The Moon Landing: Stanley Kubrick's Greatest Film | How NASA and Hollywood Fooled the World

Stanley Kubrick is considered one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. Of his 13 movies a few are considered classics in their respective genres. Including the black comedy Dr. Strangelove, the highly-quotable anti-war commentary of Full Metal Jacket, and one of the most disturbing and enduring horror films of all time, The Shinning.

But in 1968, Kubrick released "2001 – A Space Odyssey". This is more than a classic. It's a masterpiece. And widely regarded as one of the best science-fiction films of all time, and probably the most influential.

This collaboration with science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke tells the story of an alien intelligence that visited Earth in the distant past, and left behind artifacts in the solar system. 

The movie features groundbreaking special effects, which still hold up today.

In fact, the effects looked so good, that the movie gave the American government an idea. 

Billions of tax dollars were invested in the space program but the Soviets were still years ahead of the United States.

NASA desperately needed to get to the moon before Russia, but they knew it was impossible. So they turned to one of the world's best filmmakers for help. Because when it came to the moon: if they couldn't make it, they'd fake it.

The Moon Landing: Stanley Kubrick's Greatest Film | How NASA and Hollywood Fooled the World

Comments

It seems like the CIA sure loves to use car accidents as way to “get rid”of people.

Mike Finn

I’m still with Buzz on this one, they went to the moon many times. My father was a Naval Aviator, if he could not tell the truth he did not talk about it. Those astronauts who went and go into space are doing a very dangerous job. If a solar flare had come at them during the moon missions they would have fried. They knew this and still went.

David Leatherman

Exactly. And just how would that have worked out for the elites if they were proven in an instant to be not so elite. In other words, something with verifiable artifacts or current function, which obliterates all the constructs of global power structures because of far superior technology. Their power on their earth would evaporate instantly and they would lose the mind and heart of 8.8 billion slaves. They will NEVER let that happen and be shown impotent.

JohnZ65

Not hard at all when you’re talking about government to lose things. Hell, the pentagon ‘lost’ 3 trillion dollars. Just poof! Can’t find it. Sorry Congress and American people…🤷🏼

JohnZ65

Interesting and very well produced AJ. Wish my father were still alive today to have watched this. He got tired of debunking the doubters and could have just referred people to this episode. His career started as one of the scientists at JPL in 1951 and he then spent the next 40 years working in aerospace including Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs. Difficult programs absolutely, but not impossible. As to passing through the Van Allen belts, the shielding required to protect occupants as well as extremely sensitive equipment has been around a long time. One of Dad’s projects was the voyager probe and that has been traveling since the 70’s and sending back data. I think these days it’s out past Neptune by now. Still functioning though not sure if still broadcasting. That probe has been surviving extreme radiation for 45 years, including passing through the belts.

JohnZ65

Thank you, AJ and team!! Great work! and another great, interesting episode!

David Parisi

We I want more info on the Van Allen Belt myself. AJ did not say anything about that on his debunking part of the video.

Dennis Douglas

NASA is known for alot of things, cant believe this is one of their popular ones lol...

Sylvia La Chiva

I totally believed the moon landing happened, the as I got a little older and began to realize just how distrustful our government is I rethought my position. Now I am convinced it was a Hollywood production in order to win the Cold War. So many things just don’t add up. How do you lose the technology?

Rob Weicht

I don't know. I mean the 'astronauts’ have a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. An honor only bestowed upon ‘actors’. Just sayin’

Danny Mason Keener

Please do an episode on Karl Wolfe and the moon

Daniel Nye

wow! first of all, watch all the apollo lunar mods when they launch and none show the flames shooting out the bottom and lots of smoke because 1. there is no atmosphere and 2. gravity is 1/6th of earth, how much of a push does it need. I'd probably look that stuff up before just saying 'nope, it's fake!".

Bosco Lemonzit

what moon?

Bosco Lemonzit

No instructions were destroyed. The Saturn V blueprints exist on microfilm at the Marshall Space Flight Center. Regardless, even with those blue prints, we couldn't recreate the Saturn V rocket today because it was a product of a 1960s ecosystem that doesn't exist anymore. Many of the internal workings were created specifically for the Saturn V, but the molds and specialized equipment to create them are gone. The housing facilities where the rockets were built and assembled are also gone, repurposed for the Space Shuttle, and who knows what now. Even some of the off-the-shelf parts from NASA vendors don't exist. Many of the vendors don't exist! An engineer could look at the Saturn V blueprints and he might read (completely made-up language here) insert widget 1455 into assembly housing XYZ. Ok, now what? Where would he get 1960s widget #1455 and assembly housing XYZ in 2023? The answer: He can't. They don't exist. They'd have to be recreated again, but no one would want to recreate 1960s rocket technology in the 21st Century. An engineer couldn't simply swap out a 1960s part with a 2020s part because that would change everything from the weighting of the rocket, but all the interconnections and other contingencies. That's why new moon rockets are being built today with a 2020's ecosystem. So there can be two truths here--Truth 1: The blueprints weren't lost or destroyed; Truth 2: we also can't replicate the Saturn V in the 2020s without recreating the 1960s ecosystem that built the Saturn V.

MikeD

That was great! In answer to your later question, AJ - YES, please do an episode exploring the things that have been seen on the far side of the moon!!

Val Andrews

First you showed us shadows at 90 degrees, and then you explain those away by lines converging in the distance. Not. Then there's the pic where the astronaut was edited in without a shadow, and you explain that by lines converging in the distance. Not. Then you show how something was edited in over the cross marks on the film. Your explanation of that? Crickets. Then you show the Lander lifting off the Moon without any rocket thrusters. Your explanation of that? Crickets. Then, after extensive proof that they couldn't have gone through the Van Allen Belt, including multiple on-camera admissions by NASA, you just brush it off with no explanation at all. Why are you doing this? Who is paying you to keep the cover-up going? I guess you already let us know on that episode where you admitted you could be a CIA plant yourself. Too bad. It the money really worth your Soul?

Eli Dumitru

I like that theory

Insolentgenie

That was the rollercoaster ride I went on between 1998 and 2011 bundled into 47mins. I seriously believed and was excited to believe they didn't go, and eventually conceded that they did go. Awesome video, absolutely brilliant.

William Matthews

Is it safe to assume that those of you who are convinced we didn't land on the moon therefore have no interest in the follow-up episode about what the astronauts found there, since they were never there?

MikeD

Asking us if we want another episode about structures on the moon that NASA is lying about and hiding, is like Gal Gadot, Shakira, Megan Fox, Mila Kunis and Scarlett Johansson asking me if I would like to wear a blanket made of all of them naked, in a Red Roof Inn for the weekend…. Yes. I think I would like that…

John Hobart

Is it possible that the video & picture were fake BECAUSE of what they found on the moon? Making both theories possible.

Eloy Flores

Awesome episode. Wish we knew the truth.

Don Stewart

Great show

Krissy Lee

Of course it just reattached at 10000 feet Love it !!

Deborah

...they went...the land for sure...what they found is another story...and you can see that in the press conference afterwards...three astronauts...the best of the very best, and in tow hours of QA with the press...no joy..no smile...no sense of the greatest achievement of all time! they were like...oh...man I have... want so much to tell you...BUT I CAN'T. sorry dudes...I'm censored...

Andy Mavridis

Of COURSE we want to know more! If this were Starship Troopers, I would be pressing the button that says so!! Great episode as usual! Wonder what H-Fish thinks now.... 😂

Jackson

we did landed on the moon FACT, Its what they found on the moon thats what they have lied about ,oh come on do you NASA would spent tens of million and make simple mistake,.

Andrew Key

AJ just ran in my room and popped my brand new blow up sexy time doll and ran out with his 🖕🏽🖕🏽up in the air by debunking the story, and then debunking the debunking with more debunkering…

John Hobart

Muh huh…. 😏 …. Definitely some shady shit going on.

Mischa Aponte

Bravo! Love the Atl Braves cameo too! ;)

Ryan Lorber

Please make that episode.

Christopher Gilbert

I want to see more moon stuff. Dark Side base!!! Please.

Jason McCue

Yes moon episode please

The Original Jay

Another round of applause on your talent to bring fourth the doubted and render it questionable to non-believers...I agree with comments seen here though regarding the atmospheric radiation and challenges to bypass. That needs to be addressed in order to truly debunk the myth, because that is where science explains the true possibility or lack thereof. Looking at old space photos and picking out the oddities is equivalent to Where's Waldo books. But perhaps that was your master plan. Give enough to discredit but leave enough to plant the seed of questioning. Either way, you never cease to make nerdlife fun and interesting.

AMTRA

This was a real fun one! Also, Hecklefish was all kinds of perfectly adorable in this episode.

Michael Monroe

Such a great show! I would love to see an episode about the secrets of the moon.

Phillip Antony Eisenberg

Wow!! I love this one!! CJ has hit it out of the park today!! And one of the coolest things about this episode and a few of the previous is the use of a MOOG synthesizer (at least, i'm pretty sure it is a MOOG.....please, tell me what it is if I'm wrong.....a MOOG just has a very particular sound, and.the one on this episode has that very particular sound.....c'mon Why-Filers, don't be shy, tell me what you think!)

Warren Clark

And we can prove it... please make that episode!!!

William Rigby

Awesome! I love Stanley Kubrick movies, this was a fun topic. Would love to see a "What did we find on the moon?" episode!

Dylan Kurbel

100% want to know more about the moon basses and an explanation of the Van Allen Belt!!

Juan Pablo Firrincieli

Also loved the episode and hope you don't get demonetized. I would also have like to know how we beat the radiation belt, because we obviously have--the ISS is outside that area, and the probes we sent out, as well as the Hubble, made it through. I hope you get amazing numbers tonight team. Best channel on YouTube!

Scott Clark

Excellent episode!! Cant wait to see if you air it uncut. Admire your cajones. Keep it up!! 🙌🏼👏🏼🤘

Linda Moehlman

Great video! I would have liked an explanation for the radiation belt though. If the radiation melts electronics and we couldn't lead line the rocket, what did we do?

Razingorange

Just watched it a second time, I love the Moon stuff, More moon stuff please. Awesome work!!

Damian Cooper

100% want to know more about the moon basses and an explanation of the Van Alan Belts as it pertains to the moon landings and leaving the Earth!

h0tline.actual

Karl Wolf video please

Yokai

This is the overriding question and the whole point of it...and if so...without lead protection which also would melt??

Juergen Wolfgang Gunther

I believe that at least some stills and filming are being made in a studio to beef everything up...but I'am 50/50 about the landing...yes but no but well...?

Juergen Wolfgang Gunther

I believe the moon landing was faked. But even more so I believe Neal Armstrong was such a perfectionist, he had everyone film on location.

Jim Jim

Annunaki, What's on the moon, Lizzad Peeple, I need these topics on an upcoming WF.

Nicholas Ross

I would love to learn more about the moon

Everly❤️

Moon Moon Moon...whos on it, and what the hell are they doing?

Duce

That ending cliffhanger "of whats been up there has been there for a long time and we can prove it" hurt so much, please please do a part 2, or at least point us Patreon members in the direction to find this answer for ourselves.

MS

I would love to hear more about the moon

Schmada100

Great timing for this video. Today is the anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

Paula Pyburn

or if we didnt get there, did russia? was that a lie also?

Mary Jo Doering

or the buzz aldron interview where he admitted to the lie

Mary Jo Doering

I liked this one a ton, but in the end you did not address the radiation belt. did we or didn't we get through that?

Mary Jo Doering

Isn’t Maple Street where the Martians were controlling the lights and everybody went crazy? Loved that story. 😊

louladylala

The absolute best episode so far! Ooo man I was pulled in at the beginning, ripped out at then end, and then rocketed off on another path! Wooo! Great, great job!

Sendrius Telt

silly rabbit- Of course we want more info- especially about buildings on the moon!!

Rishi

Yes, take us to the moon’s secret inhabitants. Great job!

Wenz

As an artist and photographer, I can say that a lot, if not all, of the conspiracy theories based on the shadows, or lack there of, can be explained away. Deeeebunk! 🤣

Fizzgig

Oooo yes! Moon bases please!!

Fizzgig

Agreed. Great episode.

Mark Denney

Amazing work!!

GIFT REVOLVER

Still not sure why we cannot go back. Is the explanation really we destroyed the instructions? Seems 🐟 y.

Patrick Dunlap

people have been suggesting that for awhile, I just see a picture of the car before and after the accident, knowing in 1966 no 20 something who is angry beyond belief is going to stop and put a seat belt on before peeling off into the night. Look at the car and ask yourself how with no seat-belt did a person survive that impact? How with a seatbelt did a person survive that impact? It's like that one thing that keeps me from totally writing off the idea

Bosco Lemonzit

Why did Welcome to Maple Street just pop into my head.....

Bosco Lemonzit

I'm with HeckleFish.. the 70s definitely had "nice beaver".. 🦫🔥❤🙏🎖

Mark R

That was a wild ride, one of the best episodes! And like usual, all roads lead to 👽 🛸.....

Laura Lamantia

Were you?

Jeremy Dabbs

Definitely getting demonitized on YouTube! 😂

Laura Lamantia

Please create a show for what's on the moon:)

Petrina B

Good one! More moon, please!

Vivian Tenuta

Very interesting ! You have to cover the moon structures now asap, it's the law ! ^^

Simon

Is it a Hecklefish?

ed pluck

Yes, would like to see your take on the structures located on the moon.

Ed Walker

Yes! More about the moon, please and thank you

cassandra staples

There's someone on the moon! Some...THING!

Benjamin Doyle

Nice one.

BROKOR

Art Bell had a show about this years ago. One thing that struck me is that NASA said the film was specifically designed to withstand radiation. Art had the owner of the company on who said they did nothing other than produce normal film and supply it. He always assumed that NASA had did something to protect the film.

Tom Jones

It's hard to believe criminals lie? Government is the most successful criminal enterprise ever. Read the Most Dangerous Superstition.

DonnieDarko27

They never went and were threatened to lie. That's why. Would you be happy to lie to the world?

DonnieDarko27

You get angry being shown the truth and that governments lie to their tax slaves? Strange emotional response....

DonnieDarko27

I want to know more about why they think we can’t go back through the radiation if we went to the moon already. I believe we went, and if structures on the moon are preventing us, I’d think we’d want to explore that more, not NOT go… 😅

Jeremy Shorter

Shhhh

DonnieDarko27

Possibly yes. AJ leaves out all the astronauts murdered who wouldn't stay quiet.

DonnieDarko27

We're you there, in person, to see them land?

DonnieDarko27

We faked it to: 1. Launder money. 2. The tax cattle were losing faith in government due the Vietnam War and needed more brainwashing. No humans have been back since or past low orbit. After the first transatlantic flight or boat crossing, did no one else complete it? Or, do you see planes now daily doing it? Ask yourself how we had better tech 50 years ago than today AND made it to the moon on the FIRST ATTEMPT?

DonnieDarko27

This episode was pure magic. Kubrick level magic! Please do a follow up on what was found on the moon!!!

Autumn Spredemann

How did they get through the Van Allen belts TWICE with no ill effects?

DonnieDarko27

Don't be fooled, it never happened as advertised. Same with OKC, 911, etc. Government is not here to help you. We are just free range tax cattle

DonnieDarko27

Conveniently, not debunked

DonnieDarko27

I think you think governments exist to benefit the tax cattle. They don't. It's one big club. Mafia bosses all get along at the top. Government is the most successful criminal enterprise ever. Deals were made. China teaches their students we never went.

DonnieDarko27

They'll never show the tax cattle

DonnieDarko27

He didn't turn anything around. No debunking of the Van Allen belts, no debunking of the lack of fuel, no debunking of the faking of the halfway to the moon shot. No debunking of the fact no humans have been back since or past low orbit. If they went, it wasn't with public technology. After the first transatlantic flight, did no one else complete it? Or do planes cross everyday? You have a right to be depressed

DonnieDarko27

Hopefully you come to grips and accept your holy government lied to you. Adult thing to do.

DonnieDarko27

You're thinking to much. You're government overlords don't like that

DonnieDarko27

Conveniently "glossed over." Many other damning points as well. Lack of fuel, no humans have been back since or low orbit, etc. Can't have technology better in the past than the future.

DonnieDarko27

Conveniently "forgotten."

DonnieDarko27

Why haven't humans left low orbit in 50 years? Why send mannequins? Why the constant delays?

DonnieDarko27

AJ conveniently did not address that and more damning evidence. Cherry picked debunking. Maybe fear for his life?

DonnieDarko27

I think you misunderstand governments. Did all the mafias constantly kill each other or did all the bosses basically get along and stick to their territory? Government is the largest criminal enterprise ever. We are just free range tax cattle on a tax plantation. Never heard of blackmail and extortion?

DonnieDarko27

No debunking of the Van Allen belts? No debunking of the lack of fuel to get there? No debunking of no other nation doing it since? No debunking of having worse tech 50 years later? No debunking of the faking being halfway to the moon? No debunking of the mysterious deaths of Gus Grissom and other astronauts?

DonnieDarko27

On British TV I heard 2 interesting reason to believe the moon landing is real. Stephen Fry said: number 1, several Earth observatory telescopes saw the astronauts at the time: and number 2, the Russians, who wanted to be the first, have never denied the US moonlanding. If it were faked, wouldn’t they be the first to shame the US?

Steve Stone

Thank you. I wondered why it wasn’t addressed. Looks like a non issue

Steve Stone

Humans have not left earth orbit since the moon "landings." They just sent mannequins around the moon. Space travel is a big monet laundering operation. Always behind schedule, excuses, etc.

DonnieDarko27

Sounds like you're a bootlicker for evil government. Not a good look

DonnieDarko27

What about all the astronauts murdered who wouldn't keep the secret?

DonnieDarko27

https://youtu.be/NEwMM0REZJQ Found this interesting regarding Van Alllen Belt

ed pluck

Great episode. Yes, please cover the structures on the moon.

Scott Wohler

Anunnaki episode please

lisa hr

Oh, and please do a follow-up episode on what they actually found on the moon!!

BCabada

Definitely one of your best episodes, AJ! Loved it!

BCabada

🐡🐟

lisa hr

The best to date from AJ and Da Fish!

Armando Mistral

Wow!! Best episode yet! And you can’t leave us hanging with what they found on the moon!!

Ryan Gallant

I am wondering that too... a part of me wants to know and thinks we fundamentally deserve to know the truth... another part of me fears that the aftermath of the truth (even partial) about what's happening there might open a door to new existential and ontological concerns, which might be very hard to live with. It's like asking your unfaithful girl(boy)friend how (s)he cheated on you, but raised at a cosmological level. :) So many people were killed to prevent this "knowledge" from being disclosed. That must be huge. I always think that at this point any possible scenarios including the ones that defy comprehension have to be considered, like for example non-disclosure agreements with this involved species to protect the survival of humans on Earth... that's at least what Lu Elizondo seems to half-say somehow in his recent interviews. Is he right? is it a psy op? (as AJ suspects btw) I personally can't say... but that must be huge.

SebastienP

Goddamn that was a great episode!

David Velez

Great episode! I’m definitely interested in an episode about what’s on the moon. I still wonder about the radiation belt though. Buzz has lived a long life.

RKJfishing

Yes! I want more about the moon. You covered a lot I didn't know about just in this episode! Can't believe there is more!!

Steven

Outstanding episode… and yes we need to see one on what is on the dark side of the moon

Patch

Hecklefish must be so happy.

Omar

Oh and +1,000,000 vote for what’s on the other side of the moon.

Sammy the Ditch Doctor

Nicely done AJ & Family. Don’t ride in a convertible for a while. Especially in Texas. 😁

Sammy the Ditch Doctor

Oh and YES I WANT TO KNOW WHATS ON THE MOON!

Karl poff

ARE YOU FKIN KIDDING!?? YES WE WANT THE FULL EPISODE OF THE THINGS ON THE MOON!!!!!! you HAVE to rip apart those lying puke bags at NASA once and for all. They need to be exposed and the public deserves to see all of what they have covered up, since we are paying for their bullsht!! Yes. Please torch the piss out of nasa with that moon episode 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

John Hobart

Freaking awesome show but how did we get through the van Allen radiation belt?

Karl poff

BRAVO AJ and entire Why Files Force!!! 🙌🫶🫵🙏

Leticia Barraza

Fantastic episode! Absolutely loved this!

Drew Lane

Notice how all 3 were also very fidgety with their pens in an identical fashion and the guy on the far end chipping in like a school boy protecting his friend.

Ben Dover-Nimmo

Best episode yet! Im a huge space nerd and this just made my day! Definitely need a follow-up about what's on the Moon's surface. Side note- thanks for alphabetizing the Patreon list. Finally found my name lol.

Jason Kissling

What about the Van Allen radiation belt??? That wasn't debunked!!!

Joel McCune

Yes Yes Yes Far side of the moon!!! The way the astronauts spoke during the press conference.. they looked freaked out!!

Daniel Hinshaw

Absolutely, I would like the follow up video on what's up there on the moon! Great video as usual!!!

Cleave Bourbon

What about the Van Allen radiation belt though? And the NASA scientists saying that we still don’t have the technology to bypass that part of space? If those things are still true, how could we or Soviet astronauts land on the moon in the 60’s?

Andrea Gonzalez

Such a great episode!! Would love more stories about the moon.

Jamie

Please have a part 2. I would love it.

Deirdre a greene

We want to know what on the 🌙 moon

Eliana Brown

That is a No way OJ, there. The radiation is just as bad or worse then what Chernobyl incident caused. The men who went lived a long, happy and healthy life. The stuff on the moon we supposedly put there could have been added much later by robots. There's so many ways to fake it, Kubrick didn't need to help.

John Seychel

This is one of many great arguments of our time. But we did not go to the moon because we still can't figure out how to get living matter to the other side of the Van Allen Belts. What convinces me most about it, is the men that went lived long happy healthy lives after returning, not like anyone who was exposed to The Russian Nuclear event, Chernobyl, where everyone exposed lived a much shorter and very ill life prior dying. When I say everyone exposed to the Chernobyl indecent died a horrible death. Even the people who lived and worked there and was home when it happened died a miserable death. My dad got us a brand new color TV, in 1969, he said he got for my 4th birthday in late June, at least it was the excuse he used because my mother wouldn't stop screaming for spending money we didn't have. I was a 4 year old astronaut enthusiast, I made my helmet and used my moms white dress gloves, and my friends and their parent came over to watch the Apollo 11 launch. My dad who was a major in the Army Corp of Engineers, mentioned that the Van Allen Belt, not sure what he was speaking of, but in years to come and many more Apollo launches, I learned how to read and I went to the city library with my dad a lot to fix the heating and cooling system during closed hours, and I read books, nothing else to do there. There wasn't a lot of VAB science studies because NASA refused to release the study to the public. NASA stands for "Never A Strait Answer", and they prove it all the time, everything coming from NASA is censored, just like most government news today, and nothing has changed. Serious minded only answer please: I am going to ask you, now knowing about the danger of the Van Allen Belts, if you got the chance to go to the moon would you go? Knowing even if you do make it you will suffer similar effects of the Chernobyl victims, and die a horrible tragic death, and treated like hazardous waste material where you can't even be in a grave yard, and ashes have to be sealed in a lead urn???

John Seychel

Yes, we want to know what is on the far side of the moon.

Alicia Lane

Here's a story idea.... What was the deal with the "Paul is dead" campaign back in the 60s? Now Paul is not only not dead, he has produced "the last Beatles song" using an old session tape and AI. I never have heard a good history of that episode.

Davey_D

I definitely want you to do a follow up on what's on the far side of the moon!

Kathy Berken

This was great! Ironically just before I watched this, I finally got around to watching the PBS documentary from March on the Apollo 11 moon landing.

Kathy Berken

I know, right? Does he really expect hundreds of us to say " no more moon stories, enough already!" or something?

Bosco Lemonzit

I'd like for them to do a show on Pink Floyd music too, hidden meanings, etc

Bosco Lemonzit

It’s sometimes a little weird to see younger folks’ takes on certain historical events. This stirs up a lot of memories for me, such as actually being able to see Sputnik in the sky on one occasion when I was a kid. It was a rare amazing event and the whole neighborhood was out in the street watching and pointing. I’d not thought of that for a long time. Wonderful video, beautifully done. Thank you! Hugs to Hecklefish!

louladylala

Great episode. Definitely want to see one about moon bases.

SGW4K

I really would love to see an episode of what's really on the move. I think Ingo Swan was right. Great episode. I was starting to feel depressed until you turned things around. Phew! That was a relief.

Kazren

Let's see if the ESA ever releases the dosemitry data publicly from Artemis 1 mission. Check out the comments where they kind of say they won't. https://blogs.esa.int/orion/2023/01/20/first-radiation-checks-on-female-phantoms-after-moon-ride/

John McGuire

That was definitely one of the best videos ever. Please, please, please, create an episode about the base they found. Thanks for all you do!

Jennifer Hope

Yes please! I want to hear more. Hecklefish we landed on the moon. Do you really believe Russia would have let us get away with a hoax?

Jack Bogan

Absolutely do a follow up episode!

Jason Allison

Of course we want to see what's on the moon, yay another video! Another great episode of course, thank you AJ, Jen, Victoria, Gino and Hecklefish! 😊

Helle

Definitely follow up with what's on the moon please! 🌙 🌝🌚

Mellie

I have always believed...I want to believe...but this is my biggest question now

Kalea Niskala

If it’s “probably” how did they get through the van Allen belts?

Linsey And Rob Clarke

Follow up please!!!!

Mark and Debbie Peyron

Awesome episode!...my step moms 18th birthday was July 20 1969 so I was raised with the moon landing as an amazing thing...I was happy hearing most of the end of the episode...but I do still have questions about the Vanallen belt

Kalea Niskala

Fantastic video! Have always been weirded-out by the demeanor of the astronauts upon their return. Any info on that?

Pencilstash

Say what is on the moon. No more suggesting.

Christopher Troksa

As always another great episode, thanks for all the effort and even-handed reporting. I'd love to see your take on the objects/buildings on the moon. The movies on that topic were very interesting but, of course, were presented from a single biased perspective. Love my Hecklefish for President tee-shirt. j

Jack Field

I’d love to see an episode on why we didn’t return to the moon. Enjoyed this one thanks 🙏

Jason Smith

SMACK me with a conspiracy I don't believe, make me believe it, reaffirm my knowledge, and then HIT me with another topic that has me jumping in my seat with anticipation. EXCELLENT!

Fane Reian

The mature adult in me thinks once again another great episode... The immature teenager in me can't help but hearing NICE BEEVAH NICE BEEEVAH...over and over in my head... 🤣

Matthew Mozdziak

Do an episode about the moon structures PLEASE.

Robert Harry

Great episode. I never understood the argument. We faked the moon landing because Russia was beating us. We had to fake it because people cant get pass the radiation. So how was Russia going?

Laura May

This was a good one. I’ve always known we went to the moon, but you had me questioning there for a second. Would love to see the follow up.

Jeremy Dabbs

Truly excellent as always and brilliantly presented! And yes, I would love to see you (and Hecklefish) cover the Dark Side of the Moon (and I'm not talkin' Pink Floyd here — just sayin'). Cheers!

thormusique

Good show I say chaps 🧐 I was almost a believer. More on the subject please!

Frasure

I believe all the moon video we were fed is total BS. I do believe they did go to the moon but with secrete/classified advanced technology we are not be told

Lawrence Mantin

Did he not die some time in advance of his scheduled sworn testimony before Congress? Or...?

Will Johns

I have the same question, or mised that part when he debunked the Van Allen belt.

Brian

The Why Files knocks it out of the park again! Fantastic presentation…as always!

Klaus Jürgen

AJ, if you don’t stop asking me if I wanna see the coolest episode yet—I’m outta here. OF COURSE I WANT TO KNOW WHAT WE FOUND UP THERE!! I’ll Venmo you a hundred bucks, DM me.

YourBuddyGuy

Yay I love a great conspiracy

Kellyeve Hammond

Great Episode. An episode on what was found on the moon would be great!

Thomas G Richey

gah, I never cared to weigh in on this one. now I'm 🤔

Lachesis Ember

When I was into astronomy in the 80's/90's when zooming in on the surface of the moon we used to see craft flying above the surface. Some even transited between dark and light and vice versa.

Bryan Scott Hardie

Another banger of an episode AJ and crew!

Bryan Scott Hardie

I am so saddened by this revealation. It is worse than no Santa Clause.Sooo many deaths.

Deirdre a greene

Would love to see an episode about what was found on the moon

Ashley Grace

Totally want to see the sequel about what NASA is hiding on the dark side of the moon!!! Yes, Please!!! Love this episode! Thank you!

DonnaG

If they came up with some announcement about buildings on the moon and all that kind of stuff and admitting it; I’m gonna be wondering what the hell are they trying to distract us from

Bosco Lemonzit

From a viewer’s standpoint, 35-45 minutes is probably best, more detail and more hecklefish. Of course, from your standpoint, that’s twice the work.

Bosco Lemonzit

Was that duct tape stuck to foot of the lem holding the foil in place ?

Deborah

Yooo LEGGOOOOOO - early episode!!! 🔥🔥🔥 thanks for all the hard work AJ, hecklefish and team 🙏🙏

Chris Conlan

I thought there is already an episode about moon bases….

james lennox

Great show, Since I love NASA, I was getting angry at you at you for at bit but i know always follow through at the end with Facts and yes there they were, WE went to the moon and there was someone there!

John Edgeworth

Please do an episode about the bases on the moon! This is fascinating!

Tamara Longman

Please do the second moon video. The astronauts looked very very uncomfortable in their press conference. One would say even petrified. What did they see?

Gavin Evans

I'm really liking these longer episodes

Ryan Downing

Wolf didn't die until 2018, so something like 17 years after he made that statement.

Susan H

Great case for fake moon landing. Too many things don't add up. It is hard to believe that we have been duped. But I'm convinced we were.

J Thor

Great episode. Definitely want a follow up. Still do not believe we went to the moon.

Melissa Taylor

*Go to YouTube “Bruce Sees All” There you can see all the crazy structures, Previous and current activity and even Vehicles arriving & leaving still happening on the moon Gr8 Episode Why Files!!*

Chip Snyder (chiphappened)

Brilliant!! Loved it AJ 🙏.

Deborah

I’m in it for a nice beevah shirt! Black disco pose silhouette and “nice beevah” in sparkle letters 🕺🦫

NorthwoodsJen

I really, really want to see an episode about bases on the moon. AMAZING episode everyone! The editing, specifically the video clips you used had me on the edge of my seat. As always, the small things you do with sound effects and background music wrap the story up neatly with a bow. Much love and awesome job!

Sibyle

They went via a path where it wasn’t as strong and during a time with less solar radiation. To this day, there are many factors which determine when we launch spacecraft outside our orbit, radiation being one. I don’t buy that we lost technology, but we can clearly see with the cost of the Orion rocket how expensive it is to make a similar craft today.

Hank Perry

lol... That was my exact thoughts when I was watching the video.

Nikki G_0

The cover-up by NASA of infrastructures on the moon must be a part of the upcoming disclosure act. Please please make this episode, and possibly investigate the reason why they do this. Are they simply afraid of a worldwide panic, or is there more profound reasons? Great episode by the way... as always!

SebastienP

Great video as always. You had me 100% convinced the moon landing was fake. I still have questions on how we got through the Van Allen Radiation belt. And NEED to know what they found/are covering up now.

Matt Hyer

Thanks for the explanation, MikeD.

Nikki G_0

I was waiting for that too. Maybe it ties into the structures on the moon video and he could be saving it for that. But i too found it odd that it wasn’t touched in the debunking segment.

El Rey

AJ how are you gonna leave us hangin’ like that? Of course I wanna see you folks make that video! We need the follow up!

El Rey

Excellent video! Thanks for all your hard work! Would definitely love to see more videos on the moon.

Adam Hardenburgh

Also, search the internet for "mars arctic lemming" Nasa has definitely been up to some shady stuff.

Insolentgenie

Great job as always - I vote for Annunaki and Hidden things on the Moon!

Mister Larson

AJ, you never got into the Van Allen belt when you were doing the debunking portion of the episode. Can people actually make it through the belt with 1969 and current technology? And YES. Do an episode on possible objects/structures on the moon.

Insolentgenie

I absolutely want the next moon video! This one was so good. My son and I have been discussing the different theories for 20 years. He is an astrophysicist, so the discussions get lively.

pamb9251

I didn't notice (or I missed) if he addressed that in the video. Working my own memory from decades back. They plotted a course around the deepest portions the Van Allen Belt, greatly limiting exposure, plus all forms of radiation are not equal. The command module also had insulation specifically designed for the type of radiation they encountered. Overall, the astronauts were exposed to a lower dose of radiation than we'd get during the course of a normal year with dental x-rays.

MikeD

#nicebeaver is the alternate Canadian national anthem… a great strong and proud majestic animal.

John Haylock

Great presentation, but the Van Allen belt was and is a serious issue. Did one of the Russians get fried by it? Thought I heard something about it but a long time ago. Never the less “we don’t know how to duplicate what we did” was strange at best. And there was more to the Buzz interview with the child that was even stranger. But enjoyed your spin on it and debunking the other points.

W

That was awesome! Please give us the follow up episode 🙏 Oh, and "Nice Beaver" was a hit here in Australia as well 🤣

Colin Butterworth

really, he debunks the entire thing, except left out that little pesky impossibility that prevents it from happening? That was a big question about apollo 13 and them being in the lunar mod on the return trip and went thru the radiation belt in the mod and how did they not get fried

Bosco Lemonzit

Fantastic episode thank you A.J. And the rest of the team. #NICEBEAVER guess we all know what the giveaway in the afterfiles word will be.

John Haylock

Great job, one of the best!

Bosco Lemonzit

Oh I would definitely love to see an epi on what is actually on the moon :)

Vicky Humphrey

Whew!

Bosco Lemonzit

Aghhhh! As usual, you do a great episode and then tease us with a potentially even better episode! Give us the bases on the moon episode!

Chase Schleich

Great episode again AJ, but unless I missed something, I notice you didn't explain how they got through the Van Allen belt unscathed. That part makes no sense. How could we have done it then, but not now. And mind you, I'm not a fake moon landing conspiracy person, at all. I had never looked into it, so all the stuff in your video was new to me. You did a good job of debunking 95% of the conspiracy, but that last 5% is still getting my gears spinning.

Nikki G_0

Great! I am relieved with your punchline- more please Aj!

Julia Fox

It's just one man's opinion, but this particular episode was a disappointment. Can't wait for the episode on 5G causing cancer, or vaccines causing autism, or Democrats in US drinking children's blood. /s While I understand your format, and seeing how the debunking at the end may be useful for some, I feel your talent is best used in researching topics not this thoroughly debunked already. To be clear, every other episode so far has been A+. Please do keep up the great work.

Ivari Tölp

I would think that would be an easy study to conduct. It wouldn't shock me though if there was some increased health risks. That said, Buzz is 93, Michael Collins just passed a couple years back at 90. That's well past normal life expectancy. Unfortunately, we'll all be exposed to increasing cancer rates if we're fortunate enough to live longer.

MikeD

you know, if I get to the end of this and find out the moon landing was faked all this time I’m gonna be really pissed

Bosco Lemonzit

The storytelling is just so incredibly good.

Joseph Konrath

I want to know what’s up there. Pretty please 🙏🏼

Linda James

Wow!! You got me 🥱

Linda James

btw AJ, i heard in a couple of places, don't have sources, that all the people that have gotten onto the moon or high orbit have all had long term consequence's like cancer from all the exposure

Mystically

Fantastic job!!! And yes I would like to see an episode on why we haven’t gone back to the moon

Peter Anniko

MORE MOON STUFF !!!!

Gregory Corna

Great episode, Love the Moon landings and travel out of the van allen belts issues, Let's hope NASA can find that notebook on how they did it 😂

Damian Cooper

That ending gave me goosebumps. Another excellent episode.

Dorian Terry

Won't follow it up right away, but it's definitely coming. Most of the research is done. I would have included it here, but the episode would have run over an hour. I'm trying to get these things back down to 20 minutes!

The Why Files

Haha... No. It was Studio 54. Remember, I'm from NYC.

The Why Files

I might lose, but I'll fight it. It's fair use commentary.

The Why Files

Well done. Please do an Episode of what was possibly found on the Moon. Thank you for your work.

Dave Dolle

Brilliant. As always.

Daniel Boucher

I know you probably will not follow this episode with what they found on the moon, but soon ? Also huge fan of listing patreons alphabetically !

Mystically

In the case of the Van Allen Belt, doesn’t that disprove that the Soviets landed on the moon as well? Who made their movies?

Linda James

Outstanding episode, as always! There was a lot in here that I hadn't heard before. Thank you for your continued commitment to excellence!

Daniel F. Lyons

Is Studio 54 also called Club 54? If not, there's still time to fix it AJ! Lol

Chase Schleich

Some conspiracies do need a good debunking. Also, Buzz Aldrin: Hero for walking on the moon; hero for a right cross to a d-bag's face. Don't be surprised if Sibrel tries to get you to remove the snippet of him being punched, claiming it's his video. It gets pulled down for copyright issues regularly, but it was also a news story, so hopefully not an issue post production.

MikeD

first! shit! lost again

Bosco Lemonzit

Wonderful show as always❣️

D J

Now you know we want to know what was said to be on the moon.

MoonDoggy-X

My grandfather never believed that we landed on the moon. He grew up riding horses and wagons to town

Linda James

Absolutely want to see that teased episode idea about what NASA is hiding in the moon!

Matt Rayson

Right on. This should be good. I’ve been doing a lot of research on this lately. Can’t wait!

Audra Neurauter

My good friend Sir HF. If the moon landing was faked, why then do you wear a tinfoil hat? By your "everything is fake" logic, there is nothing out there to steal your mind. Okay, except Lizzid Peeple. They're real 😉

Stella.R

And lets not forget the social underbelly of 1984, A Clockwork Orange. I think Ol Stan definitely had his finger on the pulse

Jody Whitmarsh

Yaaas! I am on such a Kubrick binge right now - thanks AJ! Can’t wait to watch this when I’m home 🙌🏻

SpookiestBecky

Bart Sibrel for more info. Filmed in 1968. Cannon Air Force base in New Mexico.

DonnieDarko27

“MOONGATE”, by William L. Brian the second Ever read it?

Mark william lane

Holy poop! Your doing this one!?!?!?! Can't wait to have time to watch it.

Justin Phillips (gkanks)

YAS! I was literally in Patreon Looking, PRAYING for the new video😁🥰🥰

Bobbie Zarate

Subtle lead to trick the algorithm? I'll pray for TWF team that monetization holds :-)

MikeD

Yessssss!!! Finally another moon episode! Can’t wait to hear Hecklfish’s commentary on this one 😂🌙
