In July 1969, the United States beat the Soviet Union in the decades long Space Race, taking one giant leap onto the surface of the moon. Neil Armstrong’s steps would go down in history as one of mankind’s greatest achievements. But there are those who question whether it happened at all. Was our technology really up to the task? Or were we fighting a losing battle against the Soviets, desperate to hold on to our reputation? We’ll explore the history of the Space Race and the two brains behind it all - Wernher Von Braun and Sergei Korolev. One a former major in the SS and the other a former prisoner of the Gulag. Both would use their knowledge of rocket science to advance space travel in ways we’d never before seen. We’ll dig into conspiracy theories started by technical writer Bill Kaysing, and examine photos from the landing that people love to pick apart. In the end, we’ll tell you where we each land. Strap in for a fun episode uncovering one of America’s greatest conspiracy theories. Happy Haunting!
