@blackguard19 I'm totally on board with you. I came around to the Apollo moon landing hoax a little less than 20 years ago and I haven't stopped talking about it since then, at least with my long-suffering family and friends. I also watch "What Happened on the Moon", along with a few other such documentaries, but WHOTM is far and away the best of the bunch.

As a documentary that discusses the numerous arguments against the very possibility of getting to the moon and the bizarre anomalies in the documentary evidence, it would have been very helpful if the creators of the documentary had put titles between the various segments so we would know what they were going to talk about next. I have breakdown I began years ago for the first part but lost momentum to complete the second part. (Not because I'm lazy, but I had some other things going on where I couldn't find the time.) I'd like to share it with you because you seem like my kind of guy and you'd find value in it.

The moon landing hoax is taken for granted in most parts of the world. In the former Soviet Union, no one believed it, partly for political reasons and partly for practical scientific reasons. The Soviets were not able to put men on the moon and didn't even try because they knew it was impossible with existing technology and never believed either the US or NASA surmounted the challenges of the Van Allen belt and the blasting ambient radiation beyond that.

The Soviets did, however, put two rovers on the moon, which is quite verifiable and collected samples, some of which were tested on the lunar surface and extremely small quantities of which were returned to Earth. I recommend the document "Tank on the Moon". It's National Geographic, but still pretty objective.

Sibrel’s film was pivotal for my opening up to the Apollo hoax, and watching it for the first time was truly an unforgettable and mind-blowing experience. It’s very powerful and effective just from a production standpoint and really draws you in right from the opening montage of failed rocket launches overlaid with haunting renaissance-style choral singing. I have even personally emailed Sibrel to thank him for the movie and tell him how much it helped change my perspective and he actually replied, even inviting me to visit his church if I’m ever in Nashville again.

However, I have come to change my views on Sibrel or at least that movie. While I still appreciate the film as well as it’s follow-up Astronauts Gone Wild, and without boring you with the interstitial details of how I reached these conclusions, I now stand convinced that the “leaked” footage Sibrel claims he received from NASA, is actually also part of the Apollo cover-up. In other words words the scene from “low earth orbit” where they were faking the earth being seen as a far away ball out the porthole, I also believe this to be entirely staged.

No one goes to orbit, or the moon. I also must disagree that the Soviets or any other nation has ever put any people or craft on the moon. Because as a matter of fact it’s not “verifiable.” There was no space race, any more than there was really a Cold War. The USSR and now Russia are complicit in faking space missions like the ISS. It was a long road full of cognitive dissonance for me to accept these things and probably took me an additional two years to digest after first seeing Sibrel’s film and realizing that Apollo was a hoax.

This sounds like some bizarre form of solipsism -- nothing is real outside of Earth. I don't suppose you also believe in a flat Earth, do you?

I don’t know that the earth is flat and I think that “flat earth theory” is basically a misnomer. The larger point is that “outer space” is fake and we are in an enclosed system. What is outside our system, if anything, I obviously can only guess. But for example, a vacuum (space) cannot exist next to a pressurized system (atmosphere) without a barrier in between. Also there is no observable or measurable movement/rotation of the earth.
