“Neil Armstrong never walked on the moon”
HIGH CONFIDENCE
TL;DR ·Historical records and physical evidence confirm Neil Armstrong walked on the moon in 1969.
WHAT WE FOUND
Neil Armstrong walked on the moon on July 20, 1969, as part of the Apollo 11 mission . High-credibility sources state there is no evidence the moon landing was faked and extensive evidence that it occurred . Physical proof includes a lunar laser ranging retroreflector array planted by Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, which remains operational and allows scientists to measure the distance to the moon . Independent verification was provided by the Jodrell Bank radio telescope in the U.K. and the Bochum Radio Observatory in Germany, both of which tracked signals and voices coming directly from the lunar surface . Even the Soviet Union, the primary space-race rival of the United States, reported the landings as factual in the Great Soviet Encyclopedia . Claims that the landing was filmed on a set or that the moon is made of light are categorized as debunked conspiracy theories .
