On July 20th, 1969, the Apollo 11 with astronaut Neil Armstrong and his crew, guided by thousands of NASA technicians, supposedly landed on the surface of the moon. It was certainly one of the most extraordinary events accomplished by mankind up to that date. Neil Armstrong’s first words upon stepping on the moon surface will always be remembered “ A small step for mankind, a giant leap for humanity”. Ever since then, this achievement has been a matter of discussion by several groups that either believed or disbelieved this. There are people who believe that the entire moon landing was “ The greatest government conspiracy of all time”. But the question is; why would they do that?

This evidence isn’t too reliable as it has a clear explanation as to where the camera was. The final source of evidence is an image of Buzz Aldrin’s footprint for the studying of the moon properties. The astronauts ' prints are a bit too clear and could’ve only been made in wet sand. ‘That 's nonsense’, said Bad Astronomy’s Plait. Moondust, or regolith, is "like a finely ground powder. When you look at it under a microscope, it almost looks like volcanic ash. So when you step on it, it can compress very easily into the shape of a
