In 1969, Apollo 11 was the first crewed mission to land on the Moon.
Or was it?
According to conspiracy theorists, it's obvious that the moon landing was faked. Now, I don't usually pay much attention to such claims, but a few days ago Joe Rogan published a new episode of his podcast, in which he hosted none other than Bart Sibrel himself, giving him a platform to spread his anti-science nonsense to millions of people around the world.
So, as a scientist, more specifically an astrophysicist, I feel that it is my duty to debunk his claims one by one and to explain the science behind the Apollo 11 mission.
Tune in!

We can criticize the origins of NASA all we want but no doubt we have learned a great deal from our small departure from this planet! Cheers 🍻

Now we are debating the semantics of artificial light, when what was meant was clear and obvious, and this nullifies the claims how??? I suspect we did land on the moon, but there are several issues that NASA has explained poorly and inconsistently over time, and I would like to know why without having the questions derailed by false logic and distractions. My guess is we went to the moon but had falsified footage to provide a greater impact visually and eliminate the possibility of failure in a must win scenario. If it was a hoax, I don't know why they would have gone back, but then again, not sure why they went back if it wasn't a hoax either. Very expensive repeat experiment.

@Tom_Clark 17 күн бұрын

I don’t agree with a lot of what Bart has said but your arguments need to be better before you debate him. 1. The flag argument, he wasn’t referring to the flag standing to attention because he didn’t realise there was a rod holding it up. I think anyone would / could see that a rod is threaded through. His argument is more about how it “waves in the wind”. I know you say it’s because of the vibrations from the astronauts and the they of atmosphere, however I’d like to hear the explanation as to why the “wave” slows down and speeds up at points whilst the astronauts aren’t near it. Otherwise he’s point could still be valid. 2. The van allen belt, he covers why astronauts on the ISS and previous missions aren’t affected by it, I believe he states it starts x000miles away, almost like a doughnut, so wouldn’t affect the ISS and more to do with heading much further out. 3. Time delay for talking, he covers this. His argument is quite compelling, he accepts that there should be a time delay, he asks why there is a voice stating “talk”. Could the voice be a button that the astronauts pressed that made them aware that their voice was being broadcast? 4. I agree, people got bored of the moon, it became expensive, waste of tax payers money etc. nothing to gain to keep going back, mars was a step too far at that point in time. I don’t have the time to go through the full video, but your arguments need to be better before you debate him. He makes valid points. Maybe NASA did fake some photos? Doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. The biggest tell for me was that Russia would have been tracking that rocket the entire time, it would have been exposed as a fraud back then, his argument that NASA is being blackmailed has no foundation as we don’t know the source.

There were plenty of problems throughout, like Armstrong's last second boulder dodging or the circuit breaker issue that nearly stranded Apollo 11, just none that completely derailed everything except Apollo 13, which I see you acknowledged by saying 5 instead of 6 (a 16.6% failure rate).

@vitaly2432 16 күн бұрын

Apollo 11 was the first of the "Apollos" to actually intend a landing. The previous and subsequent flights weren't "fails" as someone said here, beside Apollo 1 (whose crew died in an accident during testing) and Apollo 13 turning from a landing mission to a flyby. The last Apollo to go to the Moon was Apollo 17, and there were 6 landings in total. It's all documented to the point that it's incredibly irrational to argue against it. You could argue that your own birth was fake while you're at it.

Brian, first off, this is coming from a huge fan. I first saw you on JRE, and have been a follower ever since. Great channel, great content. But I want to share some feedback. If Bart or Joe do take you up on your offer, it is imperative that you approach the debate in the right way. Flint Dibble was so successful in his debate with Graham Hancock because he refused to make it a personal thing. He went in prepared with facts upon facts. He responded to Graham's claims on a factual basis. You may notice that what Graham did was try to drag Flint in to the mud of personal attack; but Flint didn't take the bait. This is the master level approach. Do not make it personal. While Bart's claims may be ridiculous, he may be besmirching the name of Nasa and well meaning scientists, don't make it about that. Make it ONLY about the scientific claims. It is too tempting to assume that he is a fool, or he is a charlatan, or ridiculous. All those things may be true, but as soon as you dip your argument in to talking about him in any way, you cede ground. You give him ammunition to make it about being silenced, etc etc. You drag the argument exactly where he wants it: unprovable ground. You are a principled scientist who cares about the facts; Bart is not. He only cares about proving his conclusion. So, he will say anything and take the conversation in any direction that keeps you from disproving his conclusion. Make it about the facts, facts, facts. Flint took 2 weeks vacation to prepare for his debate with Graham. He talked to other experts who helped him assemble his refutation. He came with slides upon slides. He made it a stipulation of his coming on JRE that he was able to go first, and present his case. It is my recommendation to you to do the same thing. This conversation has too much reach to be taken lightly. It is important. My 2 cents on the matter. Good luck brother.

I watched the moon walk live at an outback school (Yetman Primary School) around midday NSW time on the 20th July 1969 (we are a day ahead of course), Australia. The moon walk was received by the Parks radio telescope using Australian owned equipment and personal. The broadcast was live from Parks received before the rest of the world. The broadcast started with the first 2 minutes from Hunnysuckle Creek (replaced with the DSN Tidbinbilla facility today) NASA sponsored dish near Canberra, to the Parks dish (CSIRO) for the rest of the 2 Hour moon walk, you can see in the broadcast an improvement in the quality on the switchover to Parks. The Parks dish is 538 wavelengths across at 2200 MHz so has a beamwidth of 0.13 degrees. The moon is 0.5 degrees wide, so if it wasn't pointing at the moon or even the correct part of the moon, then there wouldn't be anything received. Australian technicians, engineers and scientists have no interest in some dumb conspiracy, let alone the US taxpayer and 400,000 brilliant US individuals that made Apollo possible.

@Greg-xs5py 11 күн бұрын

I watched that Joe Rogan episode, it sent chills through me. This rebute needs to be imporved upon since I feel like it's not exactly addressing some of the concerns raised. As a simple example, Brian doesn't seem to understand the motivation for faking the moon landing, making the strawman argument that it is to increase funding for NASA. This is a failure of understanding of the psychology of the cold war. Also maybe it's correct to be angry about this, but remember the heart of science is skepticism of authority, that's why we insist on testing theories. So a scientist who loses his cool over a skeptic is a turn off. Bart, and people like him that are skeptical, are not lunatics, they might be wrong, but they are not lunatics, as far as I can tell. And they need to be disproven with cool calm facts. Don't need sarcasm, strawmans or insults. As another example, Brian says that the fact that we have lazor reflectors on the moon is great evidence we were there. But then Brain immediately undermines this evidence by stating that the Russians did the same thing, only they did it remotely. So if they can do it remotely, I would imagine we could as well. My biggest concern, being a electrical engineer, is how did they put this all together in only ten years? In ten years time they went from nothing to putting a man on the moon. Do you know how long it takes to do simple things? And not just that, what were the odds of success? If those astronauts died wouldn't that be a national tragedy so was it worth the risk when we were in a cold war with Russia? One of Bart's strongest points, other than the radiation belt, was the observation that nothing really ever works the first time. He mentions how it took some airplane hundreds of attempts to lift off the ground. How did they know that the landing craft would be able to successfully launch off the moon and then intersect with the orbiting space shuttle, on the very first time, with zero room for error, with 1960s technology, after only ten years of work? Three astronuats were killed just sitting in the spaceship, docked on Earth, when they turned it on, basically right before this happened. The only convincing evidence that The moon landing is probably the greatest triump of human history, not just technological, but also a triump of the human spirit. It is one of the greastest sources of pride we have as Americans. We need to have a debate to settle this issue, at least for me. We may have to debate this with each new generation who was not alive at the time to witness it, so be it. Remember, truth above all else.

The Apollo astronauts were not significantly harmed by radiation during their missions because they traveled through the Van Allen radiation belts quickly, limiting their exposure time, and the spacecraft provided a shield against most of the radiation.

The lethality of the van Allen belts is completely wrong and full of misinformation. If you want an explanation look it up yourself and if you claim otherwise then you have the behavior and logic of a flat earther but about the moon. Conspiracy theorist these days assume things without doing the research themselves. Ever heard of gravity and slingshot maneuvers? Not to mention the lack of resistance and that the rocket was using 3 stages to achieve the feat. I would like to know why you are so against human achievement. It is also hilarious that you conspiracy theorist think they are leaving clues behind so they can be exposed rather than make an effort to hide it. That is conspiracy logic. You want to know the amount of fuel needed? Just under 950,000 pounds and no it isn't the typical fuel. It is liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. The third and final stage of liftoff required 66,700 gallons of liquid hydrogen and 19,359 gallons of liquid oxygen. Do your research before making bold conspiracy claims in the form of questions.

Is it a good comparison - Moon Landing v reaching the Poles? The technology required to go to the Poles was far more primitive compared to that required for landing on the Moon. The technology for going back to the Poles improved making it easier to return after 50 years. The original technology for the first visit to the Poles from 50 years earlier had (unlike the technology for the Appolo missions) not been lost. It would be possible even today to go back to the Poles with the technology available when it was first done. Difficult, but possible. Moreover - 50 years after the alleged Moon landing - the technology available has improved almost beyond recognition - yet there still hasn't been any return to the Moon - and unlikely to be even an attempt in the reasonably foreseeable future. I don't know whether Neil Armstrong did set foot on the Moon. If he did - absolutely amazing. If he didn't -also absolutely amazing - since it required that the USA pull off one of the biggest deceptions in history. Well done either way. Et In Arcadia Ego. Paul

Rocket technology has not progressed much at all and although modern computers are far more sophisticated, they are far more vulnerable to particle radiation than those that used low density integrated circuits and magnetic core memory, both of which are extremely radiation hard. There is also no cold war imperative and no time limit placed on it by a president. The terrain will be rougher this time with longer shadows and a heavier lander. We also live in much more risk averse times. All these issues are what has caused it to take so long this time around.

At 24:15, you start talking about how the moon rocks have proved the moon has a magnetic field. That immediately made me think of an article I read from Popular Mechanics. Here are some excerpts that completely contradict what you are saying: "...scientists say they can show the moon hasn’t had a magnetic field for at least the last 4 billion years-chipping away at a longtime argument over whether the moon ever had a magnetic field at all. Their evidence comes via specimens gathered during the Apollo missions decades ago." "So scientists used samples gathered from the Apollo missions decades ago, made of the right kind of material to register magnetic activity, like the car paint or nail polish. The Apollo samples, formed at ∼3.9, 3.6, 3.3, and 3.2 billion years ago, don’t show any evidence of core dynamo activity-the telltale behavior indicating the presence of a magnetic field. (A dynamo is a spinning electrical generator, like the spinning, iron core of the Earth.) There’s a second step to the research, too. That’s for scientists to show that the moon’s surface shows evidence the moon has been consistently blasted by solar winds-something the magnetic field would protect against." So who is correct on this particular issue then? You in your so far WILDLY inaccurate and misleading video? Or them over at Popular Mechanics? If the magnetometers claim a lunar magnetic field, but the rocks don't, doesn't that warrant scrutiny? I assume you'll say not. Your video just gets worse as it goes on...

@jimpresser3438 17 күн бұрын

The Moon does not currently have a dipolar magnetic field like Earth does. Its magnetic field is very weak in comparison. The primary difference lies in the fact that the Moon’s magnetization is almost entirely crustal in location. Lunar rocks formed 1 to 2.5 billion years ago were created in a field of about 5 microtesla (μT), whereas present-day Earth’s magnetic field is around 50 μT1. During the Apollo program, magnetic field strength readings ranged from 6γ (6nT) to a maximum of 313γ (0.31μT) at different sites. Some hypotheses suggest that the Moon acquired its crustal magnetizations early in its history when a geodynamo was still operating. However, it’s also possible that transient magnetic fields were generated during large impact events. Recent observations indicate that high paleofield strengths from Apollo samples may record impacts rather than a core dynamo. Regardless, the Moon’s current lack of a long-lasting magnetic field has implications for its volatile resources and geological history1

Moreover, aside from the unmanned testing and validation, Apollo 8 which journeyed to the moon, Apollo 9 that tested the LM, Apollo 10 was a dress-rehearsal for the landing and took the LM to within a mere 47,000 ft of the lunar surface. *_"and then 4 more times without incident"_* So you claim to be knowledgeable about "science and space" but you didn't know that there were a further five landings or of the near catastrophic Apollo 13 mission? Furthermore, each Apollo mission was fraught with risk, danger and technical problems. Some of them serious, others not so much. It is testament to the redundancies engineered into the programme and the expertise, ingenuity and diligence of the astronauts and the personnel on the ground that a crew was not lost. *_"and then decided to stop because they were bored with it?"_* They had achieved the objective and Congress were no longer willing to provide the obscene levels of funding necessary to sustain the Programme.

POINT 1. If you are the same Keating who is a professor at UCSD, then your university's web site says that your research is funded by (1) NASA, (2) the NSF, (3) United States Antarctic Program, and (4) others. What would happen to your funding if you agreed with Bart Sibrel ? Don't you have a conflict of interest ? POINT 2. Sibrel wrote a book entitled "Moon Man." It is available from an on-line seller whose name is similar to "Amazing." That on-line seller posts reviews. One reviewer, named "Z8," claims to be a 24-year veteran of the USAF. Z8 states, in paragraph 5, that (1) liftoff from the moon, plus (2) subsequent docking with an orbiting command ship, is a process he calls "rejoining." Z8 states that he has practiced "rejoining" in aircraft. Z8 states that "rejoining," on the moon as described by NASA, is "beyond ridiculous." Z8 states: "Six times, without a hitch. No." POINT 3. There are web sites which set out images taken by spy satellites. The spy satellites orbit at about 100 miles above the earth, but they must look through the atmosphere. One site, named 38north, followed by org, shows an impressive satellite photo. You can distinguish semi-trailer trucks from pick-up trucks and from ordinary cars. NASA's LRO, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, orbits at 31 miles above the moon, and there is no atmosphere. NASA claims that the LRO has found the landing sites of the Apollo craft, but the images are ludicrously crude, in view of those demonstrated by 38north. Restated: 38north demonstrates that discernable photos are available from the LRO, but NASA apparently fails to provide them.

@marksprague1280 13 күн бұрын

I won't bother with point 1 and the desperate grasping at straws. Point 2: The only "joining" that aircraft perform is mid air refueling. It is a process complicated by winds and the eddies that the lead aircraft generates. In space, there are no such external forces acting on the craft, and each will move at a constant velocity and continue in the same direction until one or the other fires a thruster. The target vehicle can be considered stationary, and the rendezvousing vehicle moves to join it. All that is required is patience and a means of measuring relative velocity, either radar or a trained human eye. Point 3: You're talking apples and oranges. The recon satellite is fitted with high-resolution, narrow field of view lenses to observe objects. The LRO was intended for mapping the surface and was fitted with wide-angle lenses for landscape work.

This was pretty underwhelming. As expected, you didn't rebut the best arguments. Yes, 99.99% of the photo and video evidence is consistent with expectations. The conspiracy/simulation theory hinges on the anomalies. The motivation to take the moon missions was to win the cold war, according to proponents. The soviets were ahead of the Americans in virtually all aspects of space and rocket tech. There is a nice documentary called 'The Engines that came in from the cold' showing how NASA engineers were shocked by how advanced Russian rocket tech was, decades ahead of the US. 1. **First and foremost, you never addressed Sibrel's primary evidence, namely, the video footage showing the astronauts 'faking' being halfway to the moon**. 2. Re: the flag, nobody doubts the flag on the moon would have waved when touched. The argument is that there is video footage showing it suddenly start to move even when nobody touches it, I believe mostly from Apollo 15, and 17. 3. Re: the shadows. Yes, the term 'electrical light' sounds ridiculous, but you didn't even address or attempt to explain the anomalous photos wrt to the shadows. This is covered in detail in the conspiracy film 'American Moon', which is probably the best version of the conspiracist arguments I've seen. And no, 'mythbusters' did not debunk this. Terrain doesn't explain these photos. A debunking would show how you can get close to 90 degree shadows from nearby objects in relatively flat terrain using only the sun, where the sunlight is coming from the side (i.e. not vertical, not a result of perspective). Some photos show shadows and patterns of illumination consistent only with a single close, artificial stage light or else multiple artificial lights. 4. Re: the moon rocks; moon rocks exist on earth too, like in Antarctica, and they can be picked up by unmanned missions. This isn't evidence at all that humans went to the moon. 5. Re: the 'retroreflectors'. I think this is a pretty good argument. The skeptics argue that: a) people were bouncing lasers off the moon way before the Apollo moon missions, and b) you can put them on the moon with unmanned missions, as apparently the Soviets did, so this isn't evidence that the video/photographic record is authentic. 6. Re: the audio delays, contra Sibrel, the argument is that the responses are sometimes too fast, less than 2-3 seconds or whatever. Finally, and lastly,, I'll just mention that I find the argument that 'everybody would have to be in on it' is pretty weak. In reality, only a dozen or so people would need to know. Presumably, all those scientists thought it was real b/c there was no way to distinguish between data coming from a simulation and the real thing.

The astronauts were never exposed to the maximum temperature on the Moon which is +260F at mid-day. With no atmosphere this refers to surface temperature not atmospheric temperature. Every lunar landing was made shortly after sunrise. One lunar day (dawn to dusk) lasts nearly 15 Earth days, and the astronauts were only on the Moon for a maximum of 3 Earth days, so they weren’t there long enough for the Sun to be at its highest and hottest or at night when the Moon is at its coldest.
