Today we’re moonwalking straight into the chaotic world of Apollo 11 conspiracy theories — where facts are optional, confidence is abundant, and someone somewhere is insisting the shadows “just don’t line up.”
Although millions watched the moon landing live, doubts started swirling almost immediately. Then along came Bill Kaysing in 1976, brandishing his book We Never Went to the Moon: America’s $30 Billion Swindle like a tabloid headline written during Mercury retrograde. With one extremely shouty title, he helped launch the conspiracy movement into the stratosphere.
In this episode, we unpack how the media fanned the flames, why the 1970s were ripe for a hoax explosion, and how wildly confident claims take hold of public belief. We explore the history, the hysteria, and the hilariously bold certainty of people who’ve never set foot on the moon — or a film set, for that matter. Did we really land on the moon? Nikki and Cheryl are here to deliver the RECEIPTS, PROOF, TIMELINES!
Topics Covered:
• Apollo 11’s early doubters
• Bill Kaysing’s “did he really say that?” arguments
• Why conspiracy theories thrive in chaotic times
• The media’s role in shaping hoax culture
• How narratives stick and spread
• Why media literacy still matters (and always will)
