The 59th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing has brought attention to resurfaced clips of Buzz Aldrin, sparking conspiracy theories that the moon landing was faked. In a 2000 interview with Conan O'Brien, Aldrin claimed that no one was taking pictures during the landing, suggesting viewers watched an animation. In a 2015 exchange with an eight-year-old girl, he stated, 'Because we didn’t go there, and that’s the way it happened.' Despite these claims, NASA maintains that the Apollo 11 mission was real, supported by telemetry data and geological samples from the moon.
In a 2000 appearance on the Conan O'Brien Show, Aldrin stunned the audience when the host recalled watching the moon landing as a boy. ‘No, you didn’t,’ Aldrin snapped. ‘There wasn’t any television, there wasn’t anyone taking a picture. You watched an animation.’ The awkward exchange left O’Brien speechless and has since racked up millions of views online.
Then, in 2015, an eight-year-old girl asked the former astronaut why no one has returned to the moon. Aldrin replied: ‘Because we didn’t go there, and that’s the way it happened.’ This statement has sparked renewed interest in conspiracy theories surrounding the moon landing.
