If you're at this page because you've just seen an amazing piece of footage showing the Apollo 11 moonlanding to have been shot in a studio, then read on. If you haven't seen the clip, click the link below, and prepare to be amazed.
At 4:17 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, on July 20, 1969 Neil Armstrong was seen on television by millions of people around the world apparently walking on the surface of the moon, and making one giant leap into the pages of history. BUT DID HE? Conspiracy theories abound on the Internet.
The piece of footage you just saw answers the question - but raises a lot of others. We don't know the answers to all these questions - but here is what we do know:
1) Is it real? Yes. This footage was clearly shot in a studio, and is clearly meant to represent the Apollo 11 moon landing. The attention to detail is staggering. The intention is clearly to fool viewers into believing that it is genuine.
2) Is it conclusive? No. There is no proof that because this was shot in a studio, the moon landing was necessarily faked. But we do know that the original non-digital footage was destroyed and that certain (dangerous) people are very angry that this clip has leaked.
3) How did we get it? We did not get it directly from a NASA source. Our source is well placed to vouch for the authenticity of the footage and had links with the makers of 2 recent documentaries, one for the BBC and one for CNN about the moonlanding conspiracies. We cannot possibly reveal his identity, and probably never will be able to. His position is more dangerous than you might imagine.
4) Why haven't I seen it before? The footage has been buried for over 30 years. All the original stock, except this cut, was destroyed. We have had it for over 2 years and in that time have (anonymously) approached almost every large TV network owner to sell the rights. Without exception they were interested and offered to buy it. At one point they were also Then, also without exception they changed their minds and started to try to find out who we were. At that point we stopped dealing with them. It was scary as hell.
5) How, when and where was it made? It was made in 1965, judging by the camera it was shot on - an Ikegami Tube Camera. We have evidence that the footage was shot outside the US - possibly in Europe, by a foreign crew.
6) Who is inside the suit? Not one of the original astronauts. In fact, they are totally unaware that this footage was ever shot. The guy in the suit is an actor called Symond Lewis.
7) Why is it on the Internet and not on TV? See point 4
8) What is NASA's reaction to this footage? They have refused to comment. But we have recently heard that they are stepping up efforts on a huge PR campaign to convince us all that the Apollo moonlandings all took place.

Seen it. Still funny.
To: mikegi
Someone should ask Buzz Aldrin what he thinks of the moon mission being fake.
Oops, looks like
someone already did.
To: mikegi
Is this a joke?

It had to be restaged several times over the next few years, evidently to get it right.

Yes, go to the sight and see the link directly under the one to the video. Something about "this is all bullsh*t" or something like that.

"Mr Aldrin, famous for his participation in the Apollo 11 moon landing in 1969, hit Bart Sibrel after he approached the former astronaut outside a hotel in Beverley Hills, Los Angeles and demanded he swear on a Bible that the landing was not staged.
Yay! Good for him.
I believe that this was all started because of that blasted Fox special a few years ago.

Big whoop. Who is to say that that footage wasn't shot a few years ago with an old camera?
Any one notice the magically appearing box on the horizon after the light strikes the "astronaut"? Or how about the odd jump off of the ladder (an obvious edit).
I think this clip is bogus, not the moon landing.

Just consider the implications for secrecy in faking the moon landing. Hundreds if not thousands of NASA civil servants and contractors would have to knowing perpetrate this fraud upon the public. The swearing to secrecy of the number of people required to pull this off is staggering.
Our government, especially NASA, is not that competent.
To: mikegi
This ranks right up there with the alien
Ever wonder how these Yahoos can't explain the laser measurements that use the corner reflectors that the astronauts left on the moon? At a time when the JFK controversey has our attention we certainly don't need to don our tin foil hats to ward off these "pictures"!
