Millions watched in awe earlier this year as NASA's Artemis II crew completed a daring trip around the moon – but it seems not everyone was convinced.
A viral video has captured the painfully awkward moment a conspiracy theorist accosted the astronauts on Capitol Hill.
Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen were confronted by an aggressive man who accused them of faking the moon mission.
'Stop lying! Stop acting! You all never went to space,' the man shouted as he filmed himself approaching the crew.
The befuddled crew simply stood in uncomfortable silence as the man berated them, apparently trying their best to pretend he wasn't there.
The man continued: 'Follow Jesus! God's watching you all!'
As Glover smiled and gave an uneasy wave, he went on: 'Stop lying to the public! Your psyop isn't working on millions of us! NASA's a joke!'
The Artemis II crew were hastily ushered away, yet the pursuing conspiracy theorist continued to hurl abuse, adding: 'Repent before God, y'all! I see through your lies! I know you never went to space! God's watching you all!'
The tense encounter was reminiscent of a similar run–in between Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin and the moon–landing denier Bart Sibrel in 2002.
Mr Aldrin, who was 72 at the time, ended that particular argument by punching Mr Sibrel in the face.
However, the Artemis II crew managed to keep cooler heads during their altercation with the conspiracy theorist.
On X, space fans praised the astronauts' composure, jokingly pointing out Christina Koch's rather confused expression.
One commenter wrote: 'Christina was too stunned to speak by this level of stupidness.'
Another added: 'She had to smile through that VEEERY awkward moment.'
And another bluntly wrote: 'They're so polite, I'd smack him in the face.'
While the vast majority of social media users were shocked by the wild claims about fake space missions, a few internet–dwelling conspiracy theorists hailed this unknown individual as a hero.
'CALLING THEM OUT IN THE CAPITAL....100%' wrote one conspiracy account on X.
Another said: 'Artemis II astronauts being called liars to their faces. Love it.'
And one chimed in: 'We know!!!! How much did you guys get paid??? You are a mockery to the world!!!'
Thankfully, claims that the Artemis II mission was faked are easily debunked by the vast quantities of evidence collected by the crew.
NASA livestreamed the entire 10–day mission, and the astronauts collected an enormous trove of photos and scientific observations.
These included the discovery of new craters on the moon's far side and observations of meteor impacts taking place in real time.

I thought he was shot with an 8.0mm Mauser? That’s the rifle the shooter had
“Most live in the desert in a single wide trailer with 30 cats.”
That could explain alot. There are viruses cats can spread to humans that effect them mentally.
But they always have an explanation for the evidence, for example if they can fake the moon landings, they can now fake the non-existent technology thru AI or trick photography.
I haven’t checked the thread in a few minutes has anyone argued the earth is flat not round.

“I mean, you seem to know or at least claim to have information that the rest of us do not have.”
How so? You are undoubtedly conspiracy minded.
What I claim is that to have a murder of that magnitude, it takes careful planning, and careful planning involves a conspiracy. Every time. Can you admit that?
The attempt on Trump’s life at Butler took careful planning. The FBI claims it did not.
Conspiracies form the warp and woof of our lives. Every TV drama, every movie, features a conspiracy and a hero trying to stop it, unravel it, etc. Every novel ever written involves the same thing.
In literature, there are supposed to be only about fifty plot lines and they all involve conspiracies. Except the Greeks were fascinated with one that is unmentionable.
All the time: Biking, running, weights, shooting, chopping wood...grilling...
Maybe cut back on your red meat consumption.
No. But you do you, soiboi.
You are a nut burger.
You are a nutcase.
Take them to the Moon and push them out an airlock.
Sorry, I'm not gonna defend one or another side of an argument just because you assume that I'm somehow obligated to.
I simply made a request to you, out of curiosity, to please provide what your evidence is to support your assertion so we can discuss it.
In fact, I even provided you an example, that being the stupid decision to not allow drone flights over the adjacent buildings. Something that probably would have save Charlie's life IMO.
You seem predisposed in a different direction though, so it's time for me to go do some real stuff.
The “Flat Earth” morons have another cult to add to the list. Those who think the space travel is a staged event are the same mental midgets who believed Trump’s last assassination attempt was staged. It is all in their upbringing. When their mom told them that drinking from the mud puddle would make them sick, they did it.
They found the rifle that Robinson used. Do you know what type it was?
Among the most enduring legacies of the Apollo missions are the Lunar Laser Ranging Retroreflectors left by Apollo 11, 14, and 15. These mirrored panels, still in use today, reflect laser beams sent from Earth, allowing scientists to measure the distance to the Moon with remarkable precision.
Yes, Apollo astronauts placed some fancy laser mirrors on the Moon, something that’s easy to trace by simply beaming laser towards it.

“There’s people on FR that refuse to believe Tyler Robinson murdered Charlie Kirk.”
Name them or you’re slandering all FReepers. Seriously, I’d like to know who they are by name.
“...to please provide what your evidence is to support your assertion so we can discuss it.”
I did. You are just too stupid to recogize it.
Now, go off and do your real stuff, like pull your head out of your ass.
You want my resume? GFY!
I suppose you know all about the "technology." We had Creola Katherine Johnson, whose genius mind made calculations of orbital mechanics as a NASA employee. These calculations were critical to the success of the first and subsequent U.S. crewed spaceflights. During her 33-year career at NASA she earned a reputation for mastering complex manual calculations and helped pioneer the use of computers to perform tasks previously requiring humans. Inside the space capsules were the electronics made possible with an emerging micro-chip technology. I have a FM receiver I built in that era that uses a micro-chip to auto tune the FM signal. Our venture to the moon brought breakthrough technology to things we now take for granted.
