One Small Step for Man, One Giant Hoax for Mankind?
New Claims Revive Debate Over 1969 Moon Landing, Suggesting It Was Filmed in a Hollywood Basement
Admin
In a shocking turn of events that no one saw coming (again), a new viral documentary titled “LunaCine: The Apollo Hoax” is making waves online by claiming, once more, that the historic 1969 moon landing was nothing more than an elaborate film set directed by none other than Stanley Kubrick… using a potato and some tinfoil.
The film features interviews with self-proclaimed “space truther” experts, one of whom insists that “the moon doesn’t even exist, it’s a giant lightbulb in the sky turned on by NASA whenever Elon Musk tweets.”
📷 The Shadowy Evidence
Conspiracy theorists argue that shadows in the moon landing footage fall in multiple directions, suggesting multiple light sources. “Last I checked,” says amateur photographer Craig Witherbee, “the moon doesn’t have stage lighting. So who’s running the boom mic up there?”
They also point to the famous fluttering flag. “There’s no air on the moon, right?” asked YouTube theorist @TruthOrNASA. “So why is the American flag doing the Macarena?”
NASA has explained the flag’s movement as a result of it being twisted into place, but let’s be honest — who reads NASA press releases?
🎥 Hollywood or Moon?
According to one anonymous former janitor at Universal Studios, “I once saw a set labeled ‘MOON ROOM – NO ENTRY’ in 1968. Coincidence? I think not.” The documentary also claims that Kubrick cryptically admitted his involvement in The Shining, where room 237 allegedly refers to the average distance to the moon in thousands of miles (even though it’s actually about 238,900 miles — but who’s counting?).
🧠 Expert Opinions?
Experts in astrophysics, aerospace engineering, and reality continue to maintain that the moon landing was real, backed by mountains of evidence — including retroreflectors still on the moon and data shared globally.
But conspiracy advocate Linda Flatstone isn’t convinced. “If the Earth is flat, and the moon landing is real, that makes zero sense. You can’t land on a circle in space if you’re on a pancake. That’s basic geometry.”
🌝 The Final Verdict?
Despite overwhelming evidence, the debate persists — largely fueled by distrust in institutions, blurry YouTube videos, and people who think aluminum foil hats are fashionable.
Whether the moon landing was an incredible scientific achievement or a high-budget Stanley Kubrick film, one thing remains certain: we’ll probably be arguing about it until we colonize Mars — or until someone claims that was filmed in a basement too.
