Buzz Aldrin, famous for walking on the Moon, punches a conspiracy theorist who falsely claims he faked the Moon landing.
Buzz Aldrin is one of the most famous astronauts in history. He was part of the Apollo 11 mission, which landed on the Moon in 1969.
Aldrin, along with Neil Armstrong, became one of the first humans to walk on the lunar surface.
Despite this historic achievement, some people still believe that the Moon landing was fake.
One of the most vocal critics of the Apollo 11 mission is a filmmaker named Bart Sibrel.
The background of the Moon landing
The Apollo 11 mission was a significant event in human history.
On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon.
They spent several hours exploring the surface and collecting samples. This mission showed the world what humans could achieve with science and technology.
However, since then, many conspiracy theories have emerged.
Some people claim that the landing was staged and that NASA faked the entire event.
They believed the government wanted to win the Space Race against the Soviet Union.
To achieve this, they created a false story about landing on the Moon.
Conspiracy theorist Bart Sibrel accused Buzz Aldrin of faking the Moon landing
Bart Sibrel is a filmmaker who has made it his mission to prove that the Moon landing was not real.
He constantly questions Aldrin and other Apollo astronauts about their experiences.
Sibrel believes he has evidence to support his claims.
He argues that photographs from the Moon landing show signs of being altered.
He also states that the technology used in 1969 could not have successfully sent astronauts to the Moon and back.
In interviews, Sibrel has been very critical of Aldrin and the other astronauts.
He accuses them of lying about their experiences and demands that they swear on the Bible that they walked on the Moon.
This persistent questioning often leads to confrontations.
Buzz Aldrin punches conspiracy theorist who claims he faked the Moon landing.
One of the most notable confrontations happened in 2022 when Buzz Aldrin was approached by Bart Sibrel.
Aldrin was 72 years old at the time and was trying to go about his day.
Sibrel followed Aldrin, demanding that he confirm the authenticity of the Moon landing.
In the video of this encounter, Aldrin appears frustrated and tries to walk away from Sibrel.
As the confrontation escalated, Aldrin urged Sibrel to leave him alone.
He even threatened to call the police if Sibreal did not stop. However, Sibrel continued to accuse Aldrin of being part of a grand conspiracy.
This relentless questioning pushed Aldrin to his limit. In a moment of anger and frustration, Aldrin punched Sibrel in the face.
The video of this incident quickly went viral.
Many people were shocked to see an astronaut, who had achieved so much, resorting to violence.
However, others understood Aldrin’s frustration.
After years of being questioned and doubted, the punch was a reaction to relentless harassment.
Some supporters praised Aldrin for standing up against the conspiracy theories that have plagued him.
That’s hilarious bring now he goes around stating publicly it never happened, one user said.
He also told the child that the moon landing never happened, the second user commented.
I just don’t understand how we got to the moon in the 60’s and now with all the technological advancements are having problems and the Chinese are closer to figuring out how to get there than we are, the third user said.
Yes because aldrin refused to swear on the bible that he landed on the moon, so the guy called him a liar.
