(Yes, of course I know that's not the Enterprise-D and that TNG came out in 1986, but you try making a better debunking joke.)

The reason the conspiracy exists is because the video footage is staged to match the audio. Obviously there wasn’t a camera crew on the moon.

Decades since 1969 and not a single one of the thousands of people who would have had to be involved to make this hoax happen has talked. The Soviets also either never caught wind of it or decided not to embarrass their biggest rival who they were constantly trying to embarrass.

This is the best-kept and worst-kept secret at the exact same time. Do you really buy that?

You’re misinterpreting what I’m saying due to my poor word choices haha. I’m not saying it’s fake. The camera is mounted to the lander and there is a delay in the footage because they had to do some kind of conversion in the video to be able to watch on tv. That’s where many of the conspiracy theories come from. Most people don’t know that.

You appear to follow the Vulcan philosophy of IDIC: I Debunk Idiotic Claims.

Looks legit, what's the point here?

The special effects were simply building practical rockets and sending astronauts to the actual moon to make it look unscripted.

My god! They fooled us all by faking the moon landing with an actual moon landing!
