Is the moon landing FAKE?! Alex Stein CONFRONTS NASA engineer

On July 20, 1969, Commander Neil Armstrong and lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to walk on the moon.

Armstrong’s step out of the spaceship and onto the foreign terrain of the moon has gone down in the history books as one of the most important steps mankind has ever taken — but some are skeptical of its validity.

Alex Stein is one of them, so he’s sitting down with a former NASA engineer, Charles Buhler, to get some answers.

“How were we able to go to the moon on these Apollo rockets in the 60s, but now today, we don’t have a rocket that can get there or at least send a man there? What’s that all about? Why is our space technology going backwards?” Stein asks Buhler.

“I think the biggest thing is there’s a couple of reasons for it. You know, 50 years ago, NASA had 10% of the federal budget. Now, we have less than 1% of the federal budget,” Buhler explains.

He also blames the lack of serious competition.

“We don’t have a conventional space race like we did against the Russians in the 1960s,” he says. “Now, we’re relying on companies to do it. NASA is funding a lot of companies to do the space race now, so that’s pretty exciting, if you’re a space enthusiast.”

According to Buhler, Artemis II is a spacecraft that will be sent to orbit the moon with astronauts as early as next year.

“Charles, they always say next year we’re going to send a man to the moon, next year, man on the moon — they’ve been saying that for 50 years,” Stein counters.

When Stein presses Buhler on whether or not the moon landing was faked and if so, why, Charles answers that “obviously” it wasn’t faked.

He cites moon rocks that he has in his lab at NASA as proof of the moon landing being real — but Stein was ready for that one, referencing the moon rock given to a Dutch museum by Neil Armstrong.

The rock was later found to be fake and made of petrified wood.

“And isn’t there moon rocks in Antarctica supposedly?” Stein asks, adding, “So isn’t it possible to get moon rocks on Earth?”

“It is, it truly is,” Buhler says. “We get Mars rocks too on Earth, whenever there’s a meteor collision. That’s possible.”

Flat Earth Dave joins Pat Gray for Conspiracy Theory Friday and reveals some … interesting theories

Pat Gray invites David Weiss, aka Flat Earth Dave, on "Pat Gray Unleashed" to discuss some wild, albeit interesting, hypotheses that Earth is (contrary to popular belief) flat.

In this segment, Dave focuses on circumnavigation — that is, to travel all the way around a continent, island, astronomical body, or in this particular case, the globe.

Pat brings up Ferdinand Magellan, a Portuguese explorer from the 15th century, who is credited with being the first to circumnavigate the earth.

Dave, however, claims that’s false information. According to the flat earth theory, one can only circumnavigate the earth from east to west and vice versa, as Amelia Earhart did in the 1930s.

Assuming the earth is flat, it would be impossible to “go south and pop up [on the other side]” of the earth, he explains.

This would be possible on a globe though.

But here’s where Dave throws the flag.

Nobody has ever successfully circumnavigated the globe from one pole to the other, ending their journey where it began, he argues.

Ferdinand Megellan supposedly didn’t do it, and neither did a ZQ pilot by the name of Bill Harrelson, who set out to circumnavigate the earth via a route that passes over both the north and south poles back in 2014.

Dave displays a graphic of Harrelson’s route, which began in the north and stopped in Alaska, California, and Chile, among other destinations. But as soon as the pilot turned toward the South Pole, he was told the weather conditions were dangerous and was instructed to head back up through Brazil.

“He didn’t do it,” Dave says.

“Guess what? Guinness book gave him the world record for south-north circumnavigation,” he continues in disbelief.

Dave then attempts to debunk everything we’ve been taught about Antarctica itself and explain why he thinks we’ve been lied to for all these years.
