Our mom is currently in the hospital, facing complications from surgery to remove a brain tumor, so we’re re-dropping this episode to mark the anniversary of the moon landing. Join us, Sky and Blue, on 87.9 WKMU, "What Keeps Me Up," as we plunge into the rabbit hole of the moon landing hoax theory, sparked by our listener Dominic’s brilliant idea. We dig into the doubts surrounding the Apollo missions, particularly the challenge of navigating the Van Allen radiation belts and whether aluminum and Kevlar shielding could truly protect against cosmic rays. The plot thickens as we uncover eerie UFO stories, from the 1947 Roswell crash to strange shape-memory metals found in New Mexico and Brazil, leading us to speculate if alien technology played a role in reaching the moon. With a big shout-out to our favorite YouTube channel, The Why Files, and our usual dose of quirky tangents and humor, this episode blends conspiracy, curiosity, and a touch of cosmic wonder. Tune in for a far-out journey that’ll keep you up at night!
