Now i really would want a faked Corridor moonlanding!

This is way too serious for April 1st.
Whenever anyone suggest astronauts are on wires I show the video of Skylab astronauts doing zero gee gymnastics, that usually shuts them up.

We need like a whole Tinfoil Hat Series. Corridor makes the moonlanding, Bigfoot, Lochness, mothman. If you thought the Boston Dynamics went crazy imagine a bunch of whackos losing their shit over crazy Bigfoot footage haha

Finally, some FX guys who know what they're talking about. I watched Apollo 11 back in 1969, when special effects were nothing compared to what we have now. That thought never occurred to anyone because we followed the space program from its early days. With all the assertions made these days, my favorite has always been the "dust". You guys are the first to thoroughly address it. Dust kicked up and falling like iron filings is impossible on Earth and impossible outside a vacuum. You address conditions of light, scale, and a lunar surface very well - thoroughly enjoyed this!

This is great, at first I thought you guys would be acting like it's all fake for April fools, but no you guys straight up explained why it can't be faked.

One of the things that conspiracy theorists forget is that they're watching edited footage. You're only seeing the pretty highlights. The unedited footage of the Apollo 11 landing is out there and it's really boring.

The explanation of how sand particles on the moon behave was so cool, never even noticed how bizarre it was

[danieljohnkirby]

I always love when people say that Stanley Kubrick helped to fake the Moon Landing using the techniques he developed for "2001: A Space Odyssey" since the Moon Landing looks nothing like "2001: A Space Odyssey".

[LOKOBach]

I really appreciate how it's an actual breakdown instead of pretending to think it's fake, this was both awesome and insightful

[StuartQuinn]

I saw the title and thought this would be a silly April Fools joke, but it turned out to be one of the most interesting videos from CC in ages.

[theevermind]

the moon landing was done in a studio. However, to maintain the level of realism expected, they built the studio on the moon.

[WilkenWilkins]

it’s real people. it’s time to accept that actually going to the moon is way more exciting than a conspiracy.

[YYZBound]

Someone once quipped “Kubrick was hired by NASA to fake the moon landing but he was such a perfectionist that he ended up shooting on location”

[WKogut]

Its april fools so I expected them to be like "yeah it's definitely faked", but they trolled me by not trolling and actually debunking the "conspiracy"

[concrete-disco]

So nice to read the comments of intelligent people on this subject for a change.😊

[EthalaRide]

I'm glad that this was an April fools episode, but you still took the subject seriously and went through the footage like a professional with your genuine appraisal. Thanks 10/10

[jakescott]

Us Australians always get screwed by April Fools:
"I'm glad it is no longer April the first, those pranks were just too interesting and funny. Oh! What is this new video that is being released on the second of April about?"
BAM. Pranked. Every time.

It just makes me so happy that these two men are on the moon for the first time ever. And they are just hopping around singing and laughing

[scubastevedan]

Nico nailed it, the dust is the real dead giveaway and it proves the authenticity of the footage.
