Armstrong didn't step foot on the moon. Period. No one has. Yet.
The whole fake moon landing fiasco is one of the only conspiracies I believe in.

This conspiracy has already been disproven.
Yes, we did go to the moon.
No, it wasn't faked.
I was lucky enough to be able to talk with Gene Cernan personally a few years ago and we talked at length. I mentioned the entire conspiracy thing and I know when someone is lying. Gene wasn't lying. He truly was there. But that's just from my own experience talking with the man.
The funniest one is...."There are no stars in the pictures on the moon!"
And that's exactly as it should be. If the astronauts had been on the dark side that wasn't illuminated by sunlight, they
would have seen stars in the photos. What happens when you go outside with your porch light on and you look up? You'll see a few stars faintly. But turn that light off and you'll see 'em all. The light refracting up from the moon's surface makes it absolutely impossible to photograph starlight. It simply gets blinded out.
This isn't a theory. This is scientific and basic physical fact. It's not a secret. So for all of the moon conspiracy theorists who keep banking on this one point...it's utterly and completely ludicrous.
The shadows on the moon fall in different directions than the sunlight is coming from.
That one's right. And it does on Earth as well. If the Earth was completely flat then it
would always cast shadows the same way. Again, go out into your backyard and watch your shadow as you cross it. What happens when you come up on a depression or a hill in the ground?
You don't need a scientists to debunk this one for you. You can try it out for yourself.
And I'm just getting started.........................
