"Despite being debunked time and time again, a startling proportion of the public still hold onto these claims. According to a 2022 survey, an outrageous ten percent of respondents said they agreed with conspiracy claims that NASA faked the Moon landings."
"Fortunately, there's an astronomical amount of evidence to suggest the space agency's imminent launch is not, in fact, an ill-conceived and ludicrously expensive April Fools' gag."
"The plan is to spend the next ten days traveling to and then around the Moon, which will involve a slow perigee raise maneuver to gain enough altitude for 'trans-lunar injection' by their Orion spacecraft's main engine."
Conspiracy theories claiming NASA faked the Moon landings have persisted for decades, despite being debunked. A 2022 survey revealed that 10% of respondents still believe these claims. As NASA prepares for its Artemis 2 mission on April Fools' Day, skeptics may use the date to fuel their beliefs. However, substantial evidence supports the authenticity of NASA's lunar missions. The Artemis 2 crew is set to launch from Kennedy Space Center, retracing steps from the Apollo era, with plans for a ten-day mission around the Moon.
