Clips, sets and AI.
The Aldrin “confession” was cut mid-answer. [1] The “Kubrick set” was partly footage from the 2018 film First Man. [2] Kim Kardashian said Aldrin interviews made her doubt it; acting NASA administrator Sean Duffy replied, “Yes, we’ve been to the Moon before... 6 times!” [3]
During Artemis II in April 2026, photos shared as exposing fakery were AI-made or old NASA images. [4] Altered Earth images were passed off as Apollo 8 and Artemis II photos. [5] A TV caption error was also used as “proof”. [6]
