00:00Conspiracy theorists are going bonkers over a new NASA video they claim proves the Artemis
00:042 mission to the moon is staged in front of a green screen.
00:08The Brave crew gave a live interview over the weekend to CNN discussing their journey
00:12to the moon, while a plush toy named Rise floated around the capsule as a sign of zero
00:17gravity.
00:18But a clip of the interview filmed by a cell phone from the TV allegedly shows visual distortions
00:22and flickers of text, including the letters TAN and OW across the toy's body and head.
00:29Conspiracists quickly seized on the clip as supposed proof that the entire mission was
00:34staged.
00:35Green screen studio glitching on the Artemis moon mission?
00:37It's all fake, one ex-user wrote.
00:40Pure green screen bullsh**.
00:41Same exact fabric they use on movie sets.
00:44Artemis?
00:45Fake as hell.
00:46They never went up there.
00:47Whole thing's a staged circus, and were the idiots paying for it?
00:51Truths buried under layers of CGI and lies.
00:55Wake up man, a second ex-user added.
00:57However, the more likely explanation appears to be that the clip was recorded from a TV
01:02display with chroma key overlay processing active.
01:06Chroma key, also known as green screen or blue screen effect, is commonly used by broadcasters
01:11to insert captions, graphics, and lower third text into live footage.
01:16Live interviews often include graphic overlays such as captions, logos, and name banners, which
01:21are digitally layered in real time over the video.
01:24The live video and graphics can suffer mismatches, causing fragments of the on-screen text to
01:29briefly overlap with bright or moving objects, such as the plush toy in the video, making
01:35it seem as if the letters were appearing on it.
01:37NASA and CNN's original footage shows the toy floating normally without the strange color
01:42distortions or the flickering letters seen in the viral clip.
01:45During the vessel's historic launch last week, a podcaster shot down conspiracy theorists
01:49who claimed the mission was all green screened by touching grass on a live stream.
01:54NASA winds need to prove to you that this is real.
02:13Artemis II began its historic flyby of the Moon on April 6th in What is the mission's
02:18showstopper event, giving its crew and Earthlings back home their first glimpses ever of parts
02:24of the lunar dark side.
02:25The capsule began the flyby around 2.45 p.m. Eastern Time and will spend just over six
02:30hours arcing around the moon, with its windows pointed toward the far side of the lunar surface.
