WHAT WE FOUND
High-credibility sources confirm that there is no credible evidence the moon landing was faked . In contrast, there is extensive positive evidence that the landings occurred, including independent physical and photographic verification and the collection of lunar rocks . Scientific analysis demonstrates that a conspiracy of this scale would have required over 400,000 participants, making it impossible to maintain secrecy . Common claims used to support the hoax theory, such as the fluttering flag or mismatched footprints, have been debunked as misunderstandings of lunar physics and equipment . While a significant portion of the public may believe the event was a hoax due to distrust of the government, these beliefs lack evidentiary support .
