<p>One enduring conspiracy theory suggests that the moon landing was actually filmed on a soundstage by director Stanley Kubrick. This myth gained traction after a fake video surfaced in 2015, featuring a supposed Kubrick confession. In reality, this video was a hoax, and Kubrick had no involvement in NASA’s Apollo missions.</p>
<p><strong>Fact:</strong> The Apollo moon landing was not staged by Hollywood or Kubrick. While Kubrick’s film “2001: A Space Odyssey” predated the moon landing, there is no credible evidence to support the idea that he faked the historic event.</p>
