The moon landing conspiracy theory has been kept alive for over 50 years on the strength of two things — suspicious shadows in photographs and footage that hoax believers insist could only have been shot on a Hollywood soundstage — so Adam and Jamie, as actual Hollywood special effects experts, decided to settle it the only way MythBusters knows how: by building a full-scale replica of the lunar landing site, shooting their own photographs under identical conditions, suiting Adam up in a replica NASA spacesuit, filming his movements in slow motion, and then boarding a reduced gravity aircraft to film the exact same movements in actual microgravity and compare — and the footage matched the original NASA film exactly, the shadows made complete sense, and the conspiracy fell apart on contact with science, so sit down, strap in, and watch two of Hollywood's most experienced special effects guys personally dismantle the myth that won't die.
