clichy to a.b.c. it was a pity it wasn't us russians but space travel was developing fast and it was clear to us that many countries would send their astronauts into space and you will. i am. right right. right. but. of course it was a colossal event. i don't think of ever again such awake in front of the television at 3 am waiting for something to happen and see if this.

now to many it may seem like sheer lunacy but if you've been on social media today there's a good chance you seem at least one person claiming the moon landings were fake for more on why so many people online are claiming that we never went to the moon joined by children our social media reporter why does this rumor continue to stick well i mean if you look at it it's kind of a sexy idea i mean if you really think about it the whole idea that maybe you could learn a secret out there that the whole world doesn't know has kind of a way of resonating with a lot of people so it's kind of understandable but unfortunately comes the claims that the moon landing were fake when we just know that's not true historical evidence doesn't back it up i mean 400000 people were involved in bringing us to the moon developing the technology and they would all have to be lying in order for it to be true but what we're seeing with conspiracy theories like this is that they really kind of resonate in social media because it kind of speaking to us in a way that really takes advantage of some of the weaknesses that we have or guardian our use of social media in general theory is have been around for a while how much of an accelerator have the social media been well you're right i

mean these rumors have been cropping up since the seventy's i mean people been saying that stanley cooper of the famous american director was actually involved in faking the moon landings of course we know that's not the case but really we're seeing them spread more and more in social media because social media is giving a voice to the general masses i mean that's one of the great things about social media it's been giving it gives every voice basically equal weight but that's also given a platform to some of the more fringe elements in society that's part of the reason we're seeing things like you know like the ending of x. movement cropped up and become so strong and also with the flat earth society people believe that the world is actually flat i mean their voice is given just as much weight as people who actually have you know ph d.'s scientific backgrounds are actually doing the real experiments i mean that's that's the one side and so you know it's kind of bringing all of this out to the foreground another aspect is at the end of the day social media isn't necessarily there to connect us all social media is to get butts in chairs clicking mousers staring at screens you know we talk a lot about the i. chamber that's out of all of the social media in these algorithms

that support the systems that suggests the next video that suggests the next bit of information they have a way of once you should a little bit of interest in something like a moon conspiracy it gets you locked in and make sure that you just keep connected with it you keep looking at the next video you keep looking at that next clip and it kind of increases huge echo chamber that's really kind of gives you the opinion quite quickly that the whole world believes it how do you stop the echo well that is the question and i guess it comes down to media competence at the end of the day we have to be critical more so now than ever before we really need to think critically about the media we're consuming and that also goes for you know t.v. programs like the one we're watching right now on the one right now so really we need to be critical and think critically about the media we're consuming ok until then with some insight on to the moon landing conspiracies thanks for watching thank you. and that's a news bulletin up next world stories that week in reports i make spicer thanks for joining us.
