mission moon was fake ?
Forty years after U.S. astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon, many conspiracy theorists still insist the Apollo 11 moon landing was an elaborate hoax. Examine the photographic evidence, and find out why experts say some of the most common claims simply don't hold water.

2. THE OTHER MAN ?
Only two astronauts
walked on the moon at a time, yet in photographs such as this one where both
are visible, there is no sign of a camera. So who took the picture?
The fact of the
matter is - the
moon's surface reflects sunlight, and that glare would have made stars
difficult to see. Also, the astronauts photographed their lunar adventures
using fast exposure settings, which would have limited incoming background
light.
3. My God, it's full of stars
The astronauts made no such
exclamation while on the moon, and the black backgrounds of their photographs
are curiously devoid of stars.
