The Moon landing kooks now have "proof!"

A shadowy reflection of a "stagehand."

‘Fake’ Apollo moon landing photo causes new conspiracy buzz on social media

Almost 50 years after man walked on the moon, the “giant leap for mankind” is under the microscope once again – with conspiracy theorists convinced they have proof one of the moon landings was fake.

A picture allegedly taken in December 1972 of the final Apollo 17 moon mission has been shared online, and shows what one YouTuber believes is the reflection of a “stagehand” in the helmet of one of the astronauts.

Probably because the stage was in a vacuum, 239,000 miles away, on the surface of a nearby satellite.

The narrator says, "... a stage hand NOT wearing a space suit ...", but he clearly IS wearing a space suit. The dark leggings are because they are in the shade (which on the moon means the dark). Fer cripes sakes!
