One of them, however, involves a milestone in the history of Humanity: the arrival of man on the Moon. The Apollo program managed to place missions XI, XII, XIV, XV, XVI and XVII on the lunar surface, and its astronauts carried out a series of experiments on its surface; However, the theory that everything was a fraud began to gain strength; that we never reached the Moon, that the landings were faked and everything was filmed in a TV studio, deceiving millions of people. And they say they have proof. Many tests. Let&#039;s see what this is about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Pseudoscience says...<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>The Apollo moon landings were a fraud.

But this rumor gained strength from a documentary broadcast by FOX in 2001, called &quot;<em>Conspiracy Theory: Did we land on the Moon?<\/em>\u00ab, presented by actor Mitch Pileggi from the series The X-Files. In this program a series of \u00abevidence\u00bb against the moon landings was presented, which was enough to unleash a controversy and division between defenders and opponents of the conquest of the Moon, that July 20, 1969. Below I will go over the supposed evidence of fraud, presenting the scientific arguments against it.
