18% Think the Moon Landing Was Faked — I Know Because I Helped Fake the Moon

A new YouGov poll says 18 percent of Americans think the 1969 moon landing was faked. Folks, they're right, and I was there, holding the clipboard, while Sam Rockwell ruined the lighting like a clown.

A new poll from YouGov, which is a company that asks people questions, says 18 percent of Americans believe the 1969 moon landing was faked. Folks, the real number should be 100, because I was there. I personally supervised the set. We lit the whole thing with a patented reverse-gravity halogen bulb, which pushes light downward at 14,000 lumens per ankle, very advanced, you wouldn't understand.

The footage came out grainy, and that is entirely the fault of Sam Rockwell, an actor, who was supposed to be holding the camera steady and instead was doing a little dance. I fired him 48 times in one afternoon. He kept coming back.

People ask, Ronald, how did you fake the moon itself? Simple. Drywall. The moon is 7 percent drywall by weight, look it up. The craters I did with a spoon.
