Brian Cox ends debate over whether we really landed on the Moon once and for all

Brian Cox finally put an end to the debate over whether us humans actually landed on the moon.

I know, I know, you might have thought that was pretty obvious, but there are plenty of people out there who don’t believe the Moon landings were real.

Conspiracy theorists have all sorts of beliefs about our endeavours in space, from Apollo 11 not happening to the original video being faked. And I’m pretty sure there’s some out there who still to this day reckon we’ve never set foot on Earth’s natural satellite.

But good old Brian Cox has given a very simple answer in a bid to put a stop to the wild claims and theories once and for all - yet again.

The physicist is a bit of a go-to when it comes to all things space and science, so who better to get a take from on this?

As part of LADbible’s Honesty Box, Cox was asked to ‘prove that the Moon landings are real’.

“Yeah, you just – any photograph. Look at any photograph taken by a modern spacecraft, for example, which are not American spacecraft, if you want to be really conspiratorial about it,” he slammed.

“We have photographs of the landing sites with the stuff there.”

Of course, though, there are some who claim the photos taken by Neil Armstrong during the Apollo 11 Moon landing in 1969 can’t be real, as they find problems with the shadows in the idea that the Sun would be the only light source.

National Space Centre Discovery Director Professor Anu Ojha debunked this issue, though, therefore backing Cox’s stance.

"This is on the surface of the Moon, but we can reproduce this effect any time we want to on Earth," Prof Ojha told Royal Museums Greenwich. "You have all seen this phenomenon yourself, where, because of perspective, parallel lines appear to be non-parallel.

"If you are trying to reduce on to a two-dimensional plane a three-dimensional situation, you can make lines do all sorts of weird things. Artists have been using this for centuries."

Others also take issue with the original content with the American flag ‘waving in the wind’ on the Moon.

But it’s said it’s been set up with a telescopic pole to make the flag fly properly.

Cox went on to back the astronauts who have been up there, suggesting the very fact they’re said to have done it is enough proof too.

“And, I’ve met several of the people that walked on the Moon, I’ve been very lucky to do so and they are undoubtedly not bulls***ters,” he said.

"You’ve seen the video of Buzz Aldrin punching someone who said otherwise and I fully supported him in that endeavour.”
