Truth Behind the Moon Landing

The show has a credibility problem. We are supposed to believe that a former NASA astronaut didn't know that the American and Russian space programs were headed by ex-Nazi rocket engineers.

Melvin, Jenkins and Bara don't REALLY think it's impossible to get through the Van Allen radiation belts. They don't REALLY think NASA had to stage the Moon landing because they couldn't re-engineer the Command Module after the fire. They don't REALLY think the Lunar Module was impossible to control. They just pretend to think these things hoping to make a TV show interesting. Actually, it's not interesting at all, it's painful. In Episode 3 Bara says "I'm calling B.S. on the lunar landing based on Armstrong's inability to control the LLTV." Oh what balderdash. Armstrong's daring bail-out was from the LLRV, not the LLTV. It was caused by a technical fault. Armstrong and all the other Apollo commanders completed many training flights in the LLTV with very significant success. Bara himself, in an essay called "Who Mourns For Apollo?" sang the praises of the LM's inertial navigation and control. He called a conspiracy theorist who questioned the LM's stability "a complete idiot." What does that make him now??

Seeing how much time and effort was wasted to placate an idiot that is just too stupid to understand how telescopes and cameras work. This show is more or less just an indictment of the education system.

I'll admit I do like watching Ancient Aliens. It's a guilty pleasure of mine. Still to call any of the theories or evidence shown on that show legitimate is a stretch. I seem to get the same vibe from this show. In fact I had to turn this show off at about half way through out of frustration. These three "experts" (one of whom is a regular fixture on the aforementioned Ancient Aliens) throw out some of the most absurd pseudo-scientific ideas and recount historic evidence out of context in a weak attempt to lend some credence to their conspiratorial "theories." I also find it strange that an astronaut had never heard of Operation: Paperclip nor knew of it's role in the origins of the US space program.

There have been more in-depth research done into the legitimacy of the moon landing conducted over the last 50-years. I'd recommend you seek those sources out if your interested in the subject. This is just mindless pop-culture popcorn entertainment in the vain of Ancient Aliens. I'd only recommend this series if you just want some noise on in the background while you do other things around your home!

The main character in this series is a guy who makes a living from writing new age nonsense/spiracy fiction books. Expect nothing less than absurd theories based on nothing more than an opinion and a lack of understanding technical issues with a large dose of drama! The media does love to push disinfo and ignorance on the masses...
