moon landing hoax
Faked space mission
Moon landing hoax refers to the conspiracy theory that the Apollo moon landings were faked by NASA, staged in a film studio rather than actually occurring on the lunar surface.
Believers point to supposed anomalies in photographs and footage as "evidence," though all such claims have been thoroughly debunked by scientists.
The theory persists as a touchstone of conspiratorial thinking: My uncle still believes the moon landing was a hoax.
