Moon Landing Truthers Say Photo is Proof of Faked Apollo Landing
A satirical look at current events!

Moon Landing Truthers Say Photo is Proof of Faked Apollo Landing: Moon landing truthers - who have been claiming for years that the NASA moon landings are fake and actually filmed on a Hollywood soundstage and not the Moon - have been in a state of total excitation of late, thanks to a new picture posted recently on YouTube. The picture appears to show an image of the individual who took the snapshot reflecting off an Apollo 17 astronaut’s visor - and now Moon truthers are claiming that this individual doesn’t even appear to have a spacesuit on and is probably a Hollywood stagehand and not another astronaut.
Well, I gotta say - it all sounds plausible to me. I mean, when you think about it - all you’d really need to pull something like this off would be thousands and thousands of paid extras who would be willing to keep all this a secret for decades and decades, not to mention all the countries who would have been monitoring a US Moon landing such as the USSR, the People’s Republic of China and North Korea. I’m sure they would all have been more than happy to go along with a scam like this as they would naturally wish to do anything they in their power to further enhance the prestige of the United States. On the other hand, I think it’s fairly safe to assume that not many of these conspiracy theorists are rocket scientists.
That said, this YouTube pic is rather grainy. I mean, for all I know, that image reflecting off the astronaut’s visor could be Harvey Weinstein getting ready to grope one of the actresses on the Moon soundstage, but he became distracted after he came upon a copy of Barack Obama’s birth certificate. But hell, if you’re gonna go the conspiracy route, why stop at the moon landing? I’ll bet Columbus’ voyage to America was staged too. Meanwhile, not to be upstaged by a bunch of conspiracy theorist wannabes, ultra-conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is now claiming that he once had documented evidence that the moon landing was all staged, but unfortunately, all of that evidence has mysteriously disappeared somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle.

Now, I’m sure by now many of you are wondering - if this Moon landing was staged by Hollywood, how on “Earth” did they pull it off? Well, I have my own theory. First, NASA hires a prominent Hollywood director to film a fake Moon landing, but it soon becomes obvious to the producers that the cost of building such an elaborate set would be far too expensive for their budget. So, in order to save money, the director gets a brilliant idea, why not film the entire fake Moon landing - right on location? Mystery solved!
