Over time, the Moon landing theories have evolved, especially with the emergence of the internet, allowing for the rapid spread of misinformation.
Conspiracy theorists often point to perceived anomalies in photographic and video footage of the Moon landing.
One commonly cited example is the appearance of the American flag, which seemingly flutters as if in a breeze, despite the lack of atmosphere on the Moon.
According to the National Space Center, the flag isn’t flapping and its appearance is down to the astronauts twisting the pole into the ground, causing the flag to be disturbed. It kept the bent shape due to the lack of strong gravity on the Moon.
Another frequent argument is the absence of stars in the photographs.
Skeptics claim the sky should have been filled with stars when in reality, they’re there – it’s just the camera struggles to capture such a contract.
