"Look at that!" he shouted, pointing at the skewed shadows. "If the Sun is the only light source, shouldn't they be parallel?"

They built a miniature lunar landscape with one primary light source. To their surprise, the uneven topography of the "moon" naturally bent the shadows, making them appear non-parallel just like the Apollo photos. One point for NASA . Act II: The Waving Flag

NASA hired Stanley Kubrick to fake the moon landing, but he is such a perfectionist that he insisted on shooting it on location. YouTube·Penguin Books UK [S6E10] NASA Moon Landing Hoax

They placed a replica flag inside a . On Earth, air resistance makes a flag stop moving quickly. But in a vacuum, without air to provide friction, the flag continued to oscillate for a long time after being touched. The "waving" wasn't wind; it was physics in a vacuum. Act III: The Lunar Footprint

The finale took them to the . They weren't just looking through a telescope; they were firing a high-powered laser at the moon. "Look at that

"If we're going to do this," Jamie said, his voice flat as ever, "we have to go big. We need a vacuum, we need high-powered lasers, and we need to stop people from saying the flag was waving." Act I: The Shadow Play

As the episode wrapped, the team looked at the data. They had recreated the "faked" photos, proved the flag’s movement, and literally touched a piece of human history with a laser beam. One point for NASA

Conspiracy theorists argued that footprints in the dry lunar dust should be impossible without moisture. Adam stepped into a tray of dry, fine-grained lunar simulant in a vacuum. Because the dust was jagged and had nothing to "cushion" it, the footprint held its shape perfectly. No water required. Act IV: The Laser Reflector
