It has been at least 46 years since mankind first stepped onto the moon. This event is considered one of the most important accomplishments that humanity has ever done. However, at this point some people still believe that such an event did not happen, and it was all just massive propaganda used by the United States in order to bankrupt the Soviet Union at the time. This idea about the Apollo mission being fake seems illogical. My perspective about this is that the U.S actually did land on the moon. Those who do not believe may want to reconsider their view towards this issue. This paper, will present evidence supporting the statement of why I believe that the moon landings did occur and try to discredit any fake information presented in the

Many theorists have argued that this video clearly contains clues to prove the fakery of the mission. In the article “Apollo 11 Moon Landing, Conspiracy Theory Debunked,” written by Richard Holts, he provides numerous evidence of why he believes that the moon landings were a hoax. One particular reason that he provides, is the fact that in the video the American flag is waving and this seems really odd because there is no wind on the moon. At first this argument does make a good point stating that there is no wind in space for the flag to move back and forth. However, if there is no wind in space to move an object, there is also no wind to stop it. “The Great Moon Hoax”, is an article written by NASA, which states that “not every waving flag needs a breeze—at least not in space. When astronauts were planting the flagpole, they rotated back and forth to better penetrate the lunar soil”(Moon hoax). To put this into perspective, scientists say that in space anything can move with a simple push. That being said, when the astronauts stack the flag on the moon`s surface, it was logical that it will move like if it was on
