Before we begin, it is worth knowing....
“In a society saturated with technology like ours, yet increasingly besieged by new prophets, bursts of irrationality and a false quest for the marvelous, turning away from science or allowing it to be demonized actually means handing ourselves over to the real demons: irrationality, superstition, prejudice, and entering a new age of obscurantism”.

Before starting to analyze the data, I believe it is necessary to make a few important points. Moon-hoax theories assume that on the Moon and in space the laws of physics, and of chemistry in general, behave in a completely different way from what happens every day here on Earth. In fact, they claim that space is an environment so different from ours that it would radically distort reality, making it impossible to simulate and reproduce accurately elsewhere. That is precisely why, in their view, the photos of the Apollo missions, which they believe were shot in "top secret" studios here on Earth, show so many anomalies. To dispel any prejudice from the outset and dismantle the illogical picture that could form in people's minds, I believe it is necessary, before we begin, to set out three fundamental physical principles which, if carefully kept in mind while reading the following chapters, will demonstrate the reality of the events and show that there is nothing strange or abnormal about the Apollo program...
- All the laws of physics apply on Earth,
just as they do on the Moon and throughout the Universe. - What happens "photographically" speaking on Earth
also happens on the Moon and/or in space. - The fact that the lunar surface is directly exposed to outer space
must not lead us to believe that space can bend the laws of physics.
At this point, with an open mind and safe from the risk of misinterpreting the laws of physics, we can step into the colorful corridor that makes up the "alleged lunar hoax" of the Moon-hoax believers, and analyze it scientifically and with a skeptical eye...
