Overwhelming evidence, including Moon rocks, independent tracking, and follow-up missions, confirms the landings were real. Some people believe that the 1969 Apollo 11 Moon landing was staged, but there is strong scientific and historical proof that astronauts really went to the Moon.
NASA brought back 382 kilograms (842 pounds) of Moon rocks, which scientists have studied worldwide. These rocks are different from Earth rocks and show no signs of being fake. Independent space agencies, including those from Russia and China, tracked Apollo missions and confirmed they went to the Moon.
Modern satellites, such as NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, have taken high-resolution photos of the Apollo landing sites, showing equipment left behind by astronauts. The retroreflectors placed on the Moon by Apollo missions are still used today to reflect lasers from Earth, proving their presence.
The claim that the landing was faked started as a conspiracy theory, but no credible evidence supports it. The Apollo program was a major achievement in human history, and the Moon landings remain one of the most well-documented events ever recorded.
