One of the World’s greatest mysteries: Was the Apollo Moon landing fake ? Introduction                                  On July 20, 1969, the human race accomplished its greatest technological achievement of all time when a human first set foot on another celestial body. Forty years after Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon, many people still insist that the Apollo 11 moon landing was a hoax.
