There are conspiracy theories that the moon landing was faked by
NASA. Possible motives are: 1. National prestige during the space
race. 2. A distraction from the Vietnam War. 3. NASA trying to save
face after the Apollo 1 disaster.
Conspiracy Theorists believe the landing was faked and all video
footage and all evidence was fabricated by NASA, with some
believing that Hollywood producers helped film the "fake"
footage.
The moon landings have been verified by several 3rd party
sources and the conspiracy theories have been thoroughly
debunked.
