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!

• Independent Verification
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has taken high-definition photos of the Apollo landing sites, capturing the Lunar Module descent stages and the tracks left by the astronauts. This provides independent verification of the landings, as the LRO is a separate spacecraft not involved in the original Apollo missions.
