NASA has stated that Moon mission has its share of conspiracy, which includes people who believe that ncy actually faked Apollo Moon missions that took place during 1960s and 1970s. ncy also finds it amusing that people still question Moon landings that happened years ago. NASA explained that people continue to cite things such as “American flag waving” in , despite plausible explanation that it was, in fact, test-firing thrusters close to flag that h caused it to wave. Ar claim was that re was actually a spring inside deployment boom that would continue to shake flag in an airless vacuum while making it look like it was waving.

NASA has stated that ncy has all answers to se questions and various doubts raised by people. However, one of strongest arguments apart from LRO’s evidence is a fact that all Apollo missions were monitored independently by England and Russia, where both countries h even sent m congratulatory letters after successful landings. ncy also explained that Russians would have actually called m out on ir bluff, h landings t happened.
