This YouTube transcript from Bart Sibrel’s video “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon - MM2” argues that the Apollo 11 moon landing was a hoax. The video presents purported evidence of inconsistencies in NASA’s official accounts, including photographic anomalies, alleged inconsistencies in lighting and shadows, and what Sibrel claims is unreleased footage showing the astronauts staging parts of their mission in Earth orbit. Sibrel suggests political and technological motivations for the alleged deception, emphasizing the Cold War space race and the immense financial investment in the Apollo program. The video concludes by calling for transparency and accountability from the government regarding this alleged conspiracy.
