2 The Viking spacecraft captured an image in 1976 that looked like a face (see left image Fig.

3Ĭonspiracy theorists claimed that the ‘Face on Mars’ was an enormous mountain-sized artificial structure carved (by aliens) into the form of a face on the surface of Mars, in the region called Cydonia. Left, 1976 Viking image and, right, 2001 MGS image. So called ‘Face on Mars’ on the plain of Cydonia. The head of the space program at that time addressed the group of scientists I was with, and she specifically mentioned the lunar landings, and the hoax claims, and in particular the ‘Face on Mars’ conspiracy that proposed a big cover-up at NASA. In 1998 I visited the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena (California) and spoke with the engineers of the space program. To cover that up would take a deception of gigantic proportions. To add to this is the testimony of probably a hundred thousand people involved in the Apollo missions. The fact of the moon landing is a historical question for which there is strong supporting evidence. Four images from NASA clearly showing the surface of the moon with astronaut footprints, rover tracks, and scorch marks from the spacecraft used. This hoax had developed to such a point that NASA used its Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) to take new photographs in 2011 from an altitude of 50 km (31 miles) of the surface of the moon that clearly show astronaut footprints, the lunar rover tracks and spacecraft scorch marks. The conspiracy theory claims that it was all faked in a Hollywood film studio. NASA did land astronauts in the moon in 1969, and after that. However, to say that 6-day biblical creation, also known as Young EarthĜreation, has any correspondence to the moon-landing-hoax theory, by any measure is beyond all reason. That’s how I sometimes hear people speak of my biblical creation worldview on origins. Conspiracy theorists claimed that the ‘Face on Mars’ was an enormous mountain-sized artificial structure carved by aliens.

Apollo moon landing hoax and the ‘Face on Mars’Īccording to some people, denying evolution and believing biblical creation is like saying that NASA faked the Moon landings.
