00:00July 20th, 1969.
00:02600 million people watched as Neil Armstrong took that historic step on the moon.
00:07But over 50 years later, not everyone's convinced it really happened.
00:11This isn't about claiming the Earth is flat or that space doesn't exist.
00:15This is about asking one simple question.
00:18What if the moon landing wasn't what we were told?
00:20Start with the context. It was the Cold War.
00:23America was desperate to beat the Soviet Union to the moon.
00:26Billions of dollars. Reputations on the line.
00:29Failure wasn't an option.
00:31Then come the questions.
00:34Why does the flag appear to wave in a vacuum?
00:36Why are there no stars in any of the photos?
00:39Why do some shadows in the footage fall in different directions, as if lit by multiple light sources?
00:44NASA says the flag was stiffened with wire.
00:47They say the cameras couldn't capture stars.
00:49They say the strange shadows were due to uneven terrain.
00:53Maybe they're right. Maybe not.
00:55But then it gets more curious.
00:57In 2006, NASA admitted they lost the original telemetry data, the master tapes of the moon landing.
01:04Lost? Gone. Erased.
01:06The moon landing cost billions.
01:08Why wouldn't the most important footage in human history be backed up?
01:12And what about the Van Allen radiation belts?
01:15A massive field of radiation surrounds Earth.
01:17NASA says the astronauts pass through it quickly, minimizing exposure.
01:20But some scientists question whether 1960s technology could have protected them.
01:26Then there's the press conference.
01:28Days after returning from the moon, the astronauts seemed tired, awkward, even uncomfortable.
01:33Not like men who just completed the greatest mission in human history.
01:38To be clear, there is no smoking gun.
01:41No definitive proof it was faked.
01:43But there are a lot of loose ends.
01:45A lot of unanswered questions.
01:47And in an age of CGI deepfakes and government secrets, asking questions isn't crazy.
01:52It's necessary.
01:53Maybe the moon landing happened exactly as we were told.
01:57Maybe it was edited, staged, or partially reconstructed.
02:01Maybe we did go, but not everything we saw was real.
02:04All we're saying is don't stop asking questions.
