A no-nonsense, fact-filled debunking of all the main "Moon hoax" conspiracy theories, collected in a single book. If you're an open-minded doubter, you'll find technically accurate but plain-English answers to your questions; if you're a space enthusiast or professional, you'll find a handy reference for dealing with the most obstinate hoax believers and for clarifying popular objections and misconceptions about the Moon landings. "Moon Hoax: Debunked!" is also an opportunity to rediscover and celebrate one of mankind's greatest voyages, which doesn't need conspiracy theories to be a fascinating adventure. For example, did you know how close to failure each flight actually came? Did you know that pictures of Playmates were smuggled to the Moon to prank the astronauts? Or that there was a secret Soviet plan to land a Russian on the Moon before the US? Paolo Attivissimo is a British-Italian science journalist, lifelong space enthusiast and contributor to NASA's Apollo Lunar Surface Journal.
Siamo davvero andati sulla Luna? Questo libro esamina i dubbi più frequenti riguardanti le missioni Apollo che portarono l'uomo sulla Luna fra il 1969 e il 1972 e li chiarisce, smontando una per una le presunte prove presentate da chi afferma che si trattò invece di una colossale messinscena. Ma l'esplorazione delle tesi alternative è anche uno spunto per raccontare l'epopea della corsa alla Luna, presentandone aspetti pressoché sconosciuti al grande pubblico, come il progetto lunare sovietico, i disastri sfiorati ma taciuti e le foto di Playboy portate di nascosto sulla Luna. Per smontare dubbi e deliri, onorare coraggio e ingegno.
