Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,538 --> 00:00:06,372
Keeping it a secret
for 50 years?
2
00:00:06,374 --> 00:00:07,973
That's crazy.
3
00:00:07,975 --> 00:00:10,642
Is there any evidence
to validate the claim.
4
00:00:10,644 --> 00:00:14,413
The apollo 11 moon landing
was staged on a hollywood set?
5
00:00:14,415 --> 00:00:15,881
In pitch-black shadow,
6
00:00:15,883 --> 00:00:18,584
You shouldn't have
any reflective light whatsoever.
7
00:00:18,586 --> 00:00:19,918
That looks totally fake though.
8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:21,086
It's fake for sure.
9
00:00:21,088 --> 00:00:23,355
If the moon has no wind,
then why does it look.
10
00:00:23,357 --> 00:00:27,059
Like the american flag
is waving in the nasa footage?
11
00:00:27,061 --> 00:00:30,329
And did nasa enlist the help
of motion-picture icons.
12
00:00:30,331 --> 00:00:31,897
To direct the production?
13
00:00:31,899 --> 00:00:33,832
Did you have any involvement.
14
00:00:33,834 --> 00:00:37,169
In conducting
a fake lunar landing?
15
00:00:37,171 --> 00:00:39,371
Wait. He got a lens from nasa?
16
00:00:39,373 --> 00:00:40,873
Yeah, yeah.
17
00:00:40,875 --> 00:00:43,575
We're going to hollywood,
to see for ourselves.
18
00:00:43,577 --> 00:00:46,311
If it was possible
to fake the moon landing.
19
00:00:46,313 --> 00:00:49,048
It's really dark.
20
00:00:49,050 --> 00:00:51,750
Holy mackerel,
how does anybody know?
21
00:00:51,752 --> 00:00:53,619
A former fbi agent,
22
00:00:53,621 --> 00:00:57,589
A conspiracy theorist
and former aerospace consultant,
23
00:00:57,591 --> 00:01:03,429
And an american astronaut
are investigating
24
00:01:03,431 --> 00:01:05,631
"the truth
behind the moon landing."

27
00:01:16,811 --> 00:01:18,811
All right. Here we go.
Here we go.
28
00:01:18,813 --> 00:01:21,380
We've come to a big moment
in this investigation.
29
00:01:21,382 --> 00:01:23,615
We're going to dig into
the most controversial.
30
00:01:23,617 --> 00:01:25,918
And perpetuated
conspiracy theory.
31
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,454
Surrounding
the apollo 11 mission...
32
00:01:28,456 --> 00:01:32,224
The theory that the moon
landing was staged.
33
00:01:32,226 --> 00:01:33,625
Guys, take a look at this.
34
00:01:33,627 --> 00:01:35,894
This is the broadcast
on the very day.
35
00:01:35,896 --> 00:01:37,896
Of the apollo 11 moon landing.
36
00:01:37,898 --> 00:01:40,365
July 20, 1969.
37
00:01:42,403 --> 00:01:44,002
Target load to you.
38
00:01:44,004 --> 00:01:45,537
Apollo 11, this is houston.
39
00:01:45,539 --> 00:01:47,339
You are go at five minutes.
40
00:01:47,341 --> 00:01:50,109
Minus 6.8 on delta-vc.
41
00:01:50,111 --> 00:01:51,577
Roger. We copy your
burn status...
42
00:01:51,579 --> 00:01:53,712
Looking at these crude
animations brings me back.
43
00:01:53,714 --> 00:01:55,681
To watching this on tv
as a young boy.
44
00:01:55,683 --> 00:01:58,317
And thinking to myself,
this is all so fake.
45
00:01:58,319 --> 00:02:01,120
Why aren't we seeing
the real thing?
46
00:02:01,122 --> 00:02:04,656
That looks totally fake though.
It's fake for sure.
47
00:02:04,658 --> 00:02:06,425
Calm down, mike.
48
00:02:06,427 --> 00:02:10,195
The animations were only to show
the lunar orbit and descent.
49
00:02:10,197 --> 00:02:12,064
One they touched down
on the moon,
50
00:02:12,066 --> 00:02:15,234
Buzz aldrin flipped a switch to
turn on the television camera.
51
00:02:15,236 --> 00:02:16,568
Buzz, this is houston.
52
00:02:16,570 --> 00:02:19,838
Radio check, and verify
tv circuit breaker in.
53
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,974
Roger, tv circuit breaker's in.
54
00:02:21,976 --> 00:02:23,375
You got a good picture?
55
00:02:23,377 --> 00:02:26,111
So this is a prime example
on why I started to question.
56
00:02:26,113 --> 00:02:28,113
Whether we went
to the moon in 1969,
57
00:02:28,115 --> 00:02:31,383
And it's not just
the animation parts.
58
00:02:31,385 --> 00:02:35,621
Some of the footage from the
moon is also really problematic.
59
00:02:35,623 --> 00:02:37,990
I've analyzed the hell
out of this footage.
60
00:02:37,992 --> 00:02:39,925
I'm standing directly
in the shadow now.
61
00:02:39,927 --> 00:02:41,927
I probably screened it
over 100 times,
62
00:02:41,929 --> 00:02:44,196
And while the quality
of the material is poor,
63
00:02:44,198 --> 00:02:45,931
There are some clear
oddities in there,
64
00:02:45,933 --> 00:02:47,566
If you know where
to look for them.
65
00:02:47,568 --> 00:02:49,368
There you go.
66
00:02:49,370 --> 00:02:51,203
I know the quality
isn't that great,
67
00:02:51,205 --> 00:02:56,909
But in 2009 nasa found film copy
of "man's first steps on moon".
68
00:02:56,911 --> 00:02:59,711
And it allowed them
to restore the detail.
69
00:02:59,713 --> 00:03:04,349
That was lost in
the tv network broadcast.
70
00:03:04,351 --> 00:03:07,719
I'm looking forward to getting
my eyes on the restored footage.
71
00:03:07,721 --> 00:03:09,655
So we can prove
to these naysayers.
72
00:03:09,657 --> 00:03:12,958
Once and for all that
our brave astronauts.
73
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,161
Did indeed walk
on the surface of the moon.
74
00:03:16,163 --> 00:03:18,397
- Beautiful, beautiful.
- Isn't that something?
75
00:03:18,399 --> 00:03:19,865
If there's anything to be seen,
76
00:03:19,867 --> 00:03:22,568
Anything that gives away
that this is fake,
77
00:03:22,570 --> 00:03:26,071
We should be able to see it
in that restored video.
78
00:03:26,073 --> 00:03:28,707
I've arranged for a screening
for us in washington, d.C.
79
00:03:28,709 --> 00:03:30,809
Okay, let's go.
80
00:03:30,811 --> 00:03:32,251
If, of course,
it's honest, and nasa.
81
00:03:32,275 --> 00:03:35,414
Hasn't messed with all of it.
82
00:03:35,416 --> 00:03:37,749
Here we go again.
83
00:03:41,422 --> 00:03:43,822
It's pretty cool we get to
screen the restored footage.
84
00:03:43,824 --> 00:03:47,125
On a giant 40-by-22-foot
l.E.D. Screen,
85
00:03:47,127 --> 00:03:49,528
Dubbed "the electronic
window on the world."
86
00:03:49,530 --> 00:03:52,130
It's pretty amazing.
Look how big that screen is.
87
00:03:52,132 --> 00:03:54,533
With over 2 million
individual pixels.
88
00:03:54,535 --> 00:03:56,435
Delivering high-fidelity images,
89
00:03:56,437 --> 00:03:58,370
This seems like the best
possible place.
90
00:03:58,372 --> 00:04:01,573
To analyze this material.
91
00:04:01,575 --> 00:04:04,209
So this is nasa's
restored version.
92
00:04:04,211 --> 00:04:07,112
Of the original
broadcast transmission.
93
00:04:07,114 --> 00:04:09,414
They say it's the most
pristine version.
94
00:04:09,416 --> 00:04:12,517
That they have of the man's
first steps on the moon.
95
00:04:13,754 --> 00:04:15,020
I watched it on television.
96
00:04:15,022 --> 00:04:17,422
This is an order of magnitude
better than that.
97
00:04:17,424 --> 00:04:19,057
Now here comes buzz
down the ladder, and th...
98
00:04:19,059 --> 00:04:21,059
See, this is one of the parts
where there's people.
99
00:04:21,061 --> 00:04:23,262
That question whether this
footage was actually shot.
100
00:04:23,264 --> 00:04:25,664
In a studio or is actually
on the moon,
101
00:04:25,666 --> 00:04:27,933
Because you're supposed
to be in the shadow.
102
00:04:27,935 --> 00:04:29,501
It should be absolutely black.
103
00:04:29,503 --> 00:04:32,604
Yet, from the camera,
I see this filled-in light,
104
00:04:32,606 --> 00:04:34,873
Which really probably
shouldn't be there.
105
00:04:34,875 --> 00:04:37,276
And I don't know what
the explanation is for that.
106
00:04:37,278 --> 00:04:39,311
And a lot of people
have questions about it.
107
00:04:39,313 --> 00:04:41,280
Now what filled-in light
are you talking about?
108
00:04:41,282 --> 00:04:43,715
Well, aldrin right there,
he's illuminated.
109
00:04:43,717 --> 00:04:45,584
You can his suit, his plss.
110
00:04:45,586 --> 00:04:48,053
You can see his boots,
his helmet.
111
00:04:48,055 --> 00:04:49,955
And you know,
according to the arguments,
112
00:04:49,957 --> 00:04:51,723
In pitch-black shadow.
113
00:04:51,725 --> 00:04:53,959
You shouldn't have
any reflective light whatsoever.
114
00:04:53,961 --> 00:04:56,128
On the moon, there's only
one light source,
115
00:04:56,130 --> 00:04:59,097
And that's the sun, which, as
you can see in the footage,
116
00:04:59,099 --> 00:05:02,668
Was on the complete opposite
side of the lunar module.
117
00:05:02,670 --> 00:05:05,337
Every photographer will tell you
if you point a camera.
118
00:05:05,339 --> 00:05:08,940
At a subject in complete shadow
with a bright light behind him,
119
00:05:08,942 --> 00:05:11,376
Your lens will struggle
to pick up much detail.
120
00:05:11,378 --> 00:05:13,245
In fact, that's how
photographers are able.
121
00:05:13,247 --> 00:05:14,980
To achieve
the silhouette effect.
122
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,387
Yet, in this restored footage,
we can clearly see buzz.
123
00:05:22,389 --> 00:05:25,123
Coming down
the ladder illuminated.
124
00:05:25,125 --> 00:05:26,658
The argument is that
a fill light.
125
00:05:26,660 --> 00:05:28,794
Or perhaps even a reflector
of some kind.
126
00:05:28,796 --> 00:05:32,864
Was used to bounce light on the
subject in a staged environment.
127
00:05:32,866 --> 00:05:34,132
So you're saying...
Where's the light coming from?
128
00:05:34,134 --> 00:05:36,401
He should actually be
completely pitch black.
129
00:05:36,403 --> 00:05:38,637
I think it's a question
we have to answer.
130
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:41,473
I don't care what mike says...
Astronauts wouldn't lie.
131
00:05:41,475 --> 00:05:43,075
John young walked on the moon.
132
00:05:43,077 --> 00:05:44,357
He told me he walked
on the moon.
133
00:05:44,381 --> 00:05:46,845
He's an honorable person.
He doesn't lie.
134
00:05:46,847 --> 00:05:49,681
And I'm gonna follow along with
this scientific investigation
135
00:05:49,683 --> 00:05:52,617
'cause we want to prove
that this happened, but...
136
00:05:52,619 --> 00:05:54,953
Sometimes, I just feel
this is not cool.
137
00:05:54,955 --> 00:05:56,955
And I hear you, leland,
but the truth is, you know,
138
00:05:56,957 --> 00:05:58,490
You can't shy away
from questions.
139
00:05:58,492 --> 00:06:00,625
People don't remember
john young, you know,
140
00:06:00,627 --> 00:06:02,461
Saluting the flag.
I understand that.
141
00:06:02,463 --> 00:06:04,529
Okay, here we go. A big one.
142
00:06:04,531 --> 00:06:06,031
Off the ground. One more.
143
00:06:06,033 --> 00:06:07,899
But think about it
from the other side.
144
00:06:07,901 --> 00:06:11,603
And the people that gave this
sacrifice and lost their lives.
145
00:06:11,605 --> 00:06:14,473
We owe it to them to try
to answer these questions.
146
00:06:14,475 --> 00:06:16,007
Definitely.
147
00:06:16,009 --> 00:06:18,810
I can't believe I'm saying this,
but I agree with mike here.
148
00:06:18,812 --> 00:06:21,480
Let's allow the science
to speak for itself.
149
00:06:21,482 --> 00:06:22,914
That's what we're here to do.
150
00:06:22,916 --> 00:06:26,451
Could this have been produced
in hollywood.
151
00:06:26,453 --> 00:06:29,454
In 1969 with the special effects.
152
00:06:29,456 --> 00:06:32,257
That a director had
at his hands at that time?
153
00:06:32,259 --> 00:06:35,260
And can we go ahead
and try to investigate to see.
154
00:06:35,262 --> 00:06:39,264
If this footage was produced
on some hollywood set?
155
00:06:39,266 --> 00:06:40,665
Well, let's try to recreate it.
156
00:06:40,667 --> 00:06:42,167
That'd be a great test.
157
00:06:42,169 --> 00:06:44,269
- Beautiful view.
- Ain't that something?
158
00:06:44,271 --> 00:06:45,937
Magnificent sight out here.
159
00:06:52,446 --> 00:06:54,413
There's only one
surefire way to know.
160
00:06:54,415 --> 00:06:56,081
If the moon landing
could be faked...
161
00:06:56,083 --> 00:06:58,817
See if we can do it ourselves.
162
00:06:58,819 --> 00:07:00,952
So I'm headed west to hollywood,
163
00:07:00,954 --> 00:07:03,321
Where we'll be recreating
the apollo 11.
164
00:07:03,323 --> 00:07:05,023
Moon landing in a studio,
165
00:07:05,025 --> 00:07:07,492
With the help of
a small army of builders,
166
00:07:07,494 --> 00:07:10,862
Lighting technicians,
and engineers.
167
00:07:10,864 --> 00:07:12,898
We are way out of our
comfort zone here,
168
00:07:12,900 --> 00:07:15,567
So we'll need the help
of some cinema masters,
169
00:07:15,569 --> 00:07:17,836
Some of whom conspiracy
theorists claim.
170
00:07:17,838 --> 00:07:20,071
Had intimate ties to nasa.
171
00:07:20,073 --> 00:07:22,407
And while the crew is off
building out the set,
172
00:07:22,409 --> 00:07:23,675
I'll be lining up interviews.
173
00:07:23,677 --> 00:07:25,644
With industry movers
and shakers,
174
00:07:25,646 --> 00:07:28,480
To find out exactly what it
takes to fake a moon landing.
175
00:07:34,081 --> 00:07:35,441
While chad is off
pulling together.
176
00:07:35,465 --> 00:07:37,522
This big recreation shoot
in l.A.,
177
00:07:37,524 --> 00:07:38,756
Leland invited me to meet up.
178
00:07:38,758 --> 00:07:40,559
With one of his former
nasa colleagues.
179
00:07:40,561 --> 00:07:42,861
So we can take an independent
look at some footage.
180
00:07:42,863 --> 00:07:46,164
For signs it was filmed on earth
instead of the moon.
181
00:07:46,166 --> 00:07:47,766
Hey, mike, it's so good
to have you here.
182
00:07:47,790 --> 00:07:49,334
Massimino. Mike massimino.
183
00:07:49,336 --> 00:07:51,169
Leland, it's my pleasure
to be here.
184
00:07:51,171 --> 00:07:52,304
It's always good to see you.
185
00:07:52,306 --> 00:07:54,439
Mike massimino is a great guy.
186
00:07:54,441 --> 00:07:56,475
And a very accomplished
astronaut.
187
00:07:56,477 --> 00:07:59,945
Mike has logged more than
570 hours in space,
188
00:07:59,947 --> 00:08:01,913
Including four spacewalks.
189
00:08:01,915 --> 00:08:03,348
And he's one of the few people.
190
00:08:03,350 --> 00:08:06,918
To have traveled to and repaired
the hubble space telescope.
191
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,854
And this is my buddy,
colleague, mike.
192
00:08:08,856 --> 00:08:10,422
Hi. Nice to meet you.
193
00:08:10,424 --> 00:08:12,090
Nice to meet you.
I think, anyway.
194
00:08:12,092 --> 00:08:13,625
Well, we'll see.
195
00:08:13,627 --> 00:08:16,061
Even though mike's a nasa guy
and will probably toe the line,
196
00:08:16,063 --> 00:08:18,063
I'm open to hearing
what he has to say,
197
00:08:18,065 --> 00:08:20,866
Since the guy also has a phd
in mechanical engineering.
198
00:08:20,868 --> 00:08:22,300
From m.I.T.
199
00:08:22,302 --> 00:08:23,902
But I wonder if he'll be
able to explain.
200
00:08:23,904 --> 00:08:25,871
Some of the other things
going on in the footage,
201
00:08:25,873 --> 00:08:28,740
Because there's more than just
this strange lighting stuff.
202
00:08:28,742 --> 00:08:30,902
It's great to get some
astronauts in the room together,
203
00:08:30,926 --> 00:08:34,312
But it's really great
to have you here to help us.
204
00:08:34,314 --> 00:08:36,354
One of the things that, mike,
we would like for you.
205
00:08:36,378 --> 00:08:38,283
To help us with
is this conspiracy theory.
206
00:08:38,285 --> 00:08:40,585
About planting the flag
on the moon.
207
00:08:40,587 --> 00:08:43,755
And then it waving somehow.
Yeah.
208
00:08:43,757 --> 00:08:46,925
'Cause there's no wind
on the moon and no atmosphere.
209
00:08:46,927 --> 00:08:47,926
Basically, what's going on is,
210
00:08:47,928 --> 00:08:49,248
People are looking
at the footage.
211
00:08:49,272 --> 00:08:51,663
And they're seeing
the flag moving around.
212
00:08:51,665 --> 00:08:53,632
Some of the apollo 11
and apollo 15,
213
00:08:53,634 --> 00:08:55,354
You look at the flag,
it's kind of crinkled,
214
00:08:55,378 --> 00:08:58,270
And it does look like maybe
it's kind of waving in the wind,
215
00:08:58,272 --> 00:09:00,972
So we're trying to figure out
what's really going on here.
216
00:09:00,974 --> 00:09:03,608
Let's see if we can explain it.
217
00:09:03,610 --> 00:09:05,176
Here we go.
218
00:09:05,178 --> 00:09:06,578
Good luck getting up
that ladder.
219
00:09:08,916 --> 00:09:12,450
Could we have faked the moon
landing in a studio?
220
00:09:12,452 --> 00:09:13,985
Sure. We did it.
221
00:09:13,987 --> 00:09:16,121
We recreated the lunar landing.
222
00:09:35,876 --> 00:09:37,976
So what we need is, we need
experts like you to come.
223
00:09:37,978 --> 00:09:39,698
And give us a straight
answer on this stuff.
224
00:09:39,722 --> 00:09:41,446
I'm here with leland
and mike massimino,
225
00:09:41,448 --> 00:09:43,214
Hoping these two
former astronauts.
226
00:09:43,216 --> 00:09:44,950
Can help answer this question...
227
00:09:44,952 --> 00:09:47,886
If the moon has no air,
no atmosphere, and no wind,
228
00:09:47,888 --> 00:09:49,921
Then why does it look
like the american flag.
229
00:09:49,923 --> 00:09:53,158
Is waving in the nasa footage?
230
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,228
So the waving comes from their
handling of the flag itself.
231
00:09:57,230 --> 00:09:58,730
As you see,
they're moving it around.
232
00:09:58,732 --> 00:10:00,632
They're shaking the flag.
233
00:10:00,634 --> 00:10:03,335
There's no air on the moon,
there's no atmosphere,
234
00:10:03,337 --> 00:10:06,338
So even things
that we have here on earth,
235
00:10:06,340 --> 00:10:08,139
The air we have here on earth.
236
00:10:08,141 --> 00:10:10,542
Will slow us down
a little bit, right?
237
00:10:10,544 --> 00:10:12,143
In air, when we're flying
an airplane,
238
00:10:12,145 --> 00:10:13,878
Or we're even running
through the air,
239
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,814
We have to fight against
the air that's there.
240
00:10:15,816 --> 00:10:17,382
I know what mike's
talking about here.
241
00:10:17,384 --> 00:10:19,117
It's a physics term called
"drag,".
242
00:10:19,119 --> 00:10:20,819
Also known as air resistance.
243
00:10:20,821 --> 00:10:23,622
I mean, this goes all the way
back to galileo.
244
00:10:23,624 --> 00:10:25,357
Basically, galileo
concluded that.
245
00:10:25,359 --> 00:10:26,891
In the absence
of air resistance,
246
00:10:26,893 --> 00:10:30,228
Gravity causes all objects
to fall at the same rate.
247
00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:32,197
I mean, nasa even tested
this theory.
248
00:10:32,199 --> 00:10:34,733
In 1971 allegedly on the moon,
249
00:10:34,735 --> 00:10:36,635
When they had astronaut
david scott conduct.
250
00:10:36,637 --> 00:10:39,838
His now-famous
hammer-versus-feather drop.
251
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,041
Here with my left hand,
I have a... a feather.
252
00:10:43,043 --> 00:10:45,076
In my right hand, a hammer.
253
00:10:45,078 --> 00:10:46,878
And I'll drop the two
of them here,
254
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,683
And hopefully they'll hit
the ground at the same time.
255
00:10:51,685 --> 00:10:53,785
How about that?
This is science, right?
256
00:10:53,787 --> 00:10:55,220
This is science.
257
00:10:55,222 --> 00:10:56,955
On the moon,
or when we get in space,
258
00:10:56,957 --> 00:11:00,725
Like when you and I got
a chance to work...
259
00:11:00,727 --> 00:11:04,496
When you're outside, you don't
encounter any of that atmosphere.
260
00:11:04,498 --> 00:11:06,765
And there's no drag
or no viscosity.
261
00:11:06,767 --> 00:11:08,199
And it allows for free movement,
262
00:11:08,201 --> 00:11:11,469
And things will oscillate,
move around, shake, vibrate more.
263
00:11:11,471 --> 00:11:13,938
Because the air is not there
to slow them down.
264
00:11:13,940 --> 00:11:16,875
But what about the movement when
they're not touching the flag?
265
00:11:16,877 --> 00:11:18,517
As they're messing around
with this thing,
266
00:11:18,519 --> 00:11:20,800
They're shaking it and they're
putting an input into it...
267
00:11:20,824 --> 00:11:22,380
And it's vibrating it.
268
00:11:22,382 --> 00:11:23,948
So that's what
they're doing here.
269
00:11:23,950 --> 00:11:27,552
And if you did that on earth,
it would not vibrate as much.
270
00:11:27,554 --> 00:11:30,221
Because the air actually,
it'll slow it down a little bit.
271
00:11:30,223 --> 00:11:32,123
But there's no air to slow it
down on the moon,
272
00:11:32,125 --> 00:11:34,959
So it'll vibrate more rapidly
and for a longer time.
273
00:11:34,961 --> 00:11:38,063
Than it would on earth.
274
00:11:38,065 --> 00:11:40,031
And now, what about
the crinkling in the flag?
275
00:11:40,033 --> 00:11:42,667
I mean, it does look crinkled
in some of the missions.
276
00:11:42,669 --> 00:11:44,369
It looks like it's kinda
blowing in the wind.
277
00:11:44,371 --> 00:11:45,811
And people look at that
and they say,
278
00:11:45,813 --> 00:11:47,453
"well, it must be
shot on earth somewhere.
279
00:11:47,477 --> 00:11:49,274
Where there's wind
and atmosphere."
280
00:11:49,276 --> 00:11:51,042
I can see why they would say
that as well.
281
00:11:51,044 --> 00:11:54,179
And I think that's just 'cause
of the way the flag was packed.
282
00:11:54,181 --> 00:11:56,281
As, you know, leland and I know,
283
00:11:56,283 --> 00:11:57,643
They pack everything
really well...
284
00:11:57,667 --> 00:11:58,950
Your clothing...
285
00:11:58,952 --> 00:12:02,954
Everything get's folded up into
the smallest possible space.
286
00:12:02,956 --> 00:12:04,222
And so, I'm sure
that's what they did...
287
00:12:04,224 --> 00:12:05,864
You can never get it back
into that space.
288
00:12:05,866 --> 00:12:07,786
Yeah. Once you open something,
you're wearing it.
289
00:12:07,810 --> 00:12:08,760
Exactly.
290
00:12:08,762 --> 00:12:10,442
You're not gonna get it back
in the drawer.
291
00:12:10,466 --> 00:12:13,164
The flag needed to be easily
accessible to the astronauts,
292
00:12:13,166 --> 00:12:16,267
So nasa mounted it to the
exterior of the lunar module,
293
00:12:16,269 --> 00:12:18,002
Just to the left of the ladder.
294
00:12:18,004 --> 00:12:20,238
Now, that area would have
experienced temperatures.
295
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,841
Of up to 2,000 degrees
fahrenheit,
296
00:12:22,843 --> 00:12:24,876
So nasa packaged it tightly.
297
00:12:24,878 --> 00:12:28,480
Into a protective
heat-resistant shroud.
298
00:12:28,482 --> 00:12:30,215
But what happened
on apollo 11...
299
00:12:30,217 --> 00:12:32,498
You saw the way they had trouble
getting it in the ground.
300
00:12:32,522 --> 00:12:34,986
And also, that pole that holds
up the flag at the top.
301
00:12:34,988 --> 00:12:36,421
It kinda expands out.
302
00:12:36,423 --> 00:12:40,191
Yeah, it was an expanding pole,
kinda like a telescope,
303
00:12:40,193 --> 00:12:42,594
And I don't think
they got it out all the way,
304
00:12:42,596 --> 00:12:44,756
And so that's why there was
that kind of kink in there.
305
00:12:44,780 --> 00:12:48,933
That makes it look like there's
a bulge in the american flag.
306
00:12:48,935 --> 00:12:50,935
So that horizontal pole
got jammed.
307
00:12:50,937 --> 00:12:53,171
Basically as they were
trying to extend it.
308
00:12:53,173 --> 00:12:55,073
Yeah. Very squashed.
309
00:12:55,075 --> 00:12:57,609
I think I concur that there's
no evidence presented here.
310
00:12:57,611 --> 00:12:59,878
By the flag stuff that indicates
that it was shot.
311
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,513
Anywhere but the lunar surface.
312
00:13:01,515 --> 00:13:03,281
I mean, it all seems
to support that.
313
00:13:03,283 --> 00:13:04,516
Good job. Yeah, man.
314
00:13:04,518 --> 00:13:06,050
Good job, man. Good questions.
315
00:13:06,052 --> 00:13:07,118
Thanks, mike.
316
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:15,960
It's time to catch up with chad.
317
00:13:15,962 --> 00:13:19,564
For the next phase
of this investigation.
318
00:13:19,566 --> 00:13:21,399
So we're here to investigate.
319
00:13:21,401 --> 00:13:24,235
One of the last
conspiracy theorist arguments.
320
00:13:24,237 --> 00:13:25,937
That we never made it
to the moon,
321
00:13:25,939 --> 00:13:28,006
And it was a hollywood
production.
322
00:13:28,008 --> 00:13:31,476
Shot on some soundstage,
broadcast throughout the world.
323
00:13:31,478 --> 00:13:33,745
That's one of the most
outlandish things.
324
00:13:33,747 --> 00:13:35,814
That I can think of,
because think about.
325
00:13:35,816 --> 00:13:39,150
Just the number of people
you would need to pull that off.
326
00:13:39,152 --> 00:13:41,886
And just think about keeping it
secret for 50 years.
327
00:13:41,888 --> 00:13:43,121
That's crazy.
328
00:13:43,123 --> 00:13:45,857
Well, I found a director
who actually did a movie.
329
00:13:45,859 --> 00:13:49,961
About a government conspiracy
to fake a space mission,
330
00:13:49,963 --> 00:13:52,564
And I think we need to see
how complicated it would be.
331
00:13:52,566 --> 00:13:54,499
To actually
pull that off for real.
332
00:13:54,501 --> 00:13:58,036
His name's peter hyams,
and we're gonna go talk to him.
333
00:13:58,038 --> 00:13:59,604
Let's go meet him.
334
00:13:59,606 --> 00:14:01,539
First stop... peter hyams,
335
00:14:01,541 --> 00:14:05,610
Who directed the 1978 sci-fi
thriller "capricorn one."
336
00:14:05,612 --> 00:14:07,745
Even though his movie
is about mars,
337
00:14:07,747 --> 00:14:11,115
Many point to this film as a
message about the moon landing.
338
00:14:11,117 --> 00:14:14,252
We want to know where the idea
for such a film came from.
339
00:14:14,254 --> 00:14:16,654
Hey, peter. Chad jenkins.
340
00:14:16,656 --> 00:14:18,423
Nice to meet you.
Pleasure to meet you.
341
00:14:18,425 --> 00:14:19,557
Hi. Leland melvin.
342
00:14:19,559 --> 00:14:21,039
Nice to meet you.
Leland, how are you?
343
00:14:21,041 --> 00:14:22,473
Thanks a lot for meeting
with us.
344
00:14:22,475 --> 00:14:23,561
It's my pleasure.
345
00:14:23,563 --> 00:14:25,530
So we are on the hunt
for the truth.
346
00:14:25,532 --> 00:14:28,333
Regarding some of
the conspiracy theories.
347
00:14:28,335 --> 00:14:30,134
That say we never
landed on the moon.
348
00:14:30,136 --> 00:14:32,170
Wow.
Probably the biggest conspiracy.
349
00:14:32,172 --> 00:14:34,405
Is that the original
landing on the moon.
350
00:14:34,407 --> 00:14:37,442
Of the apollo 11 mission
didn't take place.
351
00:14:37,444 --> 00:14:42,680
And you know,
when you made "capricorn one,".
352
00:14:42,682 --> 00:14:45,083
That was a groundbreaking film.
353
00:14:45,085 --> 00:14:48,486
That had a government conspiracy
about the space mission.
354
00:14:48,488 --> 00:14:50,321
"Capricorn one"
is about an attempt.
355
00:14:50,323 --> 00:14:52,724
By the united states government
to fake a space shot,
356
00:14:52,726 --> 00:14:57,095
And how things go wrong and how
they ultimately get caught.
357
00:14:57,097 --> 00:14:58,563
How did you come up
with that idea?
358
00:14:58,565 --> 00:15:00,732
I just remembered during
the apollo missions...
359
00:15:03,069 --> 00:15:06,804
There they did this
simulation of what was going on.
360
00:15:08,942 --> 00:15:12,710
Watching this and going,
"holy mackerel,
361
00:15:12,712 --> 00:15:14,379
"this is a one-camera story.
362
00:15:14,381 --> 00:15:16,681
Wait a second.
How does anybody know?"
363
00:15:16,683 --> 00:15:19,017
It always stuck with me.
364
00:15:19,019 --> 00:15:21,853
The concept that because
something is on television.
365
00:15:21,855 --> 00:15:24,923
Doesn't mean it's true.
366
00:15:24,925 --> 00:15:27,959
How did nasa feel about
the plot of "capricorn one"?
367
00:15:27,961 --> 00:15:29,627
Nasa came and visited.
368
00:15:29,629 --> 00:15:33,464
Because we had photographs from
the probe that went to mars.
369
00:15:33,466 --> 00:15:36,000
We knew exactly
what it looked like.
370
00:15:36,002 --> 00:15:37,435
We had very, very detailed,
371
00:15:37,437 --> 00:15:39,938
Very high-resolution
photographs from nasa.
372
00:15:39,940 --> 00:15:43,474
So we did it... we recreated
the martian surface,
373
00:15:43,476 --> 00:15:48,579
And then we built this lunar
lander exactly the way it is.
374
00:15:48,581 --> 00:15:50,315
And put it on the surface.
375
00:15:50,317 --> 00:15:52,717
We had the most accurate
lunar ascent.
376
00:15:52,719 --> 00:15:55,253
And descent module that existed.
377
00:15:55,255 --> 00:15:57,422
It's suspicious that nasa
was sharing their plans.
378
00:15:57,424 --> 00:15:59,257
With a hollywood director.
379
00:15:59,259 --> 00:16:02,093
It begs the question, just how
intimate of a relationship.
380
00:16:02,095 --> 00:16:04,595
Did nasa have with
the film industry?
381
00:16:04,597 --> 00:16:06,597
It was a correct
to the quarter of an inch.
382
00:16:06,599 --> 00:16:08,399
And they gave us the plans.
383
00:16:08,401 --> 00:16:11,769
Of course nasa gave peter all
their information for his film.
384
00:16:11,771 --> 00:16:13,972
They've always been
completely transparent.
385
00:16:13,974 --> 00:16:16,674
Why? Because they have
nothing to hide.
386
00:16:16,676 --> 00:16:21,012
Could we have faked the moon
landing in a studio back then?
387
00:16:21,014 --> 00:16:22,981
Sure. You could go on a stage.
388
00:16:22,983 --> 00:16:24,816
And make that look
like the moon.
389
00:16:26,152 --> 00:16:30,121
Stanley kubrick did some pretty
remarkable things in 1968.
390
00:16:30,123 --> 00:16:31,456
Stanley kubrick?
391
00:16:31,458 --> 00:16:34,225
That's interesting peter should
mention his name.
392
00:16:34,227 --> 00:16:37,762
Because most apollo 11 skeptics
believe it's kubrick.
393
00:16:37,764 --> 00:16:41,099
Who nasa paid to help them
stage the moon landing.
394
00:16:41,101 --> 00:16:43,534
The theory goes that nasa
was so impressed.
395
00:16:43,536 --> 00:16:45,870
By kubrick's accuracy
in his film.
396
00:16:45,872 --> 00:16:49,574
A space odyssey"
that they asked him to come up.
397
00:16:49,576 --> 00:16:53,211
With the ultimate
piece of movie magic.
398
00:16:53,213 --> 00:16:56,414
Probably one of the biggest
claims out there is that.
399
00:16:56,416 --> 00:17:00,585
Kubrick was behind faking the
broadcast of the moon landing.
400
00:17:00,587 --> 00:17:02,787
And you know, you worked
directly with him.
401
00:17:02,789 --> 00:17:04,789
Yes, I did.
402
00:17:04,791 --> 00:17:08,659
What do you think about those
who say he had involvement.
403
00:17:08,661 --> 00:17:12,029
In faking the apollo 11 landing?
404
00:17:30,750 --> 00:17:34,385
Leland and I are meeting up
with filmmaker peter hyams.
405
00:17:34,387 --> 00:17:36,254
To learn if it was possible
for nasa.
406
00:17:36,256 --> 00:17:38,589
To stage the apollo 11
moon landing.
407
00:17:38,591 --> 00:17:40,191
With the help
of one of hollywood's.
408
00:17:40,193 --> 00:17:42,026
Most imaginative directors.
409
00:17:42,028 --> 00:17:45,229
Probably one of the biggest
claims out there is that.
410
00:17:45,231 --> 00:17:49,901
Kubrick was behind faking the
broadcast of the moon landing.
411
00:17:49,903 --> 00:17:53,838
What do you think about those
who say he had involvement.
412
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,873
In faking the apollo 11 landing?
413
00:17:55,875 --> 00:17:58,109
Well, I mean, certainly you
could fake that image,
414
00:17:58,111 --> 00:18:00,311
Except you couldn't
fake the other images.
415
00:18:00,313 --> 00:18:02,480
You couldn't fake the still
images that they had,
416
00:18:02,482 --> 00:18:04,849
Really complex things,
of the earth.
417
00:18:04,851 --> 00:18:07,051
But they could have
landed the desert, right?
418
00:18:07,053 --> 00:18:08,586
You know, with all of
the telemetry.
419
00:18:08,588 --> 00:18:12,790
That was trained on the
spacecraft from other countries,
420
00:18:12,792 --> 00:18:17,228
Especially the soviet union,
as we tracked theirs...
421
00:18:17,230 --> 00:18:19,997
They'd be delighted in exposing
the fact that we couldn't do it,
422
00:18:19,999 --> 00:18:22,400
So I...
423
00:18:22,402 --> 00:18:23,801
I am not somebody who believes.
424
00:18:23,803 --> 00:18:25,937
That the government conspired
to fake a space shot.
425
00:18:25,939 --> 00:18:27,038
Okay.
426
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,372
I think it's absolute nonsense.
427
00:18:28,374 --> 00:18:29,774
I worked with nasa.
428
00:18:29,776 --> 00:18:31,456
It's actually stupid
to think that america.
429
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,377
Would want
stanley kubrick to do it.
430
00:18:33,379 --> 00:18:36,647
It's to not know
who stanley kubrick was.
431
00:18:36,649 --> 00:18:40,118
It's to not know
who john kennedy was.
432
00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:43,421
It's not to know
what america was.
433
00:18:43,423 --> 00:18:46,624
And what the people of nasa
were because of john kennedy.
434
00:18:46,626 --> 00:18:48,626
It was john kennedy
who said we're gonna do it.
435
00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:50,508
He said we're not gonna
do it because it's easy,
436
00:18:50,532 --> 00:18:52,897
We're gonna do it
because it's hard.
437
00:18:52,899 --> 00:18:54,465
Peter seems like a smart guy,
438
00:18:54,467 --> 00:18:56,767
And I'm happy he feels
exactly as I do...
439
00:18:56,769 --> 00:18:59,737
That this whole alleged scheme
of hollywood trickery.
440
00:18:59,739 --> 00:19:01,139
Is just ludicrous.
441
00:19:01,141 --> 00:19:03,274
We really appreciate
you letting us come here.
442
00:19:03,276 --> 00:19:06,110
And spend a little time with you
and getting to know you.
443
00:19:06,112 --> 00:19:07,411
It was my pleasure. Thank you.
444
00:19:07,413 --> 00:19:09,293
It was a pleasure to meet you.
Thank you, peter.
445
00:19:09,317 --> 00:19:10,317
Thank you.
446
00:19:16,222 --> 00:19:18,723
Before leland and I
head to our next interview,
447
00:19:18,725 --> 00:19:20,491
We wanted to check in
on the progress.
448
00:19:20,493 --> 00:19:22,894
Of our big recreation shoot.
449
00:19:22,896 --> 00:19:24,228
Hey, chad.
Let's go check it out.
450
00:19:24,230 --> 00:19:25,496
All right.
451
00:19:27,867 --> 00:19:29,787
- Hey, art. How's it going?
- How you guys doing?
452
00:19:29,811 --> 00:19:31,502
- Hey, man. Good to see you.
- You too.
453
00:19:31,504 --> 00:19:34,238
Art wilinski and his team
are putting the final touches.
454
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,974
On an incredible prop
for our experiment,
455
00:19:36,976 --> 00:19:38,809
Which will take up
a large portion.
456
00:19:38,811 --> 00:19:41,045
Of the 38-by-28-foot studio.
457
00:19:41,047 --> 00:19:43,414
It's pretty impressive,
'cause this thing can actually.
458
00:19:43,416 --> 00:19:45,016
Land and launch
and everything, right?
459
00:19:45,018 --> 00:19:46,350
Yeah, it does everything, man.
460
00:19:46,352 --> 00:19:47,785
It's just really impressive.
Full nine yards.
461
00:19:47,787 --> 00:19:50,021
Now are we allowed to walk
all the way up on that plank?
462
00:19:50,023 --> 00:19:51,623
- Or just the ladder?
- You are. You are.
463
00:19:51,647 --> 00:19:53,724
- Let's go.
- Nice.
464
00:19:53,726 --> 00:19:56,794
Now you've got
the buzz cut though.
465
00:19:58,932 --> 00:20:01,265
- But, art, you did a good job.
- Thank you very much.
466
00:20:01,267 --> 00:20:03,668
While the team is
finishing up at the studio,
467
00:20:03,670 --> 00:20:05,836
Our fact-finding mission
continues.
468
00:20:05,838 --> 00:20:07,538
Next up, we're gonna
talk to someone.
469
00:20:07,540 --> 00:20:10,041
Who was part of
stanley kubrick's inner circle.
470
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,480
Leon vitali was kubrick's
right-hand man.
471
00:20:16,482 --> 00:20:18,449
For more than 20 years.
472
00:20:21,421 --> 00:20:24,055
Vitali starred in kubrick's film
"barry lyndon,".
473
00:20:24,057 --> 00:20:26,424
Served as his
personal assistant,
474
00:20:26,426 --> 00:20:28,192
And after kubrick's passing,
475
00:20:28,194 --> 00:20:31,395
Helped supervise the restoration
of his iconic films.
476
00:20:31,397 --> 00:20:33,698
- Thank you so much.
- Thanks for meeting with us.
477
00:20:33,700 --> 00:20:36,067
You're so welcome,
you're so welcome, yeah.
478
00:20:36,069 --> 00:20:37,902
If anybody could help us
determine.
479
00:20:37,904 --> 00:20:39,570
If there's a connection
between nasa.
480
00:20:39,572 --> 00:20:41,572
And kubrick, it's leon vitali.
481
00:20:41,574 --> 00:20:45,309
So we're on the hunt for the
answers of what really happened.
482
00:20:45,311 --> 00:20:47,979
With the moon landing
back in July of 1969.
483
00:20:47,981 --> 00:20:49,180
Right.
484
00:20:49,182 --> 00:20:51,415
Do you remember
watching the moon landing?
485
00:20:51,417 --> 00:20:53,050
- I do, I do.
- How'd that make you feel?
486
00:20:53,052 --> 00:20:56,621
My god. I love space
and the idea of space.
487
00:20:56,623 --> 00:20:59,423
If I could have signed up there
and then to say I want to be,
488
00:20:59,425 --> 00:21:03,561
You know, an astronaut,
and there was that possibility,
489
00:21:03,563 --> 00:21:05,463
I would have done it
in a heartbeat.
490
00:21:05,465 --> 00:21:07,265
Everyone was so awestruck.
491
00:21:07,267 --> 00:21:10,968
Absolutely so awestruck.
492
00:21:10,970 --> 00:21:15,006
One of the conspiracy claims
that has the most attention.
493
00:21:15,008 --> 00:21:18,609
Is that stanley kubrick
helped fake the broadcast.
494
00:21:18,611 --> 00:21:20,544
- Right.
- What kind of filmmaker was he,
495
00:21:20,546 --> 00:21:22,346
And what was he like
to work with?
496
00:21:22,348 --> 00:21:25,483
Well, he was very demanding,
and he was...
497
00:21:25,485 --> 00:21:29,520
Meticulous detail
was very, very important.
498
00:21:29,522 --> 00:21:31,555
Leon, you talked about
how meticulous stanley was.
499
00:21:31,557 --> 00:21:34,058
Could you give me
an example of what...
500
00:21:34,060 --> 00:21:36,427
You know, how meticulous he was
in maybe one of his movies?
501
00:21:36,429 --> 00:21:39,864
Yeah, I mean, in "barry lyndon,".
502
00:21:39,866 --> 00:21:41,932
He used a lens, actually...
503
00:21:41,934 --> 00:21:46,370
The only other one
being the one that nasa used.
504
00:21:46,372 --> 00:21:48,472
You know, the 0.7 lens.
505
00:21:48,474 --> 00:21:51,842
And they used it,
sent it up to the moon.
506
00:21:51,844 --> 00:21:56,447
Yeah, and, um, so he could
shoot in candlelight,
507
00:21:56,449 --> 00:21:58,616
Just pure candlelight.
508
00:21:58,618 --> 00:22:00,885
But wait, he got a lens
from nasa?
509
00:22:00,887 --> 00:22:02,219
Yeah, yeah.
510
00:22:02,221 --> 00:22:04,855
Nasa provided a hollywood
director with a lens.
511
00:22:04,857 --> 00:22:06,724
Is an incredible revelation.
512
00:22:06,726 --> 00:22:09,927
I've looked into it, and this
was an extremely rare lens.
513
00:22:09,929 --> 00:22:12,029
Made by carl zeiss.
514
00:22:12,031 --> 00:22:14,198
Only ten of these
were ever produced.
515
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,599
Nasa had six.
516
00:22:15,601 --> 00:22:19,036
They gave three to kubrick,
and zeiss kept the last one.
517
00:22:19,038 --> 00:22:21,906
So kubrick was given
unprecedented access.
518
00:22:21,908 --> 00:22:23,974
The question many ask is why?
519
00:22:23,976 --> 00:22:25,309
And do you know what time frame.
520
00:22:25,311 --> 00:22:26,711
He would have gotten that
from nasa?
521
00:22:26,713 --> 00:22:28,480
He would have... I think
he got that around.
522
00:22:28,482 --> 00:22:32,350
About '66, '67.
523
00:22:34,754 --> 00:22:39,023
Did he ever talk about nasa
assisting him at all on "2001"?
524
00:22:39,025 --> 00:22:43,327
He had some people who worked
at nasa work on the film.
525
00:22:43,329 --> 00:22:44,829
And what exactly did they do?
526
00:22:44,831 --> 00:22:47,131
They would design...
People, ideas, you know.
527
00:22:47,133 --> 00:22:49,100
It was the accuracy.
528
00:22:49,102 --> 00:22:51,402
That was the most
important thing.
529
00:22:51,404 --> 00:22:53,270
Of course nasa wanted
kubrick to help them.
530
00:22:53,272 --> 00:22:55,392
When they saw what he was doing
during the production.
531
00:22:55,416 --> 00:22:56,741
A space odyssey...
532
00:22:56,743 --> 00:22:58,809
They realized his work
was head and shoulders.
533
00:22:58,811 --> 00:23:01,412
Above the sci-fi films
of his era.
534
00:23:01,414 --> 00:23:05,483
Clearly, they had
found their guy.
535
00:23:05,485 --> 00:23:09,120
Some people say that it took
place on a soundstage,
536
00:23:09,122 --> 00:23:10,554
And it was faked.
537
00:23:12,959 --> 00:23:15,059
Because I was the key moon guy.
Right.
538
00:23:15,061 --> 00:23:16,360
I knew where the stages were.
539
00:23:40,052 --> 00:23:41,452
Hey. What's up, mike?
540
00:23:41,454 --> 00:23:43,120
Hey. How was hollywood?
541
00:23:43,122 --> 00:23:45,723
I got to say, our trip
to hollywood was eye-opening.
542
00:23:45,725 --> 00:23:47,558
I'm almost afraid of mike's
reaction.
543
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,326
Once we tell him
about our findings.
544
00:23:49,328 --> 00:23:50,461
Get this.
545
00:23:50,463 --> 00:23:52,663
We were at an interview...
Leon vitali,
546
00:23:52,665 --> 00:23:56,133
Stanley kubrick's personal
assistant for decades.
547
00:23:56,135 --> 00:23:59,203
Yeah, vitali told us how he
was such a perfectionist,
548
00:23:59,205 --> 00:24:02,506
And he created some of the most
incredible space effects.
549
00:24:02,508 --> 00:24:04,842
Of any movie of his time.
550
00:24:04,844 --> 00:24:08,112
- The classic...
- "A space odyssey."
551
00:24:08,114 --> 00:24:09,547
So wait a minute, am I hearing.
552
00:24:09,549 --> 00:24:11,909
That you might be coming around
on this whole kubrick thing?
553
00:24:11,933 --> 00:24:12,850
Here we go. Here we go.
554
00:24:12,852 --> 00:24:14,051
That he might have
had the goods...
555
00:24:14,053 --> 00:24:15,486
Here we go.
To actually be involved.
556
00:24:15,488 --> 00:24:17,208
With hoaxing the moon landing?
Help me here.
557
00:24:17,210 --> 00:24:18,530
Help me.
Is that what I'm hearing?
558
00:24:18,554 --> 00:24:21,392
Not yet, but vitali did drop
an important clue.
559
00:24:21,394 --> 00:24:24,395
He mentioned that nasa,
back in the 1960s,
560
00:24:24,397 --> 00:24:27,832
Provided kubrick with
a super-fast lens.
561
00:24:27,834 --> 00:24:30,367
Capable of filming
in candlelight.
562
00:24:30,369 --> 00:24:34,538
This so-called "nasa lens"
was a carl zeiss planar
563
00:24:34,540 --> 00:24:39,143
50 millimeter lens
with an f number of 0.7.
564
00:24:39,145 --> 00:24:40,478
The smaller the f number,
565
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,980
The larger the aperture
or opening,
566
00:24:42,982 --> 00:24:45,349
Which means the more light
can enter the lens,
567
00:24:45,351 --> 00:24:46,917
Hence the term "fast."
568
00:24:46,919 --> 00:24:49,186
Nasa used this lens
to gather images.
569
00:24:49,188 --> 00:24:50,721
From the dark side of the moon.
570
00:24:50,723 --> 00:24:54,525
Now we have a direct connection
between nasa and kubrick.
571
00:24:54,527 --> 00:24:57,695
Yeah, but that's still a long
way from direct evidence.
572
00:24:57,697 --> 00:25:00,364
That we faked the moon
landing on a hollywood set.
573
00:25:00,366 --> 00:25:01,932
Okay, so what's next?
574
00:25:01,934 --> 00:25:04,034
Well, we need to solve
this mystery.
575
00:25:04,036 --> 00:25:08,105
I mean, kubrick died in '99,
so we can't ask him.
576
00:25:08,107 --> 00:25:11,642
But I've located the ultimate
source on kubrick...
577
00:25:11,644 --> 00:25:12,977
Douglas trumbull.
578
00:25:12,979 --> 00:25:15,279
Douglas trumbull was the special
effects supervisor.
579
00:25:15,281 --> 00:25:18,516
For stanley kubrick
on "2001: A space odyssey,".
580
00:25:18,518 --> 00:25:23,354
Which won an oscar
for best visual effects in 1969.
581
00:25:23,356 --> 00:25:25,556
If anyone would know about
the cinematic trickery.
582
00:25:25,558 --> 00:25:29,226
Needed to pull off a staged moon
landing, it would be trumbull.
583
00:25:29,228 --> 00:25:31,095
I'm heading out to meet him
and interview him.
584
00:25:31,097 --> 00:25:33,497
Okay. Good luck.
585
00:25:33,499 --> 00:25:36,967
Douglas trumbull is a pioneer
in the visual effects industry.
586
00:25:36,969 --> 00:25:38,636
Aside from his work on "2001,".
587
00:25:38,638 --> 00:25:41,118
Trumbull supervised the effects
for some of my favorite movies,
588
00:25:41,142 --> 00:25:44,375
Such as "close encounters of the
third kind" and "blade runner."
589
00:25:44,377 --> 00:25:46,176
I mean, the guy's a legend.
590
00:25:53,653 --> 00:25:54,985
- Doug.
- Welcome.
591
00:25:54,987 --> 00:25:56,587
- How are you?
- Good. Good to see you.
592
00:25:56,589 --> 00:25:58,429
Thanks for having me here.
Welcome to the farm.
593
00:25:58,453 --> 00:26:00,391
I feel like everything has been
pointing to this.
594
00:26:00,393 --> 00:26:01,926
Sit-down with douglas trumbull,
595
00:26:01,928 --> 00:26:04,728
A master of cinematic
visual effects.
596
00:26:04,730 --> 00:26:06,797
This investigation now
is as close.
597
00:26:06,799 --> 00:26:10,000
As it's going to get to someone
who actually had the skills.
598
00:26:10,002 --> 00:26:12,369
To recreate a moon landing
for nasa.
599
00:26:12,371 --> 00:26:15,439
The special effects genius
that you are.
600
00:26:15,441 --> 00:26:17,441
And the illusions that you make,
601
00:26:17,443 --> 00:26:22,012
It's tricking the mind
for the audience oftentimes.
602
00:26:22,014 --> 00:26:25,583
So roughly I think 1964 to 1968.
603
00:26:25,585 --> 00:26:28,819
Is when "2001" was being
put together...
604
00:26:28,821 --> 00:26:30,421
Yeah. And finally went to film.
605
00:26:30,423 --> 00:26:33,357
The process of doing
these shots for "2001".
606
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,727
Was kind of a meticulous,
creative art form.
607
00:26:36,729 --> 00:26:38,295
That we worked out.
608
00:26:38,297 --> 00:26:40,217
We were just learning,
and we were just doing it.
609
00:26:40,241 --> 00:26:41,532
For the first time.
610
00:26:41,534 --> 00:26:43,367
But aesthetically,
611
00:26:43,369 --> 00:26:46,036
We were pretty close to the mark
on what would look real.
612
00:26:46,038 --> 00:26:48,973
And that's why "2001"
survives today, 50 years later.
613
00:26:48,975 --> 00:26:50,908
It still looks pretty good,
you know?
614
00:26:50,910 --> 00:26:51,942
Right.
615
00:26:54,647 --> 00:26:58,182
How we did the lunar landscapes
for "2001"...
616
00:26:58,184 --> 00:27:03,687
I built a very large model of
the lunar surface out of clay,
617
00:27:03,689 --> 00:27:06,323
And so I realized I could go up
into the ceiling of the stage,
618
00:27:06,325 --> 00:27:08,759
You know, 40 feet up
and drop pebbles.
619
00:27:08,761 --> 00:27:11,595
And big droplets of water
onto the model of clay,
620
00:27:11,597 --> 00:27:14,632
And it would make instantaneous
thousands of craters.
621
00:27:14,634 --> 00:27:16,234
Right, it was mimicking
that exact thing.
622
00:27:16,258 --> 00:27:18,636
It was mimicking the pummeling
of the lunar surface,
623
00:27:18,638 --> 00:27:20,337
And that looked great.
624
00:27:20,339 --> 00:27:22,099
The interesting thing
about douglas trumbull.
625
00:27:22,123 --> 00:27:25,109
Is he found a way to visualize
and reproduce the lunar surface.
626
00:27:25,111 --> 00:27:29,513
Before humans even set a single
foot on the moon in 1969.
627
00:27:29,515 --> 00:27:32,049
It's just way too convenient
that the fictional world.
628
00:27:32,051 --> 00:27:35,185
He helped create
for a movie in 1968.
629
00:27:35,187 --> 00:27:38,589
Then became reality
just a year later.
630
00:27:38,591 --> 00:27:43,927
1969... we land on the moon
with the apollo 11 mission.
631
00:27:43,929 --> 00:27:47,031
One giant leap for mankind.
632
00:27:48,567 --> 00:27:51,935
Some people say that it took
place on a sound stage,
633
00:27:51,937 --> 00:27:54,304
And it was faked, and they say,
634
00:27:54,306 --> 00:27:58,275
"okay, did we have
the technology at that time."
635
00:27:58,277 --> 00:28:00,744
To construct a model.
636
00:28:00,746 --> 00:28:04,314
"To make it look like we did land
on the moon in a stage?"
637
00:28:04,316 --> 00:28:05,716
Eagle, houston.
638
00:28:05,718 --> 00:28:08,152
Houston, we see you
on the steerable. Over.
639
00:28:08,154 --> 00:28:10,054
I think we were really close.
Okay.
640
00:28:10,056 --> 00:28:12,256
So I think that that notion
that I could...
641
00:28:12,258 --> 00:28:14,098
I can understand how
that notion would come up.
642
00:28:14,122 --> 00:28:15,225
Right.
643
00:28:15,227 --> 00:28:17,107
Because we did such a,
I think, really good job.
644
00:28:17,131 --> 00:28:18,028
Phenomenal job.
645
00:28:18,030 --> 00:28:21,031
And so, I would say,
"okay, I can understand.
646
00:28:21,033 --> 00:28:24,802
Why you would believe
we could pull it off."
647
00:28:24,804 --> 00:28:28,038
Some people say that
stanley kubrick helped nasa.
648
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,107
In faking that.
649
00:28:30,109 --> 00:28:31,842
What do you say to those people,
650
00:28:31,844 --> 00:28:34,878
And do you think
that stanley kubrick.
651
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,514
Assisted nasa in that project?
652
00:28:39,952 --> 00:28:43,620
There's no basis in fact
for any of that.
653
00:28:43,622 --> 00:28:45,656
If it had been,
I would have been there.
654
00:28:45,658 --> 00:28:47,557
Because I was the key moon guy.
655
00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:48,659
Right.
656
00:28:48,661 --> 00:28:50,461
And I knew
where the stages were.
657
00:28:50,463 --> 00:28:52,930
There wasn't anybody else
around that would have done it.
658
00:28:52,932 --> 00:28:55,799
And stanley wasn't sneaking
off set during "2001" to...
659
00:28:55,801 --> 00:28:57,367
No, I don't think so. I mean,
660
00:28:57,369 --> 00:28:59,903
Certainly I had no knowledge
of anything like that.
661
00:29:02,108 --> 00:29:04,908
I have to ask this question
then.
662
00:29:04,910 --> 00:29:08,712
Because you were the special
effects genius of the time,
663
00:29:08,714 --> 00:29:10,914
That, as you stated
in your own words,
664
00:29:10,916 --> 00:29:14,384
Would have had to be put on
that project to conduct it,
665
00:29:14,386 --> 00:29:16,987
Did you have any involvement.
666
00:29:16,989 --> 00:29:19,189
In conducting
a fake lunar landing?
667
00:29:21,594 --> 00:29:23,827
You know, I'm pretty excited
to think about...
668
00:29:23,829 --> 00:29:27,364
I never did a spacewalk
on my two missions,
669
00:29:27,366 --> 00:29:29,266
Sts-122 and 129,
670
00:29:29,268 --> 00:29:33,337
But now I'm gonna get a
spacewalk on the moon, you know.
671
00:29:33,339 --> 00:29:35,005
There's also another source
of light.
672
00:29:35,007 --> 00:29:37,141
It's coming from...
673
00:29:55,261 --> 00:29:56,994
We caught up with
douglas trumbull,
674
00:29:56,996 --> 00:29:59,229
Who worked as
a special effects supervisor.
675
00:29:59,231 --> 00:30:03,267
On stanley kubrick's masterpiece
"2001: A space odyssey,".
676
00:30:03,269 --> 00:30:04,835
And we put him in the hot seat.
677
00:30:04,837 --> 00:30:07,504
I have to ask this question
then.
678
00:30:07,506 --> 00:30:09,439
Did you have any involvement.
679
00:30:09,441 --> 00:30:11,642
In conducting
a fake lunar landing?
680
00:30:14,380 --> 00:30:15,913
No. Sorry. I'm sor...
681
00:30:15,915 --> 00:30:17,548
I don't want to blow
your balloon.
682
00:30:17,550 --> 00:30:18,816
No.
683
00:30:18,818 --> 00:30:20,984
But there's another
interesting story for me.
684
00:30:20,986 --> 00:30:23,020
About the lunar landing
and apollo 11.
685
00:30:24,456 --> 00:30:26,896
Which was that, because of my
history of working on the movie,
686
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,792
I was hired by cbs news to work.
687
00:30:28,794 --> 00:30:30,928
On their coverage
of the apollo landing.
688
00:30:30,930 --> 00:30:32,229
No kidding? Yeah.
689
00:30:32,231 --> 00:30:33,631
Very few people know
about this one.
690
00:30:33,655 --> 00:30:34,998
Okay. I mean, they said,
691
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,434
"we want to be able
to show our audience.
692
00:30:37,436 --> 00:30:39,770
During the apollo 11 landing."
right.
693
00:30:39,772 --> 00:30:42,439
And I came up with an idea
which I pitched to cbs news.
694
00:30:42,441 --> 00:30:46,844
I said, "let's project images
of the apollo manual."
695
00:30:46,846 --> 00:30:50,981
Onto a screen and put them
in color with gels."
696
00:30:50,983 --> 00:30:55,385
This all came from my read-outs
for hal on "2001."
697
00:30:55,387 --> 00:30:57,054
I said, "we can do this." yeah.
698
00:30:57,056 --> 00:31:00,858
And I made this crazy
kind of manually.
699
00:31:00,860 --> 00:31:02,359
Controlled projection system.
700
00:31:02,361 --> 00:31:06,230
I had nine 16-millimeter
projectors.
701
00:31:06,232 --> 00:31:10,100
All projecting simultaneously
onto one rear-projection screen.
702
00:31:10,102 --> 00:31:12,236
On the set directly
below walter cronkite.
703
00:31:12,238 --> 00:31:14,838
Wow. And nasa gave you
that access?
704
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,306
Yeah.
705
00:31:16,308 --> 00:31:19,076
Once again, we have an example
of a motion picture icon.
706
00:31:19,078 --> 00:31:21,578
Collaborating directly with nasa
on a production,
707
00:31:21,580 --> 00:31:24,281
And in this case, the production
is to mimic the actual.
708
00:31:24,283 --> 00:31:26,483
Moon landing for a tv audience.
709
00:31:26,485 --> 00:31:27,751
So I can certainly understand.
710
00:31:27,753 --> 00:31:29,633
Why those in the conspiracy
community would say,
711
00:31:29,657 --> 00:31:31,521
"where there's smoke,
there's fire."
712
00:31:31,523 --> 00:31:32,856
Why do you think people today.
713
00:31:32,858 --> 00:31:34,791
Don't believe we landed
on the moon?
714
00:31:34,793 --> 00:31:38,228
It's so mind-bogglingly
complicated.
715
00:31:39,431 --> 00:31:40,991
There's reason to be
skeptical about it.
716
00:31:41,015 --> 00:31:42,132
Right.
717
00:31:42,134 --> 00:31:44,568
Thousands of great
engineers and minds.
718
00:31:44,570 --> 00:31:46,210
Put their heads together
and made it work.
719
00:31:46,234 --> 00:31:47,571
Right.
720
00:31:47,573 --> 00:31:50,173
And incredible bravery
on the part of those astronauts.
721
00:31:50,175 --> 00:31:52,609
To do that and to risk
their lives...
722
00:31:52,611 --> 00:31:54,244
Yeah... To pull that off.
723
00:31:54,246 --> 00:31:56,346
And there's no question
that they were there.
724
00:31:57,783 --> 00:31:59,783
And they've... they've been back
to the apollo landing site.
725
00:31:59,785 --> 00:32:00,984
They know what it looks like.
726
00:32:00,986 --> 00:32:02,486
That stuff is still there.
727
00:32:02,488 --> 00:32:04,554
It's a sacred place
because it actually did happen.
728
00:32:04,556 --> 00:32:06,924
That stuff is really there,
and we took it there.
729
00:32:06,926 --> 00:32:09,326
I just think it's insulting
and diminishes the hard work.
730
00:32:09,328 --> 00:32:11,762
That so many people did
to actually do the real thing.
731
00:32:16,068 --> 00:32:19,937
I appreciate you taking the time
for this interview.
732
00:32:19,939 --> 00:32:25,008
And for closing
a very open question.
733
00:32:25,010 --> 00:32:29,046
That leads to a lot of people
speculating that it was faked.
734
00:32:29,048 --> 00:32:31,815
Because of
the technological advances.
735
00:32:31,817 --> 00:32:35,018
That you brought to film
in "2001".
736
00:32:35,020 --> 00:32:38,155
And your teaming
with stanley kubrick.
737
00:32:38,157 --> 00:32:40,390
I think it does open the door.
738
00:32:40,392 --> 00:32:42,726
To that skepticism
that's out there,
739
00:32:42,728 --> 00:32:44,828
But I appreciate you
closing the tab.
740
00:32:44,830 --> 00:32:47,497
And saying, "no, we, in fact,
landed on the moon",
741
00:32:47,499 --> 00:32:48,999
"And it was not faked." correct.
742
00:32:49,001 --> 00:32:51,435
So I appreciate you
taking the time.
743
00:32:51,437 --> 00:32:53,503
To be as explicit as you were.
744
00:32:53,505 --> 00:32:54,671
Thank you. My pleasure.
745
00:32:54,673 --> 00:32:56,173
- Yeah.
- It's good to be asked.
746
00:32:56,175 --> 00:32:57,674
Yeah, absolutely.
747
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:09,953
For the past week,
while we were off.
748
00:33:09,955 --> 00:33:13,890
Investigating leads on hollywood
insiders with nasa ties,
749
00:33:13,892 --> 00:33:16,626
Our team of builders
has been working to help conduct.
750
00:33:16,628 --> 00:33:18,495
Our most complex experiment yet.
751
00:33:18,497 --> 00:33:20,998
And it's finally
all come together.
752
00:33:25,337 --> 00:33:27,704
No more talk.
It's time for action.
753
00:33:27,706 --> 00:33:30,073
We finally get to see
for ourselves if it was possible.
754
00:33:30,075 --> 00:33:33,043
To stage the apollo 11
moon landing on a set.
755
00:33:33,045 --> 00:33:34,277
- Okay.
- Let's do it.
756
00:33:36,382 --> 00:33:37,848
The team did a great job.
757
00:33:37,850 --> 00:33:40,951
They even built us a 400-pound
full-scale replica.
758
00:33:40,953 --> 00:33:43,820
Of the apollo 11 lunar lander.
759
00:33:43,822 --> 00:33:45,789
I mean, how cool is that?
760
00:33:45,791 --> 00:33:46,990
- Hey, art.
- Hey.
761
00:33:46,992 --> 00:33:48,792
- How are you doing?
- Art, how are you doing?
762
00:33:48,816 --> 00:33:49,816
Pleasure.
763
00:33:51,997 --> 00:33:55,032
I think we're trying to get
right at 11 degrees,
764
00:33:55,034 --> 00:33:58,068
Which is where the sun was
when they landed.
765
00:33:58,070 --> 00:34:00,037
Helping us to ensure that
the lighting conditions.
766
00:34:00,039 --> 00:34:03,106
Are 100-perfect accurate
is peter schultz,
767
00:34:03,108 --> 00:34:06,810
An expert on lunar geology who's
been studying the moon's surface.
768
00:34:06,812 --> 00:34:08,445
For over 40 years.
769
00:34:08,447 --> 00:34:11,114
Here are the stills
that neil armstrong,
770
00:34:11,116 --> 00:34:14,084
Who was already on the moon
taking the shots.
771
00:34:14,086 --> 00:34:18,422
Of buzz aldrin coming down
the ladder of the lunar lander.
772
00:34:18,424 --> 00:34:22,125
The shadow is pitch black,
and yet here we are in shadow,
773
00:34:22,127 --> 00:34:24,995
And you can very plainly
see the astronaut...
774
00:34:24,997 --> 00:34:27,531
It's that contrast
that makes people believe.
775
00:34:27,533 --> 00:34:29,466
That this is possibly
shot on a set.
776
00:34:29,468 --> 00:34:31,735
Somewhere with multiple
light sources.
777
00:34:31,737 --> 00:34:33,937
I mean, it's even more apparent
in the still imagery.
778
00:34:33,939 --> 00:34:36,506
Buzz is damn near glowing
in the photograph.
779
00:34:36,508 --> 00:34:39,009
The conspiracy community thinks
this is fishy,
780
00:34:39,011 --> 00:34:40,510
And I can't say I blame them.
781
00:34:40,512 --> 00:34:42,179
So I guess that's
the question...
782
00:34:42,181 --> 00:34:46,149
Is there enough light
kicked up from the moon.
783
00:34:46,151 --> 00:34:48,018
In order to light buzz up.
784
00:34:48,020 --> 00:34:50,220
So that he's actually not
in the shadow?
785
00:34:50,222 --> 00:34:53,123
The lunar surface is actually
very dark.
786
00:34:53,125 --> 00:34:55,926
It's... we see this
with this light here,
787
00:34:55,928 --> 00:34:57,928
But, in fact,
it only reflects about 8%.
788
00:34:57,930 --> 00:35:00,030
To 10% of the light
that comes in.
789
00:35:00,032 --> 00:35:02,899
So if it only reflects
8% to 10% of the light.
790
00:35:02,901 --> 00:35:04,581
That's actually striking
the lunar surface.
791
00:35:04,605 --> 00:35:06,336
And it's not that reflective,
792
00:35:06,338 --> 00:35:08,638
Then doesn't that kind of
make the point?
793
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,674
Yeah. And I guess that's what
we're going to test.
794
00:35:10,676 --> 00:35:12,476
Right. Let's do this first test.
795
00:35:12,478 --> 00:35:14,077
Black ceiling. Black walls.
796
00:35:14,079 --> 00:35:15,479
Let's do it. Here we go.
797
00:35:15,481 --> 00:35:18,815
For this to be an accurate
experiment, we need a control.
798
00:35:18,817 --> 00:35:21,017
So first, we'll do one version
with the floor.
799
00:35:21,019 --> 00:35:22,953
And the walls in black,
800
00:35:22,955 --> 00:35:25,489
And everyone nearby
in dark clothing.
801
00:35:25,491 --> 00:35:28,492
To minimize reflections.
802
00:35:28,494 --> 00:35:30,393
Then we'll change
the color of the floor.
803
00:35:30,395 --> 00:35:32,696
So it matches
the reflective properties.
804
00:35:32,698 --> 00:35:33,964
Of the moon's surface.
805
00:35:33,966 --> 00:35:35,132
Alrighty.
806
00:35:40,606 --> 00:35:43,073
You know, chad, this brings
back lots of memories.
807
00:35:43,075 --> 00:35:45,942
- I bet good ones.
- Yeah, very good ones.
808
00:35:45,944 --> 00:35:48,078
I'm pretty excited
for today's experiment.
809
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,148
Because I actually get to go
back to my astronaut roots.
810
00:35:51,150 --> 00:35:52,949
And put on the spacesuit.
811
00:35:52,951 --> 00:35:54,684
Now chad and I get to play
the parts.
812
00:35:54,686 --> 00:35:56,953
Of neil armstrong
and buzz aldrin.
813
00:35:56,955 --> 00:35:59,089
You know, I'm pretty excited
to think about...
814
00:35:59,091 --> 00:36:04,594
I never did a spacewalk on my
two missions, sts-122 and 129,
815
00:36:04,596 --> 00:36:08,932
But now, I'm gonna get a
spacewalk on the moon, you know.
816
00:36:08,934 --> 00:36:10,367
- Here we go.
- Space man.
817
00:36:16,842 --> 00:36:18,362
Alright, I think we're
all in position,
818
00:36:18,386 --> 00:36:20,043
So, good luck
getting up that ladder.
819
00:36:20,045 --> 00:36:21,211
Thanks, man.
820
00:36:21,213 --> 00:36:22,933
I'm going to go head over
to where neil was.
821
00:36:22,957 --> 00:36:25,224
- Okay.
- Let's do it.
822
00:36:40,365 --> 00:36:42,032
It's really dark on this.
823
00:37:05,457 --> 00:37:06,977
Alright.
I think we're all in position,
824
00:37:07,001 --> 00:37:08,425
So good luck
getting up that ladder.
825
00:37:08,427 --> 00:37:09,759
Thanks, man.
826
00:37:09,761 --> 00:37:11,321
It's time for us to roll up
our sleeves.
827
00:37:11,345 --> 00:37:13,317
And see for ourselves
if the surface of the moon.
828
00:37:13,319 --> 00:37:15,999
Was reflective enough
to illuminate buzz aldrin.
829
00:37:16,001 --> 00:37:18,768
As he came down the ladder
of the lunar module in shadow.
830
00:37:18,770 --> 00:37:20,704
I'm gonna head over
to where neil was.
831
00:37:20,706 --> 00:37:22,973
- Okay.
- Let's do it.
832
00:37:24,743 --> 00:37:26,543
With the help of a little
hollywood magic,
833
00:37:26,545 --> 00:37:28,111
We're conducting two tests...
834
00:37:28,113 --> 00:37:30,247
Recreating the same
lighting conditions.
835
00:37:30,249 --> 00:37:32,582
As the apollo 11 moon landing.
836
00:37:32,584 --> 00:37:34,384
First up, it's the control test.
837
00:37:34,386 --> 00:37:36,853
With a black floor
and a black backdrop.
838
00:37:48,934 --> 00:37:50,533
It's really dark on this.
839
00:37:54,473 --> 00:37:55,913
Pretty close in terms
of the shading.
840
00:37:55,937 --> 00:37:57,507
Yeah, but...
I think it's pretty good.
841
00:37:57,509 --> 00:37:59,042
What did you guys see?
842
00:37:59,044 --> 00:38:00,410
You were doing it
in the shadows.
843
00:38:00,412 --> 00:38:01,878
- Yeah.
- So the next question is,
844
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,381
When you put down
a lighter surface...
845
00:38:04,383 --> 00:38:05,615
Right... Will it change?
846
00:38:05,617 --> 00:38:06,883
Okay, let's give it a shot.
847
00:38:06,885 --> 00:38:08,351
Now that we have our control,
848
00:38:08,353 --> 00:38:10,587
We need to change the color
of the floor.
849
00:38:10,589 --> 00:38:12,722
So it matches
the reflective properties.
850
00:38:12,724 --> 00:38:14,357
Of the moon's surface.
851
00:38:14,359 --> 00:38:16,760
Based on peter's research,
this should make everything.
852
00:38:16,762 --> 00:38:20,130
Only 10% brighter,
which is not a whole lot.
853
00:38:20,132 --> 00:38:22,399
Will it really make
any difference?
854
00:38:22,401 --> 00:38:23,833
Alright. Visors down.
855
00:38:23,835 --> 00:38:25,001
Alright. Let's go.
856
00:38:25,003 --> 00:38:26,436
Good luck, buzz.
857
00:38:30,442 --> 00:38:32,842
- Look at that.
- Yeah.
858
00:38:32,844 --> 00:38:34,444
Right here.
859
00:38:34,446 --> 00:38:35,745
- It's...
- Shading.
860
00:38:35,747 --> 00:38:36,946
Amazing what that...
861
00:38:39,785 --> 00:38:41,551
- Notice the...
- Yeah.
862
00:38:47,626 --> 00:38:50,560
Okay, so, right away,
what I see is that everything...
863
00:38:50,562 --> 00:38:52,762
The light's a lot more
filled in here.
864
00:38:52,764 --> 00:38:56,032
The ground itself is brighter
than that black surface.
865
00:38:56,034 --> 00:38:58,468
And that's the effect of that
scattered, ambient light.
866
00:38:58,470 --> 00:39:00,036
Right.
867
00:39:00,038 --> 00:39:02,172
That's proof right there
that the light is scattering.
868
00:39:02,174 --> 00:39:03,340
Yeah.
869
00:39:03,342 --> 00:39:05,542
This is actually
pretty surprising.
870
00:39:05,544 --> 00:39:07,177
You can see a lot
of detail here.
871
00:39:07,179 --> 00:39:09,112
The light seems to be
bouncing all around,
872
00:39:09,114 --> 00:39:12,982
But is it only coming
from the ground?
873
00:39:12,984 --> 00:39:14,584
There's also
another source of light.
874
00:39:14,586 --> 00:39:17,387
It's coming from
neil armstrong's suit,
875
00:39:17,389 --> 00:39:19,522
Which is white.
876
00:39:19,524 --> 00:39:22,826
I mean, this guy...
Look how bright he is.
877
00:39:22,828 --> 00:39:25,295
He's just like a beacon
shining up.
878
00:39:25,297 --> 00:39:27,397
So my suit was what
was reflecting.
879
00:39:27,399 --> 00:39:29,232
And lighting up buzz as well?
Exactly.
880
00:39:29,234 --> 00:39:31,101
- Big giant reflector.
- Not just the moon's surface...
881
00:39:31,103 --> 00:39:32,863
- Not just the moon's surface.
- But also me.
882
00:39:32,887 --> 00:39:34,204
You were also the source. Yep.
883
00:39:34,206 --> 00:39:38,475
And that's why it could look
like there was light on buzz.
884
00:39:38,477 --> 00:39:39,837
When he was
coming down the ladder.
885
00:39:39,861 --> 00:39:41,878
Yeah. That's exactly right.
Okay.
886
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:43,446
So, peter, do you
agree with that?
887
00:39:43,448 --> 00:39:46,616
Of course. I think this really
makes that point.
888
00:39:46,618 --> 00:39:49,285
So, basically, I've heard
this argument for years.
889
00:39:49,287 --> 00:39:50,587
From the conspiracy community.
890
00:39:50,589 --> 00:39:53,556
That, you know, you have to have
a second light source.
891
00:39:53,558 --> 00:39:55,678
Or you have to have a bunch
of people with reflectors.
892
00:39:55,702 --> 00:39:58,428
In order to get this effect
and get these shadows filled in,
893
00:39:58,430 --> 00:40:00,730
But I think we've pretty
conclusively proved here...
894
00:40:00,732 --> 00:40:04,601
We've shown that the surface
itself and even neil's suit,
895
00:40:04,603 --> 00:40:06,202
Which never occurred
to me before,
896
00:40:06,204 --> 00:40:07,937
Could act like big reflectors.
897
00:40:07,939 --> 00:40:09,105
Right. Putting the light...
898
00:40:09,107 --> 00:40:11,508
Scattering the light
into the shadows.
899
00:40:11,510 --> 00:40:14,310
And making those photographs
completely viable.
900
00:40:27,592 --> 00:40:29,793
Alright.
901
00:40:29,795 --> 00:40:31,861
Well, that test of the
moon-landing footage.
902
00:40:31,863 --> 00:40:33,129
Was awesome.
903
00:40:33,131 --> 00:40:34,964
I even got to wear a spacesuit.
904
00:40:34,966 --> 00:40:36,966
And play neil armstrong
for a day.
905
00:40:36,968 --> 00:40:38,868
I've been involved in
many investigations.
906
00:40:38,870 --> 00:40:39,969
During my ten years.
907
00:40:39,971 --> 00:40:42,105
As an fbi
counter-terrorism special agent,
908
00:40:42,107 --> 00:40:45,074
And this investigation
was just as comprehensive.
909
00:40:45,076 --> 00:40:48,445
And, frankly, as eye-opening
as any I've ever seen.
910
00:40:48,447 --> 00:40:51,548
We've gone from
one investigation to the next.
911
00:40:51,550 --> 00:40:53,616
The apollo 1 fire.
912
00:40:53,618 --> 00:40:54,851
Wow.
913
00:40:54,853 --> 00:40:57,353
The myth that the soviets
had a super rocket.
914
00:41:00,525 --> 00:41:04,394
The claim the lunar lander
never could have worked.
915
00:41:06,598 --> 00:41:09,165
And probably the craziest
one of all,
916
00:41:09,167 --> 00:41:11,935
The entire landing
was filmed in some set.
917
00:41:14,406 --> 00:41:16,272
I know it's human nature
to question things.
918
00:41:16,274 --> 00:41:18,308
We don't understand or events.
919
00:41:18,310 --> 00:41:20,143
That we don't
experience firsthand,
920
00:41:20,145 --> 00:41:21,744
But we've turned
over every rock,
921
00:41:21,746 --> 00:41:23,780
We've tested the evidence,
922
00:41:23,782 --> 00:41:26,149
We've applied
scientific reasoning.
923
00:41:26,151 --> 00:41:28,318
To the biggest
conspiracy theories,
924
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,620
And the results point to...
925
00:41:30,622 --> 00:41:32,922
We did walk on the moon.
926
00:41:32,924 --> 00:41:35,925
This investigation definitely
made me mad at times,
927
00:41:35,927 --> 00:41:39,929
But it was all worth it to prove
that all the sacrifices made.
928
00:41:39,931 --> 00:41:44,033
By my nasa brothers and sisters
got us to the moon and back.
929
00:41:44,035 --> 00:41:46,936
So mike, do you still stand
by the conspiracy theory.
930
00:41:46,938 --> 00:41:48,805
That we never landed
on the moon?
931
00:41:48,807 --> 00:41:51,374
Surprise. I'm all in.
932
00:41:51,376 --> 00:41:52,609
Case closed.
933
00:41:52,611 --> 00:41:55,278
Case closed.
We went to the moon.
934
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,647
Pi-yow. I always knew it, guys.
935
00:41:57,649 --> 00:41:58,929
I know I had a lot of questions.
936
00:41:58,931 --> 00:42:00,331
About the legitimacy
of the moon landing,
937
00:42:00,333 --> 00:42:01,951
But I'm really glad
that we were able.
938
00:42:01,953 --> 00:42:03,653
To successfully
answer all of them.
939
00:42:03,655 --> 00:42:05,255
Just because I needed
to see more proof.
940
00:42:05,257 --> 00:42:07,223
Doesn't mean
that I wanted to believe.
941
00:42:07,225 --> 00:42:09,025
That neil armstrong,
buzz aldrin,
942
00:42:09,027 --> 00:42:11,194
And michael collins
were anything other than.
943
00:42:11,196 --> 00:42:12,962
True american heroes.
944
00:42:12,964 --> 00:42:14,964
Case closed...
We went to the moon.
945
00:42:14,966 --> 00:42:16,165
Let's go.
946
00:42:18,570 --> 00:42:20,637
You won this one. I know.
