Neil deGrasse Tyson on Faked Moon Landing: Denies

The claim: The Apollo Moon landings were faked.

2025-09-30: “Have you really thought about what it would take to fake the moon landing?" He said. "Because the rocket did launch, we all saw the rocket launch, okay so there's hardware there, there are office buildings of blueprints for the design of the Saturn 5 rocket, hundreds of engineering hours that went behind this and the records of those designs.” source
2025-09-30: “If you wanted to fake the moon landing you would have to fake all of these documents and it just seems to me it's way easier to just go to the moon.” source
2025-12-31: “I know we went to the moon. What do you mean 'I think'? To be in denial means you are intellectually and emotionally disconnected from civilisation.” source
2026-01-03: “The fact that we have people living and walking among us in denial of where engineering and science has taken us," he has said, "is itself a compliment for how far civilisation has become.” source
2026-06-06: “they'll see people think Earth is flat, that we never went to the moon, even though we have all manner of hardware on the moon. They say we didn't go to the moon, they have to admit that we didn't go to the moon nine times.” source
