whole team. We have writers and researchers and editors.
5:02
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm just really proud of everybody here, and
5:04
Speaker 1: I'm really thankful that we've built the audience that we
5:07
Speaker 1: have online. I know a lot of people have asked
5:09
Speaker 1: for this episode, so I hope that we can do
5:10
Speaker 1: you guys proud. But yeah, this is like one of
5:13
Speaker 1: the most classic conspiracy theories ever. And I do want
5:17
Speaker 1: to state first of all, this channel is called the
5:20
Speaker 1: Conspiracy Files, right, and I've had a lot of people say, oh,
5:23
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have called it the Conspiracy Files because it's
5:25
Speaker 1: all true. It's not a conspiracy. And that's the whole
5:27
Speaker 1: point of what I'm doing. It's taking back the word
5:30
Speaker 1: because conspiracy theory, that whole you know, word and term
5:34
Speaker 1: generated after the assassination of JFK by intelligence officers in
5:38
Speaker 1: the United States to make people seem, you know, less
5:42
Speaker 1: legitimate when they brought up the JFK assassination. By the way,
5:45
Speaker 1: if you want me to release that episode, Please tell me,
5:47
Speaker 1: because I've got a sixty five page script ready to go.
5:51
Speaker 1: It's like the deepest dive into the JFK assassination you
5:54
Speaker 1: could possibly wish for. But yeah, I'm hoping to show
5:56
Speaker 1: people that these things that we talk about here are
5:59
Speaker 1: labeledes and they are conspiracies. It just takes two or
6:02
Speaker 1: more people coming together for, you know, with a with
6:05
Speaker 1: a dark goal in mind, to create a conspiracy. But
6:08
Speaker 1: these things are legit, especially with the and you know,
6:11
Speaker 1: people have come at me said why do you talk
6:13
Speaker 1: about so much and why do you try to expose
6:16
Speaker 1: these people? You must be one yourself. I just got
6:18
Speaker 1: another comment today, somebody, some jackass, saying this guy probably
6:22
Speaker 1: just makes these videos so that he could research the
6:24
Speaker 1: six stuff. No. I care about informing people, educating people,
6:30
Speaker 1: and I really want to raise awareness with this channel.
6:33
Speaker 1: My biggest passion nowadays is exposing these criminals that have
6:37
Speaker 1: been allowed to roam free and have escaped prosecution, criminals
6:41
Speaker 1: that have committed crimes against children. So that's been a
6:44
Speaker 1: main focus of my work here on the channel and
6:46
Speaker 1: illustrating to you how all of these webs are connected
6:49
Speaker 1: to each other. So it's like a twenty part documentary series,
6:53
Speaker 1: and each one you start hearing the same names over
6:56
Speaker 1: and over again, and you realize none of these people
6:59
Speaker 1: have been convey of the crimes that they committed. So, yeah,
7:03
Speaker 1: that's my little tirade there. But without further ado, let's
7:07
Speaker 1: just get into this story. Why did we want to
7:09
Speaker 1: go to the Moon? Well? After World War II, the
7:12
Speaker 1: United States and Britain formed an uneasy alliance against the
7:16
Speaker 1: Soviet Union. The US and Britain feared the Soviets having
7:19
Speaker 1: a permanent dominion over Eastern Europe and feared that the
7:22
Speaker 1: Soviets were spreading communism throughout Western Europe. The Cold War,
7:26
Speaker 1: which ran from nineteen forty seven to nineteen ninety, solidified
7:29
Speaker 1: when the US provided aid to Western Europe through the
7:32
Speaker 1: Marshall Plan and brought the countries under the American influence,
7:35
Speaker 1: thus opposing Communist influence. During the Cold War, especially in
7:39
Speaker 1: the beginning, mass fear of communism ran rampant throughout the
7:42
Speaker 1: United States. McCarthyism, which was like the Red Scare of
7:45
Speaker 1: the early twentieth century, caused many government officials to lose
7:48
Speaker 1: their jobs or become blacklisted simply because it was feared
7:52
Speaker 1: that they themselves had ties to communism or communist regimes.
7:55
Speaker 1: During this time, the United States had demonstrated the horrific
7:58
Speaker 1: power of the nuclear bomb, and the Soviet Union began
8:01
Speaker 1: to try to catch up. On August twenty ninth, nineteen
8:04
Speaker 1: forty nine, the Soviet Union completed its first successful nuclear
8:07
Speaker 1: weapons test in Kazakhstan. Meanwhile, the US intelligence assessments had
8:12
Speaker 1: placed them as being three years away from having access
8:15
Speaker 1: to such technology. So the Soviets were growing stronger and
8:18
Speaker 1: deadlier quicker than United States intelligence officials thought they had been,
8:22
Speaker 1: and both countries believed that powerful bombs large enough to
8:26
Speaker 1: wipe out thousands of people with a single explosion for
8:28
Speaker 1: the future of warfare. Therefore, a race began between the
8:31
Speaker 1: two entities to create the next class of weapons, thermonuclear
8:35
Speaker 1: or hydrogen bombs. This began what was known as the
8:38
Speaker 1: nuclear arms race. The US obviously got there first, detonating
8:42
Speaker 1: a hydrogen bomb atting a toll in the Marshall Islands
8:45
Speaker 1: in late nineteen fifty two. Its second test in nineteen
8:48
Speaker 1: fifty four was badly miscalculated and created a radioactive fallout
8:52
Speaker 1: that harmed many inhabitants of the Marshall Islands. In fact,
8:56
Speaker 1: we are going to talk about that later on on
8:58
Speaker 1: another episode, because that's a whole nother thing the United
9:01
Speaker 1: States government has covered up, and obviously the US government
9:04
Speaker 1: has completely filled over the indigenous people, not only of
9:07
Speaker 1: the US, but of all the sovereign you know, territories
9:10
Speaker 1: that we've asserted dominance over. But that story is just
9:13
Speaker 1: bananas if you want to look it up. In the meantime,
9:15
Speaker 1: but back to these bombs. The Soviet Union tested its
9:18
Speaker 1: first thermonuclear device in November of nineteen fifty five. Their
9:22
Speaker 1: device also had devastating impacts on the residents of Kazakhstan. Eventually,
9:27
Speaker 1: safeguards were set to protect civilians in the wake of
9:29
Speaker 1: this power conflict, and the space race began soon afterwards
9:33
Speaker 1: in October of nineteen fifty seven. At that time, the
9:36
Speaker 1: Soviet Union had just conducted the first successful test of
9:39
Speaker 1: an ICBM, or intercontinental ballistic missile in the world. It
9:43
Speaker 1: was seen as capable of striking US territory, and days later,
9:47
Speaker 1: the modified rocket launched the first man made satellite, sput
9:50
Speaker 1: Nick one, into orbit. The rapid growth of Soviet technology
9:54
Speaker 1: gave rise to the fear of a strike on US
9:56
Speaker 1: soil and the militarization of space. The first us ICBM
10:00
Speaker 1: Atlas made its first flight in late nineteen fifty eight.
10:03
Speaker 1: That same year, the US government created NASA, meant to
10:07
Speaker 1: be a civilian space exploration agency. When it began, the
10:10
Speaker 1: space race had no finish line, No set endpoint would
10:13
Speaker 1: mean that either entity had won. Both countries were simply
10:16
Speaker 1: seeing who could create the next best technology. President John F.
10:19
Speaker 1: Kennedy was the first to propose a finish line. He
10:22
Speaker 1: proclaimed that America should commit itself to going to the
10:25
Speaker 1: Moon when he stood before Congress on May twenty fifth,
10:28
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty one. Then President Kennedy gave a speech at
10:31
Speaker 1: Rice University on September twelfth, nineteen sixty two. In it,
10:35
Speaker 1: he stated that he promised to land a man on
10:37
Speaker 1: the Moon before nineteen seventy. The objective was to get
10:40
Speaker 1: there before the Soviets, and thus we get to the
10:43
Speaker 1: real meat and potatoes of the space race before man
10:46
Speaker 1: ever stepped foot on the moon. The space race was
10:48
Speaker 1: decided by firsts, such as the first satellite, the first
10:52
Speaker 1: man and woman in space, and the first spacewalk. All
10:55
Speaker 1: of these were first achieved by the Soviet Union. The
10:58
Speaker 1: US drove itself had playing ketchup trying to get on
11:01
Speaker 1: an even playing field with the Soviets. Preceding the manned
11:05
Speaker 1: space missions, Sputnik two was launched into space on November third,
11:09
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty seven, carrying one passenger to study the effects
11:12
Speaker 1: of living creatures in space. Laika the dog was sent
11:15
Speaker 1: into space and sadly, no provisions were made to recover her.
11:19
Speaker 1: She was a part samoid stray picked up off the
11:21
Speaker 1: streets of Moscow, and the Soviet scientists chose her specifically
11:25
Speaker 1: as they thought a homeless dog would be better equipped
11:28
Speaker 1: for the cold, hunger, and harsh conditions of space. It's
11:31
Speaker 1: likely that Laika only survived a few hours after reaching orbit,
11:35
Speaker 1: and on April fourteenth, nineteen fifty eight, Sputnik two fell
11:38
Speaker 1: back into the atmosphere and burned up on re entry.
11:41
Speaker 1: After three years, the Soviets orbited more animals, returning the
11:44
Speaker 1: crews safely to Earth to prepare for human spaceflight. At
11:48
Speaker 1: least ten other dogs were launched on orbital flights before
11:51
Speaker 1: the first human manned mission to space, with most of
11:54
Speaker 1: those dogs returning home alive. Yuri Gagarin was the first
11:58
Speaker 1: human in space to the disappointment of Americans, He circled
12:02
Speaker 1: the Earth in Vostik I on April twelfth, nineteen sixty one,
12:06
Speaker 1: at a rate of twenty seven thousand, four hundred kilometers
12:09
Speaker 1: per hour, with the flight lasting a total of one
12:11
Speaker 1: hundred and eight minutes. American astronaut Alan Shephard came shortly
12:15
Speaker 1: afterwards aboard the Freedom seven capsule, made only large enough
12:19
Speaker 1: for one person. The flight did not orbit Earth and
12:21
Speaker 1: only reached one hundred and sixteen miles into the atmosphere
12:24
Speaker 1: before landing in the Atlantic Ocean. The first woman in
12:27
Speaker 1: space came two years later, with Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova
12:32
Speaker 1: orbiting the Earth on June sixteenth, nineteen sixty three, a
12:35
Speaker 1: part of the Vostok sixth mission. On March eighteenth, nineteen
12:38
Speaker 1: sixty five, Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov performed the first spacewalk.
12:42
Speaker 1: It lasted twelve minutes and nine seconds as he free
12:45
Speaker 1: floated outside of the voskod II spacecraft. Meanwhile, the early
12:49
Speaker 1: efforts of the United States were marked with failures. They
12:52
Speaker 1: attempted to use the Navy rocket Vanguard, yet it exploded
12:56
Speaker 1: at launch, and the media of the time was heavily critical.
12:59
Speaker 1: President Kennedy, eager to take the lead over the Soviets,
13:02
Speaker 1: and Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, conducted a poll with
13:05
Speaker 1: leaders and multiple sources such as the military and NASA,
13:08
Speaker 1: and his findings reported that quote with a strong effort,
13:11
Speaker 1: the US could conceivably beat the Soviet Union by sending
13:15
Speaker 1: a man to the Moon. Neither the US nor the
13:17
Speaker 1: Soviet Union had a rocket that could perform a mission
13:20
Speaker 1: of that magnitude, but with the many successes of the Soviets,
13:23
Speaker 1: the US began at a disadvantage. At the time of
13:26
Speaker 1: Kennedy's announcement to Congress, the total space time of an
13:29
Speaker 1: American Alan shepard aboard the Freedom seven capsule was barely
13:33
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. Many more firsts needed to be made before
13:36
Speaker 1: man could set foot on the Moon, and the Soviets,
13:39
Speaker 1: like I said, before, beat the US in many It
13:41
Speaker 1: seemed that the US was still losing the space race,
13:44
Speaker 1: but the United States was following a program that they
13:47
Speaker 1: believed would build upon itself and extend beyond all previous tests.
13:51
Speaker 1: The American Mercury Missions developed the hardware needed for safe
13:54
Speaker 1: spaceflight and return. The object was to show how human
13:58
Speaker 1: beings would fare in the harsh conditions of space throughout
14:00
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty one. In nineteen sixty three, the US flew
14:04
Speaker 1: multiple test flights and six manned missions. After Mercury crews
14:08
Speaker 1: of ten flew Gemini missions, the Gemini spacecraft was redesigned
14:11
Speaker 1: large enough for two astronauts. These missions flew from nineteen
14:15
Speaker 1: sixty four to nineteen sixty six, improving spacecraft control, rendezvous
14:19
Speaker 1: and docking, and then finally spacewalking. One of the two
14:22
Speaker 1: Gemini missions lasted two weeks in space, long enough for
14:25
Speaker 1: future crews to land on the Moon, explore the Moon,
14:28
Speaker 1: and return. In nineteen sixty seven, though the space race
14:31
Speaker 1: began to prove deadly for man. In January of that year,
14:35
Speaker 1: Gus Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffey died after a
14:38
Speaker 1: fire ignited in the Apollo IE capsule on the launch pad.
14:41
Speaker 1: A few months later, Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Kamarov was killed
14:45
Speaker 1: when the parachute on his spacecraft, the Soyas one, failed
14:49
Speaker 1: to open on re entry. The US finally achieved a
14:52
Speaker 1: significant goal when Apollo eight became the first human crewed
14:55
Speaker 1: spacecraft to reach the Moon and orbit. It then successfully
14:58
Speaker 1: returned to Earth. Year later, on July twentieth, nineteen sixty nine,
15:02
Speaker 1: Neil Armstrong and buzz Aldrin became the first men to
15:05
Speaker 1: walk on the surface of the Moon. Well crewmate Michael
15:08
Speaker 1: Collins orbited on Apollo eleven. The televised landing was witnessed
15:12
Speaker 1: by seven hundred and twenty three million people worldwide. The
15:17
Speaker 1: spacecraft Eagle landed on the region of the Moon known
15:20
Speaker 1: as the Sea of Tranquility, with the famous radio message
15:23
Speaker 1: Houston Tranquility Base here the Eagle has landed. Then the
15:27
Speaker 1: famous words rang across the world. That's one small step
15:30
Speaker 1: for man, one giant leap for mankind. Now that's the
15:34
Speaker 1: official story, right according to everybody, that's the truth of
15:38
Speaker 1: the space landing. Afterwards, buzz Aldrin, Neil armstrongly all came
15:41
Speaker 1: back to the Earth. There were more missions that went
15:44
Speaker 1: to the Moon, spaceflights, and space travel has advanced significantly.
15:48
Speaker 1: And yeah, I guess that's it. That's the end of
15:50
Speaker 1: the podcast. Guys. Time the shut up, or at least
15:54
Speaker 1: that's what they want you to believe, because now we
15:55
Speaker 1: have to talk about the conspiracy nationalism burned in the
15:59
Speaker 1: hearts of many Americans during this time. They were proud
16:02
Speaker 1: of their country and what they had achieved. People looked
16:05
Speaker 1: at America as a powerhouse once again, instead of an
16:07
Speaker 1: embarrassment for their failures early in the space race. So
16:10
Speaker 1: why today do so many people have doubts that all
16:13
Speaker 1: of it was real? Why did bart Sebrell get punched
16:16
Speaker 1: by buzz Aldrin after calling him a coward and a liar?
16:19
Speaker 1: Where did this all begin? Well, it began in nineteen
16:22
Speaker 1: seventy six with the book We Never Went to the Moon,
16:25
Speaker 1: America's thirty billion dollars Swindle. The book was written by
16:28
Speaker 1: former US Navy officer Bill Kasing, who worked as a
16:32
Speaker 1: technical writer for a rocket manufacturer who worked on NASA's
16:35
Speaker 1: Apollo missions. Bill claimed to have inside knowledge of a
16:38
Speaker 1: government conspiracy that faked the moon landings. His claims detailed
16:42
Speaker 1: a massive government scheme to fake a moon landing so
16:45
Speaker 1: that the US could publicly beat the Soviet Union in
16:48
Speaker 1: the space race, Because, I mean, once you're on the moon,
16:50
Speaker 1: there's no other goal to really achieve. You can't really
16:53
Speaker 1: move those goalposts. Once you're on the moon, you're the
16:56
Speaker 1: first one on the moon. You've kind of won. I
16:59
Speaker 1: guess Casing's theory was that NASA couldn't safely land a
17:03
Speaker 1: man on the Moon by the end of the sixties,
17:05
Speaker 1: as Kennedy had promised, and their only achievement had been
17:08
Speaker 1: sending a man into orbit. Then theorists alleged that NASA
17:11
Speaker 1: staged the moonlanding in a film studio, resulting in many
17:14
Speaker 1: signs that the footage and photos were falsified. Theorists claim
17:18
Speaker 1: that you don't have to be an expert on the
17:20
Speaker 1: moonlanding to see that this stuff looks a little suspicious
17:23
Speaker 1: or fishy. Is it plausible? Well, we already know that
17:26
Speaker 1: the US was leagues behind the Soviets at every turn
17:29
Speaker 1: in the conflict, and that American pride was beginning to
17:32
Speaker 1: dwindle as the media slammed the government for its ineffectual
17:35
Speaker 1: steps to win the space race. But could they really
17:37
Speaker 1: have taken such drastic steps to win the race to
17:40
Speaker 1: improve American morale and to make a show of strength
17:43
Speaker 1: for the United States. Well, the US obviously already had
17:47
Speaker 1: a long and historical history of shady moves, one being
17:51
Speaker 1: the U two spy plane scandal. In the sixties. President
17:54
Speaker 1: Eisenhower had told NASA to say that a civilian plane
17:57
Speaker 1: was missing, but the Soviets had captured the pilot of
18:00
Speaker 1: the missing plane, and the pilot had confessed to them
18:02
Speaker 1: that the plane had been used to spy on the Soviets.
18:05
Speaker 1: Only when confronted by the truth did Eisenhower confess openly
18:09
Speaker 1: that the U two was indeed a spy plane. This
18:11
Speaker 1: was one of the first times that the American people
18:14
Speaker 1: learned that their leaders weren't always being truthful, and the
18:16
Speaker 1: American people were absolutely devastated with this event and many
18:20
Speaker 1: events after the moon landing, where it was proven that
18:23
Speaker 1: the American government was willing to lie to protect its interests.
18:26
Speaker 1: It's plausible that they could create an even bigger lie
18:29
Speaker 1: when the stakes were as high as they were in
18:31
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties. You see, President Kennedy had made a promise,
18:35
Speaker 1: and to fail at that promise would make the American
18:37
Speaker 1: government and its people look foolish. They couldn't stand to
18:40
Speaker 1: be seen as weak for failing to beat the Soviets
18:43
Speaker 1: yet again. And remember President Kennedy was assassinated after he
18:47
Speaker 1: made that promise. So I'm sure a lot of people
18:50
Speaker 1: in the government and then the United States at the
18:52
Speaker 1: time wanted to honor one of Kennedy's final promises that
18:55
Speaker 1: he had made before he was gunned down, and with
18:58
Speaker 1: that simple fact, the ground were laid for the idea
19:01
Speaker 1: that the government of the United States had forged a
19:03
Speaker 1: plan to defeat the Soviets in the space race once
19:06
Speaker 1: and for all, proving American superiority and the superiority of
19:10
Speaker 1: democracy over communism. The Casing version of the conspiracy took
19:14
Speaker 1: root in the nineteen seventies after more government distrust built
19:17
Speaker 1: over the Pentagon Papers, which proved that the Johnson administration
19:21
Speaker 1: had systematically lied to the American people about the Vietnam War.
19:25
Speaker 1: Not only that, but the Watergate scandal of Nixon's administration
19:29
Speaker 1: was also nightly news. Americans were poised to question their
19:32
Speaker 1: government because of these events, so when Casing's theory was released,
19:35
Speaker 1: he had a wide and attentive audience. The tide had
19:38
Speaker 1: turned from the external threat of communism to the internal
19:41
Speaker 1: threat of a government poised to conspire against its own citizens.
19:45
Speaker 1: With the assassination of John F. Kennedy, which was widely
19:48
Speaker 1: believed to have been a plot by the government after
19:50
Speaker 1: the conclusion of the House Select Committee on Assassinations, theorists
19:54
Speaker 1: took a new route to understanding and finding the truth.
19:57
Speaker 1: They used publicly available information and began to reinterpret it,
20:00
Speaker 1: forming a different story than what they had been previously told.
20:04
Speaker 1: Before they simply believed in suppressed evidence. Now they were
20:07
Speaker 1: looking at what truth lay inside evidence that had already
20:10
Speaker 1: been released to the public. They made the most use
20:12
Speaker 1: of what they could physically see. They couldn't be lied
20:15
Speaker 1: to by their own eyes, and this is what gave
20:17
Speaker 1: the original conspiracy of the moon landing footage so much credence.
20:20
Speaker 1: Later theories made against NASA by the Flat Earth Society
20:23
Speaker 1: stated that Hollywood and Disney faked the footage using a
20:27
Speaker 1: script by Arthur C. Clarke in film direction by Stanley Kubrick.
20:30
Speaker 1: But what evidence suggests that this was the truth. Most
20:33
Speaker 1: of the original claims made against the moon landing lie
20:36
Speaker 1: within the original footage and photos take it. One such
20:38
Speaker 1: image shows astronaut Neil Armstrong's shadow next to the shadow
20:42
Speaker 1: of another object. The issue with this photo is that
20:45
Speaker 1: the shadows are not parallel, but why should they be.
20:47
Speaker 1: Theorists claim that if the sun was the only light source,
20:50
Speaker 1: the shadows should be parallel. However, experts have claimed to
20:54
Speaker 1: have debunked this theory because of the perspective of the photo.
20:57
Speaker 1: The debunk states that since it is a three dimensional
20:59
Speaker 1: star situation reduced to a two dimensional plane, the lines
21:03
Speaker 1: may do many strange things that don't line up with
21:05
Speaker 1: what we think we should see. The second theory is
21:07
Speaker 1: much more scientific, that the astronauts should not have survived
21:10
Speaker 1: the radiation field that surrounds our planet. The Van Allen
21:13
Speaker 1: Radiation Belt surrounds the Earth, which is a zone in
21:16
Speaker 1: the magnetic field where high energy trapped particles from the
21:19
Speaker 1: Sun are confined. Theorists state that the high amount of
21:22
Speaker 1: radiation should have killed the astronauts when they passed through
21:25
Speaker 1: this belt, but one professor had a reply that seemingly
21:28
Speaker 1: put the theory to bed firewalking. Professor Oha of the
21:31
Speaker 1: National Space Center states that's similar to firewalking. As long
21:35
Speaker 1: as the astronauts were not subjected to the radiation for
21:37
Speaker 1: too long, they wouldn't have been killed. He states that
21:40
Speaker 1: the astronauts were not in the Van Allen radiation belt
21:43
Speaker 1: long enough to have sustained any permanent or lasting damage. However,
21:46
Speaker 1: the astronauts were technically in the belt for around three hours,
21:50
Speaker 1: receiving about one point eight seaverts a representation of the
21:53
Speaker 1: stochiastic health risk of ionizing radiation. Exposure to more than
21:57
Speaker 1: one seavert leads to fatal injuries, so it's been documented
22:01
Speaker 1: that exposure to over one severt of this radiation can
22:04
Speaker 1: damage a person and can it can hit someone with
22:07
Speaker 1: fatal injuries. And the astronauts that were in that belt
22:11
Speaker 1: for three hours should have been exposed to one point
22:14
Speaker 1: eight severts, so two times the amount of radiation that
22:17
Speaker 1: would lead to a fatal injury. Strange right, The amount
22:20
Speaker 1: of radiation that the astronauts were exposed to should have
22:23
Speaker 1: at least led to nausea and vomiting. It could have
22:26
Speaker 1: led to twenty percent mortality and bone marrow changes, but
22:29
Speaker 1: it never did. So why did the astronauts not develop cancer,
22:32
Speaker 1: die prematurely, or show any ill effects from the radiation
22:35
Speaker 1: in the same breath. Many question the space suits used
22:38
Speaker 1: by the astronauts, saying that they could not have survived
22:41
Speaker 1: the radiation because they weren't accurately protected. The radiation should
22:45
Speaker 1: have killed them straight off, or at least should have
22:47
Speaker 1: caused cancers or other health defects. Measurements were taken of
22:50
Speaker 1: the astronaut's skin after their landing, and they read at
22:53
Speaker 1: abou zero point one to eight rat, which matched radiation
22:56
Speaker 1: readings taken from missions that were restricted to low Earth orbit.
23:00
Speaker 1: So because of this, many theorists began to claim that
23:03
Speaker 1: the Apollo eleven crew had only made it into orbit
23:06
Speaker 1: and they then came back down. It is interesting here
23:09
Speaker 1: you have the radiation level measured on the astronaut's skin
23:12
Speaker 1: matching the same levels that were read on other astronauts'
23:15
Speaker 1: skin after they had done these low Earth orbit missions,
23:19
Speaker 1: and they supposedly passed through this intense radiation belt and
23:22
Speaker 1: that had not caused a significant spike on the radiation
23:26
Speaker 1: that was measured on their skin. They were in that
23:28
Speaker 1: belt for three hours, so that's something people question all
23:31
Speaker 1: the time. The aluminum shielding on the Apollo spacecraft also
23:34
Speaker 1: only amounted to a wall of lead about seven millimeters thick.
23:38
Speaker 1: The space suits used by the astronauts didn't contain any lead,
23:42
Speaker 1: which is the standard material used during X rays to
23:45
Speaker 1: protect patients from radiation. However, lead proved resistant to motion,
23:49
Speaker 1: so they used different materials. Aluminum, teflon, and titanium were
23:53
Speaker 1: used in the space suits to protect the astronauts, but
23:56
Speaker 1: It's a known fact that aluminum can't effectively shield against
23:59
Speaker 1: gamma or neutron rays in the thickness range for space applications.
24:03
Speaker 1: Biological data indicates that aluminum or aluminum alloys structures may
24:07
Speaker 1: create unhealthy internal spacecraft environments in the thickness range for
24:11
Speaker 1: space applications. Therefore, scientific evidence tells us that health related
24:16
Speaker 1: challenges of travel into deep space are unsolved, rendering manned
24:20
Speaker 1: Moon missions and beyond impossible. What other proof exists that
24:23
Speaker 1: the moon landing was staged well. People asked questions about
24:27
Speaker 1: why the sky and the footage had no stars. They
24:30
Speaker 1: said that with the absence of atmospheric distortion and clouds,
24:33
Speaker 1: there should have been stars in the image, and in fact,
24:36
Speaker 1: there are no stars in any of the images or video.
24:38
Speaker 1: Theorists claim that since NASA couldn't fake the sky's multitude
24:42
Speaker 1: of stars accurately, they just chose to not include the
24:44
Speaker 1: stars at all. But one popular debunking of that theory
24:48
Speaker 1: lies in the fact that the lunar landscape was brightly
24:50
Speaker 1: lit by the sun and that it was daytime on
24:52
Speaker 1: the Moon when the photos were captured, so just like
24:55
Speaker 1: on Earth during the day, we wouldn't be able to
24:57
Speaker 1: see the stars. Well, this may be dismissable. Any ask
25:00
Speaker 1: why the American flag that was placed on the Moon
25:03
Speaker 1: waved in what seemed to be wind. The flag shouldn't
25:05
Speaker 1: have moved at all, and its waving has caused many
25:08
Speaker 1: many questions. One of the answers that people were given
25:11
Speaker 1: was a horizontal telescoping arm or a crossbar on top
25:14
Speaker 1: of the flag that held it aloft wasn't fully extended
25:17
Speaker 1: by the early astronauts, and the movement was caused by
25:19
Speaker 1: buzz Aldron twisting the flag into the ground. So why
25:22
Speaker 1: can't we see the flag from Apollo eleven? Photos exist
25:25
Speaker 1: of the other flags on the lunar surface, taken by
25:28
Speaker 1: the Reconnaissance orbiter in twenty twelve. The five visible flags
25:32
Speaker 1: are those from the Apollo twelve, thirteen, fifteen, and seventeen missions.
25:36
Speaker 1: It should be noted that no telescope is powerful enough
25:39
Speaker 1: to take photos of the Moon's surface in such detail. Therefore,
25:42
Speaker 1: the common man cannot prove the existence of the flags themselves.
25:46
Speaker 1: The only device capable is an orbiter like the reconnaissance
25:49
Speaker 1: buzz Aldrin claims that the flag isn't visible because of
25:52
Speaker 1: Apollo eleven's liftoff, He claimed that the flag was knocked
25:55
Speaker 1: over by the exhaust. However, photos taken of the Apollo
25:59
Speaker 1: eleven site show no flag at all. Was it completely
26:02
Speaker 1: blown away out into space or was there never even
26:05
Speaker 1: a flag on the Moon? To begin with, something else
26:08
Speaker 1: is missing. The lunar module didn't leave a blast crater
26:11
Speaker 1: on the surface of the Moon when it landed. The
26:13
Speaker 1: answer given to us is that the engines created a
26:15
Speaker 1: lot less thrust than they would on Earth, and so
26:18
Speaker 1: they didn't leave a large crater. But in the world
26:20
Speaker 1: of conspiracy, we're taught to question what we're told. The
26:23
Speaker 1: lunar modules seemingly made no mark on the moondust, yet
26:27
Speaker 1: footprints could be seen beside them, a very strange inconsistency.
26:31
Speaker 1: More photos in two thousand and nine came from the
26:33
Speaker 1: Lunar Reconnaissance orbiter. These images showed apparent tracks from the
26:37
Speaker 1: Apollo landing site. But if the original film was faked,
26:40
Speaker 1: why couldn't that have been too At this point, was
26:42
Speaker 1: America just working hard to hide its biggest hoax? And
26:45
Speaker 1: when they didn't take photos of the flag, did they
26:48
Speaker 1: say that it was blown away by exhaust? When Kennedy
26:50
Speaker 1: made his we choose to go to the Moon. Speech
26:53
Speaker 1: technology capable of performing such a feat as walking on
26:56
Speaker 1: the surface of the Moon didn't exist. Yet in eight years,
26:59
Speaker 1: the technology and money needed to make the moon landing
27:02
Speaker 1: happen came through it by the skin of its teeth.
27:04
Speaker 1: Some claim that Stanley Kubrick, famous later for his work
27:08
Speaker 1: on The Shining and tons of other movies like a Clockwork, Orange,
27:11
Speaker 1: Full Metal Jacket, Doctor Strangelove, and so many more, or
27:15
Speaker 1: Eyes Wide Shut, a movie that you know you could
27:17
Speaker 1: write your own script about about how Stanley Kubrick had
27:20
Speaker 1: a movie called Eyes Wide Shut, a movie about cults
27:23
Speaker 1: and these weird sex rituals, and it's a really weird movie.
27:26
Speaker 1: It's got like the Illuminati and these sex parties that
27:28
Speaker 1: look exactly like the things I talk about all the time.
27:31
Speaker 1: And then Stanley Kubrick had a full version of the
27:33
Speaker 1: film that you wanted to release, but he ended up
27:36
Speaker 1: dying before the film came out, just a few weeks
27:38
Speaker 1: before it came out, and the people who handled the
27:40
Speaker 1: film afterwards cut a ton of his original footage out.
27:43
Speaker 1: That's a really weird situation. It's really bizarre. It makes
27:46
Speaker 1: you wonder if, like some powerful people killed Stanley to
27:49
Speaker 1: remove that footage so that he couldn't expose like some
27:53
Speaker 1: deeper inner secrets of you know, these rituals and meetings.
27:55
Speaker 1: Stanley obviously was famous for movies like The Shining, and
27:59
Speaker 1: people believe that Stanley filmed the Moon landing and made
28:02
Speaker 1: it look real using the special effects available. Some people
28:05
Speaker 1: claim that Cubrick crafted the set using all the resources
28:08
Speaker 1: he could have asked for to create a compelling image
28:11
Speaker 1: on film of a man landing on the Moon. References
28:14
Speaker 1: were made jokingly in films like Diamonds Are Forever and
28:17
Speaker 1: Capricorn Won about filming fake planetary landing scenes made to
28:21
Speaker 1: look realistic. Was it a joke or a message? It's interesting. Also,
28:26
Speaker 1: just look at The Shining. This is a very famous
28:28
Speaker 1: theory when it comes to Stanley Kubrick and The Moonlanding.
28:32
Speaker 1: He's planted a lot of different cues in different movies
28:35
Speaker 1: of his that have some weird lunar and space references.
28:39
Speaker 1: I don't know if this was a tongue in cheek
28:41
Speaker 1: joke by Stanley Kubrick, but there's like a direct Apollo
28:44
Speaker 1: NASA reference in the film The Shining, which came out
28:48
Speaker 1: obviously years after the moon landing, So that's up for
28:51
Speaker 1: you to decide. Was Stanley planting those seeds for people
28:55
Speaker 1: to see so that one day they could know the truth?
28:57
Speaker 1: Was he trying to speak to the general public and say, yeah,
29:00
Speaker 1: I did do this, or is that just him, you know,
29:03
Speaker 1: making a joke out of the whole thing. I don't
29:05
Speaker 1: really know. Another theory suggests that identical backgrounds were used
29:09
Speaker 1: in all the photos taken of the moon landing, with
29:11
Speaker 1: the photos supposedly having been taken miles apart from each other.
29:15
Speaker 1: Some believe that this is evidence of a painted background
29:18
Speaker 1: having been used, but again debunkers claimed that it's because
29:21
Speaker 1: of a lack of atmosphere on the Moon, leading to
29:24
Speaker 1: faraway objects not being obscured and therefore being easily visible
29:28
Speaker 1: from further away. What's more, though, is that many people
29:31
Speaker 1: say that there were too many photos taken, up to
29:33
Speaker 1: one photo every fifty seconds. Debunkers say that this claim
29:37
Speaker 1: does not account for two astronauts sharing the workload and
29:39
Speaker 1: simultaneously taking photographs during extra vehicular activity. It's weird, though,
29:44
Speaker 1: they did take a lot of photographs, and something else
29:46
Speaker 1: that needs to be stated here is just imagine the
29:49
Speaker 1: technology at the time, most people were still seeing things
29:52
Speaker 1: in black and white. We didn't have cell phones, we
29:55
Speaker 1: didn't have computers. Think of all the technology back in
29:59
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixties and how like primitive. So much of
30:03
Speaker 1: that technology seems today. And we're supposed to believe, you know,
30:07
Speaker 1: that these men actually landed on the Moon using technology
30:12
Speaker 1: from that era, and that none of them died and
30:14
Speaker 1: there were no major accidents or anything like that, and
30:17
Speaker 1: then they didn't return for decades and decades. I'm not
30:20
Speaker 1: telling you what to believe. I'm just bringing up the
30:22
Speaker 1: things that seem fishy and bizarre to me. Yeah, anyways,
30:26
Speaker 1: I don't want people to like think I'm a lunatic
30:28
Speaker 1: after this episode, but this is just more of a
30:30
Speaker 1: fun one that I think is fun. But if it's true,
30:33
Speaker 1: it would be incredibly deeply disturbing about the level of
30:36
Speaker 1: lies that the United States government would be willing to
30:39
Speaker 1: put out to fake a narrative. But back to these
30:41
Speaker 1: things that people have questioned. Photos also seemingly capture matching
30:45
Speaker 1: sea letters on a rock and on the ground, meaning
30:48
Speaker 1: that these things could have been placed there and were
30:51
Speaker 1: labeled because they were studio props. Debunkers state that these
30:54
Speaker 1: are printing in perfections. These are just natural things that
30:58
Speaker 1: occur in photographs that don't appear in the original film,
31:01
Speaker 1: But still it's incredibly bizarre. One of the most popular
31:04
Speaker 1: theories suggests that the moon landings were filmed high up
31:07
Speaker 1: in the Hollywood Hills or deep within Area fifty one,
31:10
Speaker 1: And if you go with a little bit of a
31:11
Speaker 1: reach here, one could say that Area fifty one, which
31:14
Speaker 1: obviously is associated heavily with space and extraterrestrials, still could
31:19
Speaker 1: possibly house the site of the original filming of the moonlandings.
31:23
Speaker 1: Maybe they kept around the studio for posterity in case
31:26
Speaker 1: they had to go find some old photos and create
31:28
Speaker 1: some new evidence. Who knows what's in Area fifty one.
31:31
Speaker 1: I certainly don't know. Another question that was asked was this,
31:34
Speaker 1: why haven't we gone back? And the answer that we're
31:36
Speaker 1: given time and time again is that it was too expensive,
31:39
Speaker 1: too dangerous, and it was just unsustainable. They state that
31:42
Speaker 1: once the space race had been won, there was no
31:44
Speaker 1: need to go back to the Moon after the Apollo
31:46
Speaker 1: missions were completed, or perhaps it's because we didn't go
31:50
Speaker 1: in the first place. So what about the actual moon
31:52
Speaker 1: rocks that were brought back to Earth. Scientists say that
31:55
Speaker 1: the hundreds of Moon rocks brought back were independently verified.
31:58
Speaker 1: Yet lunar mare basalts, which were told cover about seventeen
32:02
Speaker 1: percent of the surface of the Moon, bear an extremely
32:05
Speaker 1: strong resemblance to Earth basalts. These same rocks account for
32:09
Speaker 1: about one percent of the volume of the Earth's crust. Still,
32:13
Speaker 1: some say that due to the large amounts of meteoric
32:15
Speaker 1: impact that occurred on the Moon, the rocks there are
32:18
Speaker 1: composed of slightly different materials, but a fraud may have existed.
32:22
Speaker 1: Curtin University scientist Professor Alexander Nempchen closely observed a supposed
32:27
Speaker 1: Moon rock in his laboratory. The rocks composition was like granite.
32:31
Speaker 1: He testified a very rare rock on the Moon, they said,
32:34
Speaker 1: but a rock that's incredibly common on Earth. The rock
32:38
Speaker 1: also contained quartz, and the zirkon found in the sample
32:41
Speaker 1: was different from every other rock that was analyzed from
32:44
Speaker 1: the Moon. But he had been provided this sample directly
32:47
Speaker 1: from the United States government. The rock was said to
32:50
Speaker 1: have come directly from the Moon, and it was supposedly
32:53
Speaker 1: collected by Apollo fourteen astronauts in nineteen seventy one. So
32:57
Speaker 1: how did a rock that looks completely to a been
33:00
Speaker 1: taken just off the ground on Earth. How could that
33:03
Speaker 1: rock have gotten mixed in with rocks that were supposed
33:05
Speaker 1: to have been from the Moon. Well, rock exchanges from meteorites,
33:09
Speaker 1: especially four billion years ago when the Moon was much closer,
33:12
Speaker 1: were blamed, of course, but it's really just a weird coincidence.
33:15
Speaker 1: You know, this rock from Earth just suddenly ends up
33:18
Speaker 1: in the rocks from the Moon, and it's the one
33:20
Speaker 1: that we accidentally gave this guy to analyze. It's totally
33:22
Speaker 1: just coincidence, you know. But it still begs the question
33:25
Speaker 1: of how many of the other rocks were simply not
33:27
Speaker 1: recognized as Earth samples, how many of the rocks were
33:30
Speaker 1: not looked at as closely, and out of all the
33:33
Speaker 1: rocks collected, how was this one particular rock found on
33:36
Speaker 1: the surface of the Moon. Another question is this one
33:39
Speaker 1: percent of all meteorites found on Earth are lunar in origin.
33:43
Speaker 1: Were these lunar samples simply taken from our home world
33:46
Speaker 1: without us ever stepping foot off the planet, or did
33:49
Speaker 1: we manage to send unmanned missions to the Moon to
33:51
Speaker 1: collect those samples and return home Most people who know
33:54
Speaker 1: about the moonlanding conspiracy know about all these theories. However,
33:58
Speaker 1: one of the more unknown theory poses questions about the
34:01
Speaker 1: retro reflectors on the Moon's surface. Retro Reflectors are mirrors
34:05
Speaker 1: used as targets for Earth based tracking lasers. The presence
34:09
Speaker 1: of these retro reflectors from the Laser Ranging Retroflector Experiment
34:13
Speaker 1: or LURRR provides some evidence that there were indeed landings,
34:17
Speaker 1: but one seems to be missing. Lick Observatory attempted to
34:21
Speaker 1: find Apollo eleven's retro reflector as Armstrong and Aldron were
34:25
Speaker 1: allegedly still on the Moon, but they couldn't succeed in
34:28
Speaker 1: finding it until August one, nineteen sixty nine. The retro
34:31
Speaker 1: reflectors that were deployed by the other Apollo missions were
34:35
Speaker 1: reportedly detected the same day, are within a few days,
34:38
Speaker 1: but it took the team from Lick Observatory longer to
34:41
Speaker 1: detect the retro reflector from the Apollo eleven mission. Could
34:45
Speaker 1: that have been because it was placed there a few
34:47
Speaker 1: days later by an unmanned spacecraft. If the Apollo mission
34:51
Speaker 1: had deployed it the day they arrived on the surface,
34:53
Speaker 1: and then first stepped on the Moon. Why did it
34:55
Speaker 1: take thirteen days for the observatory to detect it, especially
34:59
Speaker 1: when in the future they've been able to detect every
35:02
Speaker 1: other retro reflector almost immediately. What's up with the time
35:05
Speaker 1: gap there? More questions were posed by Mary Bennett and
35:08
Speaker 1: David Percy in their two thousand and one publication Dark Moon,
35:12
Speaker 1: Apollo and the Whistleblowers, which states that NASA wouldn't risk
35:15
Speaker 1: broadcasting an astronaut meeting an untimely end on live television.
35:19
Speaker 1: This came after the crew of Apollo one died in
35:22
Speaker 1: a fire during a test and the upper management was
35:24
Speaker 1: questioned by the House of Representatives and the Senate was
35:27
Speaker 1: only the first moon landing faked and we managed to
35:30
Speaker 1: make it there by the next missions. Some believe this
35:33
Speaker 1: is so. That's kind of where my belief leans towards.
35:36
Speaker 1: I think there's a high likelihood that the original moon
35:39
Speaker 1: landing was faked in some capacity. I mean, the reasoning
35:43
Speaker 1: for it is there. The space race, a rush to
35:45
Speaker 1: beat the Soviets, American dominance, nationalism, JFK's promise he's dead.
35:50
Speaker 1: We need to do this, and we need to get
35:52
Speaker 1: it done fast before we lose the entire space race
35:55
Speaker 1: to the Soviets, and there's all this weird evidence. I mean,
35:58
Speaker 1: there are a ton of clips that I've seen of
36:00
Speaker 1: some of the footage from the original moonlanding mission, and
36:04
Speaker 1: it really does look like the astronauts are floating through
36:08
Speaker 1: space and then it looks like they get caught on
36:10
Speaker 1: a wire of some sort and swing back and forth
36:13
Speaker 1: like a swing on a playground. Just take a look
36:16
Speaker 1: at the way these astronauts are swinging. I mean, it
36:19
Speaker 1: just does not look realistic. And I don't know if
36:22
Speaker 1: this was just a mistake that happened, if they were
36:24
Speaker 1: live broadcasting this moon landing, or what the hell was
36:27
Speaker 1: going on with this, but maybe they overlooked it. It
36:30
Speaker 1: just looks it just looks so weird to me. I mean,
36:33
Speaker 1: the guy clearly like swings up and down, and to
36:36
Speaker 1: swing like that, you'd have to have gravity, and to
36:38
Speaker 1: have gravity like that, I don't know. It's just really bizarre.
36:42
Speaker 1: There's so much that doesn't add up here. The original
36:44
Speaker 1: Apollo eleven tapes, in fact, that were recorded by the
36:47
Speaker 1: craft slow scan television telecast in its raw format telemetry
36:51
Speaker 1: tape at the time of the first moon landing also
36:54
Speaker 1: seem to have gone missing. Now that seems really important,
36:58
Speaker 1: doesn't it. It seems like you should have have the
37:00
Speaker 1: raw footage of humankind's first visit to the Moon, you know,
37:06
Speaker 1: like the original Apollo eleven tapes, the very first time
37:10
Speaker 1: a human being in the history of mankind stepped foot
37:13
Speaker 1: on the Moon. Think about a thousand years into the future,
37:17
Speaker 1: there's probably gonna be you know, Walmarts on the moonach.
37:20
Speaker 1: People are gonna want to see that original tape. I mean,
37:23
Speaker 1: that's an incredibly important piece of human history, and it's gone.
37:27
Speaker 1: Those tapes were used to record the transmitted data as
37:30
Speaker 1: a backup because the low quality recordings of the landing
37:33
Speaker 1: broadcast remained intact. Though the preservation of the backup tapes
37:38
Speaker 1: was deemed to be unimportant, the tapes were likely erased
37:41
Speaker 1: and reused during a data tape shortage in the early
37:44
Speaker 1: eighties for NASA's Landsat program. Isn't that weird the footage
37:48
Speaker 1: of the first Moon landing it's erased and essentially taped
37:52
Speaker 1: over for another NASA program. I mean, not even just
37:56
Speaker 1: for the significance of mankind of having those tapes, but
37:59
Speaker 1: those tapes were probably worth you know, millions if not
38:03
Speaker 1: billions of dollars for how relevant they are to human
38:06
Speaker 1: history as a whole, and they got taped over. But
38:09
Speaker 1: some people wanted to find those tapes. A retired team
38:12
Speaker 1: from NASA actually tried to find the tapes in the
38:14
Speaker 1: early two thousands, but they were completely unable to do so.
38:17
Speaker 1: These were people that had worked in NASA in the past,
38:20
Speaker 1: that knew the ins and outs of the organization, the
38:22
Speaker 1: storage areas where everything would be, but they couldn't find
38:25
Speaker 1: the tapes. They wanted the rawest footage of the moonwalk,
38:28
Speaker 1: but the tapes were gone. The telemetry tapes were never found,
38:32
Speaker 1: but what they did find were television broadcasting system videotapes
38:36
Speaker 1: and a super eight movie film taken of a video
38:39
Speaker 1: monitor in Australia that showed the slow scan television transmission
38:43
Speaker 1: before it was converted. The footage needed to be converted,
38:46
Speaker 1: they said, to be able to broadcast to television screens worldwide. Strange,
38:51
Speaker 1: the blueprints of the lunar roving vehicles were also seemingly destroyed.
38:55
Speaker 1: These blueprints were of the four mission worthy vehicles used
38:59
Speaker 1: in the missions. The two hundred and twenty one page
39:02
Speaker 1: operation Manual contains some drawings, but the blueprints were missing.
39:06
Speaker 1: Once again, Why would they destroy the blueprints showing how
39:10
Speaker 1: these vehicles were crafted. Wouldn't that be like incredibly important
39:15
Speaker 1: stuff to hold on to once again, not only for mankind,
39:18
Speaker 1: but in case they wanted to go back to the
39:20
Speaker 1: Moon to put into museums one day. Then, like I said,
39:23
Speaker 1: there were millions of dollars. It's like one of the
39:26
Speaker 1: most important documents in human history. The first vehicle that
39:29
Speaker 1: was ever on the Moon disappeared. Another theory suggests that
39:33
Speaker 1: the moon landing was filmed in slow motion, and that
39:35
Speaker 1: that was the reason why the footage had to be
39:38
Speaker 1: converted for broadcast to television sets. This would have involved
39:41
Speaker 1: shooting the moon landing film and a much higher frame rate,
39:44
Speaker 1: and then slowing it down so that the astronauts appeared
39:47
Speaker 1: to move in low gravity. That's a very very possible argument.
39:51
Speaker 1: I've shot a ton of footage on film. I know
39:53
Speaker 1: how film cameras work. I work with super eight cameras
39:56
Speaker 1: all the time, from my other channel to paranormal files,
39:59
Speaker 1: and I could totally see that as being a possibility. Here.
40:02
Speaker 1: Arguments against this say that there were many hours of
40:05
Speaker 1: supposedly live coverage and so it couldn't have been sustained.
40:08
Speaker 1: The anti conspiracy theorists also say that it would have
40:11
Speaker 1: had to have been shot at three times the normal
40:14
Speaker 1: frame rate. This is certainly possible, though, and it's known
40:16
Speaker 1: as overcranking, which when played back at the normal frame rate,
40:19
Speaker 1: the footage plays back for a longer period of time.
40:22
Speaker 1: All you need is a way to store the frames
40:24
Speaker 1: and then generate new extra frames to slow down the footage.
40:27
Speaker 1: Some say that at the time of the footage, the
40:29
Speaker 1: magnetic disc recorders of the day couldn't have performed this feat,
40:32
Speaker 1: but with the enormous budget put towards the Moon landing,
40:35
Speaker 1: it is possible that they had the tech long before
40:38
Speaker 1: the public knew that it existed. I was talking to
40:40
Speaker 1: a very very intelligent friend of mine who's an investigative
40:43
Speaker 1: journalist the other day, and he was telling me about
40:45
Speaker 1: some information about the technology of the world, and he
40:48
Speaker 1: said something that really resonated with me. He said that
40:51
Speaker 1: the technology that we have access to as the general
40:54
Speaker 1: public today, it's more than likely that the United States
40:57
Speaker 1: government has had that technology for twenty plus years. Like
41:00
Speaker 1: they had cell phones long before they were a public thing.
41:03
Speaker 1: They had telephones long before they were a public thing.
41:06
Speaker 1: They had screens and you know, computers, and we really
41:09
Speaker 1: have no idea what the government is capable of and
41:14
Speaker 1: what technology they actually have. I mean, if there's technology
41:17
Speaker 1: that the government thinks, if they hold onto this, we'll
41:20
Speaker 1: have the one up on everybody else, why are they
41:22
Speaker 1: going to give that out to the general public. It's
41:24
Speaker 1: going to make the government more powerful, and it's going
41:26
Speaker 1: to protect us against our enemies, and it's going to
41:29
Speaker 1: make us, you know, in their eyes, a global superpower,
41:32
Speaker 1: knowing that we have this technology that no one else
41:34
Speaker 1: even knows exists. So is it really that far of
41:37
Speaker 1: a reach to believe that the government could have applied
41:39
Speaker 1: that same type of thinking to the moon landing. Thousands
41:42
Speaker 1: of feet of film would have been needed to be
41:44
Speaker 1: used to slow down the film of the moon landing
41:46
Speaker 1: and then be converted to be shown on TV. But
41:48
Speaker 1: the question is what lengths were the US government willing
41:51
Speaker 1: to go to so that they can ensure that the
41:53
Speaker 1: moon landing was believable. Well, one of the points made
41:56
Speaker 1: by debunkers about this conspiracy is that out of the
41:59
Speaker 1: thousands of people who would have been involved, no one
42:02
Speaker 1: ever spoke up, But The same can be said about
42:04
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. The same can be said about the Franklin scandal,
42:07
Speaker 1: The same can be said about Frank Sheldon. The same
42:09
Speaker 1: can be said about any of these that we've talked about.
42:12
Speaker 1: You know, there probably have been people that have spoken
42:15
Speaker 1: up who could have been killed, People that are threatened,
42:17
Speaker 1: people that are told to shut up or they'll lose
42:19
Speaker 1: their jobs, their lives, people that are blackmailed. I mean,
42:22
Speaker 1: there's a lot of ways to keep people quiet. Just
42:25
Speaker 1: look at jfk and John F. Kennedy. Why has no
42:28
Speaker 1: one ever came forward and said this is the exact truth. Well,
42:31
Speaker 1: it's because people were murdered and frightened into staying silent.
42:34
Speaker 1: So that theory of oh, there's so many people involved,
42:36
Speaker 1: how can they stay quiet? That holds no water with me,
42:39
Speaker 1: because it's it's just we know that there are cover ups,
42:43
Speaker 1: and we know that these things do happen, and there
42:45
Speaker 1: is evidence that suggests that some people have tried to
42:49
Speaker 1: expose the truth about this whole thing, and we're silenced.
42:51
Speaker 1: This is a list of the astronauts and civilians, most
42:54
Speaker 1: of whom were related to the crude spaceflight programs, who
42:58
Speaker 1: died could they have been killed as a part of
42:59
Speaker 1: a cover up. Theodore Freeman was an American astronaut. He
43:02
Speaker 1: was killed after ejecting from a T thirty eight supersonic
43:05
Speaker 1: trainer jet, which had suffered a bird strike on Halloween
43:08
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four. Elliott c and Charlie Bassett, selected as astronauts,
43:13
Speaker 1: were killed in a NASA jet crash on February twenty eighth,
43:16
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty six. Edward Gibbons, selected as a part of
43:19
Speaker 1: the fifth Astronaut group, died in a car accident on
43:22
Speaker 1: June sixth, nineteen sixty seven. We know that they use
43:25
Speaker 1: car accidents to assassinate people all the time. We've talked
43:28
Speaker 1: about that on the show, so that was a little suspicious.
43:30
Speaker 1: Clifton Williams was killed after ejecting from a faulty NASA
43:33
Speaker 1: T thirty eight trainer jet on October fifth, nineteen sixty seven.
43:37
Speaker 1: He died the same way that Theodore Freeman did. Test
43:39
Speaker 1: pilot Michael J. Adams, a major in the US Air Force,
43:42
Speaker 1: died in an X fifteen flight test on November fifteenth,
43:46
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty seven. Robert Henry Lawrence Junior was killed in
43:49
Speaker 1: an F one zero four plane crash shortly after. He
43:51
Speaker 1: was selected as a pilot in the manned Orbiting Laboratory
43:54
Speaker 1: program on December eighth, nineteen sixty seven. And finally, Thomas
43:58
Speaker 1: Ronald barn was killed in a car crash on April
44:01
Speaker 1: twenty seventh, nineteen sixty seven. Mister Baron died six days
44:05
Speaker 1: after testifying before the House Subcommittee on NASA's oversight hearings
44:09
Speaker 1: following the Apollo wonfires. So he testified about what he knew.
44:14
Speaker 1: Then he died in a car crash. Like I said,
44:16
Speaker 1: I've talked about before many times, all these people who
44:19
Speaker 1: have had knowledge of these or government conspiracies, they've threatened
44:23
Speaker 1: to talk about it, or if they've been asked to
44:25
Speaker 1: talk about it. In the case of the Apollo bulletin boards,
44:28
Speaker 1: a whole nother story. There was Gina, the woman who
44:31
Speaker 1: was telling the police that she was getting death threats
44:33
Speaker 1: and that these were threatening to kill her. She scheduled
44:36
Speaker 1: an appointment to come into the I believe it was
44:38
Speaker 1: the police station to give her official statement about what
44:41
Speaker 1: she knew about this that she had stumbled upon. And
44:44
Speaker 1: on the way to testify to the police, she got
44:47
Speaker 1: into a car crash drove high speed directly into a
44:50
Speaker 1: wall and she died. So car crashes are extremely sketchy
44:54
Speaker 1: to me, but many considered these deaths to simply be accidents.
44:57
Speaker 1: All the deaths happened at least twenty months before were
45:00
Speaker 1: Apollo eleven. But is it possible that these people knew
45:03
Speaker 1: of the plot and were silenced before they could speak out?
45:06
Speaker 1: For many of this could be a reach, but it's
45:08
Speaker 1: clear how high the stakes were during that time, because
45:10
Speaker 1: you see, the US was already in a Cold War,
45:12
Speaker 1: a war where all the fighting wasn't necessarily done in
45:15
Speaker 1: the field. The US and Soviet Union were battling to
45:17
Speaker 1: prove their superiority in other ways, and the final objective
45:21
Speaker 1: was getting to the moon. The US at its allies
45:23
Speaker 1: had won World War Two not too long ago, but
45:25
Speaker 1: they still felt they were under threat. Americans everywhere feared
45:28
Speaker 1: that the Russians were about to drop the big Bomb
45:30
Speaker 1: on them, just as they had done to Japan in
45:32
Speaker 1: the forties. But this wasn't the only thing that they
45:35
Speaker 1: were dealing with. Along with failing national pride, as the
45:37
Speaker 1: country was losing the space race, Americans faced a different
45:41
Speaker 1: conflict that was also rooted in stopping the spread of
45:43
Speaker 1: communism and the Cold War alike the Vietnam War. The
45:46
Speaker 1: American Patriot Friends Network was quoted as saying in two
45:49
Speaker 1: thousand and nine that putting a man on the moon,
45:51
Speaker 1: or seeming to do so, distracted Americans from the United
45:54
Speaker 1: States' involvement in the Vietnam War. Another theory states that
45:58
Speaker 1: the moon landing was meant to distract from the scandal
46:00
Speaker 1: that would be leaked later on the Pentagon Papers. Americans
46:04
Speaker 1: all over the country opposed the war, and giving them
46:06
Speaker 1: a distraction in the form of the moon landings may
46:08
Speaker 1: have been just what they needed to keep the public
46:10
Speaker 1: busy while the government spent millions overseas on an incredibly
46:14
Speaker 1: violent conflict that was killing innocence and soldiers alike, with
46:17
Speaker 1: stakes so high they couldn't have afforded to fail on
46:19
Speaker 1: the promise that Kennedy made the promise to put a
46:22
Speaker 1: man on the moon by nineteen seventy, and he seemingly
46:25
Speaker 1: posthumously made good on that promise just in time. Despite
46:28
Speaker 1: the initial sluggish progress made in the United States space program,
46:32
Speaker 1: so the United States suddenly searched forward in incredibly difficult technology,
46:37
Speaker 1: far surpassing what had been done before they got there,
46:40
Speaker 1: just in time, saving America from worldwide embarrassment and shame.
46:43
Speaker 1: And not to mention, the first landing on the Moon
46:45
Speaker 1: went relatively well compared to what one would expect, and
46:49
Speaker 1: every single question conspiracy theorists ask seems to have an
46:52
Speaker 1: official answer, but one little detail could result in a
46:55
Speaker 1: bit more cledence to the claims. NASA, long after the
46:58
Speaker 1: theories began, was upset by the work of conspiracy theorists,
47:03
Speaker 1: so in two thousand and two, they granted fifteen thousand
47:06
Speaker 1: dollars to a man named James Oberg for a commission.
47:09
Speaker 1: James's job was to write a point by point rebuttal
47:12
Speaker 1: of all the claims that supported a conspiracy. NASA canceled
47:16
Speaker 1: that project later that year, as many claimed that the
47:19
Speaker 1: book only dignified the accusations of a moonlanding conspiracy, but
47:23
Speaker 1: James said that he was going to finish the book anyways,
47:25
Speaker 1: and in November of that year, Peter Jennings, a television journalist,
47:29
Speaker 1: said that NASA was so rattled that they spent a
47:32
Speaker 1: few thousand dollars trying to refute conspiracy theorists. So why
47:36
Speaker 1: were they so defensive if the landings were real. Could
47:39
Speaker 1: it have just been a project to silence what they
47:41
Speaker 1: saw as Heckler's or was the institution afraid of these
47:44
Speaker 1: claims making further ground. Did they see a future in
47:47
Speaker 1: which someone finally found a piece of evidence that they
47:50
Speaker 1: just couldn't explain away. NASA and its proponents seemed to
47:53
Speaker 1: have a response to every single question asked. But could
47:56
Speaker 1: this simply be because they created the reality that people
47:59
Speaker 1: are questioning. When they hold the reality of the Moon
48:01
Speaker 1: landings in their hands, doesn't that mean that they could
48:04
Speaker 1: say anything that matches what they want us to believe.
48:06
Speaker 1: They could even falsify data and information, falsify reports, falsify
48:11
Speaker 1: images just to go with their theory. These are questions
48:13
Speaker 1: that lie outside of the realm that even most conspiracy
48:16
Speaker 1: theorists would ask. But when something is so highly questioned,
48:19
Speaker 1: how can we be sure? People all over the world
48:21
Speaker 1: ask if man has ever stepped foot beyond the borders
48:24
Speaker 1: of our planet. Some believe that Apollo eleven never made
48:27
Speaker 1: it to the Moon, but the later missions were a success.
48:29
Speaker 1: Some believe that no spaceflight has ever successfully landed on
48:32
Speaker 1: the Moon, and the biggest question answered as being a
48:35
Speaker 1: lack of funding was why if NASA successfully put men
48:38
Speaker 1: on the Moon six times, has no other country ever
48:41
Speaker 1: done the same? And why have we never done it?
48:44
Speaker 1: Since the manned missions to the Moon ended in the seventies,
48:47
Speaker 1: surely we would have more to learn about our cosmic neighbor. No. Yet,
48:51
Speaker 1: the Moon's surface has remained untouched by man, silent and
48:54
Speaker 1: empty since December of nineteen seventy two, or perhaps at
48:58
Speaker 1: the end of the day, surface has never been touched
49:02
Speaker 1: at all. So everybody, thank you for watching today's episode.
49:06
Speaker 1: That was crazy. I mean, even if you fully believe
49:10
Speaker 1: that we went to the Moon and that we landed
49:12
Speaker 1: on the Moon, you have to at least question everything
49:15
Speaker 1: for a moment, because this is the perfect conspiracy theory.
49:18
Speaker 1: There's a ton of evidence that refutes the official narrative.
49:22
Speaker 1: There are weird signs hidden in Hollywood movies. There are
49:25
Speaker 1: people that worked in the program that have defected and
49:28
Speaker 1: said that, oh, they had knowledge that this was fake.
49:30
Speaker 1: There's all these inconsistencies in data and reporting, and there's
49:35
Speaker 1: a reason why this conspiracy would have existed. The space race,
49:40
Speaker 1: American dominance, the Vietnam War distraction, and we all know
49:43
Speaker 1: that the government lies to us, So why wouldn't they
49:45
Speaker 1: lie about this? I don't know. I need you guys
