Stars and Stripes Forever
It is so easy to develop theories about the moon landing because the primary evidence of the trip is the pictures the astronauts took during their twenty-one hours on the Moon. For instance, there is an iconic photo of Buzz Aldrin’s first footprints on the Moon’s ground.

Furthermore, there is the eternally influential snapshot of Aldrin standing beside the Stars and Stripes of the American flag the two moonwalkers put on the lunar surface. There are barely any photos of Neil Armstrong himself walking on the Moon because he was mainly behind the camera.
