FACT CHECK #VMHLSHCE

WHAT WE FOUND

Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the moon on July 20, 1969, during the Apollo 11 mission 89. High-credibility sources, including Reuters and the American Philosophical Society, state there is no evidence that the moon landing was faked and provide transcripts and photographic evidence of the event 139. While conspiracy theorists have claimed the landings were filmed in a studio or that the astronauts did not actually walk on the surface, these claims have been repeatedly debunked by experts and historical records 4611. Source 3 specifically notes a photo showing Armstrong reflected in Buzz Aldrin's helmet visor while on the lunar surface 3.
