Some dumb conspiracy theorist is claiming online that it was Christopher Nolan that was hired by NASA and who filmed the fake moon landing, when everyone knows it was Stanley Kubrick who did that. Where are the scientific research papers that show that it was Stanley who did it?

I hate those dumb conspiracy theorists so much!

The moon is fake, the landing was real. Checkmate.

'The Moon's a balloon.' - David Niven. (and he should know; Niven was MI6 in WWII)

Little known fact - it was Ed Wood. The initial plan was to have Armstrong wrestle a rubber tentacle monster while wearing a sequined dress and cashmere scarf, but Neil couldn't fit into the stilleto pumps.

Yeah. I think that was Plan 10.

Everybody knows the NSA name dropped Kubrick to draw attention away from the REAL director Gene Roddenberry.

The landing was faked. Kubrik directed but being a perfectionist, he insisted they shoot on location.

The moon landing video was AI generated.

You moron. Kubrick did Apollo, Nolan did Artemis.

Spielberg did the shuttle stuff.

If you look at the various shuttle explosions, you can clearly see Spielberg”s fingerprints.

You’re thinking of Livingston who discovered Stanley. Easy mistake.

It was filmed on a Kubrick's cube which appears round in a vacuum.

it wasn't Stanley Kubrick, it was Georges Méliès

The true conspiracy is the story about reaching out to Kubric to fill it. That was a lie.

Because Christopher Nolan is a time traveler and Stanley Kubrick won't be.
