NASA landed astronauts on the moon in 1969. By the 1970s, a bizarre conspiracy emerged — that the moon landing never happened. "We Never Went to the Moon: America's Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle," said a self-published book in 1976. Even as recent as 2001, a Fox documentary, "Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?" gave air time to the claims that the whole Apollo moon-landing program was faked. There's the issue of the hundreds of pounds of moon rocks that have been studied around the world and verified as being of extraterrestrial origin. How did NASA get the rocks if not during a moon landing? Why would scientists from around the globe willingly participate in the American space agency's hoax? Is everyone asked to keep their mouths shut? If so, why? Would YOU do this if it was offered? Would you betray your nation? The whole world?
