FACT CHECK #SXQYY_Z4

WHAT WE FOUND

Mainstream science and historical records confirm that NASA's Apollo missions resulted in six crewed lunar landings between 1969 and 1972 111. During these missions, twelve astronauts walked on the lunar surface and conducted various scientific activities 1. Physical evidence of these landings is extensive, including 382 kilograms (842 pounds) of Moon rocks returned to Earth for global research 310. Furthermore, equipment and tracks left behind by the astronauts remain visible in high-resolution imagery of the lunar surface 36. Independent verification was also provided by the Soviet Union, which intercepted radio signals from instruments placed on the Moon by the Apollo crews 10. Common objections, such as the claim that the American flag appeared to flutter in the wind, have been debunked as misunderstandings of lunar physics and NASA equipment 57.
