On July 20, 1969, NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin set foot on the moon for the first time, bounding across the lunar surface and pushing the United States fully into the space age.
But almost immediately — in bars and homes around the country — people refused to believe it was real, and thus, the moon landing conspiracy was born.*
While the particulars of the conspiracy theories have become somewhat nuanced over the years, the idea hinges upon one specific idea: NASA and the U.S. government never sent people to the moon. It was faked.
