We Never Went to the Moon

With his book We Never Went to the Moon , published in 1976, he founded the conspiracy theory surrounding the Apollo moon landings .

From 1957 to 1963 he himself worked for the NASA supplier Rocketdyne , which manufactured engines for the Saturn V rockets. He was the head of technical documentation. He wasn't an engineer or a scientist. However, Kaysing claimed that during this time he had insight into the Mercury , Gemini , Atlas and the Apollo programs.

He claimed u. a .:

  • The NASA did not have the technical experience to bring a man to the moon.
  • It should have been stars in the alleged photographs of the moon.
  • The film material used should have melted on the moon due to the high radiation.
  • Many optical inaccuracies in the moon photos are inexplicable.

Kaysing went even further and accused NASA of murdering the astronauts during the Apollo 1 fire and the Challenger accident in order to silence them. He also accused many government organizations of being involved in conspiracies, including the CIA , the Federal Reserve and the IRS . Kaysing spoke of a large-scale manipulation ("brain wash") of the American public and the media.

1997 led Kaysing against the astronaut Jim Lovell a libel case, because this had called him crazy (American "wacky"). The lawsuit was dismissed in 1999.

In 2001, Kaysing was on the FOX television documentary Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon? involved.
