More than 50 years since the alleged moon landings of NASA, the space agency that gets funded with billions of taxpayer dollars every year claimed a landmark lunar “flyby” mission with Artemis II a few months ago. Mainstream media sold it as a big victory for America as PR for NASA. But skeptics and independent analysts raised important questions and shared observations to debunk NASA and its ally media’s claims of getting that close to the moon.
Florida Today attempted to dismiss these questions about the reality of the Artemis II flyby mission as wild conspiracy theories without actually offering any scientific evidence that would prove the claims made by NASA in support of its alleged flyby near the moon.
Longtime skeptic and independent analyst Eric Dubay made a number of videos to show that NASA lied about Artemis II going into the outer space and flying by the moon. The following video is Dubay’s dissection of some of the publicly shared imagery from the Artemis II lunar mission.
In the footsteps of the Apollo missions whose claims of moon landing remain disputed but unquestioned by majority of the public who believe what they were told and shown, the Artemis II lunar flyby mission was celebrated in the official narrative parroted by the mainstream media as a historic success that would lead to man’s landing on the moon again (assuming it happened before). But questions remain despite the media quickly moving on from the story.
The biggest question with NASA’s missions, including Artemis II, is that of verification. Science works by objective verification and independent inquiries answered through evidence that is open to public scrutiny. That is far from being the case in NASA. There is no independent committee, ideally an international one, of scientists, journalists, and members of the general public to examine the material evidence (spacecraft, technology, and original footage etc.) involved in any space mission. When images and videos are questioned, mainstream media and podcasters aligned with them gang up on the skeptics to dismiss them as conspiracy theorists.
In an age of technology and independent media/publishing platforms, shouting out to bury uncomfortable questions doesn’t work except in making the official narrative more questionable and subject to suspicion. From history, however, it is obvious that NASA doesn’t care about what questions are raised or how they can do better in answering those questions. Like other federal agencies, it is interested in the flow of taxpayer money, as much of it as they can secure. And that is something no government would deny them. The status quo would continue, most likely forever.
