Buzz Aldrin during Apollo 11 mission
In my prior story, I noted how MythBusters debunked the claim that the entire Apollo 11 mission was a gigantic hoax.
But some still claim that not only Apollo 11, but all six Apollo moon landings between 1969 and 1972 are nothing but cosmic con jobs. One of their point men, Bart Sibrel, is a wannabe film maker, with a reputation for stalking astronauts.
As a publicity stunt for himself, Sibrel set Aldrin up for an ambush attack of defamatory comments captured by Sibrel's cameraman. He called Aldrin "a coward and a liar and a thief." I guess he thought the elder Aldrin would just give him some good, angry verbiage that Sibrel could edit later.
Instead, Aldrin threw a punch that rocked Sibrel. Sibrel later tried to file charges against Aldrin, but basically got laughed at. Here's the short version of what happened.
A longer version, which contains even more defamatory remarks from Sibrel, was captured from a different angle.
But as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, a video has cropped up claiming that Sibrel cheats in his Apollo imagery. Side by side, frame by frame comparisons of audio and video from Apollo missions show that there is an Apollo hoax, and it's not NASA's.
A little later tonight, we'll hit the exact moment when Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. Aldrin followed a little bit later. If you click on the category phrases or words below, such as Apollo or Apollo 11, you'll find a library of videos and articles I've prepared for your enjoyment on this special day.
