NASA’s upcoming Artemis II mission, intended to return humans to lunar orbit for the first time in over 50 years, has become the subject of various online conspiracy theories. Social media users have circulated claims that footage featuring the mission’s crew was staged using green screens and digital effects. These allegations typically cite visual anomalies, such as reflections on helmets and lighting inconsistencies, as evidence of a hoax. Experts and fact-checkers have addressed these claims, explaining that such visual effects are standard results of high-contrast space environments and camera lens properties.
- The Artemis II mission is designed to carry four astronauts around the Moon to test the Orion spacecraft’s capabilities.
- Viral posts have alleged that “glitches” in official NASA videos prove the use of CGI and studio-based filming.
- Analysis of the footage shows that supposed “green screen” edges are often the result of chromatic aberration or compression artifacts.
- Misinformation regarding the mission follows a historical trend of skepticism surrounding lunar exploration and the Apollo program.
- NASA maintains transparency by documenting the rigorous training and technical preparations required for the deep-space journey.

The real question is that since Stanley Kubrick is dead, who is NASA now using and will he or she nominated for an Academy Award?
Some people have way more free time than everyone else.
Why am I not surprised by this…
I don't think conspiracy theorists have ever heard of Occam's razor.
where are the stars in the background of the moon shots?
Jesus christ if they were going to fake it I'm pretty sure they could do better than a damn green screen lmao
Please don't spend time on this crab!!!
Should show where these accounts are based
Absolutely cos actors, doing a great job. The "we're cold," excellent touch. They're obviously too rested and relaxed for a real trip to the moon! 😅 Joking satire! Under TRump, believe what?😅
It landed in the ocean
The belief is that Stanley Kubrick was enlisted to make a movie of the original Apollo moon landing.
However, Kubrick being Kubrick he insisted on authenticity so they had to shoot on location.
I’m honestly embarrassed by how widespread scientific ignorance has become in America. How can a nation capable of sending people back to the Moon also produce such staggering levels of scientific illiteracy? It’s a contradiction that shouldn’t exist. If we want a future worthy of our potential, we need to rebuild scientific understanding from the ground up—starting by promoting accessible, engaging science education for the masses at a level everyone can grasp. A society that values knowledge doesn’t just explore space; it lifts its people with it.
Yeah it's faked. They have the people on board land somewhere in the ocean and then hide out for the rest of the mission.
but can you replica iphone
This didn't convince me.
There's no point bothering to try to debunk this kind of thing. The kinds of people who have that level of distrust won't believe anything they don't witness first-hand. They'll twist any explanation anyone gives. I always feel debunking vids are really just for people to congratulate themselves on how much smarter they are than the conspiracy theorists. I don't think they serve any purpose beyond that.
Who let the uneducated out…Who Who….
I have a theory that deniers are also Trump supporters.
I am surprised they have not shown the ones with the alien base on the dark side of the moon.
People do not trust their government! This is not 1969! I truly can't say one way or the other. One thing I do know. It is a total waste of money! We humans have one home. Yep it's called Earth! Joy rides, do not help us. Us is common citizens of? You guessed it Earth!
Oh come on, you can clearly see that journalists here are AI generated. They look too real and have five fingers on their hands which confirms it.
Capricorn One. For you younglings that is a movie about faking a trip to Mars.
There's a far side of the Moon. There is no permanent dark side.
A law student in india, TORN DOWN CLOTHES OF CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIA IN HIS ARTICLE IN THE VERY GOOD, LEGALLY COMPELLING WORDS.
CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIA ORDERED HIM TO KEEP SILENCE ON HIS ACT AND REMOVE HIS ONLINE ARTICLE.
HE REFUSED HIS ORDER.
EU MEDIA NEGLECTED THIS. SHAME.
I am actually disappointed in humans. How can you doubt the great achievements of your own species. We are supposed to be cosmic explorers. We're supposed to look to the Stars, but everybody just wants to look down at that at themselfs and keep it all political most of the time
So they went all that way and a guy on Earth took clearer photos than them 😂
