Moon walker Buzz Aldrin punches conspiracy theorist Bart Sibrel

Moon walker Buzz Aldrin punches conspiracy theorist Bart Sibrel The 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing has drawn conspiracy theorists back out of the woodwork. And so too has footage of those who have taken matters, or Bibles in this case, into their own hands in their quest for the truth. Apollo Lunar Module pilot on the Apollo 11 mission Buzz Aldrin and mission commander Neil Armstrong were the first two humans to land on the Moon on July 20, 1969. Since their return the pair have been dogged by sceptics claiming the landing was nothing but an elaborate hoax staged by NASA. On September 9, 2002, Aldrin was accosted by conspiracy theorist Bart Sibrel and a film crew outside a Beverly Hills hotel he was lured to on the pretext of being interviewed for a Japanese children’s TV show. The footage shows Sibrel confronting Aldrin and demanding he swear on the Bible he walked on the Moon, calling the former astronaut out for being a “thief, liar and coward”.
