Anyone that was alive in 1969 are often asked where they were during the first moon landing and for those people, it is terrifying to think that the things we recognize as historical, groundbreaking events could have been planned or staged by the government. The Apollo 11 moon landing was viewed by 600 million people who were amazed by it at the time. America had beat Russia in the race to the moon! Although, modern technology has been able to take a closer look at all of the details that do not quite add up. Therefore, some people believe the first American moon landing was staged as a tactic to beat the Soviet Union in the space race.
First, there were many scientific reasons that the moon landing did not add up. For instance, …show more content…

To start, there were no stars in the video where one would think there would be a better visual of the stars. At that time Hollywood was not prepared to edit in something like stars without it looking incredibly fake so NASA must have decided to ignore the stars and hope that no watchers would notice (Myers and Pearlman). With the clear view of the stars, there is a clear view of the sun as well. The sun points directly at the moon, therefore the moon takes damaging solar radiation. Therefore, enough radiation to melt film, but there is video and pictures from that highly radiation environment. Furthermore, if the sun shines directly on the moon so the shadows should have been pointing in the same direction, but the shadows are pointing in two or three different directions, as if projected from under stage lights (Myers and Pearlman). Proof of the sage lights further while zooming into a certain frame of the moon landing, one might be able to spot the reflection in a helmet of an actual stage light. There is another frame where a man without a spacesuit where a waistcoat with long hair can be seen, the same fashion in the late 60’s or 70’s (Myers and
