Bah, humbug! He's just a conspiracy nut!

Bah, humbug! He's just a conspiracy nut!

This is all taken out of context. Those words he uses are not hints or admissions. They're ambiguous words that are missing context and deliberately presented as proof that the moon landings didn't happen. The first part even has a laugh track so that was not a legit setup. You are reading into it what you want to believe is true. This is (((linguistic manipulation))) edited to take hold in the weak minded. It doesn't take much brain power to discover the words have different meanings if you don't go in with a bias.

Those were my thoughts as I started watching this. Didn't finish, didn't care to.

I don't believe so. To me, it's more like an old guy at the end of his time, trying to unburden his conscience from decades of forced dishonesty. At least the "Could have been scary" one does not leave room for interpretation, other than self-delusion.

I mean, did you ever see the press conference with the three of them (Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins)? Their faces, their demeanor? These are not the men that just came back from the greatest adventure any human had ever undertaken.

Please note that I said Apollo 11 did not happen. I don't claim we never went to the moon.

Get a grip dude, the first bits are clipped from some sort of comedy special.

You're right, regrettably the video I chose to upload had that segment at the beginning, source below.

The other two, especially the "could have been scary" one, are weird though, to say the least.

The video was part of a segment that poked fun at fans who spotted errors on O'Brien's now-discontinued show "Conan" on US-based broadcaster TBS (archived link).

Aldrin's video was made in response to a fan who said that O'Brien had mistakenly identified Aldrin as the first person to walk on the moon.

In the video, Aldrin was invited to playfully defend O'Brien's error by joking that he was actually the first man to land on the moon and not Armstrong. He said just before leaving the space flight, he had switched space suits with Armstrong as a prank.

Audiences' laughters could be heard in the video as they listened to Aldrin's joke.
