The moon landing represents a monumental achievement in human history.\u00a0However, like many other remarkable achievements, the moon landing has also been at the center of many conspiracy theories, with some arguing that the entire event is a fabrication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such, a video claim implied that during an interview with Buzz Aldrin, he was to say that the landings had never happened and were fake. However, the Fact Crescendo team found that his words were taken out of context and, as a result, misled many users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s look at the claim in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social Media Claim\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

On October 5, 2023, one of the Facebook pages<\/a> posted a news video of an astronaut, Buzz Aldrin, admitting that the moon landing was not real. The above claim has been shared thousands of times by Facebook users. Many have commented and reacted to this video clip as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following is a full video clip that reads: \u201cAstronaut Buzz Aldrin ADMITS He Never Went to The Moon\u2049\ufe0f<\/em>\ud83d\ude80\ud83e\udd2f\ud83d\ude31<\/em> \u203c\ufe0fFor FULL Video Subscribe HERE\u203c\ufe0f<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another viral video found on X (Twitter)<\/a> recently combining clips from three Buzz Aldrin interviews does not show him saying the first moon landing was faked at all; however, many social media users are sharing the video along with a claim that the astronaut Buzz Aldrin has admitted the moon landing did not actually happen and it was faked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The full video clip can be seen here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
