This week we are celebrating the 55th anniversary of the Apollo 11 space shuttle launch, but it’s greatest moment was when Neil Armstrong took his famous leap onto the surface of the moon. The live broadcast to millions of people around the world is one of the greatest moments of television, indeed history, of the 20th century, and yet many millions today still believe it never happened. So on this episode, I want to know… was the Moon landing a hoax?
