The Apollo 11 astronauts, after spending a week in super tight close quarters on the spacecraft, were quarantined into a little capsule upon arrival back on earth. Travelled by ship in the capsule. Then the capsule got loaded onto an airplane, which was flown back to Cape Canaveral, where they had a slightly larger enclosed capsule to live in (separated from family except through a window) for another couple weeks.

Then, and only then, were they released and paraded out for the news conference with a huge crowd and hundreds of cameras.

Now ask yourself, what kind of mood and mental state would you be in after all that?

I'm not saying there wasn't some shady shit going down. Maybe they saw something on the moon, or maybe there was something they were prevented from talking about. But it is important to view this event in the proper context.

This should have been their moment of glory before finally getting to go home to their families. They had allegedly just accomplished the greatest feat in human history yet they look like the cat that swallowed the canary. Shameful frauds.

Look at Neil’s face when Collins says he doesn’t remember seeing any stars. That guy allegedly orbited the moon in the command module a dozen times while Buzz and Neil were hopping around like dopes. With that many passes through 5e dark side of the moon he didn’t see any stars?

But in his book he later described the beautiful starry sky he saw. What a dumbass, he really blew it. They all really blew it.

The fact that Neil Armstrong doesn't clearly remember if the stars were visible or not from the Moon should be all you need to see past the obvious bullshit of "mankind's greatest achievement". It's no coincidence Armstrong became a fucking recluse after the event. Perpetuating such a lie must be absolutely soul crushing. Hell, I get anxiety and question my existence if I cheat in a game of Monopoly.

There’s just no good excuse for their demeanor. If they are so unflappable as to be as cool as cucumbers, casually talking like buddies on a fishing trip the entire time while on the moon, in a constant state of mortal peril, then they shouldn’t look like nervous nellies on the witness stand during this press conferences. But they look like they’d rather be anywhere but here.

I watched this old news conference, and it was clear.....someone read these 3 astronauts the "riot act" before this interview.
