Description
In Exposing the Greatest Lie in History, Matt Wallace peels back the layers of America’s proudest achievement to reveal the cracks beneath the story. From missing tapes and impossible shadows to the deadly Van Allen radiation belts, Wallace asks the questions NASA hopes you won’t.
Why was Richard Nixon—the president remembered for lies and cover-ups—the only leader in history to “put men on the Moon”?
Why has no human returned in more than fifty years, despite technology today far surpassing the 1960s?
And why does so much of the evidence—the very proof of mankind’s “giant leap”—remain missing, destroyed, or unexplained?
Blending Cold War politics, media manipulation, and hidden history, Moonfall challenges everything you thought you knew about Apollo.
Was it triumph—or theater?
Truth—or the perfect conspiracy?
The Moon hasn’t changed. But what we believe about it might.
