Theories of the Moon landing hoax

Moon landing hoax theories claim that the Apollo missions were faked by NASA, often suggesting the landings were staged to win the Space Race. Proponents argue that inconsistencies in photographs, shadows, flag movement, and the absence of stars in images point to studio filming. They also cite the challenge of radiation in the Van Allen belts and the complexity of the technology at the time. However, these theories lack credible evidence, and experts have debunked them repeatedly. The overwhelming scientific and photographic evidence confirms humans did land on the Moon between 1969 and 1972.
