The Apollo Moon Landing: Did they or didn't they? The Sleek Geeks debate!

Dr Karl Kruszelnicki and Adam Spencer
Monday 20 July 2009
Footbridge Theatre
6:00pm – 7:00pm

To mark the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, Sleek Geeks Dr Karl and Adam Spencer will deliver a special presentation to tackle the myths surrounding man's first voyage to the moon.

In 2001, the American Fox TV Network broadcast a program called "Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?" X-Files star Mitch Pileggi hosted this hour-long show, which claimed that NASA had faked the entire Apollo Moon project by filming it in a movie studio. This myth has a small but dedicated following - according to both a 1995 Time Poll and a 1999 Gallup Poll, about 6% of Americans do not believe that 12 astronauts walked on the Moon.

The hoax believers or conspiracy theorists cite all kinds of evidence. Did they or didn't they??

Watch the Sleek Geeks, Dr Karl and Adam Spencer, as they debate each other For & Against the Apollo 11 moon landing.
