Apollo 11 Moon Landing: The Great Hoax

In 1969, millions watched the Apollo 11 moon landing, unaware that it was created in a secret movie studio below the Nevada desert. Stanley Carter, a special effects expert who created the video, nervously watched from his office, not knowing that he had just completed what would become the greatest illusion in history. NASA, under pressure to beat the Soviets, were aware of critical failures in actual moon missions. Fearing national embarrassment, top officials devised an alternative plan. They recruited Carter, a visual mastermind, to stage the landing using advanced film techniques. His secret team built a lunar set, manipulated lighting, and designed weightless movements using hidden wires.
