It’s the mother of all conspiracy theories: the unflinching belief that the 1969 Moon landing never actually happened.
Proponents of this seemingly unshakeable conviction argue that what the masses perceived as a groundbreaking scientific achievement was in fact an elaborate fake: a hoax perpetrated by NASA and the US government on the American (and international) public at large.
With everything we know about the Apollo 11 mission and the mountains of evidence NASA makes available it’s amazing this conspiracy theory is still alive and kicking in late 2018.
But there’s a very good reason why it is.
Aside from all the psychological traps that make people susceptible to falling for conspiracy theories, one of the main reasons people keep suspecting the Moon landing was faked is because other people keep implying it was.
Case in point: Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Russia’s national space agency, Roscosmos, just fed this unkillable rumour in a filmed meeting with the president of Moldova, Igor Dodon.
In a video of the exchange posted on Rogozin’s Twitter feed on Saturday, the Roscosmos chief was asked whether NASA really did land on the Moon almost 50 years ago.
In response, Rogozin proposes a new Russian mission will investigate the controversial claims: “We have set this objective to fly and verify whether they’ve been there or not,” he says.
