Sorry But Why Does This Video Of Starship Landing In The Pacific Ocean Look So FAKE?

Web Desk,

Add thelocalreport.in As A Trusted Source

I don’t mean to make a huge deal out of this, and I’m not looking for conspiracies under every corner, but I do know what my eyes see and to me this looks super fake.

Like CGI.

Maybe it’s just me?

See what you think, here’s the Starship rocket landing perfectly in the Indian Ocean.

Watch here:

This guy admits it “feels like CGI” but insists it’s real:

Longer view from SpaceX, different angle:

Starlink-equipped buoys captured the realtime video you are seeing:

So what do you think?

Does it look real to you?

I have to take them at their word but the video just looks odd to me.

It all reminds me of this famous quote from Elon from over a decade ago:  “You can tell it’s real because it looks so fake!”

RELATED REPORT:

Elon Musk Asked About “Going To The Moon For Real This Time”

I’m always fascinated when I start to notice a theme starting to take hold in the news or in pop culture.

And right now I’m noticing a strange theme emerging about whether or not we ever actually went to the Moon in 1969-1972.

Yesterday, I brought you this report:

Elon Musk: “ACTUALLY going to the Moon is staggeringly difficult”

And today I have yet another one!

This one from the All-In Podcast but also strangely featuring Elon Musk.

In this one, (the dreadful) Jason Calacanis) randomly asks Elon Musk about going to the moon, but his exact quote is asking how about we go “to the Moon for real this time”.

Watch here:

That comes from the full interview below if you want to see it all:

Interestingly, Elon doesn’t correct him or say of course we’ve already gone to the Moon before.

In fact, Elon seems to accept the premise as accurate that perhaps we should finally “go for real” now.

I’ve always found it fascinating that Elon Musk is so focused on going to Mars because the Moon would be the most obvious place to go first.

The fact that he’s never seemed interested in that has always perplexed me.

I wrote a lot more about it in my related report from yesterday:

Elon Musk: “ACTUALLY going to the Moon is staggeringly difficult”

Elon Musk posted something recently that really caught my attention…

Maybe you missed it, allow me to show you.

The man who is constantly talking about sending rockets to Mars as if it’s no big deal and we’re just going to do it by brute force recently posted that “ACTUALLY going to the Moon is staggeringly difficult.”

Here’s the post:

Longtime readers of WLT Report know I am extremely skeptical about the claim that we ACTUALLY went to the Moon in 1969-1972…

I find it extremely hard to believe that on our very first try, with far less computing power than each of us now carries in our pockets now in 2025, we launched a rocket to the Moon, landed it perfectly, drove a dune-buggy around for a bit, then packed up, somehow recorded that footage of blastoff, then flew the entire way home no problem, reentering Earth and arriving back safely.

Oh!  And I almost forgot, we allegedly crossed through the highly-lethal Van Allen Radiation Belts in 1969 too in nothing more than a tin can with no radiation shielding!  How?  Why?  The official NASA answer to that question is “Because we didn’t know about them yet!”  That’s a true response, look it up.

And don’t forget about Richard Nixon phoning the boys up on the Moon from the Oval Office!

Not only that, but the dune buggy they allegedly hauled up there to tool around on allegedly had a TV camera mounted to it that was controlled remotely from Earth.  From ChatGPT:

Lunar Liftoff (“Blasting Off”)

So Richard Nixon can just phone the Moon from the Oval Office and we can remote control a camera mounted to a dune buggy cruising around on the Moon from back on Earth — all back in 1969 mind you — and yet I drop my WiFi signal in my house constantly because it’s hard to keep a connection?

Really?

We really phoned the Moon 238,000 miles away with 1969 technology?

You really expect me to believe that?

It reminds me of when Elon Musk was asked about that Tesla Roadster he shot up into Space and people said it looked really fake.

Do you remember Elon’s reaction?

Quote:  “You know it’s real because it looks so fake!”

Anyway, back to Elon’s post about Moon.

Here’s a screenshot:

Why is the man who thinks it’s no problem going to Mars saying how “staggeringly difficult” it is to go to the Moon?

For that matter, why did we NEVER RETURN after 1972?

Why has no other country sent manned missions to the Moon ever since either?

Why isn’t there a Starbucks on every corner by now, over 50 years later?

Really?

We all just stopped going because “been there, done that”?

Or is it as Elon suggests….staggeringly difficult to “ACTUALLY” go to the Moon.

And don’t think I didn’t notice that he put “ACTUALLY” in all caps, as if to suggest we didn’t ACTUALLY go?

Come on folks, it’s pretty painfully obvious to see!

And furthermore, this has bugged me for a long time…why is Elon going to Mars straightaway?

Wouldn’t you think SpaceX would want to test everything out first by going to the Moon once or twice?

Don’t you usually start small and build bigger as you go?

It has never made sense to me that Elon has zero interest in going to the Moon but he just has to get to Mars.

The plan is allegedly to make humans a multi-planetary species in case some catastrophe hits Earth, right?

I get it, noble plan.

But Mars is just as inhospitable as the Moon is, and a lot tougher to send supplies farther away.

If you wanted to get humans off the Earth, isn’t the most natural starting place the Moon?

Unless….we never actually went there in the first place?

Hmmmmmm…….

Even Joe Rogan is asking questions:

Joe Rogan: Why Can’t Billionaires Replicate The Moon Landing?

Before we tackle this one, I have to give my standard disclaimer.

I don’t create the news, I just cover it.

And I can’t help it if Joe Rogan is using his #1 ranked, top-listened to, podcast to talk about the moon landing and ask if it was fake.

When I first started covering this, I got a lot of hate mail.

Now it’s about 50/50.

If you can be intellectually honest enough to put aside what you were told as a child and simply look at all the “facts”, most people all do the same thing…

Most people start to say “wait a minute, this isn’t adding up.”

Here’s the latest…

Joe Rogan has a guest on who asks a very simple question — the same question I keep asking:

Name one other time in human history where technology went BACKWARDS.

Basically, this:

In case you don’t understand what is being said in that meme, I’ll explain.

They claim we sent astronauts to the moon in 1969 and a couple other times up through 1972.

And after that?

Nothing.

Never went back again.

Still haven’t.

NASA’s answer?

We lost that technology.

That is LITERALLY their answer.

Back to Joe Rogan and his guest.

His guest asks the simple question why can’t all these billionaires replicate sending ONE human being to the moon when we allegedly did it in 1969 with less technology than you currently hold in your hand with the latest iPhone.

Less technology by about a factor of 1,000x.

Is the real answer because it was faked?

This was a fascinating chat and I have a 5 minute clip for you here.

Question everything.

Watch this:

Now let me go even deeper.

Joe Rogan is playing devil’s advocate in this clip.

In fact, Joe Rogan always defends the moon landings now.

But it wasn’t always that way.

Many people say Joe Rogan “sold out”.

Completely changed his tune.

It’s hard to deny it after I show you this next clip.

This clip below is Joe Rogan back before his show got big.

Now you tell me which Joe Rogan truly believes what he is saying…

The guy in this old clip from Rumble or the guy trying to defend the moon landings from two weeks ago in the clip above?

The answer is obvious.

Watch here on Rumble:

Now let’s talk Buzz Aldrin…

Did Buzz Aldrin Just Admit (Again) That The Moon Landings Were Fake?

WARNING!  WARNING!

Time for another installment of hard-hitting investigative journalism…where we aren’t afraid to create a little cognitive dissonance along the way!

Some of you will be very bothered by this article…

“How dare he question the moon landings!”

Sorry folks, but we don’t create the news here…we just report on it.

We also don’t create the “truth”…we just seek it out and set it free.

So buckle up buttercup, this could get bumpy for a few of you.

I can already hear many others saying “it’s about time Noah covered this!”

So here we go….

Did Buzz Aldrin just admit (again) that the moon landings were faked?

Well, it sure looks like it.

But we’ll give you all the evidence and let you decide.

A clip of Buzz Aldrin on Conan O’Brien’s Late Night Show from 2000 is suddenly going viral right now thanks to this post on TikTok:

In the clip, Buzz pretty clearly says the video of the astronauts walking on the moon was fake.

I don’t know how else you interpret that.

I mean, I know this is a comedy show, but nothing about this clip appears to be a joke or a bit.

Even Conan is taken aback and temporarily at a loss for how to respond (and it’s his job to never be caught off guard as a talk show host).

So watch the clip for yourself.

And for anyone shouting “CONTEXT!” I’ve got you covered.

Here is the full interview to watch the segment in context:

The Reuters Fact-Check team has already investigated and determined what you heard Buzz say is totally “False”.

Just another one we all got wrong!

God bless the fact-checkers, I don’t know where we’d be without them!

So somehow they’ve labeled this as “False” despite the part I bolded below where they seem to even admit that the footage is, in fact, mostly made of animations.

This is their full report:

Social media users are sharing a video of astronaut Buzz Aldrin being interviewed by American television host Conan O’Brien and claiming that Aldrin discussing parts of the moon landing broadcasts being animated is proof that it was all faked.

He was referring to animations used by broadcasters at the time in their coverage of the moon landing, intercut with real footage. The moon landing did take place and men did walk on the moon.

Examples of the erroneous social media posts can be seen ( here ) and ( here ).

A longer video of the interview, dated May 17, 2000, can be seen on YouTube ( here ).

At the 1:29 mark, O’Brien says: “Let’s talk about this because this is fascinating. I remember very clearly; I think anybody who was alive at the time does. I remember my parents waking me up and we went down, and we watched you guys land on the moon.”

Aldrin responds: “No, you didn’t. Because there wasn’t any television, there wasn’t anybody taking the picture. You watched animation so you associated what you saw with… you heard me talking about, you know, how many feet we’re going to the left and right and then I said contact light, engine stopped, a few other things and then Neil said ‘Houston, tranquility base. The Eagle has landed.’ How about that? Not a bad line.”

The moon landing took place on July 20, 1969 with astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. NASA said in 2006 that no one could find the original video recordings of the July 20, 1969, landing. However, in 2009 NASA released a complete digital make-over of the original landing footage that clarifies the blurry and grainy images of Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the surface of the moon ( here ).

A video compiled by CNN shows the available footage from the mission ( here ), including takeoff and the astronauts climbing down and walking on the moon.

An article ( here ) by the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum explains the challenges of recording footage of the moon landing and walking.

NASA contracted with Westinghouse for a black and white camera costing $2.29 million to capture the iconic moment, according to the museum. Photographs of the camera, which was stored in the lunar module’s Modular Equipment Stowage Assembly near the ladder Armstrong can be seen climbing down, can be seen ( here ).

“For us today, we can thank technicians for having recorded the broadcast, though the tapes assumed to be of the highest quality were never located despite searches for them in the last few decades,” the article reads. “What we see now on YouTube or in films are high definition scans of those best available copies.”

An article by Vox ( here ) says some television networks built sets to recreate some of the moments that were not able to be captured on video.

The National Science and Media Museum discussed the Apollo 11 broadcast on its website ( here ): “Many broadcasters used simulations to flesh out their Apollo programming. Networks paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for scale models of Apollo command modules and rockets. During the broadcast, these were used to create simulations of the mission which were then intercut with real footage.”

“The thing to remember is what news was like in the late 1960’s, not 24-hour continuous coverage,” Margaret Weitekamp, Chair of the Space History Department at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, said by phone. “The coverage of that trip needed to be explained to the public without the ability for continuous relay of video we are now used to.”

“Animations would have been a part of a constellation of different ways that that story was told over a series of days. At the time, the coverage would have been combined with animations that helped provide a broader picture of what was being done. But this certainly doesn’t invalidate that those landings took place.”

There is no evidence that the moon landing was faked or that astronauts did not walk on the moon. However, there is plenty of evidence that it happened. Reports about the landing can be seen ( here ), ( here ) and ( here ).

Photographs of the moon landing can be seen ( here ), ( here ), and ( here ).

Reuters has previously debunked claims that the moon landing was faked ( here ), ( here ), ( here ).

VERDICT

False. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin explaining that broadcasters used animations during their coverage of the moon landing does not prove that it was faked.

But that’s far from the first time Buzz has seemed to admit the whole thing was a fake.

You have to wonder if on his death bed Buzz will finally and unequivocally confess to the fake?

Watch this clip on Rumble where an 8-year old girl asks Buzz why we never went back to the moon after 1972…

A GREAT question!

Because there is no other example in recorded history where something new was discovered and then we just stopped going there.

Imagine discovering America in 1492 and then the Europeans just decided to never send another boat.

Right, didn’t happen.

Would never happen.

Doesn’t pass the smell test.

So watch this short clip where Buzz says the reason we never went back is because we never went in the first place!

It must have felt good to finally get that off his chest I guess?

And again, if you want the full context and full interview, I have that here:

Oh, then there was this gem…

Bart Sibrel (more on him in a minute) caught Buzz one day out on the street and he asked him something simple: swear on this Bible that you actual went to the moon.

Buzz becomes visibly agitated and then punches Bart in the face.

Watch:

Cause that’s normal, right?

For more on Bart, his book Moon Man is a must read:

Bart is most famously known for his film: A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Moon.

For anyone who believes the moon landings are 100% real and beyond any reproach, I challenge you to watch this 45 minute video and then report back to me.

I’ve never heard from anyone who has watched this and not had their eyes opened:

Backup here (since that will likely get taken down by the Tube):

And one more backup here:

Now let’s examine the big Press Conference Buzz, Neil and the third guy had when they got back from WALKING ON THE FREAKING MOON!

You’d think they’d have smiles from ear to ear that simply wouldn’t wipe off…right?

You know, something like how Sir Edmund Hillary looked after climbing Mount Everest — see below:

Nope!

Instead they looked like this…☝️

You might say they looked exactly as you or I might look if you had just faked a Moon Landing and deceived and entire nation.

But that’s just my take, you be the judge.

Do these look like guys who just walked on the Moon?

You can watch the whole solemn press conference here on Rumble — it’s stunning:

So…did Neil and Buzz and the third guy really walk on the Moon?

Or was it all faked?

And if it was faked, was it faked because….it has to be?

Perhaps because there is a FIRMAMENT over our world, like Genesis tells us?

It’s literally in the first 7 verses of the Bible, almost as if God wanted to make it pretty hard to miss?

Genesis 1:

7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

Almost as if we couldn’t be through the firmament, let alone get to the Moon, even if we wanted to?

If this is blowing your mind, then I’m only getting started.

Biblical Trees Beyond the Ice Wall…?

Our governments and the so-called “Elites” have lied to us for a long time about just about everything, and I think it’s HIGHLY likely that they are lying to us about the shape of the Earth and the nature of where we live.

Everyone still ok?

Did we lose anyone?

Well buckle up buttercup because it’s about to get wild!

This article is probably going to be one of the most controversial things I have posted in a long time.

And I’m ok with that.

I know some people will judge a book by its cover and immediately write this off, but I give you one caution before you do…

There is a famous quote I’d like to share with you that has been attributed to many different people over time, so I’m not sure who said it first, but it goes like this:

Powerful.

Read that again and let it sink in.

If you want to remain in ignorance, write off an idea before you even look into it.  Surefire way to stay uninformed.

So let me begin with a question:

Why is no one allowed to go to Antarctica?

Oh sure you can go, but only to a few selection locations.  And NO further.  And only with a guide.

Why is that?

Why is it so important to protect whatever’s down there?

Why have all the countries of the world signed on to a treaty about Antarctica?
