Moon Landing Hoax If you’ve got a friend and she reveals to you that she believes the moon landing was faked and we, as the human race, have never made it to outer space, do not be surprised. Many other people in the world probably also have friends who harbor this weird belief as well. The fact is that millions of Americans today (as well as other people in the world) believe that the moon landing was a hoax. Although that number seems rather large, it is nothing compared to the number that does believe the U.S landed on the moon.

EDT engines fire and the Apollo 11 is launched into Earth’s orbit. After the Apollo 11 is given the “go”, they head towards the moon and three days later are in lunar orbit. A day after they enter the Moons orbit it’s time for Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to start descending to the moon’s surface. At exactly 4:18 p.m. EDT, the lunar module lands. They announce that they have landed and about 6 hours later are ready to step out onto the moon. At exactly 10:56 p.m. EDT Armstrong and Aldrin are prepared. While being filmed live on national television, Armstrong climbs down the ladder with his famous quote, “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.” (qtd. in One Giant Leap For Mankind). Aldrin shortly climbs down after him and they start to explore the surface of the moon for two and a half hours. They take photographs, collect samples of dust, rocks etc. When they’re ready to go back to Earth, they leave behind an American flag, a plaque on one of the lunar modules legs which reads, “Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the moon, July 1969 A.D. We came in peace for all mankind.” (qtd. in One Giant Leap For Mankind), and a patch to honor the fallen Apollo 1
