Is there a 'true' story behind the fake Apollo moon landing in 'Fly Me to the Moon?'

Two astronauts in white spacesuits on a soundstage made to look like the moon.

Everybody loves a good old-fashioned conspiracy theory and the granddaddy of them all is the belief that NASA somehow faked the Apollo 11 moon landing on a secret sound stage and that astronauts never really walked on the lunar surface.

Despite an avalanche of evidence and data to the contrary, this wild yarn has been perpetuated for decades. The shaky reasoning behind the Apollo 11 moon landing has been easily debunked one-thousand times by NASA officials, scientists, astrophysicists, engineers, billionaire geniuses, and historians. However, there's still a cabal of hardcore conspiracy theorists who still cling to the idea that it was all a clever ruse orchestrated by Hollywood and NASA to beat the Soviet Union in the Space Race.
