- PolitiFact has fact-checked plenty of claims that the moon landing was a hoax. It wasn’t; on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the moon. And out of context, the photo of the phone President Richard Nixon used to call the astronauts belies the technology used to make that communication happen.

- The flapping flag. Another claim is that the famous US flag, which appears in photos of the moment, appears to be flapping in the wind. Doubters say there wouldn't be wind on the Moon as there is no air.
- It wasn't impossible. Some people don't believe in the space shuttle and the missions to the Moon because they think the journey itself was impossible because of something called the Van Allen belts.
- Moon rocks. Another piece of evidence for the landing is the fact that the astronauts came back with rocks from its surface. They returned with more than 842 pounds (382kg) of Moon rocks, which have been shared and studied by scientists in many countries for decades.
Aug 12, 2008 · In July 1969, Man first walked on the Moon. Over the course of three more years, we did it five more times.

“One of the first arguments I heard and one of the easiest to debunk…is the fact that there are no stars in the lunar sky,” Fienberg says.

Therefore, the fact that you can see some objects in shadow must be the result of special Hollywoodlighting. The problem with this theory is that although the...
In one of the pictures from the moon landing, you can see Armstrong clearly reflected in Aldrin’s visor. Some skeptics have pointed out that Armstrong does not appear to be holding a camera, so someone else must be taking the picture. But that isn’t true. Armstrong couldn’t walk around the moon with a regular hand-held camera. In his bulky suit, he...

- There’s a rock with the letter ‘C’ on it. In one of the lunar images, it’s clear to see the letter ‘C’ marked on a rock. This is surely evidence of a studio prop.
- The camera crosshairs appear behind objects. The cameras used for the Moon Landing had been fitted with a clear glass plate engraved with a grid of crosshairs, known as a Réseau plate.
